[chacko]

hai all

i have created a flash page which is very big ;-). you must scroll down to see the entire page(contains lot of text). my problem is that i want to put a button at the bottom of the page which if clicked move the focus to top of the page.

can anyone help me in this regard ??

You could try using the Selection object and setFocus on an input field, although I've not tried to jump around the page myself in this way.

I think there's a tutorial on setFocus if you want to have a look...

Why not just use an HTML anchor at the top of the page?

[Taldos]

if u are already using a scroll bar why not just reset the value of the scroll back to it's original position. that would bring you back to the top of the page.

le me know if that makes sense

thanx and be well

Taldos, the scroll bar is not which i created in flash. its of the browser. any other way ?

if that is the case then your code has to be done in html as you are telling the window itself to reset the focus. don't konw much about html, perhpas someone else could help you out there

Hi chacko...put this on your button...

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:window.scrollTo(0,0)");
}

...I've played around with this some, and it seems to work in most browser/OS combinations with PC (not sure about MAC, though)

...the two parameters in window.scrollTo(x,y) are the x/y coordinates of the window..."0,0" takes you to the upper left....by changing the "y" you can jump around to different positions on the Flash page much like an HTML anchor...

Hope this helps...

EDIT: For some reason I keep getting a space between "java" and "script"...that shouldn't be there...it's one word....

hey i have a question concernig such a use of java script from flash. can you use that same method for any other java piece of code and does your flash have to be published in html or can it be an swf file??

if you use this in a projector.exe, when you use the action getURL, your projector will open up your browser with no page loaded and the javascript in the location bar (at least with ie/pc).

you can also wrap pighosts code like this

Movieclip.prototype.scrollTo=function(ypos){
	getURL("javascript:window.scrollTo(0,"+ypos+");");
}

then use it like this anywhere.

on(release){
	codemc.scrollTo(0);
}

here is an example with source.
