scrollermc component

[hosted3334]

I have a scrollermc component.The size is small on the screen. How can I make it so that it is larger and has large letters.

I don't know what is "scrollermc" component, but can you set the scaleX/scaleY?

Hi kennethkawamoto
This is a component I found on the internet somewhere.
I think it was flashkit.com.
I tried what you said and I could not do it.
It didn't work.

I am doing this for fun so I am not making money from this.
That is why I can't spend money like crazy to finish this project.

Problem 1
I have just uploade this page.
The video is not streaming

Problem 2
I am still getting that undefined word in the scroll bar.
What do I have to define.


My object is to have a scroll bar and a auto slide show in the bottom of the page and on the top of the page have a video playing.
Thanks

It says XML is missing and we can't view anything.

In the frame 1 of scrollerMC, place [tt]stop();[/tt], and place [tt]gotoAndPlay(2);[/tt] in here:

[tt]function init(success){
if(success==true){
...
here[/tt]

Hi kennethkawamoto
Thanks for your help.
I am having dilluculity understanding where to place that code.
The only thing I understandis frame 1 of scrollermc.
If you can place the code and upload it to box.net I would appreciate it.
Thanks again.

No need for it

The first few lines of scrollerMC frame 1 code:

[b]stop();[/b]

x=new XML();
x.onLoad=init;
x.load(exemel);
x.ignoreWhite=true;

// scroller variables //
var last=-1; 			//set to -1 bc if set to 0 it skips the first char
var delayFlag=false;	// scroll pause toggle
scroller.text="";		// clear scroller text
scroller.border=true;
function init(success){
	if(success==true){
		root=x.firstChild;
		getView(root);
		getSpeed(root);
		getHotSpot(root);
		formatTextBox(root);
		getText(root);
		[b]gotoAndPlay(2);[/b]
	}else{
		// the fun path :)
		trace("error reading xml["+exemel+"]");
	}
}

Hi kennethkawamoto
This is what I did with your code and sorry top say I goofed.



stop();

x=new XML();
x.onLoad=init;
x.load(exemel);
x.ignoreWhite=true;

// scroller variables //
var last=-1; //set to -1 bc if set to 0 it skips the first char
var delayFlag=false; // scroll pause toggle
scroller.text=""; // clear scroller text
scroller.border=true;
function init(success){
if(success==true){
gotoAndPlay(2);
root=x.firstChild;
getView(root);
getSpeed(root);
getHotSpot(root);
formatTextBox(root);
getText(root);
}else{
// the fun path
trace("error reading xml["+exemel+"]");
}
}

function getView(dat){
// set the view var
return view=dat.attributes.textsize;
}

function getSpeed(dat){
// set the speed var
return sParam=dat.attributes.speed;
}
function getText(dat){
// load text + buffer(x amount of spaces)
bufferSize=dat.attributes.buffersize;
for(var x=0;x<=bufferSize;x++){
buffer+=" ";
}
first=dat.firstChild;
return theText=first.firstChild.nodeValue add buffer;
}

function getHotSpot(dat){
// load hotspot variables
hsInfo=dat.firstChild.nextSibling;
useHotSpot=hsInfo.attributes.hotSpot;
hsTarget=hsInfo.attributes.hsTarget;
hsUrl=hsInfo.attributes.hsUrl;
// flash gave me issues with this, so i just passed a big string
// and had the hotspot actions rip it apart
return cat=useHotSpot+"~"+hsUrl+"~"+hsTarget;
}

function formatTextBox(dat){
first=dat.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling; //jump to txtFormat tags
// set border/background tags
if(first.attributes.border=="true"){scroller.border=true;}else{scroller.border=false;}
if(first.attributes.background=="true"){scroller.background=true;}else{scroller.background=false;}

// set colors
scroller.textColor=("0x"+first.attributes.textColor);
scroller.backgroundColor=("0x"+first.attributes.bgColor);

}

Well, you only need to add two lines to the original code. But [tt]gotoAndPlay(2);[/tt] needs to go where I put it.

Hi kennethkawamoto
I did what you said and still does not work.

stop();


x=new XML();
x.onLoad=init;
x.load(exemel);
x.ignoreWhite=true;

// scroller variables //
var last=-1; //set to -1 bc if set to 0 it skips the first char
var delayFlag=false; // scroll pause toggle
scroller.text=""; // clear scroller text
scroller.border=true;
function init(success){
if(success==true){
root=x.firstChild;
getView(root);
getSpeed(root);
getHotSpot(root);
formatTextBox(root);
getText(root);
gotoAndPlay(2);
}else{
// the fun path
trace("error reading xml["+exemel+"]");
}
}

function getView(dat){
// set the view var
return view=dat.attributes.textsize;
}

function getSpeed(dat){
// set the speed var
return sParam=dat.attributes.speed;
}
function getText(dat){
// load text + buffer(x amount of spaces)
bufferSize=dat.attributes.buffersize;
for(var x=0;x<=bufferSize;x++){
buffer+=" ";
}
first=dat.firstChild;
return theText=first.firstChild.nodeValue add buffer;
}

function getHotSpot(dat){
// load hotspot variables
hsInfo=dat.firstChild.nextSibling;
useHotSpot=hsInfo.attributes.hotSpot;
hsTarget=hsInfo.attributes.hsTarget;
hsUrl=hsInfo.attributes.hsUrl;
// flash gave me issues with this, so i just passed a big string
// and had the hotspot actions rip it apart
return cat=useHotSpot+"~"+hsUrl+"~"+hsTarget;
}

function formatTextBox(dat){
first=dat.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling; //jump to txtFormat tags
// set border/background tags
if(first.attributes.border=="true"){scroller.border=true;}else{scroller.border=false;}
if(first.attributes.background=="true"){scroller.background=true;}else{scroller.background=false;}

// set colors
scroller.textColor=("0x"+first.attributes.textColor);
scroller.backgroundColor=("0x"+first.attributes.bgColor);

}

It works fine for me, i.e. it does not display "undefined" if I add these two lines. Download your own files and try again

Hi kennethkawamoto
How are you .
Whenthe films starts the undefined word is not there
But when it ends with how are you today.
The undefied word is there again.
Thanks

 

[kennethkawamoto]

It says undefined because you haven't defined "buffer".

Place this as the first thing inside [tt]function getText(dat)[/tt]:

[tt]buffer = "";[/tt]

Hi kennethkawamoto
How are you .
You have to tell me exactly where that goes,because I tried a few places and that didn't work.
Thanks

 

[kennethkawamoto]

Should be the first line of the function [tt]getText()[/tt].

Hi kennethkawamoto
I can't find the right line to place this code.
Why can't you have all the code for frame 1 discplayed here.
