(I have searched and tried!) TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 horizontal or verticle? is it for the entire page, or just a small part of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 just a vertical for the whole page , it's weird as on the "contact" page it was there by default, but I can't seem to get it to work on this page. I figure it's to do with the simple viewer thing but i'm not 100% sure. sorry verticle!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Sorry just re read that! verticle! : Doh : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 erm, usually if its for the entire page a scroll bar will appear automaticly when your page is longer that the viewable area on screen. when you preview the page you are creating, if you make your browser window smaller (instead of full screen) does the scroll bar appear?

Ric Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 it doe sent recognise the simple viewer as a scalable object so just resizes it you would need to put the simple viewer in its own table and perhaps centre it so the page knows there is something of size there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ok thanks for the advice , yeah I tried that Edd but no difference, next lesson html and tables! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 the bit thats making the page larger than the browser is Flash isnt it? so thats going to be effecting it. tables are always nice and easy. ive got some code somewhere for adding a scroll bar to a table, will have to dig it up.

Tom Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 yeah it is, is there anyway around that? tried inserting into a table but no joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 hmmm you can add a scroll bar to your flash. but i havnt done flash for a good couple of years now. press F1 and type in scroll bar or something. it'll be there. there should be something in the 'Actions' view thing. or try the Macromedia Exchange for a plugin that help you do it.

Tom Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 wahey got it working, had to delete "overflow hidden" out of the script, thanks for all you help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 nice one. did you do the Flash all yourself? or did you use a wizard? cos thats pretty cool and im a little behind with Flash these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Would be good if you could get it all to fit on a page maybe designed to fit inside the most common screen res, 1024x768 so maybe 800x600 would be a good area to work with, no scrolling needed then. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 yeah, have been trying to Wez it's being a bitch though Naah Edd found it on the web, I'm a complete noob to website building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 To keep everything in line you need to use tables with fixed sizes, well thats how I do it anyway EDIT: stay away from frames, although they are easy to setup they do not always look the same on different systems.
