Appearance of Static vs. Dynamic Text

If you have the same font settings (i.e. Times New Roman, 18pt, regular, anti-aliased for readability), they look different visually when comparing static to dynamic text. The static text is nice and smooth...easy to read. The dynamic text looks like it is bolded and not quite as smooth...more difficult to read.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can get them to look the same. I need the dynamic text in some situations because I need the text to be scrollable.
Thanks.
Dave

If you're getting errors like -
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
And you're database has been started you can -
'alter system register'
and that will register the database with the listener.
If you are trying to start up databases remotely you need to have a static entry (listener.ora entry) otherwise you will not be able to connect to the database and will get the above error. I've seen people connect remotely, shutdown the database, try startup and they are not able to. Good way to shoot yourself in the foot.

How to specify "static" or "dynamic" text in Flash CS5?

Hmmm. Things have moved in version CS5! How would I specify text as "static" or "dynamic"? Can't seem to find the selection in the Properties palette.
Thanks-

Should be right at the top of the properties panel. Make sure to select your text box first. Also, change TLF text to classic text.

EDGE and HTML dynamic text in a "box" with scroll bar

I'm new to EDGE, a win7pro master collection cs5.5 suite owner. I'm mainly in the Film/Video post production field (mostly AE, PPro, Pshop, IA) but have been branching into web design the last couple of years. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. While I'm a expert user with all the Film/video apps, I would say I only have intermediate ability with the web apps. While I understand a lot of programing logic bulding blocks I'm not a coder.
So since we're told "flash is dead", my interest in Edge is to try to do some of the things that I can currently do in flash in EDGE. I was excited when Edge first came out but lost interest when it became obvious that Adobe was not going to offer Edge and Muse to "suite owners" but only in their force feeding of the "Cloud". Better known as the "golden goose" for adobe stockholders and a never ending perpetual hole in the pocket for users. Anyway....
I spent the last couple of days doing some of the tuts and messing with the UI. It's matured a lot since I was here last.
I've been working on a flash site for a sports team where one of the pages is a player profile page where college recuriters and other interested parties can view recuriting relavent info/stats about players. This is how it works. While on the "Team" page a users clicks on a button labled "Player Profiles" . (Animation) A "page" flies in and unfurls from the upper right corner (3d page flips effect created in AE played by flash as a frame SEQ). Once it lands filling most of the center of the screen there is a bright flash. As the brightness fades we see the "page" is a bordered box with a BG image of a ball field(End). (Animation) from behind the border in fly small pictures (player head shots with name and jersey number). They stream in and form a circle like a wagon train and the team logo zooms up from infinity to the center of the circle(End). As the user mouses over a player's pic it zooms up a little and gets brighter (like mouseover image nav thumbs for a image slider). If the user clicks on a player's head shot it flips over and scales up to become a text box with a scrollbar. The content of the box is a mix of images, static and dynamic text fields populated from data in an "player info data base" XML file, and some hyperlinks. It's all kept updated dynamicaly with current stats, info and images from the XML file. There is also a "PDF" button that allows the user to open/save/print a PDF of the player's profile (the PDF's are static files for now but the choice of which pdf to retrive is dynamicaly supplied via the XML file.
So.... Is Edge now able to do something like this? Would it need to be a collection of small animations? could these be "assembled" and connected as an asset in dreamweaver ?
I thought I would approach this from the end (ie click on an image and display a box with dynamic TEXT fileds. ) since that is the most important part, ie displaying the dynamicaly updated profile info. Sooooo....
Can Edge display a scrolling text box with Images, static text, and html dynamic text in it??

Dynamic Text preparation for Command button in ADF (Tr component)

We have one command link and our requirement is to preapre the command button text dynamicaly .?
Details are givin below :
I need to get the button text value form the UCMS file based on the dynamic preparation .
The key value of UCMS is "setupfamily_group_1-8FAM4".
In the above mentioned key value the part 1 is "*setupfamily_group*_" is static text and part 2 "*1-8FAM4*" is dynamic which i will get throuth the List of Objects.
i.e managedServices.product.productId. here managedSercies is varible contains the Objects from the list.
please let me know how to append the part1 and part 2 as mentioned above in Command button text field ?
<tr:forEach items="#{pageFlowScope.myExtrasBean.managedServicesExtras}"
var="managedServices">
<tr:commandButton text="#{myExtrasBundle.setupfamily_group_+#managedServices.product.productId}" id="setup_service"
actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.myExtrasBean.manageMyFamilyProducts}"
action="vfFamilyFlow">
<f:attribute name="productId" value="#{managedServices.product.productId}"/>
</tr:commandButton>
</forEach>
We not getting how to append the Static and dynamic text for command button text filed ? pleas let me know the syntax .
Thanks

HI
We have tried with above both options .its issues not resolved .
for the first one we are getting the compile time error
and for the second option ,when we run the dynamic value its self printing in the JSF .
We are trying to prepare the command button text as some part dynamically and some part static and its will act as key in the XML and get the corresponding value from the UCMS .
Thanks

Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?

Hello,
I want to create a document with cascading 'popups'. Not the built-in text-only popup, but an annotation containing an appearance stream that defines text and images. I'm currently using widget annotations based on a pushbutton field.
Each page in my document has many citations that refer to other pages in the document. When a user hovers over the citation, I want a 'popup' to appear containing a depiction of the destination. However, as the destination will itself have citations, I also want the 'popup' to contain citations that the user can hover over, triggering another popup, etc. In this way, a user could navigate throughout the document without leaving the page or even clicking the mouse.
Obviously, with even a modest number of citations per page, pre-calculating and statically defining all of these widgets causes a combinatorial explosion, making the document sluggish and very large.
Instead, I'd like to statically define appearance streams once per document, and then dynamically create annotations and assign the appropriate appearance stream using JS as the user navigates.
So far I've created a named AP in the names dictionary, but I haven't been able to use it to dynamically set an appearance stream of a dynamically created widget annotation.
Also, I've called Doc.getIcon(), passing in the named AP, which returns an Icon object. However, after field.buttonSetIcon() and passing in the named AP, the button does not display the icon.
Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?
Thank you,
Dave

Hi George, I've gotten named APs to work, and I expect hidden buttons will follow. Thank you very much!
Quick follow-up - I will have many documents embedded within the same pdf file, and some of these documents will contain identical popups. However, I don't want to store identical icons in each document on account of file size.
Instead, I'd like to store one instance of each icon for all documents in the file.
Can I store all of the icons in a single document, and then access them by calling <DocName>.getField().getIcon() from any document in the file?
Thank you again,
Dave

How do I make dynamic text look static while the HMTL tagging is enabled?

Hi all,
I am using flash 8 with AS 2.0.
I have a dynamic text field where I am setting it's text value through a variable. Now, I need this dynamic text field content to look like static font on runtime. I tried embedding the text field but that makes my file so heavy and most importantly, it disables the HTML tagging on the text field.
Please suggest me on how to make a dynamic text field content look static on runtime while the HTML tagging is enabled and working fine.
Thanks.

I am sorry. But the attachment was not intended for what you
thought my friend.
It was there so that there are no confusions for what I mean by look of dynamic and static text fields.

Adobe form -- Issue in Displaying Dynamic text along with Static text

Hi All,
I am having an issue when i am displaying a dynamic text along with static text in adobeforms.
The dynamic text is slightly coming down and not aligned with the static text. i can see half row it is coming down.
how to align both texts to be printed in same format.
Request all of your expert advices in achieving this .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani Miriyaila.

Hi,
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Goto Object palette -> Layout. Give values to X,Y coordinates and Height & Width. Anchor properly and specify margins as well.
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Right click on it and goto palettes -> Paragraph. It gives you the text alignment options. Align the text and give similar font and size.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh

Getting Dynamic Text To Act Like Static Text

Hi, need help.
I currently have 7 text/symbols that each move to the right
when a button beneath expands in a mouseover.event.
Working fine.
With one exception: I need to set the text value of that text
dynamically using loadVars (the text is dates that vary).
No problem, I can do that with dynamic text, except for a few
somewhat ugly problems.
Problem 1 - I want the text just to display. The dynamic text
gets the I-Beam mouse cursor.
Problem 2 - Dynamic text lets the user select some or all of
the text, which then shows in highlighted color.
I don't want the user to have any interaction with the text,
and I'd like to have the "hand" mouse pointer over it, which
carries through from the button underneath, just like the static
text currently does.
I've tried the label component, but when you move it, it
evaluates the HTML that sets the color too slowly, so you only see
the start and end points. I've tried on (load) and on (draw), and
the text looks like it's taking a huge hop from starting point to
ending point, instead of moving gracefully across the real estate
(default is black, html makes it white).
Any idea how I can get text to move, to format, to get its
text at startup and still look like and act like it's the text on
top of a button?
I'd very much appreciate any help!
Thank you. Sign me stymied! :-)
Alan Arthur Katz

Problem 1 and 2: Set the textfields to not be selectable in
the Properties panel. If that's not a solution, say a little more
about how you have it pieced together.

On button rollover Dynamic text and Movieclip appear

Hi guys,
I've got an issue - When one of my buttons is rolled over, I want text and a movieclip to appear. When the button is no longer rolled over, I want the text and movieclip to disappear.
The way that I was going to do this was to have anchor_mc as an anchor, and upon rollover have the movieclip play from inside the anchor (as its at the exact X & Y that its needed at) and dynamic text appear.
Questions:
1) How do I attach mc_textbox to mc_anchor --- OR, how do I set coordinate for just where mc_textbox should show?
2) How do I then make the movieclip disappear if the button is no longer rolled over?
3) Is it not possible for me to merge all of the dynamic text functions into one function, using IF statements? I tried this, but couldn't work it out.
AS3 code is attached below.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
line1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in1, false, 0, true);
line1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
line2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in2, false, 0, true);
line2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
line3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in3, false, 0, true);
line3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
line4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in4, false, 0, true);
line4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
line5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in5, false, 0, true);
line5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
line6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in6, false, 0, true);
line6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
line7.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in7, false, 0, true);

line8.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
line9.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in9, false, 0, true);
line9.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
function line_in1(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "This is a test made by the MonkeyTest that has previously messed up\n        And testing a new line";
function line_in2(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "up messed previously has that MonkeyTest the by made test a is This";
function line_in3(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "This is a test made by the MonkeyTest that has previously messed up\n        And testing a new line";
function line_in4(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "up messed previously has that MonkeyTest the by made test a is This";
function line_in5(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "This is a test made by the MonkeyTest that has previously messed up\n        And testing a new line";
function line_in6(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "up messed previously has that MonkeyTest the by made test a is This";
function line_in7(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "This is a test made by the MonkeyTest that has previously messed up\n        And testing a new line";
function line_in8(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "up messed previously has that MonkeyTest the by made test a is This";
function line_in9(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "up messed previously has that MonkeyTest the by made test a is This";
function line_out(e:MouseEvent):void
        line_output.text = "";
        var mc= new mc_empty(); addChild(mc);

It isn't relly clear to me what you have versus what you want, so these answers may be equally unclear to you.
1. One way to join them together is to maually place one inside the other while authoring the file. Another way is to use addChild to add the text mc to the anchor... mc_anchor.addChild(mc_textbox); To control where the text mc appears you can set its x and y properties.using actionscript... mc_textbox.x = 0;
2. To make the movieclip disappear you can set its visible property to false... mc_anchor.visible = false;
3. You can probably reduce that code substantially, though it partly depends on what variations there are really going to be in the text that displays for each rollover. For now, I'll assume the text will be entirely different for each...
for(var i:uint=1; i<10; i++){
     this["line"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, line_in, false, 0, true);
     this["line"+String(i)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, line_out, false, 0, true);
function line_in(e:MouseEvent):void {
     var lineTarget:MovieClip = MovieClip(e:currentTarget);
      // could use a switch instead of the if's in series if you know what a switch is
     if(lineTarget == line1){
          // do things for line1
     } else if(lineTarget == line2){
          // do things for line2
     ) else if.... etc

Why my dynamic text doesn't look as good as the static one in the same movie?

I have movie clip with dynamic text and static text. I am
using same font, size and color. The static texts looks great but
the dynamic one is not. How can I get smoot fonts within dynamic
text???
Thanx....

Advanced anti-aliasing can be applied only if you use
embedded fonts and a
TextFormat class. In your library, select New Font from the
Options menu.
Choose a font from the dropdown list and give it any name you
want. Ok. Then
right click that font in the library and choose Linkage to
set it up for
Actionscript, and in the first frame.
Add the following actionscript to the first frame of your
movie to set up
the font in the movie:
var text_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
text_fmt.font = "trebuchet-15";
text_fmt.size = 15;
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.setNewTextFormat(text_fmt);
myText.antiAliasType = "advanced";
text_fmt is the name of the TextFormat class. You can name
this anything you
want.
trebuchet-15 happens to be what I named my new font item in
the library
myText is the name of the dynamic text box that I am going to
be using this
font in.
One more thing. When you set up your dynamic text box ... if
you're using
HTML text, don't override this with a <font> tag that
declares the font face
or size.
Hope this helps. This should make the text in your dynamic
text boxes just
as smooth as the static text.

UIScrollBar component dynamic text capital letter Y not appearing

I'm using the UIScrollBar component, dynamic text is my setting. When I view the swf or exe, all my text appears except for capital letter Y, it appears in flash, but not the swf or exe file.
Any reason why this happens?
Any help is appreciated.

I finally found the answer but this scenario doesn't make
sense. It seems you have to create a dynamic text field with a
scrollbar during runtime through actionscript, rather then creating
the text field and scrollbar in design mode. Here is the code that
worked:
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
var myTxt:TextField = new TextField();
myTxt.background = true;
myTxt.backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
myTxt.border = true;
myTxt.wordWrap = true;
myTxt.width = 200;
myTxt.height = 200;
myTxt.x = 22;
myTxt.y = 75;
var mySb:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();
mySb.direction = "vertical";
// Size it to match the text field.
mySb.setSize(myTxt.width, myTxt.height);
// Move it immediately right the text field.
mySb.move(myTxt.x + myTxt.width, myTxt.y);
// put them on the Stage
addChild(myTxt);
addChild(mySb);
// load text
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("breakroomText.txt");
loader.load(request);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadcomplete);
function loadcomplete(event:Event) {
// move loaded text to text field
myTxt.htmlText = loader.data;
// Set myTxt as target for scroll bar.
mySb.scrollTarget = myTxt;

Dynamic text not appears on swf export

This was posted in the 'Getting Started' Forum, but no
repsponses, so I am trying my luck here =)
I am new to Captivate, so bear with me.
I have created a Flash file that calls externally text to be
loaded into a scrolling text field. This works fine as a standalone
swf. When I import the swf into Captivate, I can see the dynamic
text appear in the small preview pane of the import window, but NOT
when I publish the Captivate movie. I have made sure to include the
external txt files in the same directory.
Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
TIA,
Deb

Static/dynamic text

I have created a container in a .fla file that links to four
swf files via buttons. All four view fine on my mac. When I go to a
pc, the fonts of one swf file don't show up. I tried leaving it
static and changing it to dynamic with embedding the fonts. Funny
thing is, all four contain the same type style. The only difference
between the ones that work and the one that doesn't work is the one
that doesn't work contains masks (not on the text), motion guides
and some of the text rotates. My only other thought was that I may
not be embedding the text properly.
I turned the text into a symbol and movie clip. In Edit
Symbol mode, I changed the text to Dynamic Text, selected embedded,
and numerial, upper and lower case letters and clicked okay.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a similar problem and was wondering if this has ever
been resolved. I have a file created by another designer that plays
fine in my browser, but when I try to open it with player 7.019.0
the (dynamic) text does not show. I also tried upgrading to
7.0.69.0 and still no luck. I know I have an older version of flash
(mx2004 7.2) but I'm hoping that's not the problem.
Thanks.

Controlling appearance of Dynamic Text

Hi All,
is it possible to stretch the font of dynamic text or make it more bold using actionscript 2?
Thanks!
Patrick

Dear KGLAD -
this is my code, but it says "var format:TextFormat = New TextFormat();" is syntax error.
onLoad
var LCD:String;
LCD="PLEASE HOLD MODE FOR > 1 SECOND TO SELECT";
mc_LCD_text.LCD_text.text=LCD;
var format:TextFormat = New TextFormat();
format.color = 0x333333;
format.font = "Helvetica";
format.size = 14;
format.bold = true
LCD_text.setTextFormat( format );
