Applying filters to dynamic text?

I'd like to apply a filter to a textfield, and have any text
I put in there to show the effects of that filter. should be
easy... probably just missing somthing obvious. so far I have
embedded the font, and I have used the filters tab, and have added
filters in AS3, but no go.

You say you have used the filters tab, and then you say you
added filters in AS3. Those are two different things. Using the
filters tab implies you are using the Flash CS3 interface to add
filters. Using AS3 implies you are typing code into the Actions
panel to apply filters.
To apply filters to the textfield using the Flash CS3 filters
tab, be sure the textfield is selected when you select the filters.
If this is an AS3 coding problem, show the code you are
using.

What's the code for applying CSS to an XML file, in a dynamic text feild

Hi all,
Very simply put, just like in the title.
If you have a CSS ready, an XML file that already appears
inside a dynamic text field, what AS2 code would you use to connect
the CSS so it applies to the XML file which is now unstyled?
thanks!!!

...sorry for thaking a while to get back to you. I pluged the
code you provided and the exported flash does not deplay the text.
instead it says "undefined" which to me means something in the xml
files is work, which is strage since I tested the xml file in a
browser and it works find. so i am providing both the AS code
(below) and the xml and css file (attached). my hope is that you
can direct me to what the problem is.
THANK YOU AGAING FOR ALL YOU HELP!!!

Enchancement Request: IR arrow button in Search Filter uses applied Filters

Hello,
I'd like to request an Enhancement.
I'd like the IR arrow button in IR Search Filter, when performs the DISTINCT to provide choices in list for the user to select, that would take into consideration any other Filters that have already been applied to the IR Report in.
Currently it seems that it ignores any of these already applied filters and provides the DISTINCT list of the default report settings row set.
Referencing thread:
How to display values in arrow in Filter in IR for joined table columns ?
TIA
Dionyssis

Ah ha! I figured out a solution. It took one of those "ah ha" moments to do it.
Peter.... thanx for the suggestion, but I am using the built-in Interactive Report settings to hide the Actions button and other things. I am also attempting to hide the section on the page which displays the current filtering, control breaks, etc. that are applied to the report. This is because the page is a public page and needs to be as simple as possible and I do not want the end users to have the ability to turn pre-built filtering and control breaks on and off. The problem is that the user-entered filtering is displayed in the same place as the pre-built filtering and I want to display the former, but not the latter.
I created a display-only item on the page containing the text that should show when the user has entered some search criteria in the search box. I then created a dynamic action which is triggered by the refresh of the interactive report and runs some javascript which first checks if there is "custom search criteria" applied and then hides or shows the display item accordingly. My javascript code is below for those interested.
if ( $('#apexir_CONTROL_PANEL_COMPLETE .fielddata:contains("Row text contains")').text() )
{ $x_Show('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') } else { $x_Hide ('P1510_FILTER_ENABLED') }Shane.

Create a Link using Dynamic Text and Capture Variable

I am building a dynamic website using Dreamweaver CS5 with Coldfusion 9
Currently I have created a dynamic text table. The table is created by querying the Invoice table and displays the all the customers Invoices. The columns Include Invoice #, Date, Amount Paid, BalanceRemaining, Due Date. So basically lists all the invoices I have applied to the unique customer. It is pulled up using a session variable I created from the login page.
My question is this I want to make the "Invoice #" linked so when you click on it it goes to a new page and performs a new query which retrieves infro related to that specific invoice such as Services Rendered, Service Description, Date, Price, Total. I was able to create a link to the Invoice # but I am stuck trying to figure out how to capture the Unique Invoice # and apply it to the new query. Is this possible if so how?
Thanks for your help!

Now keep in mind I am speaking strictly from a web and SQL standpoint as I have no experience with coldfusion.
If you are able to create the link to the Invoice, I am perceiving this as the following:
Invoice
Links to
#123
page.php?invoice=123
#345
page.php?invoice=345
If your page is setup like that then you already have the data stored in the browser request with the GET method. In PHP the equivalent is the $_GET array. I am assuming ColdFusion has a similar array to work with forms. Then on your following page you obviously need to check that the visitor came from the prior page with the proper permissions to ensure that someone doesn't get the address page.php?invoice=### and just guesses through and views all invoices if they are not supposed to. Then your query would look something like the following:
SELECT * FROM invoice_table WHERE invoice_number = $_GET['invoice']
Remember this in written in PHP so yours should be a similar equivalent.
Hopefully this helps a little to get you going in the right direction.

Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

Hi there!
I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
I hope someone can help me. If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!! I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
and change it to this:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

A drag and drop game with dynamic text response

Hi,
I am a teacher and my school has recently upgraded to Adobe Design Premium. Our previous version was about 5 versions out of date.
I teach A Level which requires students to create an Interactice Multimedia product.
In the previous 6 years, I have taught students how to create simple drag and drop game with dynamic text responses.
Since the upgrade to Actionscript 3.0 the dynamic text response has ceased working.
When creating the game from scratch, I need to move to Actionscript 2.0 as 3.0 does not allow me to add actionscript to objects - I know and am sure that this is a better way of doing things, but I would prefer to keep working the way I am used to.
I use a switch case statement which I have copied below to make the drag and drop work. The objects I apply the code to work in that they can be dragged, however, my dynamic text box with a variable name of "answer" is no longer displaying the response when an answer is left on a dropzone (rectangle converted to a symbol and given an instance name).
on(press) {
startdrag(this);
on(release) {
stopdrag();
switch(this._droptarget) {
case "/dropzoneB":
   _root.answer="Well done";
   break;
case "/dropzoneA":
case "/dropzoneC":
   _root.answer="Hopeless";
   break;
default:
   _root.answer="";
   break;
Any help would be much apeciated.
Thanks
Adrian

To drag in as3
blie_btn is the instance of the object drawin on the stage. In AS3 you have to assign a even listener, in this case MOUSE_DOWN, and MOUSE_UP, as we want the drag to stop if the mouse is not clicked. Then we fire the functions, and tell the object to start drag.
// Register mouse event functions
blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
// Define a mouse down handler (user is dragging)
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var object = evt.target;
     // we should limit dragging to the area inside the canvas
     object.startDrag();
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var obj = evt.target;
          obj.stopDrag();
if you want to make the text do what you want then something like this might work.
In the function, you could add a text box onto the stage, give it a instance of something like outputText
and then:
outputText = ("Bla Bla Bla");
(^Not sure if this will work exactly^)
PS. I am currently a A-level student

Dynamic text in buttons : instance name goes "instanceX"

Hi,
Another weird one (for me at least !)
I've added a dynamic text to a button and named it, say,
myTxt.
If I put this button on stage as a movieclip I can target
text as
:_level0.btn1.myTxt
If I put the button on stage as the button it really is,
debugger tells
me text instance is now : _level0.btn1.instance1
Why ?
Thanks in advance.
PJ

because buttons aren't movieclips and don't have timelines.
so you can't reference items on, what appears to be a button
timeline, with normal dot notation.
the only real mystery is why flash allows you to apply an
instance name to an object on that button's pseudo timeline.

Connecting a CSS doc to an XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash

Hi all,
I am trying to connect a CSS file such that it applies it
self to the content of an XML file, viewed inside a dynamic text
field. So far I have managed to gather the code that "calls" the
contents of the XML file and also the code that calls the CSS file.
However, when I test the flash movie I get "undefined" instead of
the actual copy.
Attached then is the the AS code, XML file, and CSS file. I
hope you could help me connect everything together.
And of course, THANKS!!

Added dynamic text; How do I stop variable name from showing?

I am creating a simple game for kids. On the first page, I added an "input text" field for their first name. I called the variable firstname.
When they move to the next page, I used a "dyanamic text" field so I can call them by name on this page. It works. However, When I test the game, on the first page, where the firstname is input, it shows _level0.firstname instead of just a blank space for them to input their name.
I know I fixed this in the past and it was something simple, but I can't remember how to do it. I'd appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

Beginning with Flash MX (version 6), you assign the text field an instance name using the Property inspector. Although you can use the variable name method with dynamic text fields for backwards compatibility to Flash 5 and earlier versions, Macromedia doesn't recommend this, because you can't control other text field properties, or apply style sheet settings

HTML tags in Dynamic Text

I am planning on building a website in flash with 90 percent
of the site in dynamic text. Will flash read the html tags in a
text file as text or html and code it as a browser would.

yes, Flash will accept HTML tags, and there are a couple of
different methods to make this work. But in my limited experience,
it's a little tricky, and both require a little extra Actionscript
to make them function. I read some info about this in some of the
tutorials, but I can't point to them at the moment.
First, one can use use the ' yourtext_txt.htmlText =
yoursource_txt; ' method to read a plain text line that contains
HTML tags. However there are some parameters that need to be set up
before it will function properly, and there are several optionals
to choose from, but it seems most importantly to set the HTML
property to true as in ' yourtext_txt.html = true; ' but there
still are several different things requried, especially if your
looking for dynamic on-the-fly changes to different sections of
text. here's a snipit I'd been working on that uses a similar
system with arrays:
did that work, huh? thought I was adding code.
Another method is to use a CSS or by defining your own
stylesheet tags within Flash Actionscript. This method seems to
work better when using LoadVars, where you would define the
ContentStyle. First you define the StyleSheet, then apply it to the
dynamic text area (I'll try this again), here's a snipit: (OK I
think i get it the code will attach to the end of this post, so I
post the second set in a following post)
These are just some examples though, from my own
experimentations, and of course onw would define thier own
variables. I'm no expert, but I hope this gets you going, just a
few ideas.

Dynamic text Underline Links

I have created a RSS feed viewer, parsing the RSS feed with
actionscript 3.0 and viewed on the stage in dynamic text boxes. The
text in these dynamic boxes is scripted to link to web addresses
contained in the RSS feeds in the same node as the text being
displayed. So far so good. Now I need the text in these boxes to
act as if they were HTML links and show an underline and color
change when rolled over and clicked on. Help. Attached is my code.

The trick with the help files is to realize that everything
is organized by classes. So if you want to do something with
text...
Open the help files and select the ActionScript 3.0 drop
down. Then from that list Expand the Actionscript 3.0 language
reference and the All Classes section. Next scroll down to the "T"
section and start looking.
The ones that seem interesting to me for what you were
looking for are TextField and TextFormat. Even if you don't know
exactly what you need those seem like they would have something to
do with text and how it looks.
Then start looking through the entries for each of those
sections. Everything that can be done with text is in there. So
after looking at TextField I didn't see anything about making an
underline or even how to change the color. But I did see a method
called setTextFormat()
So next I check out the documentation on the TextFormat class
and sure enough there is an underline property.
Great, so by this point I've figured out how to make some
TextFormats and then use the setTextFormat() method to apply them.
So next you've got to figure out how to apply the different formats
when I want them.
Things that happen at certain times are events, so anything
that you want to happen now, not then -- or I suppose then, not
now! -- will require an event. So again it is something about
events. So I'll go back to the textfield class and see what kind of
events there are. At first glance you might think that TextFields
only have 4 events -- change, link, scroll, textInput -- and that
none of them seem to be what you would want. Now this is the tricky
part...
At the top of the events section in the documentation there
is a little arrow for "Show inherited events." So going down that
list you will find that TextFields get a lot of events from
inheritance. Sure enough reading down the list I see mouseOver and
(this is important) finishing the list I also see a rollOver. They
both seem promising. Always read the entire list. There are many
times when there are two similar things and if you stop at the
first you might miss out.
Anyways, I hope that this helps you see how the process can
work. The Flash help files are actually pretty awesome and helpful,
but you have to know how to work them. You will very seldom find
the answer by searching or find a fully formed answer to your
specific needs.
Break it down into the classes you think you might need. Then
look for the properties, methods, and events you might need. Most
of them have fairly straight forward names the should suggest what
they might be for. And then follow the hyper links to related
classes than their methods, properties, and events.
PS: I just noticed your second problem. So do the same thing.
So notice that if you look through the TextField class there isn't
anything that lets you chop a string or cut it up or anything. But
notice the text property of the TextField class. That is what shows
in a textfield. And notice that it takes a String.
If you didn't know it a String is some text. You would never
find the String class if you didn't know that techy word, but by
noticing how often it is mentioned in the TextField class you could
get there.
So next look at the String class. What methods and properties
do you need for what you want to do?
The length property might tell you when a String is too long.
And the methods substr() and substring() seem promising to
cut up part of a String.
Finally adding an ellipsis at the end might be hard to figure
out if you don't know the trick. Fortunately you only need to read
the methods to the "c" or concat(). Fancy talk for putting strings
together. Always read the entry to the end. There you will see a
link for "See Also Concatenating Strings." That will show you that
you can easily use a plus sign to add strings together -- just like
addition.

Font Properties- Hypertext/Dynamic Text Fields

Is there any way to create font properties of text when using
hyptertext code in dynamic text fields?

you can create textformat objects and apply them to
textfields and you can use css with html-enabled textfields.

Refresh dynamic text of decision step in UWL

Hi Experts,
I have a custom decision task with a dynamic title that is send to the approvers (could be multiple) for processing from UWL.
The text ís : "User &1 raised a leave request for the date &2. Approval needed."
Where &1 is the user initiating the workflow and &2 is the date for which the leave request is raised.
The decision step is shown correctly for all the approvers in the UWL.
Problem:
The user has an option to change the date on which he wants to apply the leave, before the decision step is acted upon by any of the approvers.
in such scenarios, though the workflow containers are updating correctly, the dynamic text shown in the UWL still shows the old date.
Can you please let me know if there is any way of 'refreshing' the text of the decision step that is already displayed in UWL so that it always shows the correct date.
Thanks,
Cay.

Hi,
There are two thing you need to do.
First, you need to configure the SWFVISU.
Run Tcode SWFVISU.
here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
APPLICATION ( WD application name )
DYNPARAM
NAMESPACE
SYSTEM_ALIAS
Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
for the old workitem this will not work.
Note : If u do not configure SWFVISU then WD application will not lauch but user will get SAP gui screen for processing it.
xlm code must be changed corresponding task for both case.
Thanks and ragards,
SNJY

Dynamic Text Looks Crooked

I am loading text from xml file into dynamic text field .
xml file use the cdata e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<section><description><![CDATA[<li>Gender</li><li>Male</li><textFormat leftmargin="20"><p><b>History</b></p><p><font color="#0025AA"><li>Eye</li></font></p>]]></description></section>
but the fonts appeares crooked even If I embed them in fla.
In anti-alias I used Anti-alias for readability. Select Render text as HTML.
(crooked means the display is bad)
How to fix this problem?

you're probably not embedding your font or the font family/size isn't sharp.
to test, apply a rotation of 3 to your textfield and check if the font is visible.

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.
