SCROLLING XML TEXT

FILE UPDATED : 10 April 2008

If you purchased the file before this date, please go to your downloads tab and download this file again to get the latest version.

The header and copy text are editable via the XML file. Scroll bar script will adjust to any amount of text. Mouse wheel support for the scroll button and you can also click on the scroll bar itself. All code is self-contained in the content movie clip so easy to drag and drop into your projects.

Help file & comments in the code included.

If you like this file also see Advanced Content Window XML which has images and more than one page.

hi DS – can you let me know if it’s possible to include french accent in the text? how would I encode the xml file? i presume i would have to use a different utf-8 encoding? no others seems to work and i cant have accent showing up in the swf.. thanks in advance.

jimstr, the colour setting is within the actual dragger. It’s set to a tint.

Not too sure how to change this to acheive the desired colour but at least you know where to look and can play around with it.

Ok i take that last comment back – another 5 mins of fiddling with the colours and order of the layers and I have changed this to a totally different colour and added a gradient etc.

its quite easy to personalise if you just mess around with the file and that particular movieclip :)

@ Digi Sci – Another great file – Thanks!!!

ANyone help me with:

Note: You will need a button to launch the window (window_mc) initially and when it is closed using the close button. See the code on the relaunch button.

I have a button in my movie which will load this movie up but not sure how/what to action the button with?

Love the file though it rocks.

Hello Digital Science,

Great Job, Nice scroll,

I was wondering why Im not able to link a css file ton my content.xml. It does not work. I Used to do this for changing the font propreties. Is there anything to change in the fla’s action script?

Thanks for your help

hey watsup! I tryed to embed my missing characters in the file but it just doesn’t work. Is there something to do with the XML file also? thanks in advance – I really like this component but it ain’t funny if I can’t use it because it doesn’t show all characters (i.e. àéùè etc!) well, Latin I characters. THANKS

I GOT IT !!! AFTER ONE MONTH OF INTENSIVE RESEARCH !

to embed ANY CHARACTERS to use in this component do this:

1. go in the fla file. select one text box – in the properties window, hit EMBED . 2. in the embed screen – highlight another set or simply add charaters in the field. do the same with the second text field – if required. 3. save, publish. 4. move to the xml file. go in menu MODIFY /PAGE PROPERTY – select UTF -8 – click apply and ok.

THAT ’S IT! ALL ACCENTS ARE WORKING ! I AM A GENIUS ! cheers! hope this will help some people. Contact me if you need help – I can help with this!
