[AS3] UIScrollBar not working remotely

[patorikku]

Hey,

My UIScrollBar works with my text field when I preview my file locally.

But when I upload my website files to my server romotely. The scroll bar is there, but it does not have any arrows and is not scrollable.

This is my code. I have the correct import statements.

//UIScrollBar component code
              var scrollBar:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();
              scrollBar.direction = "vertical";    
              scrollBar.x = 752;
              scrollBar.y = 45;  
              scrollBar.setSize(myTextField.width, myTextField.height);
              addChild(scrollBar);
              scrollBar.scrollTarget = myTextField;

My textfield code is above this. I get no errors. It just does not work when I upload it.

Thanks in advance.

Are you loading dinamyc text to your textfield? If that the case, you need to set the target when text finish to load

I think it is dynamic text. The text file is a notepad file being retrieved from another folder.

How would I go about doing what you said?

How are you loading the text?

Using file paths and myReq

//declare  path  and  file  name to the text document
              filePath  =  "pagetxt/homepageText.txt";
              myReq  =  new  URLRequest(filePath);
              //create  URLLoader  to  load  the  file
              myLoader  =  new  URLLoader();
              myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,  fileLoaded)
              myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,  ioErrorHandler);

Theres more code to this, but it functions perfectly.

So you need to set the UIScrollbar in the fileLoaded function, that's the callback when text finish to load

I moved all the UIScrollBar code within the fileLoaded function and it seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help.
