scroll pane and tmp_mc

[skjc]

i would like to attach a movie clip to the scroll pane component -

this.scrollpane.tmp_mc.attachMovie("x","x_mc",1) does not seem to work (scrollpane is the instance name)

by attach i mean have it appear in the scrollpane so it scrolls not just attached to it?

any ideas?

thank you

First attach it.
Then use setScrollContent() to set it inside the scrollpane.
this.scrollpane.setScrollContent(x_mc);

ty flashead but no go with this yet:

this.scrollpane.tmp_mc.attachMovie("x","x_mc",1);
this.scrollpane.setScrollContent(x_mc);

i will read up some more on it and try to find out why it is not working.

i am now returning to this as i just cant get it to work - any ideas as its killing me

this.scrollpane.tmp_mc.attachMovie("x","x_mc",1);
this.scrollpane.setScrollContent(x_mc);


scrollpane is the instance name of the scrollpane component (dropped on the stage). x is the mc in the library (exported for as).

I didn't mean attach your mc 'into' your scollpane...
I just meant attach it. the setScrollContent takes care of the rest.
this.attachMovie("x","x_mc",1);
this.scrollpane.setScrollContent(this.x_mc);

I'm loading xml data into textfields that are within a mc (named "event_mc", which is also its identifier/linkage name).

Btw, if I place that mc on the stage and publish, the data shows up. So that's working.

I'd like to now have that mc show up inside a scrollpane component, which I've placed on the stage (only element on the stage), and have given it an instance name of "scrollpane".

I tried adding the code that's been talked about here, modified for my needs:
this.attachMovie("event_mc","x",1);
this.scrollpane.setScrollContent(this.x);

But nothing happens.

I've provided the .fla & xml files.

Help...& Tnx!

the only way i can get it to work is by using

this.scrollpane.contentPath = "mcname";

i have just looked at a similar post on her e which says that setScrollContent is not applicable to v2 and to use contentPath - which i found - thank you
