[Flashcoders] UIScrollbar
Hi, I am looking at skinning a List for a touchscreen device and reading the doc's for CS4 skinning it seems to imply that I cannot change the width of a vertical scrollbar. Does anyone know of any workarounds for this as people using the touchscreen don't tend to have mouse-pointer sized fingers (nice one Adobe!)

Hi, Think I have found a solution using Grant Skinners hack for the Scrollbar component detailed here. http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/05/variable_scroll.html Glen On 29/04/2010 09:51, Glen Pike wrote: Hi, I am looking at skinning a List for a touchscreen device and reading the doc's for CS4 skinning it seems to imply that I cannot change the width of a vertical scrollbar.

[Flashcoders] UIScrollBar and Style
OK, so I am using:

html:true, wordWrap:true, vScrollPolicy:auto});
textArea.setSize(250, 225);
textArea.move(25, 50);

to create a textarea and scroll when necessary... I am able to style the
textarea the way I want to with:
textArea.setStyle(backgroundColor,0xcc);
How do I reach the UIScrollBar to set the style?

Re: [Flashcoders] UIScrollBar and Style
Hi,
You can set styles globally for components, and/or you can skin a
component in your library:
Assuming this is AS2, the way I did the scrollbar skinning was to
make a library swf, put the components to be skinned in there and skin
them using the usual method, export for sharing and make sure you load
in the library swf to your main file... If you just want to skin a
scrollbar in your main SWF you can do this too - you will need to put
one on the stage somewhere.
You can change some of the scrollbar params with ActionScript
global styles - look in the Components reference in the help.
My project had separate SWF's for each page, with text fields on. I
found I could not attach the scrollbar at design time, so here is what I
did to get around the problem:
//mpadText is a text field put on stage at design-time
if(mpadText) {
var init = {_targetInstanceName:mpadText,horizontal:false};
attachMovie(UIScrollBar,mScrollBar,2,init);
mScrollBar._x= this.mpadText._x + this.mpadText._width;
mScrollBar._y= this.mpadText._y;
}

[Flashcoders] UIScrollbar disabled state?
First time I've noticed this.. Where are the disabled state skins for UIScrollbar? Seems crazy that as soon as the scrollbar is disabled the buttons return to halo? Anyone noticed this or am I missing something? Ie: you can set - upArrowUpName, upArrowOverName, but not the disabled state. .wtf?

Re: [Flashcoders] UIScrollbar disabled state?
You can open up the Scrollbar.as file and find the list of skin variables in there.

RE: [Flashcoders] UIScrollbar bug?
Anyone recommend a newsgroup or somewhere where I can ask the following question as I have had no joy on this news group or the official macromedia forum. It is a huge show stopper for the project I am working on and I cannot even get anyone to confirm if it is a bug or not. --- It appears that the UIScrollbar component breaks when a shared library element is included on screen at the same time. Basically if you have a movie with just a text field and the UIScrollbar component, it works fine. If I then add a shared library item to the screen, it stops working. I have created a simple test file (mx2004) to illustrate this. http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/scrollbar.zip I would really appreciate some advice on this as I really need to get around this problem Thanks Paul ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] UIScrollbar bug?
File - Import - open external library C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\Configuration\ComponentFLA\StandardComponents.fla Drag the UIScrollbar from the external libray into your library. Delete the old scrollbar and use the one from the external library :) - Original Message - From: Paul Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 2:12 AM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] UIScrollbar bug?

Re: [Flashcoders] UIScrollbar bug?
Your welcome very much. I find myself in your position almost daily ;) I was doing some skinning/theme work recently and after trying several different tricks, it just popped in my head.

RE: [Flashcoders] UIScrollbar bug?
On further investigation it looks like the UIScrollbar component does not work if there is any element from a shared library on screen.

I am trying to plonk a UIScrollBar component on a multiline input text area in my Flash MX 2004 movie. The scrollbar does appear to be snapping but no scroll arrows are appeaaring no matter how many lines of text I type.
