Action Builder

I have a form that no longer allows me to create new actions in Action Builder or edit and save existing actions.  Has anyone seen this before?

I have not been able to reproduce this, but maybe I have a suggestion. Do you have an incomplete action? The button to add an action is grayed out if you don't finish the action you started. that's the only way I've been able to make the form stop letting me add actions. I didn't get the form that full, so maybe there's a limit on the number of actions.

  • Problem with Action Builder and Numeric Field

    Here's my scenario:
    I have a form with a numeric field for the PO Amount and a text field for the Role.  I tried to create an action builder to do the following:
    Condition - When numeric field PO Amount is less than 250,000
    Result - Set Value of Role to be Manager
    When I enter an amount less than 250,000, nothing appears in the Role text field.
    Any help is appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hi,
    this is not so difficult.
    You have to use the script editor (about windows)
    Then you have to mark your numeric field.
    Then you have to select "EXIT" and "JAVASCRIPT".
    Then you have to copy the following script:
    (I come from germany and I don't know which amount you mean because in german is this switched 1,000.00 $ is in german 1.000,00 $) This is the only thing which you adapt maybe.
    if(this.rawValue <250)
        TextField1.rawValue = null;
    }else
        TextField1.rawValue = "Manager";
    Hope it will helps,

  • How hard is it to use javascript to show/hide fields. Is it easier to use the action builder?

    I know nothing about javascript and all that ive been using so far has been stuff ive found on here (thank you everyone).
    Using the action builder seems like its gonna be very tedious to do since i have so many subforms that hide, would it be esier to use javascript?

    I know nothing about javascript myself but I just created a form with about 10 different subform that show or hide depending on what the user chooses from a drop down list and I used Action Builder. If we don't know javascript, how can we use it? But Action Builder did a fine job of hiding/showing wherever I needed it. And Action Builder can do more than one thing by clicking that + sign when you are building an action.
    For instance, I needed to place a button in each subform that would close both the field that the person was working in and also the subform on the next page where the information was going into floating fields in a text block that was only visible thru a drop down list text select. I could have never figured out how to do that based on my knowledge of javascript. Thank Adobe for including Action Builder in this version of LiveCycle and I use it all the time. I find it extremely easy to use but it takes a little mental training to think thru the steps of how you can use the menu in Action Builder to make your form do what you need it to do.
    And if all else fails, ask this forum. I struggle for just so long before I come here and ask for help. I always get the answer I need. I hope you will too.
    Good luck,
    Jeanette

  • So now because of the action builder in Acrobat X and LC 9, is scripting still necessary?

    Dont bash me for this, im a n00b and dont know anything about scripting. But it seems that I can do a lot of what I wanted to do when I didnt know how to write Java but now using the action builder I can do it.

    The action builder in LiveCycle Designer is handy for beginners to get a form to behave as they want. It generates the code that you can then look at, learn from, and further modify to suit your needs. Some of the more advanced things require customized code, so you'll need to learn scripting to move beyond the basics.

  • Action Builder to send 2 emails at once

    I would like  to know if it is possible to send two different email with one click?
    I have one button that email's a summary of what was approved. .Then I have another button that submits a XML file to SharePoint for processing by nintex. I would like to eliminate one step if possible by combining two actions into one button is this possible. And if I do not use the action builder what can I do.

    What are you using for sending these packets? A UDP Socket? I'd assume there could be some kind of software based que for doing something like this. You just buffer all outgoing packets with some information about what packet the other wants to be sent out with, and when that packet comes in, you simply send them both at the same time.
    Do you want to append them together? So that the data segment of the packet includes the data from the other packet?

  • I don't find the action builder option, in tools menu

    Hi,
    I need to do an action with a button, but can not find the "action builder" option?
    I attached 2 pictures:
    one is taken from Internet ("Tools" menu)
    and the other is of my computer ("Herramientas" menu = "tools" in Spanish language).
    Can someone explain to me because I can not share?
    Thanks

    thanks Radzmar, then I can finish my form! that bad luck.
    I will have to buy the new version... (or finish the form with the trial).

  • Action Builder what version?

    I have Adobe 9 Pro.  This includes LiveCycle verion 8.2 ES.  But I do not have Action Builder.  Can you advise if Action Builder is an additional feature that has to be purchased and if so how can I go about getting it?

    Action builder is a feature of Designer not something that needs to be purchased separately.  If I remember correctly you need Designer version 9 or above.

  • Adobe LiveCycle 9 - action builder removeinstance

    Hello,
    I am currently working on an adobe form that will do new hires, status changes and terminations.
    I want to utilize the repeating subforms capability for network drive and lotus notes database portions of the requests.
    this way they only need to add a subform for the required number of assets they are requesting.
    as easy as this is to use, i need to know if this is a capability or not....
    Using the action builder, I have a repeating subform on 1 page which is to gather the details, and another on another page which is the confirmation page, so the details will get added from thre previous page.  I have a remove button on the subform on the first page.
    this remove button, using the action building i have it set to remove current instance on the first page, but also set it to remove the current instance of the other repeating subform on the confirmation page.
    everything works fine except that it does not remove the instance of the other subform on the confirmation page.
    is this even possible with adobe?
    if not i need to device another way of collecting this data, which would probably be less appealing.
    Let me know if you can, anyone, please!
    Thanks

    More information.
    1. When I designate an object "invisible" during composing I cannot get it to then show programatically with a button click.
    this.resolveNode("countryCodeDropdown").presence = "visible";  (Doesn't work)
    2. However, if I render that object "invisible" programatically, then I can get it to show programatically.
    This code in a "change" script makes the same object invisible.
    this.resolveNode("countryCodeDropdown").presence = "invisible";
    and now, this button-click code works. (Same code as above)
    this.resolveNode("countryCodeDropdown").presence = "visible";
    What is different?
    I've tried setting the object visible in composing and making it invisible when the form loads, but then it will not unhide.
    Thanks!   

  • Mask images while using action build

    I have this small problem. I wanted to create a tiny slideshow in the corner of one slide. I masked one photo to the size I wanted. I used the action build with dissolve effect from the Build inspector and dropped other photos I wanted to use. But Keynote doesn't seem to let me mask other photos so they fit in the shape. Scale images to same size option doesn't really do what I want (as you can see in the photo below). Can this be done somehow? What are my options?

    Well, this is probably more trouble than it's worth, but you can use Keynote to make a a little video out of the pictures and then drop that into your presentation. Size your images the way you like, then make a custom Keynote show the size of your photos, so they're full-frame, even if the show is only 300 x 400 pixels. Make a slide show that starts and ends on the same slide. If you want each photo to hold for, say, 4 seconds and then do a 1-second dissolve, set those timings for all the "middle" slides, then have the first and last (identical) slides hold for only 2 seconds each. The first slide should have no "build in" and the last slide should have no "build out". Then export the show to Quicktime and you'll have a little video the size you want that you can insert into your main presentation and loop. If you use identically-sized images and dissolves, you'll have no issues. If you use any images that don't fill the frame, and/or any transitions that reveal the background, make sure the background of the little video is the same as the background of the main presentation. If your background from the main presentation has a design, you'll want to pick the exact area where you want the video to play, copy that area and paste it into the background of your slide master. LIke I said, perhaps more trouble than it's worth, but it's worked for me in the past.

  • Difficulty calling a function using Action Builder

    I am trying to write my first script so understand it needs help.
    What I am trying to do is make a timesheet specific to my company.  I want to do automatic calulation when the monRegular box is entered.  I used action builder to help me set it up. 
    The error message I keep getting is:
    TypeError: this.resolveNode("TimeCalc").TimeCalculator() is not a function
    8:XFA:form1[0]:TimeSheet[0]:monRegular[0]:enter
    here is my script:
    function TimeCalculator()  {
         var f = form1.TimeSheet.monRegular.rawValue;
         f = form1.TimeSheet.monOut.rawValue - form1.TimeSheet.monLin.rawValue + form1.TimeSheet.monLout.rawValue - form1.TimeSheet.monOut.rawValue;
         TimeCalculator = f;
    what I am trying to is calculate time ate work and return that value.  I am unfamiliar with javascript.
    here is what Action Builder set up for me.
    form1.TimeSheet.monRegular::enter - (JavaScript, client)
    //+ GENERATED - DO NOT EDIT (ID:51E32615-7D96-4FF8-8EA8-F3A9D2BCD39D CRC:2494738674)

    //+ Node1: form1[0].TimeSheet[0].monRegular[0]
    //+ Condition1: NumericField("$Node1","entered","")
    //+ ActionName: monRegular.enter
    this.resolveNode("$").rawValue   = this.resolveNode("TimeCalc").TimeCalculator();
    Where can I go to find some good examples of how to set up fuctions and classes.  You can explain it to me all day but I need an example to understand it.

    Hi ClayMarker52,
    Per my understanding you want to use the RGB value in the expression instead of using the "Red","Green","Black" to specify the color, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and you can see the three colors convert to Hexadecimal is like below and you can use these value in the expression:
    Unresolved to use R:231 G:65 B:8  ---#e74108
    Resolved to use R:74 G:142 B:247  ---#4a8ef7
    Open to use: R:255 G:227 B:132    ---#ffe384
    Click the Background Color or Color and select the "More Color"
    The Select Color window is open, after you enter the RGB value in the Select color window and click ok you will find the Hexadecimal value in the color inputbox:
    Then you can modify the expression as below:
    =IIF(Fields!Inc_UserText6.Value = 1,"#e74108",  IIF(Fields!Inc_Status.Value = "Completed" or Fields!Inc_Status.Value = "Closed", "#4a8ef7", "#ffe384")) 
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • Novell's old client GUI action builder?

    Can you help me remember what this was called, and/or where to get it?
    It was a graphical client action builder, you had little boxes that performed typical client actions such as Login, Map Drive etc. You could join these action with lines, to define a sequence.
    I keep thinking of the name Top Hat, but I really cannot remember. Help!
    Regards.

    Wait one: You're not thinking about the very old Novell Visual AppBuilder, are you? (aka AppWare)
    Yes! That's it. Wow. Great memory. Always thought it could be the foundation of something great. (even runbook stuff like Opalis and Automise).
    Your book was SE Using Netware 5: ISBN 0789720566. Great book.

  • Can I use action build to fade one table row as I move to the next row in the table?

    I have built a table with 6 rows.  Right now,I am building the table row by row when I play the slide. Is there a way to fade or dissolve one row when I move to the next row in the table? I want to be able to de-emphasize the row I just discussed when I move to the next row in the table. I can fade the entire table by invoking that action but I do not seem to be able to use this action one row at a time. Thanks for your comments and assistance.

    you will have to use a workaround to get the exact effect you described
    create a table with out any text
    use text tool to add text and position in each table cell
    select the text boxes( command click) in the first row and group them (arrange > group)
    use a, build in, to display text and then a, build out, to remove it
    repeat the above for the other rows

  • Is it possible to change an image while a Build or Action is happening?

    Here's what i'm trying to accomplish:
    I am panning across a large photo, when most of the way across the photo (as the pan still continues) i'd love the photo to fade into a MODIFIED version of the same photo (modified as in, changed in Photoshop). Can this be done? I can't figure out how "cheat" and do it going from one slide to another that the movement stays smooth.
    Any help greatly appreciated. I have consumed nearly an entire pint of Ben & Jerrys in frustration.

    Yes, this is possible.
    First, create your panning animation with the first image you would like to use (use an Action Build to do the movement). Then, go to Format->Copy Animation. Then place the image you want to fade into on the slide, right on top of the first image, and Format->Paste Animation to paste the movement onto the second image. Now, add a second Action Build of type Opacity to the second image, from 0% to 100%, and in the Build Order drawer, select "With Previous Animation" on both of the Action Builds of the second image.
    What you should end up with is both images moving together, and the second image fading from fully transparent to fully opaque during the movement, making it seem like the first image is fading into the second one.
    Hope this helps.

  • Build and Action at the same time

    Is it possible to have a build and an action occur at the same time. I have a photo I want to dissolve in as it is moving from one part of the screen to another. So far I've only been able to do one after the other is completed. Any way to do this?

    You can't do build in/outs and action builds at the same time.
    But you're in luck, because you CAN have two action builds at the same time! So have an Opacity action build from 0-100% at the same time as your Move action build, and you're set.
