Scrolling, (for someone who asked me) i think it was kedaman

**da_silvy** · Apr 27th, 2000, 02:37 PM

if it was kedaman, i hope this works for you too.

Code:

Dim Scr As Scrolling
Private Type Scrolling
    FirstTry As Boolean
    ScrollInx As Integer
    ScrollStr As String
    ScrollLen As Integer
    StrtString As String
    ScrollInt As Integer
End Type
Private Sub cmdStaop_Click()
If tmrScroll = True Then
tmrScroll = False
Exit Sub
End If
If tmrScroll = False Then
Scr.StrtString = txtScroll.Text 'This is the scrolling text
tmrScroll.Interval = Scr.ScrollInt
tmrScroll = True
End If
Scr.FirstTry = True
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Scr.ScrollInx = 1
tmrScroll = False
Scr.FirstTry = True
lblScroll.Width = 2895
Scr.ScrollInt = 50
End Sub
Private Sub tmrScroll_Timer()
If Scr.FirstTry = True Then
For i = 0 To 41
Scr.StrtString = Scr.StrtString & " "
Next i
Scr.FirstTry = False
End If
Scr.ScrollStr = Right(Left(Scr.StrtString, Scr.ScrollInx), 40)
lblScroll.Caption = Scr.ScrollStr
Scr.ScrollInx = Scr.ScrollInx + 1
Scr.ScrollLen = Len(Scr.StrtString)
If Scr.ScrollLen = Scr.ScrollInx Then 'if it's finished (all off the screen)
', start again
Scr.ScrollInx = 1
End If
End Sub

the code is pretty self explanatory

i just got email notification for a reply to this thread, from fox, but it is not here (weird???)

David, i appreciate that u have done that work for me but, sorry that's not what i wanted. Maybe you misunderstood me last time. I gave u my UDT that tells exactly how it should scrolls, the speed should be set to match the words timestamp. However I had made this scrolling go exactly passing every timestamp at the right time which causes the scrolling go whery jumpy and jerky. So while trying to put in some " " to make it go the right speed or give the speed some more flexibility i loosed the codes functionality. Well if you have time, and youre still willing to help, please mail me [email protected] and i give u my current source and a mp3file containing some lyrics for you to work with. you can also contact me if you have icq, mine is 12113437

Fox, maybe deleted it, i'll ask him

**Fox** · Apr 30th, 2000, 07:23 PM

That's right, I first misunderstood the problem...

**Sam Finch** · Apr 30th, 2000, 08:12 PM

what was the problem?

**kedaman** · Apr 30th, 2000, 08:35 PM

Sam, didn't i make myself clear? I'm going to explain once more if so, try read what i have explained, even though i'm not good at it

**Sam Finch** · Apr 30th, 2000, 09:04 PM

**Fox** · Apr 30th, 2000, 09:11 PM

**kedaman** · Apr 30th, 2000, 10:38 PM

**kedaman** · May 1st, 2000, 09:22 PM

Right, are u an artist david? I need artist, also i need some1 to solve my scrolling dilemma. I will give some chocolate bars to any1 that helps me.

**Iain17** · May 1st, 2000, 09:41 PM

I am a bit bored at the minute so i would like to have a go at your scrolling problem Kedeman. So if you want to send me the code i'll give it a whirl. No promises though

**kedaman** · May 2nd, 2000, 09:14 PM

Are you accustomed with arringed subproperties or have you done any physical apps like gravity or things, I think this can be solved indirectly manipulating the speed of the text, and sorry, I didn't tell what you need to know to help me but that is not for newbies. The speed has to be relatively manipulated by the current position, and if a sudden jump is noted, ignore relative manipulation. Are you sure you can handle this?

**Iain17** · May 2nd, 2000, 09:23 PM

Who knows if i can handle this. I will give it good go, and you have nothing to lose by another person trying. As i said i have nothing much to do at the minute on my project, so i am a bit bored.

**kedaman** · May 3rd, 2000, 04:42 AM

Will you have time to wait one or two days? I'm damn busy at the moment with all kinds of stuff. Nice of you to be interested in this.

**da_silvy** · May 3rd, 2000, 03:41 PM

an artist with what?

**kedaman** · May 3rd, 2000, 04:14 PM

An artist with good talent of couse! I need some graphical design to an RPG-game im working on.

I'm working on putting a sample on my website so that
everyone can have a try on my problem.

**kedaman** · May 3rd, 2000, 11:34 PM

Now this contains a sample mp3file with all the words and timestamp you need to work with.
An ocx to handle some winamp stuff, i made just for this purpose.
An txt file, you dont need to read if you alread have read these posts
A sample project that shows how to use this ocx.

You need winamp to play the sample mp3file. Don't use any other mp3player because this app is for winamp.

Good luck!

**da_silvy** · May 4th, 2000, 07:16 PM

nope, i'm pretty bad at art

sorry

**kedaman** · May 4th, 2000, 07:20 PM

np, but if there are other artists out there then contact me

**Sastraxi** · Jun 18th, 2000, 01:07 AM
