[wanlyute]

This is awesome. Thank you, I really appreciate how easy and straight forward you make everything. I have been trying to figure out how to do it for a while and I am really new to flash. Thanks again.

[OrenjiMican]

Is there anyway to have more than one color of text in a single text box? If so, how do you make it?

[juezna]

@OrenjiMican just drag your mouse selecting the part of the text you need to change the color to, then go to color settings and change it from there

[ozy41]

And its that simple!!! great thank you so much, that was just what I was looking for!! great vid really helpful thanks mate!!

[danielsep76]

thanks for sharing, its a great video, however is there a way i could use my mouse wheel to scroll the text too besides using the scroll bar?

[CuteDollyProductions]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial, Im just wondering how I would do this on dreamweaver. Is it exact the same? or would you have to write out the text in flash, and convert it to dreamweaver? Help pls im confused -.-

[jcameron47]

Hey, thanks for the video. I still wasn't able to get that bar attached, but found out that when I had the selection tool selected, I had to click the magnet on the bottom of the tool bar to "snap to objects". Just wanted to add that incase someone else has ran into that. Thanks again :)

[Innocen7Doll]

Hi! your tutorial helped me a bunch =) but I wanted to ask if you know a way to change the scroll skin! Like per example, making the scroll a simple line with an candy as your scroll dragger. >.<

Thanks once again!

[nazy2948]

Hello , Thank you for your video , that was great. but I have a strange problem. I have used twice this scrollbar, in my website , and i still need to use it. but it doesn't work at all . could you help me ?

[DjBurgess08]

how can i do this without a scroller? for example for an iphone app

[TheSynnedx]

Helped a lot. Thanks. :]

[yusiang1998]

More useful than the crappy manual that DOESN'T WORK from Adobe!

[tyrokeem]

Direct and simple..thank you!~

[OhMiOhMy]

Awesome! Thanks! Now I don't have to look through the stupid Flash book to look for the directions. ^_^

[Lucient84]

[beckywow]

really helped me out, thanks x

[bauzer59]

great video, Thanks

[puertoricanboy2008]

Also I meant to ask you- What if I wanted to have a scrolling text box but instead of text I would have a box with a scrolling picture. Can I do this? If so how? I have a few projects I worked on in photoshop but the images are too big to fit on my website so I need a box to scroll through them. thanks

[puertoricanboy2008]

Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I needed and i got it. I am working with action script 3.0 but am not quite there with this scrolling text in action script 3.0. If you do have a code for it please let me know. But this works great. Again thanks for uploading.

[ddskier]

great video, i was wondering how does this work in AS3 for iPhone Apps, can you make it so you just have to stroke the screen and the page will move?

[ClaudeMarcForest]

Thank you for doing this.

I am new to CS5 and I need all the help I can get.

Yours is nice and simple but very efficient

Claude

[salviaba]

it works perfectly, but it says this:

WARNING: Actions on button or MovieClip instances are not supported in ActionScript 3.0. All scripts on object instances will be ignored.

Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.

[riekotz]

can i put this file in macro media athorware how?

[whocurrz]

Sort of... If you visit the page I mentioned, you will see how the background is dynamic: i.e. it adjusts in size to your browsers window size....but the elements on the page (navigation, popup menu, content etc) are static, and do not adjust based on browser window size. I am just wondering how you combine a background and other elements to behave differently according to window size all in the same flash file..?

[whocurrz]

@scareddogdotcom - Fantastic Videos!!!!  My suggestion for a tutoria/question to answerl: How can one emulate a dynamic, fullscreen background with other static elements on the page like this page: redsquareagency . com

[scareddogdotcom]

@whocurrz I am not following your question exactly. Are you just trying to make a full screen flash video?

[washme1ful]

@whocurrz I have an unusal request... I have a full novel that I would like to upload to youtube for anyone who wants to read it. Can I bring the text into this program save it out as an mpeg video then upload the file to YouTube? I'm really need some kind of way to do this. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

[jasonduskin]

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial! You are officially my hero!

[scareddogdotcom]

@jasonduskin Glad I could help you!

[LeighRK]

For some odd reason, only Video is available in my components. What can I do about this?

[scareddogdotcom]

@LeighRK Did you reset your workspace?

[LeighRK]

@scareddogdotcom I discovered that I had the wrong version of ActionScript. I fixed the issue after switching to ActionScript 2.0

[carlitos18tc]

Thanks a lot!!!!

[mario2282164]

Thanks!!!! XD

[Irapliskin]

You sir, are awesome, I love you in a totally non homo way...depending on how much I make from what you said, might be a homo way... ;)

Thanks m8

[scareddogdotcom]

I am planning to make a few different tutorials. If you have any suggestions for a tutorial you would like please let me know.

[zauii89]

@scareddogdotcom

Excellent tutorial , good job mate

[scareddogdotcom]

The website is back online!

[juliankuy]

your a life saver.

[scareddogdotcom]

Hey Guys, Give me a couple of days I just moved the domain to Rackspace servers. I will have the site back up soon. I will post when it is ready.

[truaprezure]

this guys voice is amazing :D

[scareddogdotcom]

@truaprezure thanks for the comment! I will be posting new videos soon!

[cyhayward]

thank you. you forgot that the text needs to be dynamic and selected for multi-line. headaches otherwise. thanks!

[evetsegap]

If I put this into a Dreamweaver template can I then make the text area editable in a template editable region?

I'm going to go ahead and try it but hopefully you can tell me how to make it work. I have a div on my page and the overflow goes behind another div. I can solve that by setting the visibility to auto or scroll in Dreamweaver but the scroll bar is the same as the browsers and not very attractive.

Thank you for a great video. BTW you have the calm airline pilot voice. :)
