AS3 CS5 TLFTextField Scrolling ???

Hi All,

 

Does any one know of a scrolling example or tutorial for TLFTextField Scrolling?

 

I have read where the TLFTextField class does not support Scrolling yet.

 

 

I need to create a scrolling EULA for 30 plus languages. I have all my buttons and text object using TLF and embedded fonts. All displayed text is imported from XML files.

 

My Flash player is part of Director and (I believe) at v10.3 functionality.

 

Is there a resource I can check to see what works and what's not (yet)? In Flash Pro and Flash Player?

 

Thanks,

Jim

    Put your TLFTextField into Sprite and use scrollRect property (available since AS3 birth) to perform scrolling. TextField itself is not for scrolling, but for text displaying.

    Thanks fljot,

    I got that info here:

    http://cs5.org/?p=179

     

    the scroll commands within the TLFTextField may or may not work (I did not test it), but using scroll components do work on the mc.

    we also have this combine dev environment of Flash and Flex - they don't always align.
