hi
i’m interested in buying this component but just want to know before buying it…will it work with tablemaker? its another component for rendering HTML inside flash..i’m using tablemaker [which is inside a movie clip] and is linked to a scrollpane. since scrollpane cannot be customized [ i have tried all options but no luck…] i’m now looking at other ways to have a customized scroller and yours is i like.
Hi,
Sure you can use the Scroll Bar component to scroll anything. To render HTML tables inside Flash use the HTML Table Renderer component.

its odd that the trial version was working fine and the paid version is crashing my flash program. i’ve bought AS 2.0 version because the project i’m working on is in AS 2.
any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
ok…i need some help to make this component work. trail version worked like a charm. drag’n‘drop and i linked it to the MC [containing the tablemaker component, which gets its data from a php file, which runs a query to get records from mysql db]. with trail version everything works fine [except the view area restriction]. with this paid version…it works but takes far too long to load. the actual view area of the movie is 1280×765. this is not large enough for the component to load it in 7-8 secs. my client won’t be happy with that. the same loading time with a regular scrollpane is not even 1sec. so there is nothing wrong with the php script or queries. that works just fine.
so is there any way to make this component fast or efficient. its effective but too slow. i need some serious help / assistance to make it fast.
thanx in advance and apologies for making such a fuss over something like this. but this client of mine is very picky and i’m sure they will definitely point it out for being slow.
Hi,
The Scroll Bar component has nothing to do with the way you load the content or the loading time of your content.
I guess you’re probably using a preloader or “progress” / “complete” events to count the amount of your loading data and show to your client an animation while the data is loading.
If you’re not using a preloader animationa and you simply wait fo the data to load in front of a blank screen your client will not know what he is waiting for ( the scroll bar component obviously does not handle the way you load and visualize the loading progress of your data ).
The Scroll Bar is simply attached to the Movie Clip and adjust itself automatically based on the loaded content.
If you want to do something more efficient, count the amount of your loading data and after your data is completed loading attach the scroll bar to your target movie clip holding the newly loaded content similat to this:
sb.targetMovieClip = yourMovieClip;
Also go to the Components Inspector Panel of the Scroll Bar component and activate the easing option and choose an easing tyoe and easing delay for better scrolling instead default scroll acceleration.

thanks for the quick reply.
no i’m not using any preloader to load the data. neither i have lots of script in action panel [only 4 lines for the tablemaker]
in terms to making the scrollbar fast…no luck so far. infact if i use easing effect then it does not load at all.
Hi,
Again, as already stated in the previous message create an animation clip while your table is rendered and I suppose that component is having onTableRendered or similar event triggered after the table / content is completely loaded. So inside that event handler or a similar event, after the content is loaded attach the scroller to the loaded content.
Also make sure to set a movie frame rate of at least 30 fps or higher for faster scrolling, else obviously at a frame rate of 12 fps for example the scrolling effect will be slower.
The Advanced Scroll Bar component is the best of its kind available on the market being succesfully used by lots of users in their projects so if you’re using it wise there is no reason to not work exactly as expected, the rest of the process it depends on your particular implementation in that application.
You can also send us a small .fla file at contact[at]flashtuning.net with some of your specific functionallity and we’ll have a look and get back to you as soon as we can with an answer.

HI
i am using full version (AdvancedScrollBar_full) from where can i increase display width and height?
Select the component / open the Component Inspector Panel and set the viewAreaWidth and viewAreaHeight.
I am trying to scroll a wide strip that is more than 4400px. Not sure how to split it to get around component size limitation; it. Is this possible? I did split it into 2 clips but it didn’t make any difference. Thanks
This is about Flash limitations, not the component. These Flash limitations were presented in a previous comment on this thread:

I need help with my Flashtuning Scroll Bar.. When I do a test movie the scrollbar works fine the first time I go the the page,,,, then if I navigate away and go back it doesnt work anymore.?? Any idea whats going on here PLEASE HELP! Thanks.. CB
The last few lines of my dynamic text field are getting cut off. Is there a piece of actionscript I need to code in to fix this?
Oops, sorry, nevermind! Looks like the problem is with the XML file not displaying all the text...
Any Ideas? For some reason the scroll bar will no longer scroll all the way to the bottom of my movie clip. It scrolls all the way down to almost the bottom but will not scroll the last half of the final image.. Does the scroll bar have a limit to how much content it can scroll through?
It does not have a limit, there are only some Flash limitations, check this forum thread:

hello. i have a problem with advanced scroll bar as2. Im trying to scroll a dynamic text that already has text inside. (like if it was static text) The problem is that i can only scroll as height as it is the static tect. this is the way i replace the static text with dynamic myData2 = new LoadVars(); myData2.onLoad = function() { myText_txt2.html=true; myText_txt2.htmlText = this.myVariable; }; myData2.load("BiographyGR.txt"); Is there any way to load the dynamic text first and the load the scrollbar? my movieclip name in content. inside content is the movieclip with the text and the scrollbar. im using the above code inside the movieclip. Should i use this code before content is loaded? if yes how? i dont know how to do that
Have the text filed inside a movie clip and the scroller attached to that movie clip from the stage. Make sure to also use the autoSize property for the text field set to true. If you have more questions email us at contact [at] flashtuning.net and specify your PayPal transaction id to check your details.
I recently purchased XMLPhotoTemplate02_AS3 from Flashtuning. I am changing its look to match my needs, but I am struggling to change the scroll bar. Particularly the pink color on the rollover. It's not in the paramaters tool in Flash nor in the object in the library. I assume it's the skin, but I'm not really sure. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Please post the comments under the respective product page, also what version are you using as2 or as3? I see the template is as3 but you've posted the comment under the as2 scroller component.
