you can use action script to scroll the text ... i think that animating it

scrolling and going to the next/prev frame is a horrible way to scroll the

text. all of the tut's that i've seen did it this way.

here is a basic way to do it in as (this is a scroll up) you should be able

to change the referances to make it work with the other swf.


On (Press)

      Set Variable: "scrollstep" = /:scrollstepm

      Set Variable: "textheight" = GetProperty("rambletext",_height)

      Set Variable: "texty" = GetProperty("rambletext",_y)

      Set Variable: "textlowery" = textheight + texty

      Set Variable: "maskheight" = GetProperty("ramblemask",_height)

      Set Variable: "masky" = GetProperty("ramblemask",_y)

      Set Variable: "masklowery" = maskheight + masky

      Set Variable: "newloc" = texty+scrollstep

      Set Variable: "newlowery" = textheight + newloc

      If (texty <= masky)

            Set Property ("rambletext", Y Position) = newloc

      End If

End On


since you're using a mask, basiclly don't let the bottom of the text go

above the bottom of the mask. did that make any sence?

hello i have a couple of questions:


1) i have a swf file inside a swf file, where i want to load a text file

that scrolls with up/down buttons. i downloaded a tutorial which scrolls a

loaded text file, but it's not inside another swf file. when i incorporated

it into my file, it didn't scroll the text. is it because in my case i have

a swf file in another? how can i make it work?


2) i'm rephrasing a question i asked before, since i didn't get any

response, i thought i wasn't clear enough... when the user inputs their user

name and password to login, i want the user name to appear later to

personalize their visit to the site. I have been trying with text fields and

variables, but i don't really know what to do. Please help!


thanks

kumi
