The ScrollBar component provides the end user with a way to control the portion of data that is displayed when there is too much data to fit in the display area. The scroll bar consists of four parts: two arrow buttons, a track, and a thumb. The position of the thumb and display of the buttons depends on the current state of the scroll bar. The scroll bar uses four parameters to calculate its display state: a minimum range value; a maximum range value; a current position that must be within the range values; and a viewport size that must be equal to or less than the range and represents the number of items in the range that can be displayed at the same time.

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the scroll bar scrolls horizontally or vertically. Valid values are ScrollBarDirection.HORIZONTAL and ScrollBarDirection.VERTICAL.

The default value is ScrollBarDirection.VERTICAL.

Implementation

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the scroll bar is enabled. A value of true indicates that the scroll bar is enabled; a value of false indicates that it is not.

The default value is true.

Implementation
override public function get enabled():Boolean
override public function set enabled(value:Boolean):void

height

property

height:Number[override]

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flash CS3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Gets or sets the height of the component, in pixels.

Setting this property causes a resize event to be dispatched. See the resize event for detailed information about when it is dispatched.

If the scaleY property of the component is not 1.0, the height of the component that is obtained from its internal coordinates will not match the height value from the parent coordinates. For example, a component that is 100 pixels in height and has a scaleY of 2 has a value of 100 pixels in the parent, but internally stores a value indicating that it is 50 pixels in height.

Implementation
override public function get height():Number
override public function set height(value:Number):void

Gets or sets a value that represents the increment by which to scroll the page when the scroll bar track is pressed. The pageScrollSize is measured in increments between the minScrollPosition and the maxScrollPosition values. If this value is set to 0, the value of the pageSize property is used.

The default value is 0.

Language Version:

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Gets or sets a number that represents the maximum scroll position. The scrollPosition value represents a relative position between the minScrollPosition and the maxScrollPosition values. This property is set by the component that contains the scroll bar, and is the maximum value. Usually this property describes the number of pixels between the bottom of the component and the bottom of the content, but this property is often set to a different value to change the behavior of the scrolling. For example, the TextArea component sets this property to the maxScrollH value of the text field, so that the scroll bar scrolls appropriately by line of text.

The default value is 0.

Setting this property causes a resize event to be dispatched. See the resize event for detailed information about when it is dispatched.

If the scaleX property of the component is not 1.0, the width of the component that is obtained from its internal coordinates will not match the width value from the parent coordinates. For example, a component that is 100 pixels in width and has a scaleX of 2 has a value of 100 pixels in the parent, but internally stores a value indicating that it is 50 pixels wide.

public static function getStyleDefinition():Object

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flash CS3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Retrieves the default style map for the current component. The style map contains the type that is appropriate for the component, depending on the style that the component uses. For example, the disabledTextFormat style contains a value of null or a TextFormat object. You can use these styles and call setStyle() on the current component. The following code overrides the default disabledTextFormat style on the specified component:

componentInstance.setStyle("disabledTextFormat", new TextFormat());

Returns

Object — Default styles object.

method

 public function setScrollProperties(pageSize:Number, minScrollPosition:Number, maxScrollPosition:Number, pageScrollSize:Number = 0):void

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Sets the range and viewport size of the ScrollBar component. The ScrollBar component updates the state of the arrow buttons and size of the scroll thumb accordingly. All of the scroll properties are relative to the scale of the minScrollPosition and the maxScrollPosition. Each number between the maximum and minumum values represents one scroll position.

Parameters

	`pageSize:Number` — Size of one page. Determines the size of the thumb, and the increment by which the scroll bar moves when the arrows are clicked.

	`minScrollPosition:Number` — Bottom of the scrolling range.

	`maxScrollPosition:Number` — Top of the scrolling range.

	`pageScrollSize:Number` (default = `0`) — Increment to move when a track is pressed, in pixels.

Dispatched when the ScrollBar instance's scrollPosition property changes.

Defines the value of the type property of a scroll event object.

This event has the following properties:

Property	Value
`bubbles`	`false`
`cancelable`	`false`; there is no default behavior to cancel.
`currentTarget`	The object that is actively processing the event object with an event listener.
`delta`	`1`; a value that indicates how much scrolling was done.
`direction`	`vertical`; the direction of the ScrollBar.
`position`	`0`; the position of the Scrollbar thumb after it was moved.
`target`	The object that dispatched the event. The target is not always the object listening for the event. Use the `currentTarget` property to access the object that is listening for the event.
