Scroll Pane

[Trashcan]

How can I make the scroll pane see trough?
I want to have the scrolling options for text/images that the scroll pane offers, and I want to see the image behind the scroll pane trought the text that the user is reading

soo, I have to dig into the components of Flash and have some fun there...

Can anybody help me here?

Also, if I cannot do that, if I create a scroll in actionscript with where the user hist a button and the text scrolls up/down - you know what I mean. Can I make that transparent?


Help is needed fast... as always
thanx

read in the dictionery about the globalStyleFormat and setStyleFormat

styleformat doesnt help - thats only for RGB changes.
not for making the background see through..

Well, well, this is more academic now, since we will ignore making the contentpane all together..

but I would like to know.

thanks

Is there a reason why you can't go into the pane and change the opacity of the background to your pane, then put your image either inside the pane or behind it?

i have no idea what you mean.....
sorry.... could you be a bit more specific?

If you're using the FlashMX component scrollpane, then it is made up of pieces, just like any object. The bounding box (under Library:GlobalSkins: Component Skins) can be set to transparent. You could also put your image inside the bounding box symbol if you wanted to. With your text set to a transparent background, you should be able to see your image behind the text.

and there we go
I made it, thanks a lot!

I've of course been in there, I have seen the fbounding box object a lot of times, but never new what to do with it.... oh well - that's what happens...

anyway - as I said, this became purely academic, but it is a nice feature to know about.

this is a good forum I have to say!

Hey, I hope you come back to help me out with this... because This is exactly what I'm trying to do.

First of all, I see the Bounding Box in the compenent Skins folder of my Library. however, I dont clearly understand how To set it, to transparent.

I tried "_root.FBoundingBox._alpha=0" .... that didnt quite work out.

I'm wondering if i'm missing something... in fact, I'm SURE that I am.



**Update **

I kinda figured it out on my own... Here's what I did.

I was looking through the folders in my Library, I clicked on "boundingBox" in the Core Assets - Developers Only folder. I double clicked on "boundingBox" and in the actionscript panel, i typed "this._alpha=0"

When I tested my movie, the White bg was now Gone.

Hope that helps other people looking for a way to do this out. Also if anyone knows of an easier way to do it, Please let me and others know.
