Integration with the ultimateScroller

The MulticolumnTextField component can be used with the Flashloaded ultimateScroller in the same manner that you would scroll any movie clip with the ultimateScroller.

  1. Give an instance name to the MulticolumnTextField that is on your stage, for example, myMTF.
     
  2. Drag and drop an instance of the ultimateScroller onto your stage and place it at the same height at the MulticolumnTextField component (same Y). The ultimateScroller should be positioned along the X in a way that it will display the text across the entire width of the columns.

        For example:

If the MulticolumnTextField component is positioned at X=100 and it contains 2 columns, each being 190px wide with the second column starting at an X position of 200, the ultimateScroller should be positioned at X=490.

This was calculated as follows:       

  100 X position of MulticolumnTextField
+ 200 Starting X position of second column
+ 190 Width of second column
_______  
  490 Total

 

  1. Set the instance name of the MulticolumnTextField, "myMTF" for the "Scroll Target" parameter in the ultimateScroller and set all other desired ultimateScroller parameters (e.g. Use Mask, easing).
