Easy Scrolling text
There are several ways to create scrolling text in Flash:
- Make dynamic or input text fields scrollable by using menu commands or the text field handle. This does not add a scrollbar to the text field, but instead allows the user to scroll the text with the arrow keys (for text fields also set to Selectable) or the mouse wheel. The user must first click the text field to give it focus.
- Add an ActionScript 3.0 UIScrollbar component to a text field to make it scroll.
- In ActionScript 3.0, use the scrollH and scrollV properties of the TextField class.
- Add an ActionScript 2.0 ScrollBar component to a text field to make it scroll.
- In ActionScript 2.0, use the TextField object’s scroll and maxscroll properties to control vertical scrolling and the hscroll and maxhscroll properties to control horizontal scrolling in a text field.
Make dynamic text scrollable
Do one of the following:
- Shift-double-click the lower-right handle on the dynamic text field. The handle will turn from an unfilled square (non-scrollable) to a filled square (scrollable).
- Using the Selection tool
, select the dynamic text field and then select Text > Scrollable. - Select the dynamic text field with the Selection tool. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the dynamic text field and select Scrollable from the context menu.
