Text Scroll 2

[coldfused]

Ewan or anyone else we talked about this in a thread a whilke back. I have sime scrolling textcontrlloed by a clip as followed:

onClipEvent (load) {
var speed = 1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (scrollD == "up&quot {
_parent.txt.scroll -= speed;
} else if (scrollD == "down&quot {
_parent.txt.scroll += speed;
}
}

Button that scolls the text:

on(press) {
control.scrollD = "up";
}
on(release) {
control.scrollD = false;
}
(Compliments of bigbaddave)

Now what I wanted to do is slow down the scroll. Ewan you suggested that I change the 1 to .5 or something but if I do that then the scroll doesn't work.

Any suggestion on how to smooth this scroll up and slow it down as well. Or do you have another scroll script lying around I could drop in?

A .5 speed (or anything less than 1) will work but you have to add in an extra stage:

 onClipEvent (load) {
	var speed = .5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (scrollD == "up") {
		scrollPoint -= speed;
		_parent.txt.scroll = Math.floor(scrollPoint);
	}
	else if (scrollD == "down") {
		scrollPoint += speed;
		_parent.txt.scroll = Math.floor(scrollPoint);
	}
}

Ewan that got even choppier as you said it would by reducing the speed like that.

Do you have anything lying around that has the text scrolling but with that easing effect?

I've allways liked this one. No buttons but nice easing and you can scroll it as fast or as slow as you want.

Thats a good file old. Unfortunatley the other left out the damn actionscript in the fla?

Also I need this to work with loaded text.

You could load the text into a field inside a movieclip and then use the scroll buttons to move the clip's _y position which means you could have a pixel-by-pixel scroll. Would be very smooth but not as flexible.

Or in MX you can treat the textfield as a clip, embed the font and use a mask to show the parts you want to display.
