Can textbox recognise subscript,superscript & mathematical equations in LC ES designed forms

hi all
I would like to know if its possible to make forms designed in LC ES take subscript,superscript and mathematical equations? in text boxes? i hope my question is clear.
i would appreciate any help e.g
F(x) = X2 + X + 1
F(x) = X2+ X + 1

Complex formulas need a special language to be entered and displayed properly.
This will be impossible to to with regular text fields even if you use rich text.
Generally the language therefore is either MathML or LaTeX.
MathML is XML based such as the forms created with designer - sounds pretty close, isn't it?!
But wait, a research ended up with the fact that MathML is not supported by Designer or Acrobat/Reader etc., so you won't be able to use it.
Too bad.
Maybe you/someone can create own flash contents with the sources provided by http://www.fmath.info/ which than can be used in the Flash fields introduced with ADEP Designer (Designer 10).

How can I design the motion animation according to mathematical equations?

I would like to design some motions based on some mathematical equations. The variables included in the equations could be position (X, Y) of the object, acceleration, forces and so on. However, in adobe flash professional cc, I only found the functions where I can make the object move faster but speed/acceleration not specified.
Thank you for your help.

Usually you would use a looping function, to change acceleration. This can be done with an ENTER_FRAME or TIMER_EVENT.

How can I write mathematical equations on Pages?

Hi!
I'm doing a project for the university and I need to write mathematical equations. How can I do it using Pages?
Thank you very much!

Bonjour,
Generally for mathematical expressions you may use :
 • Character viewer for a few simple fractions and some signs ;
 • The Equation Editor of Grapher.app in Applications > Utilities ;
 • MathType free for 30 days, then becoming MathType Lite free for life as good as the Equation Editor of Microsoft Office 2011 ;
 • The Microsoft Office Equation Editor : Microsoft Office 2011 > Office > Equation Editor.app.
To use Grapher.app : free documentation (French and English) on website

I'm having a problem with fractions and Mathematical Equations

Hi I'm to write fractions in pages like I can write ¾ as a single caracter but if i need franction over ⅞ I can just write them like 1/9 I can just write as 1 divided by 9 and not as a signle character. And i would like to write fractions like 1/36 o 1/72 as a single caracter.
second problem is that i know that I can insert Mathematical Equations doing Insert>Mathematical Equations but under Inster I don't have any Mathmetical Equations..... Any suggestions?
Thanks, luca

Hi Luca,
You can write fractions as single characters only using those single character fractions available in the character set you are using. For the 'standard' unicode set, the available "vulgar fractions" include the denominators from 2 to 8, with all numerators necessary to write fractions from 1/8 to 7/8, reduced to the lowest denominated equivalent.
The three missing fractions, 1/2, 1/4 and 3/4 are in row 00B0 of the table, where they were (and are) part of the earlier, smaller ASCII set.
Other common fractions ('vulgar' if you prefer the Latin name) can be written using the solidus, a zero-width character (shift-option-1 from the keyboard): 13⁄17
In the example, all five characters are set to the same height,
13 is set to Format > Font > Baseline > Superscript
17 is set to Format > Font > Baseline > Subscript
If you have many of these to enter, it may be worth your while to create a separate document containing a large selection which you can copy and paste into your documents
Regards,
Barry
EDIT: Formatting of the 13/17 example above appears to be badly interpreted by the forum software. Try it in pages for a better idea of how it should look.

How to fix faux subscripts/superscripts made with baseline shifts

Hello all.
There is a script on the forums used to convert locally formatted styles to character styles – Preserve Local Formatting script and CS4
It is a brilliant script, but as I have unexpectedly found out (and would have found out if I read the post in more detail) is that any "faked" sub/superscripts created with baseline shifts won't work. To quote the other thread:
The script searches for attributes such as "superscript", "subscript", "small capitals". If small caps are faked in the document with capitals in a smaller font, the script will not find them. If superscript or subscript are faked in the document with a smaller font size and some baseline shift, the script will not find them.
Initially I didn't think this would ever be a problem... I thought "who the hell would make a subscript or superscript like that? wouldn't they just click the subscript or superscript buttons?"... unfortunately, no!
I thought a solution would be to make a GREP that could be added to a findchangebylist script that ships with InDesign. First thing to do would be to create a GREP to look for any positive baseline shift and change it to superscript; and a GREP to search for any negative baseline shift and change it to a subscript. Sounds simple... until I tried to implement it, as the dialog won't take a + or - by itself... it has to be a proper value.
Has anyone else faced this issue, and if so, what was the solution/outcome?
Colin

@Rob: Perhaps I should have given some background for what I was trying to do.
I have a client who is importing dozens of pages of simple chemical equations from microsoft word and it is in the word file that the baseline shift method of creating subs/supers was done. What my client wanted to do was import the text without losing important appearance details such as this, and bolds/italics, but then be able to assign his own paragraph styles without faux sub/supers returning to a regular style. My procedure to the client was to:
Import said word file into indesign file that contains appropriate paragraph/character styles to be applied;
Run the default "findchangebylist.jsx" to remove any double spaces, tabs etc.
Run a modification of Jongware's "preptext" script that will apply to all text frames rather than the current text frame.
This was working well until we both noticed H2SO4 did not have the numbers as subs, even though the word file clearly did. Closer inspection on the word file showed that the subscript button was not toggled, but the baseline shift had been, hence why the preptext script had missed a key piece of formatting.
With the preptext script, items that had subscript and superscript locally applied to the text would now be assigned "Sub" and "Super" character styles, and from there I agree - the more discerning typesetter could to into the character style and make the apperance of the said subs/supers more appealing. I believe a way of using the opentype subs/supers would be to replace the words SUBSCRIPT and SUPERSCRIPT in the said script to be OT_SUBSCRIPT or OT_SUPERSCRIPT respectively, provided an opentype font was being used for the formatting.
So in this instance, this script serves a rather specific purpose of fixing this particular document, rather than being applicable on a wider scale.
It is also important for anyone working with epubs to note that subs/supers made with baseline shifts (whether applied as character styles or not) will not appear in the resulting epub. Subs/supers made with the subscript/superscript buttons (again, whether applied as a character style or not) will appear in a resulting epub, so this is another consideration (I don't know if this is true if a customised CSS has been applied, but for straight export to epub from InDesign, it appears to be the case). This can be said for other forms of faux styles, such as skewing type to make a faux italic.
@Peter: I agree, there isn't a perfect solution, but for the situation that I have, the script does what it is intended to do.
It should be noted for readers of this post that this script is specifically purpose-driven, and that I would not use this script if a document contained:
fractions made using baseline shifts;
character or paragraph formatting that used baseline shifts;

Using Mathematical Equations in Motion

Is there an easy way to create and use mathematical equations in Motion? It takes ages to format an equation if you need powers (i.e. superscript) or divisions using Motion's text tool.
Copying equations in PDF or Tiff format from Grapher is no good. They don't paste directly into Motion (which is extremely annoying), and if you save them using Preview, they pixelate very quickly (though you can change the font size for the equations in Grapher, but this takes a long time too).
Can anyone recommend a solution?

Sorry, I misunderstood you.
There is a solution:
1. Select your equation
2. Right click -> Copy As -> EPS
3. Paste into TextEdit
4. Repeat steps 1-3 to get as many equations as you want in TextEdit
5. Save your TextEdit document as rtfd
6. Right click on rtfd file -> Show Package Contents
7. Copy all the EPS files from it to your project folder and import to Motion.
Good luck!

Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text field in Flash

Yes, & tags are not supported by
Flash but you can
use Subscript & Superscript in dynamic and input text
field in Flash:
Download & install Subscript & Superscript fonts
from
http://www.subscriptfont.com
or
http://www.superscriptfont.com
You will need to restart Flash software after installed
fonts.
Create a dynamic text field with Arial font embeded. Set the
HTML property to true.
Create a dynamic text field with Subscript font embeded.
Create a dynamic text field with Superscript font embeded.
Use HTML tag to set text to subscript or superscript like
below:
Some text©
If you are using ActionScript to test the htmlText, use
script like below:
my_txt.htmlText = "Some textTM";
They are better than CG since it goes lower than the baseline
and it's real subscript..

Hi Nirnalatha,
I have newly joined this forum and while going through the
posts I came across your post which I thought I could help out. But
I think I am too late for the reply.
I am also into Flashlite development couple of months from
now. Coming to your questions:
1. Textbox problem: I am surprised to know that E70 mobiles
(Device central list has E70-1 only) does not show input text box
when cursor is in input box. Anyways its a good thing that you dont
get an additonal input box. Like all J2ME applications you will be
able to type the text inline. Infact we had reverse problem where I
was told to create inline edit input box instead of flashlite input
box. I think this is the mobile setting. Check the device features
in the Adobe Device Central under Flash - Standalone player - Text
and Fonts features. It will be mentioned whether inline text is
allowed or not.
2. Soft keys issues: You need to use
fscommand2("SetSoftKeys", "Previous", "Next");
and use a key listener in order to override the Mobile
Softkey commands. Check out the flashlite help which clearly
explains this.
Hope I have given youa way to solve ur problem.

HOW TEXT CAN BE MADE SUBSCRIPTED IN XML DOCUMENT?

SIR,
I WANT TO DISPLAY MATHEMATICAL FORMULAS,WHICH INCLUDE MATHAMATICAL NOTATIONS LIKE "SIGMA" "DELTA" AND SO ON, AND ALSO SYMBOLS WITH SUBSCRIPTED TEXTS OR LETTERS,IN XML DOCUMENT.
MY PROBLEM IS HOW CAN WE RENDER SUBSCRIPTED TEXTS IN XML DOCUMENT.
FOR Eg.CONSIDER THE FORMULA SHOWN BELOW,IN HTML FORMAT.
ÓAli * Bli / Cli
PLEASE,TELL HOW THIS CAN BE REPRESENTED IN XML DOCUMENT.
AND ALSO TELL ME HOW CAN A HORIZONTAL RULE BE DRAWN IN XML DOCUMENT
THANK YOU.

Ouch. Would you please not type in all capitals. It's hard to read.
Anyway the question doesn't make sense. XML is just a format for storing and transmitting data. XML doesn't have the concepts of subscripting and drawing horizontal rules. Perhaps you were thinking of HTML?

I think you might be able to use formulas to achieve what you are looking for. I found this kbase <a href="http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2010059&sliceId=&dialogID=1988273&stateId=1 0 1986304" target="_blank">c2010059</a>, on the BOBJ support site that provides a series of steps to create formulas to achieve superscript text. The kbase uses dates as an example but you should be able to do the same for your needs. The similar should be possible for subscript text. Hopefully this helps you out! -MJ

How to: Mathematical Equations in Illustrator CS3 +

One feature that doesn't exist in Illustrator (or I haven't find it yet!), is a way to add Mathematical equations into illustrations. Having search the internet there are a few plugins that allow that to some extend. Personally I found one another way to do it, combining Illustrator, Photoshop, (Acrobat - not necessarily) and the Free OpenOffice Math tool.
If you are interested, or if you ever need this, you can refer to this guide:
http://xvp.gr/tutorials/illustrator_math_eqs/
The basic idea is to export in vector-PDF file, the math equations that you have develop with any program (i.e. MSOffice, or OpenOffice(which I prefer)). Then you can raster the equation in high resolution through photoshop (from the vector-PDF file), and trace it to perfect outlines via illustrator.
Btw. OpenOffice Math tool, is an open source tool, that Adobe can utilize thus to make automatical this procedure in it's next suite. Simple and easy without having to mess with complicated implementations... :)

I use MathType to make equations for years.
And it works fine with all Adobe (and NOT only Adobe!) software.

How to add mathematical equations?

I would like to place some mathematical equations (created using a LaTeX system) on a Photoshop page as a vector object. How can this be done?

But my question was actually not about an equation editor. I use LaTeX based software to create and edit my mathematical equations. I do not need an equation editor.
I did find out that if I used the copy-and-paste capability of Windows (Vista 32-bit) for copying equations (displayed on the screen) that InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator all failed (incorrect results) and the pasted results obtained were all different. This means that these package are inconsistent in how they handle information stored in the clipboard.
I did find another way to copy-and-paste mathematical material which is as follows:
1) Create a PDF document that contains the mathematical material that I wish to put into these packages.
2) Copy-and-paste from the PDF document to these packages.
This works on my system!

Bonjour VAGRAI
1) To write math expressions in a text :
     — Microsoft Office 2011 etc. for Mac use its included Equation Editor.
     — OpenOffice.org (OOo) and NeoOffice : download free Dmath 3.3.
     — iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), download free MathType 6.7, fully functional for 30 days, then becomes « Lite » for life as good as the Microsoft equation editor ; it’s better than using Grapher’s equation editor (Applications > Utilities) because MathType can be called from Pages and allows editing equations by clicking the math expressions your text (details on MathType website) .
     — Graph.app 2.3 in Mountain Lion is built to draw curves and surfaces from equations, so it uses an equation editor less powerful than mathType, but it’s easier typing expressions. You may get 2D 3D geometrical drawings from clever equations. Suggest a glance at   http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/ to know all about Grapher (83 pages Instructions for Use - Grapher) and some examples
2) Geometrical schema :
     — GeoGebra is very popular and used by math teachers.
     — Google SketchUp 8 was not built for mathematics but for architecture, but it’s very easy using it to draw 2D 3D surfaces and solid figures.
     — ShapeOnYou.app allows simples geometrical figures http://pierre.chachatelier.fr/programmation/shapeonyou_en.php
3) Some useful websites for screen shots of geometrical schema :
     http://www.mathcurve.com/
     http://perso.orange.fr/roger.assouly/
Drawings files PDF, TIFF, JPG … can be inserted in an iWork window (Pages).
I hate LaTex : not necessary to write math books !
Au revoir VAGRAI,
YB24
Attachment : lines and curves were made with Google SketchUp 8, screen copied (Command-Shift-4), inserted on a Pages sheet to add letters figures rectangles title.
SketchUp allows drawing precisely an arc of circle 325 mm radius 22,5° angle for instance.

Mathematical equation

hello
i have a question where it's quite hard for me to write. so, i will try to explain it as following:
     content_array[0] = '+';
        content_array[1] = '/';
     var ans1=8+content_array[0]+4+content_array[1]+2;
        trace(ans1);
i'm expecting the result of the trance is 10
but what appear is "8+4/2"
the other situation is:
i have a text box in my flash on the scene. let say here is the code:
math_equation.text = "4+3/4*10-6";
and i have a button where when i click, the button should "solved" the equation.
how could i "force" the code so that it execute the math operation in both cases?

Flash/Actionscript cannot process mathematical equation strings the way you think it will (I doubt any language can). You need to do a lot more than just hand it a string and expect it to process it as an equation. You essentially need to build the intelligence into a program to have it break down a string into a hierarchically correct series of mathematical processes.
You need to create the code to be able to detect that mathematical symbols present in the string and then gradually break down the elements and perform the mathematics. For instance, let's say you simply feed it a string of 3+2. You need to write a function that looks at that string and recognizes that there is a + sign in it. It then has to isolate the two numeric values that surround the + operator. You need to create a function that performs the mathematical operation for adding the two numbers and returning a value.
If you look at the link below you'll see the code for someone else's attempt at this type of thing. It doesn't work properly, which you can see by testing your equation in it, but it will give you an idea of what you have to create...

Macbook pro(2008 later) can not recognise external monitor(NEC UXI2090) with mini-DP to DVI adapter with 9600GT

I bought mini-DP to DVI frome Apple several monthes ago and it worked well in that time until yesterday the external monitor show me no signal sign. Other PCs were connected with the same cable and monitor and they are fine. I am wondering there is something wrong in the adaptor or macbook pro. Furthermore I found the external monitor can display nornally when I switched to 9400 graphic card and used mini-DP to VGA adapter. If I switch to 9600GT no signal again. If I switch 9400 using mini-DVI, it is shown on the external screening: Out of range... In a word, In the mode of 9600GT, mac can not recognise external monitor(I can not detect it in the systerm preference even I press detect display buttun) and 9400 works in VGA mode. However when I connect adapter to mac, the screen showed blue flash.
I reseted SMC, no use; I created a new account or enter mac to safe mode, no use; so far I did not reseted PRAM beacuse of something wrong of my system. I am downlaoding Mountain Lion OS and will install it. Then I will reset PRAM and try again.
I do not know whether I shoud change the adapter or the single-link DVI cable to dual-link. Someone said it is useful in their condition. I tried some methods from BBS, such as connected when devices were off and then open, and so on. I failed.
Any suggestion for this problem?
Addition: OS: 10.7.4(Lion)

I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure. Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous). However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
Hope that htis helps.
