Example
The following example scrolls the
my_txt text field horizontally using two buttons called
scrollLeft_btn and scrollRight_btn. The amount of scroll displays in a text field called
scroll_txt. Add the following ActionScript to your FLA or AS file:
this.createTextField("scroll_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160,
20);
this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 30, 160,
22);
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.multiline = false;
my_txt.wordWrap = false;
my_txt.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing...";
scrollLeft_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_txt.hscroll -= 10;
scroll_txt.text = my_txt.hscroll+" of "+my_txt.maxhscroll;
};
scrollRight_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_txt.hscroll += 10;
scroll_txt.text = my_txt.hscroll+" of "+my_txt.maxhscroll;
};
The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player
7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components
DepthManager class instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
