Help on MooClick chat room

[HiFi]

Hey,

I recently built a mooclick-chatroom client on MMF2. I released the beta, and its a hit. But one thing that everyone is complaining about is that they have to scroll down to see new messages.

How do I make it so that it autoscrolls down when a new message is posted? In other words, can you make it so you dont have to scroll down to see new chat messages?

Thanks,
Alec

Use the "scroll to end" action with the rich edit object.

[Joshtek]

1. Block->Unselect Block
2. Control->Goto->Character number->Len( GetText$( "Rich Edit Object", 0, 0 ) ) - 1
3. Control->Set Text

[HiFi]

Control->Goto->

Len? I only have Line Number and Character Number.

[Joshtek]

Err, Character number.

Len is one of the buttons in the main portion of the expression editor, to the left of the OK/Cancel/Help buttons. It means length.

You could probbably use GetNChars( "Rich Edit Object" ) instead (Text->Get Total number of Characters).

[HiFi]

Can you give me more detailed instructions again?

Okay, so I go into Event Editor, go to new expression, Moo Click>Play>On Message.

Go to the Rich Edit line.

Then what?

Thanks,
Alec

wat i did was just made an always condition with the scroll to end object. This way u can scroll up but when u let go of your mouse it scrolls back down.

Can you not just use:

+ On message
- Scroll to end

Or am I missing the point?? xD
