Basic text field info

I'm trying to use a text field to get basic numerical user input (the user types the size of a sphere in mm, which is used in a behavior to set the radius of a 3d model resource).
I can't figure out how to reference the text they input. I made it editable, tried member("field").text, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

So what #type of member does your sprite implement? Alter the sprite number to suit:
put sprite(1).member.type:
-- #flashComponent

Connecting text fields

Hello,
I have a form that has a basic text field inside it that I
would like to connect to another text field on the same page. The
style and font size will be different in the second text field. The
idea is that as a client is typing in the first text field, the
same words would appear in the second text field (with a different
style and font size) Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

You would have to use a custom javascript to do that. There
is nothing in
DW that would lend itself to such action.

PS: I know how to write info to a file, i just need to know how to get the information from the text field.

I recommend switching to Swing.Absolutely. Writing your app in AWT makes no sense these days. It doesn't really make your app look more "native" than Swing, due to its severe lack of features (accelerators for menus, toolbars, using the wrong fonts, etc.).
If you really want to use a "native" toolkit instead of Swing, go with SWT, which has a much fuller feature set than AWT. Just be prepared to build different versions of your application for different platforms.

Populating text fields with previous info in drop down

Hello.
I am using acrobat 7... creating a fillable PDF
The completed project cues the user with a drop down under the text field of everything anyone has ever typed in the text field before.
How do I stop the fillable form from populating previously used info?
Thanks

Thanks so much..
I knew it was easy.. I just couldn't find it!

Difficulty displaying numeric info in text field

I'm trying to display the playheadTime of an FLV movie
(called vid_player) on the stage in a test field (called
myTextField). I used to be able to do this in older actionscript,
but with AS3, I'm having a heck of a time. Here's my code:
function getCurrentTime(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var currentTime:Number = this.vid_player.playheadTime;
this.myTextField = currentTime;
step3Tab.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getCurrentTime);
I get this error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an
unrelated type flash.text:TextField.

I don't think you've quite been able to do this in previous
versions! The error is telling you exactly what is wrong. You are
trying to change a TextField into a Number and that just won't
work.
I haven't done enough with AS3 to be sure off the top of my
head if it changed or not, but I think you want the text or the
htmlText property of the text field.
this.myTextField.text=currentTime;
or if it doesn't like that you may need to cast or convert
the currentTime to a string;
this.myTextField.text=String(currentTime);
this.myTextField.text=currentTime.toString();

Taking info from text fields

I am trying to sut this game up so that if the text "NateTheWizard" are typed in a text field, then the 'new game' button will load level 3 instead of level one.
with this text, no matter what is in the field, it loads level one:
public void startButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if((password.getText() == "NateTheWizard")){
DotStealthFrame.contentPane.removeAll();
DotStealthFrame.contentPane.add(new Level3(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
DotStealthFrame.contentPane.updateUI();
DotStealthFrame.contentPane.getComponent(0).requestFocusInWindow();
lvl3Popup level3Pop = new lvl3Popup();
level3Pop.setModal(false);
level3Pop.setLocation(300, 300);
level3Pop.setVisible(true);
else{
DotStealthFrame.contentPane.removeAll();
DotStealthFrame.contentPane.add(new Level1(), BorderLayout.CENTER);

DotStealthFrame.contentPane.getComponent(0).requestFocusInWindow();
lvl1Popup level1Pop = new lvl1Popup();
level1Pop.setModal(false);
level1Pop.setLocation(300, 300);
level1Pop.setVisible(true);

How can I embed a text field inside a text object in a fillable form?

I am a new user of LiveCycle and am slowly figuring things out. I don't really understand any of the scripts-- thatlevel is way beyod me. I am hoping that someone can tell me an easy way to insert a fillable text field into a text object. I have been assigned a huge project of converting some very old Word forms into fillable PDF forms. I have done okay with many of them, but ran into a snag with some of the form letters that our employees need to fill out. Basically, there is a block of text (the body of the letter) in which employees will need to be able to type in a date that the recipient of the letter must respond by. I have read up on floating fields and thought that was the solution to my problem, but it seems that floating fields are really just meant to be filled from a data source rather than having info typed into them.
Can anyone help-- I am desperate at this point. There has to be an easy way to insert a fillable text field object or a Date/Time object into a block of text so that the surrounding text will expand and contract around the length of the date entered (this is important, as many of these letters pertain to legal matters and cannot have blank spaces in them).

Hi,
You can split your text object into different parts and place text fields inbetween the parts. With a little manuvering, you can make it look good.
An alternative is to place text field(s) outside the letter body (and set the visibilaty to screen only). Use these to populate the floating field.
or
script the external text fields (or the subform containing them) to be "hidden" using the "Preprint" event, then revealing them ("visible") again using the "Postprint" event.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Set the default border color for text fields?

My InfoPath 2010 text field borders are defaulting to white for some reason (which basically means invisible on a white form). Do y'all know if there's a way to set this somewhere? Drop-downs (for example) are still showing up as the light-grey.
Maybe I accidentally tweaked it but now I can't see where.

Hi
if you want the change color of all the field in new form,edit form and view form then share point designer can help you in that case.
Or you can user page layout in info-path form

Email form script with custom text field and drop-down menu?

Hey, I'm building a website in iWeb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19707357/Website/craftpackage.html
And I was looking for a script that could possibly send an email to me with the info a user chooses from/puts in 1. dropdown menu 2. text field 3. another text field. I'd be awesome if the fields could have a custom background or a transparent background.The drop-down menu could have any background, but it would be awesome if it could be made with custom images !

Basic question.
What have you yourself done to find out?
Nothing?
Start here :
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+mail+form
http://www.google.com/search?q=dropdown+menu+with+transparent+background
Unfortunately, it has no dropdown menu :
http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_301.html
Btw, dropdown menus in forms at select menus. These are not the same.
http://www.google.com/search?q=select+menu+form
http://http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
So start practicing and once everything works the way it should, display it in a html snippet.

Trying to use web app text field to redirect a page.

I am trying to create a web app, that will provide 'members' with a page that they can use to redirect to other pages of their choice. What I want to do is allow the member user to select (from a dropdown menu, or even input their own into a text field) a specific url (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/myfacebookpage) on their customer page. Once they select the url they want, and save their info, that url will be used in a redirect page, (i.e. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url={tag_redirectURL}"> or something to that effect. Has anyone done this or have any ideas how to do it? Ultimately, I want the user to be able to change on the fly where someone goes when they share their user link with a friend (i.e. http://www.mywebsite.com/userpage/ will take someone to a facebook page or to a youtube video, or some other page they redirect to) so they can switch it on their own when they choose to.

Hi Scott,
You could create a web app which as a text (string) field in it for customers to enter the URL they want to redirect the customers to. Then place a JavaScript redirect inside the detailed layout, which would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Give them access to secure zone, place a web app item creation form onto it and you're good to go.
Cheers,

Expanding text field to allow for multiple pages

Hi all,
Disclaimer: Not a JAVA/programmer type. I typically Google things to death and try to learn from there. Created a form and followed some other's suggestions but I'm in a bind with expanding a field (text field) to allow for users to enter info and for it to print the full entry once submitted.
I changed the form to be sent using the email button to select recipients and as a pdf doc. I'd like to keep it this way. I created the form and didn't use a template. I just signed up and am looking for the button to attach the doc, created in Livecycle Designer ES with the hopes that someone could take a look at it. Can't find the attach button. If someone can provide their email address to take a look, that would be great.
Niall, I've been reading your posts and actually tried copying/pasting in one of your fields (re: subform as Flow, etc) but so far, no luck.
I selected all the usual variables for the subform/text box:
Allow Multiple Lines, Allow Breaks, Expand to Fit (Height).
Please advise if someone would be available to take a look and I'll send it to you. Thanks in advance for any recommendations/availability.

Hi Jeff,
Yes you can force the highlight colour on using the following script in the docReady event of the root node (normally form1):
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
You can also change the highlight colour, but this is a personal choice. Generally I would leave it at the default. This ways users are getting the same experience.
For the email submit, there are a couple of choices. If you use a regular button (instead of the Email Submit Button) you can script for custom recipients, subject line and message. There are examples here. You are probably better sticking with the example for versions of Acrobat/Reader v9 and below. You are looking for the last button. The script can be reduced to match your requirements.
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/code-solutions/email-solutions/
If you want to share a form, you will need to upload it to a file sharing site, like Acrobat.com and then post the published link here.
You can use a regular button for the URL, so that on the click event the user is directed to Adobe's site:
app.launchURL("http://get.adobe.com/reader/", true);
Lastly you must Reader Enable the form before you send it out.
Good luck,
Niall

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Problem with characters in text field

hi all
i am missing a few characters, once i load text into a dynamic text field. chars are not missing per say; they are being replaced with empty squares.
characters like the euro sign and accentuated german a letter.
whats is weird is that other accentuated german letters do appear. so only a few selected are missing.
How ive set up the fla:
1) i've added 4 text fields to the stage in the font im using, Arial, one for each font style: normal, italic, bold and bold italic, and in all 4 fields ive embedded all latin characters (to include the german accentuaded characters and im guessing it's in the punctuation group that holds the euro sign, so that one is also embedded), besides lowercase, uppercase, numerical, and all the default groupd to include basic text.
2) i've got a dynamic text field, created with createTextField, and setup the following ActionScript (2):
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "Arial";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = false;
T_text.textColor = "0x666666";
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setNewTextFormat(myFmt);
now, im calling text from a database.
when calling the text from the browser url bar, there's no chars missing.
its just when i make this call from flash and load the text into the dynamic text field, that characters go missing.
below is a link to a print screen of the faulty text that is displayed in flash's dynamic text field.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/340/utf8.png
any ideas? i mean, it seems that the arial font is missing a few accentuated characters! because the code i have setup loads other accentuated characters.
anyone has seen this issue before and know how to solve it?
regards

no.
you assigned your embedFonts property to be false.
look, you can test if you've embedded fonts correctly by using:
T_text._rotation=3;
if you see no text, you're not embedding fonts correctly.
so, use:
T_text.embedFonts=true;
and then test. if you see no text, use:
click on the upper right of your library panel > new Font > select Arial and tick the symbols you need to embed > tick export for actionscript and assign a linkage id (eg, ArialID). click ok. then use:
this.createTextField("T_text",1,0,10,Stage.width-60,50);
var myFmt = new TextFormat();
myFmt.size = 12;
myFmt.leading = 3;
myFmt.font = "ArialID";
T_text.html = true;
T_text.autoSize = "left";
T_text.multiline = true;
T_text.wordWrap = true;
T_text.selectable = false;
T_text.embedFonts = true;
T_text.textColor = 0x666666; // no quotes here. this is a number
T_text.htmlText = _global.gallery_1_image_text_1; // this holds the text im displayed, called in from a database.
T_text.setTextFormat(myFmt); // to format the above text, use setTextFormat(). if you want to format text added after this line, use setNewTextFormat()

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Nifty Styles
(Norfolk, England)
P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty
