Allows horizontal and vertical scrolling of a view port. Not meant to be used as a standalone container or component. Generally meant to be the super class of another component that needs to support scrolling. To put components in a generic scrollable container (with optional layout), see ScrollContainer. To scroll long passages of text, see ScrollText.

verticalScrollBarPropertiesproperty 
verticalScrollBarProperties:Object

A set of key/value pairs to be passed down to the scroller's vertical scroll bar instance (if it exists). The scroll bar is an IScrollBar implementation.

list.scrollerProperties.@verticalScrollBarProperties.@thumbProperties.defaultSkin = new Image(texture);

public function Scroller()

Constructor.

Method Detail
autoSizeIfNeeded()method
protected function autoSizeIfNeeded():Boolean

Automatically determines the ideal width and height of the control, if required. If an explicit width or height is provided, that value is used instead.

Returns
Boolean
createScrollBars()method 
protected function createScrollBars():void

Creates the scroll bars from the provided factories.

handlePendingScroll()method 
protected function handlePendingScroll():void

Scrolls to a pending scroll position, if required.

layoutChildren()method 
protected function layoutChildren():void

Positions and sizes children based on the actual width and height values.

refreshBackgroundSkin()method 
protected function refreshBackgroundSkin():void

Choose the appropriate background skin based on the control's current state.

scrollToPageIndex()method 
public function scrollToPageIndex(horizontalPageIndex:int, verticalPageIndex:int, animationDuration:Number = 0):void

After the next validation, scrolls to a specific page index. May scroll in only one direction by passing in a value of -1 for either page index. If the animationDuration argument is greater than zero, the scroll will animate. The duration is in seconds.

Parameters

horizontalPageIndex:int
 
verticalPageIndex:int
 
animationDuration:Number (default = 0)

scrollToPosition()method 
public function scrollToPosition(horizontalScrollPosition:Number, verticalScrollPosition:Number, animationDuration:Number = 0):void

After the next validation, scrolls to a specific position. May scroll in only one direction by passing in a value of NaN for either scroll position. If the animationDuration argument is greater than zero, the scroll will animate. The duration is in seconds.

Parameters

horizontalScrollPosition:Number
 
verticalScrollPosition:Number
 
animationDuration:Number (default = 0)

stopScrolling()method 
public function stopScrolling():void

If the user is scrolling with touch or if the scrolling is animated, calling stopScrolling() will cause the scroller to ignore the drag and stop animations.

throwTo()method 
protected function throwTo(targetHorizontalScrollPosition:Number, targetVerticalScrollPosition:Number, duration:Number = 0.5):void

Immediately throws the scroller to the specified position, with optional animation. If you want to throw in only one direction, pass in NaN for the value that you do not want to change. The scroller should be validated before throwing.

Parameters

targetHorizontalScrollPosition:Number (default = NaN)
 
targetVerticalScrollPosition:Number (default = NaN)
 
duration:Number (default = 0.5)

See also

throwToPage()method 
protected function throwToPage(targetHorizontalPageIndex:int = -1, targetVerticalPageIndex:int = -1, duration:Number = 0.5):void

Immediately throws the scroller to the specified page index, with optional animation. If you want to throw in only one direction, pass in a parameter value of -1 for the direction that should not change. The scroller should be validated before throwing.

Parameters

targetHorizontalPageIndex:int (default = -1)
 
targetVerticalPageIndex:int (default = -1)
 
duration:Number (default = 0.5)

Event Detail
beginInteraction Event
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.BEGIN_INTERACTION

Dispatched when the user starts dragging the scroller.

The FeathersEventType.BEGIN_INTERACTION event type is used by many UI controls where a drag or other interaction happens over time. An example is a Slider control where the user touches the thumb to begin dragging.
endInteraction Event  
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.END_INTERACTION

Dispatched when the user stops dragging the scroller.

The FeathersEventType.END_INTERACTION event type is used by many UI controls where a drag or other interaction happens over time. An example is a Slider control where the user stops touching the thumb after dragging.
scroll Event  
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = starling.events.Event.SCROLL

Dispatched when the scroller scrolls in either direction.

An event type to be utilized in custom events. Not used by Starling right now.
scrollComplete Event  
Event Object Type: starling.events.Event
Event.type property = feathers.events.FeathersEventType.SCROLL_COMPLETE

Dispatched when the scroller finishes scrolling in either direction after being thrown.

The FeathersEventType.SCROLL_COMPLETE event type is used when a "throw" completes in a scrolling control.

DEFAULT_CHILD_NAME_VERTICAL_SCROLL_BARConstant 
public static const DEFAULT_CHILD_NAME_VERTICAL_SCROLL_BAR:String = feathers-scroller-vertical-scroll-bar

The default value added to the nameList of the vertical scroll bar.

public static const INTERACTION_MODE_MOUSE:String = mouse

The user may interact with the scroll bars to scroll.

The user may touch anywhere on the scroller and drag to scroll.

INVALIDATION_FLAG_CLIPPINGConstant 
protected static const INVALIDATION_FLAG_CLIPPING:String = clipping

Flag to indicate that the clipping has changed.

SCROLL_BAR_DISPLAY_MODE_FIXEDConstant 
public static const SCROLL_BAR_DISPLAY_MODE_FIXED:String = fixed

The scroll bars are always visible and appear next to the scroller's view port, making the view port smaller than the scroller.

SCROLL_BAR_DISPLAY_MODE_FLOATConstant 
public static const SCROLL_BAR_DISPLAY_MODE_FLOAT:String = float

The scroll bars appear above the scroller's view port, and fade out when not in use.

The scroll bars are never visible.

SCROLL_POLICY_AUTOConstant 
public static const SCROLL_POLICY_AUTO:String = auto

The scroller may scroll if the view port is larger than the scroller's bounds. If the interaction mode is touch, the elastic edges will only be active if the maximum scroll position is greater than zero. If the scroll bar display mode is fixed, the scroll bar will only be visible when the maximum scroll position is greater than zero.

SCROLL_POLICY_OFFConstant 
public static const SCROLL_POLICY_OFF:String = off

The scroller does not scroll at all. If the scroll bar display mode is fixed or float, the scroll bar will never be visible.

SCROLL_POLICY_ONConstant 
public static const SCROLL_POLICY_ON:String = on

The scroller will always scroll. If the interaction mode is touch, elastic edges will always be active, even when the maximum scroll position is zero. If the scroll bar display mode is fixed, the scroll bar will always be visible.
