Hello

I'm trying to edit a flash template in flash cs3 The template has a few "read more" buttons that open a text box that has a scroll bar. They all link to the same text box. How do I create different ones?

Thanks for the help.

Have you tried the text buttons?

Considering there is about 10 different ways these buttons could be working it’s hard to tell without a better description or source.

If the buttons are all loading the same Key frame which is displaying static text, duplicate the Key frame, change the static text to display your individual text and repeat.
Then change the buttons code so instead of just making the text visible on press, it also makes it go to the correct frame for that button.

If the button controls the text box via code e.g "textHolder.textField.text = 'blah'"
Just change the code for each button so that 'blah' is something else.

If it uses an attachMovieClip method to put the text holder onto the stage, duplicate the text holder in the library as many times as you need unique text. Give each of them a sensible unique export for action script name by right clicking them and going to properties. Change the text within and then just change the code on the button to attach the correct text field you want.


I could keep going and the methods I'd be writing dont help as it's not the way it works in your app. You need to be less vague.
