scrollbar reset

[Garethh-u6PBDu]

hi i find after reading a page that i needed to scroll, stays in the position were i left it, thus the info page i scrolled may be in the middle or near the end and then i go to another page and when i return the info page is still in the exact same place/position that i had read up to.

is there a way to reset the scrollbar position to the top again so that it would be as if the info page had'nt been read at all.

thanks.

if you talks about the component UIScrollbar, then

just do myScrollbar.scrollPosition = 0;

[Garethh-u6PBDu]

heres my existing code : were do i add it, to make the scrollposition = 0

scrolling = function () {

    var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack1._height;

    var contentHeight:Number = term2._height;

    var scrollFace1Height:Number = scrollFace1._height;

    var maskHeight:Number = maskedView1._height;

    var initPosition:Number = scrollFace1._y=scrollTrack1._y;

    var initContentPos:Number = term2._y;

    var finalContentPos:Number = maskHeight-contentHeight+initContentPos;

    var left:Number = scrollTrack1._x;

    var top:Number = scrollTrack1._y;

    var right:Number = scrollTrack1._x;

    var bottom:Number = scrollTrack1._height-scrollFace1Height+scrollTrack1._y;

    var dy:Number = 0;

    var speed:Number = 95;

    var moveVal:Number = (contentHeight-maskHeight)/(scrollHeight-scrollFace1Height);

    scrollFace1.onPress = function() {

        var currPos:Number = this._y;

        startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);

        this.onMouseMove = function() {

            dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._y);

            term2._y = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);

        };

    };

    scrollFace1.onMouseUp = function() {

        stopDrag();

        delete this.onMouseMove;

    };

    btnUp1.onPress = function() {

        this.onEnterFrame = function() {

            if (term2._y+speed<maskedView1._y) {

                if (scrollFace1._y<=top) {

                    scrollFace1._y = top;

                } else {

                    scrollFace1._y -= speed/moveVal;

                }

                term2._y += speed;

            } else {

                scrollFace1._y = top;

                term2._y = maskedView1._y;

                delete this.onEnterFrame;

            }

        };

    };

    btnUp1.onDragOut = function() {

        delete this.onEnterFrame;

    };

    btnUp1.onRelease = function() {

        delete this.onEnterFrame;

    };

    btnDown1.onPress = function() {

        this.onEnterFrame = function() {

            if (term2._y-speed>finalContentPos) {

                if (scrollFace1._y>=bottom) {

                    scrollFace1._y = bottom;

                } else {

                    scrollFace1._y += speed/moveVal;

                }

                term2._y -= speed;

            } else {

                scrollFace1._y = bottom;

                term2._y = finalContentPos;

                delete this.onEnterFrame;

            }

        };

    };

    btnDown1.onRelease = function() {

        delete this.onEnterFrame;

    };

    btnDown1.onDragOut = function() {

        delete this.onEnterFrame;

    };

    if (contentHeight<maskHeight) {

        scrollFace1._visible = false;

        btnUp1.enabled = false;

        btnDown1.enabled = false;

    } else {

        scrollFace1._visible = true;

        btnUp1.enabled = true;

        btnDown1.enabled = true;

    }

};

scrolling();

This is not the UIScrollBar component, but just a MovieClip.

so it should be initPosition = scrollTrack1._y;

if you want also the content reset

initContentPos = term2._y;

can i just add the code at the bottom of the other code or is there a specific place i need to add it in to ?

[Robert Mc Dowell]

you should put this code in the button function when content is changed

[Garethh-u6PBDu]

sorry i tried and doesnt work can you please copy the code i used and insert the new add in code where it must go and copy and paste it in a reply for me please ?

[Robert Mc Dowell]

Sorry I have no time, I'm at work.

just put the code when the new content is loaded/shown

be careful of the scope, don't know if this code is on the Frame 1 on in a class
