Change text problem CS3

I am having problems with i2of5 barcode where some of the encoded values for the barcode are the same as InDesign values.
e.g. find text "barcode" change text "ËU(K\tÌ"
inDesign recognizes the \t for a tab. Is it possible to turn off these keywords or variables so InDesign will not replace the string with a tab or whatever the variable stands for?

Not true.
You are working in a script language. That translates "\t" to a tab while the script is being parsed, and (apparently) the tab survives the translation into the 'real' application call to search.
Next level is escaping the tab: "\\t". Now the codes get translated (by the parser) into "\t", which is, ta-da, a tab
i for the application search string.
So, you have to escape the escaped escape (?), leading to the somewhat bewildering "\\\\t". Double backslashes are translated into single ones ("\\t") which is passed over to the search inside InDesign, which translates it into "\t", which is what you asked.
The "^" is slightly easier, as it (probably!) is not 'pre-parsed' by your script, just by the InDesign Search engine. As in InDesign itself, to search for a single "^", enter two.
By the way ... there is no single search string in which both "\t"
i and
"^p" are translated into a tab and paragraph return. The former is a GREP search expression, the latter a native InDesign Text search one.

How do I change text size in a check box in CS3

How do I change text size in a check box in CS3?

While I've never done it myself for a checkbox, components
have a textField property which is essentially the texfield inside
the component. You probably need to apply a TextFormat to it to
change the size.
But if this involves the same problem you had yesterday,
where you couldn't change the width of the checkbox, I doubt you'll
have much luck changing the text size

Lines around type and other type/text problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Dear Dreamweaver forum:
Good news/bad news,
First the good news…
My thanks to a forum member by the name of Mylenium. With Mylenium's advice I have improved my halo problem by including a black background when I save type in Illustrator CS3 as part of importing it into Dreamweaver CS3.
However, the bad news, is that I’m still having type and text problems.
Problem area 1
Now, in Dreamweaver, I’m getting lines appearing around the type.
I am dragging and dropping the .gif type file into a Dreamweaver Div Tag.
How do I get rid of the lines around the type so that they do not show up in the Safari browser?
(Please see below)
Problem area 2
I cannot drag and drop text from a Word .doc file into a Dreamweaver div tag.
I also cannot copy and paste Word .doc text into a div tag.
How do I include text on my webpage without having to manually type it in?
(Please see below)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
From within Dreamweaver CS3, how do I place text? Dragging and droppign the file does not work.
This is screenshot of what I see so far when I use Safari to test what I have made so far in Dreamweaver CS3.
I get lines around type.........not usually a good thing.........How do I fix it?
The way I created the portfolio type in IllustratorCS3 using the File > Save for Web and Devices. I then imported the resulting .gif file so that it was within my root folder within the Files panel within Dreamweaver CS3.
Am I doing this right?

Hi
The problems you are experiencing with the image text, (why are you using image text, these days?) is probably cause by the image having a border when created in illustrator, or the image size being set incorrectly.
As for the word text if you are using windows, see http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ce6.html.
On the mac it is a little more complex, save your word doc as html, then apply the 'clean up word html files', (see - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ef5.html) copy the relevant text and mark-up from the word html file, and paste into your html document in the required position.

Can't change text once I've finalized it!

I've been using Photoshop for years, so I know all the basics. And I've never run into this before. I created a document with text boxes and images. Everything was fine to that point. But when I went back to re-word the text boxes and change text color, I could not do it. I tried everything: be sure that layer is selected, be sure I have the type tool enabled, and click somewhere in the existing text.
Nothing doing. No matter what I did, it insisted on starting a new text layer. I could not access the text itself to change it.
I could transform it or move it but it will not let me change the text itself or the text color.
I'm using the PS cloud version and running Windows 7.
I ran into this a few weeks ago, and rebooting my computer solved the problem -- or so I thought. Apparently it didn't solve it permanently.
Help, please! This was due yesterday and my client is understandably not amused.
Thanks.

Now I can change text in any text box except the one titled "spinetext", which is highlighted in the layers panel. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I've designed a lot of these covers, and never had trouble changing the spine text before.
I finally had to recreate that layer in a new document and import it into this one -- but the text remains unchangeable in this layer.
(For what it's worth, "Layer 1" is the template, which I turn off when I have inserted all the elements, so it has nothing to do with this layer.)
Thanks for your help!

How do I change text within a paragraph in VB-script?

I am having some problems with changing the text inside a paragraph without affecting the styling of other paragraphs. It may be that I am using a wrong approach to changing existing text, I don't really know.
As an example, I have the following two paragraphs inside a table cell:
12
35
These two paragraphs have different paragraph styles applied to them.
If I now change the contents of the first paragraph to a 1 digit number, the style of the second paragraph changes to the same style as the first one.
Paragraph1.Contents = "4" & Chr(13)
The text is correct after the change, but the styling on the second paragraph is wrong:
4
35
I have also tried using Paragraph.Lines(1).Contents and Paragraph.Texts(1).Contents, but the result is the same.
Is there any way of changing text inside a paragraph, which ensures that noting other than that text is affected?

Hi Frank,
The problem is occurring because you're effectively removing the paragraph end by replacing the entire contents of the paragreaph. You want to use the Characters collection and the ItemByRange method so that you can leave the paragraph end untouched.
I'm pretty sure it would look something like this though I haven't tested this:
Set SChar = Paragraph1.Characters(1)
Set EChar = Paragraph1.Characters(-2) 'giving you the 2nd to last character.
Set TxtToDel = Paragraph1.Characters.ItemByRange(SChar, EChar).
TxtToDel.Delete
Then you can set Paragraph1.InsertionPoints(1).Contents to the new text.
If the ItemByRange doesn't work you can always loop through the character collectoin and delete all but the last characters in the paragraph.
Good luck!

Changing Text in a single textbox

I'm trying to change text on the screen as I go through
frames by simply fading out the old text and fading in the new
text. The problem is that whenever I change the text in a keyframe
it changes to that text in the rest of the keyframes. Is there any
way around this without having to create multiple text
boxes?

its ok, found the answer.
simply place an id in the option tag and refer to the innerText.
ie
<select name="companyMenu" size="1" onchange=whatever(this.form);>
<option id="commonText" value="">Want to change this text</option>
and for the function
function whatever(f) {
commonText.innerText = "happy";
which replaces "Want to change this text" with "happy"
cheers

Documaker : how to change text by count during overflow

Hi Experts,
Please help me...
I want to change a text in a section by overflow count.
Summary that I have set are as follows.
1. FormA (contains Subform1)
2. Subform1 (contains Subform2)
3. Subform2
Subform1 on FormA is setting the overflow with the trigger by the XML.
Search Mask (counter) : !/xxx/data/Repeats/Repeat
Subform2 on Subform1 is setting that always repeat 3 times.
Reference :
Documaker : How to set the overflow repeated 3 times always.
I created DAL scripts as follows.
1) To setgvm CTR.
---> Section_HEADER on Subform1 has a field that setting this script.
2) To return GVM(CTR).
---> Section_TEXT on Subform2 has a field that setting this script.
3) To increment GVM(CTR) by 1.
---> Section_TEXT on Subform2 has a field that setting this script.
This counter has been running without any problems.
I tried to set as follows.
4) To change text by GVM(CTR)-1.
if havegvm('ctr',1)
varctr = gvm('ctr',1)
if varctr-1 = 1
return("A")
else if varctr-1 = 2
return("B")
else
return("C")
end
else
return("")
end
---> I placed a field (call this "OUTPUT_TEXT") that is set this script in Section_TEXT on Subform2.
This setting is working.
BUT, I want to output the Double-byte characters at OUTPUT_TEXT field.
I can not input the Double-byte characters in DAL Script. (If I input, DMStudio was shut down...)
By placing 3 text areas in Section_TEXT, I thought of setting the trigger switch by count of overflow, but I could not set.
By count of overflow, is there any other ways to solve this problem?
Thanks,

Sorry, I resolved this...
I created 3 triggers and set it for 3 text area.
A trigger is as follows for *1* text area.
if havegvm('ctr',1)
varctr = gvm('ctr',1)
if varctr = *1*
return(1)
end
else
return(1)
end
return(0)
And, I moved the increasing count field to most right position in Section_TEXT.
+3) To increment GVM(CTR) by 1.+
---> Section_TEXT on Subform2 has a field that setting this script.
It is able to switch text areas by count.
Thanks,

Can't select buttons to change text

I set up chapters in I-Movie and exported the project to I-DVD.
When I go to a chapter screen it will highlight the lower right button and allow me to change its text, button shape etc., but I cannot access the other buttons to change text.
I tried changing the mouse click speed as instructed, no luck.
I tried changing the the chapter titles in I-Movie but that only posted the top text line.
Any ideas as to why I can't select these chapter buttons to change text?

This is what I had to do to change text on buttons.
I could only change the text on the lower right chapter button.
Then moved the button up, left, whichever, to cause a new button to fall into the "prized" lower right spot. I could then change the text on that button. So on and so forth.
The major problem is that the buttons, now with the correct text, are all out of order. It now became some kind of torture to find the right combo of moves to get the buttons back in the same order. I'd advise saving backup if you decide it's not worth the work.
For transitions I used the "select all button" option in "Edit" to avoid the torture test.
Once this project is done I'm reloading IDVD but maybe this will help somebody in the meantime.
Good luck

Has Actionscript 3 changed since Flash CS3?

maybe it is a strange question?
I find that sometimes opening a Flash CS3 or Flash CS4 file in Flash CS5 causes the scripts to either fail or I get some strange results.
I do not have specific examples to mention as it does happen on occasions.
At the moment, I am doing a project for a University.
They only run Flash CS3 Flash Player 9, which already leads to issues.
I use Flash CS5 currently.
The first time I sent in a draft example, they could not open the file and also they could not play the SWF file, as they only run Flash Player 9. They will not update the Flash Player to 10 as it will affect other ongoing projects in the University.
I only purchase Master Suites, so I had to reinstall Flash CS4 from the CS4 Master Suite and also Flash CS3 from the Web Premium Suite.
The Flash CS5 file had to be saved out as Flash CS4. I then had to open the Flash CS4 file and save it for Flash CS3.
I found on occasions that opening the file in Flash CS3 cause some placement issues of Text and soemtimes, but not always some Actionscript 3 code would cause some errors.
Has Flash CS5.5 rectified this and added the option to save to Flash CS3 perhaps, this would solve alot of issues.
Has Actionscript 3 changed since Flash CS3?

Actionscript 3 has changed since CS3, though what existed in CS3 has not changed. Newer versions have newer features, so new code was created to support those features.

Acrobat XI Pro Mac: Changing Text Color moves Text within Paragraph

Dear Acrobat Experts!
I've been using Acrobat Pro for over a decade now (Win and Mac) - but Acrobat XI Pro Mac shows some behavior I cannot deal with:
When I'm changing text color of say a couple of words within a paragraph, usually the formatting changes and text is being moved/shifted. It looks like the text with altered color requires more space and consequently the following words are shifted which very often ruins the whole formatting. This makes Acrobat XI for me nearly unusable, I had never a behavior like this in former Acrobat versions (Win or Mac).
I cannot believe that this is "normal" - so what's the mistake I'm making? For illustration please see the two screenshots I included.
I'm looking forward to your helpful comments!
Oliver

Hi Sukrit!
Thanks for your assistance.
This is the first and only Acrobat version ever I had this problem with. I am running Acrobat Version 11.0.10 under Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite on a MacBook Pro 15" Retina display. I am working on Mac only since Acrobat Pro 7 - the versions before were Windows.
So I cannot comment on Acrobat XI Pro Win.
This is happening with all of my PDF docs - regardless of origin (textbook, scientific journal, or PDFs I generated by myself as export from office applications etc.).
The only difference is the amount of changes to the formatting (shifting of text).
To illustrate my workflow I generated a screencast and uploaded it here:
<Dropbox - Acrobat_XI_Pro_Mac_3.mp4>
Looking forward to hear from you again!

How to listen and obtain caret positions of changed text in JTextPane?

Hi,
I have a JTextPane that displays text with some styles on particular words in the text. For example, I highlight words with red color if they are in my dictionary file. I use regular expression to find matches, replace them with their corresponded definitions, and call setCharacterAttributes to add styles to the definitions. I store all start and end caret positions of the matched words/definitions in a vector. So, I can redisplay styles of all previous matches.
The problem is that I'd like to be able to edit the text of some previous matches. So, with those changes all caret positions that I already store in the vector need to be updated.
How can I obtain caret positions of changed text in JTextPane?
How can I know that a user is currently changing text in the JTextPane?
How can I get style of text such as color that is being changed?
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, camickr, for your reply.
I think that I might not know the right way to handle JTextPane and Document object.
What I have done are:
- Add style to JTextPane using, for example,
Style targetCurrentMatchStyle = this.targetWindowTextPane.addStyle("Red", null);
StyleConstants.setForeground(targetCurrentMatchStyle, Color.red);//For highlight - Then, I use regular expression (Pattern and Matcher) to find a match in text. For each match, I get start and end position from matcher.start() and matcher.end().
if(matcher.find(start)){
String term=matcher.group();
int start=matcher.start();
int end = matcher.end();
//find definition for the matched term.
String definition=mydictionaryHash.get(term);
//Store caret positions in lists
startPositionList.add(start);
matchedLength=lengthList.add(definition.length());
//Add changed to text in textpane
StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
matcher.appendReplacement(sb, definition);
matcher.appendTail(sb);
//Get translated text from StringBuffer after replacement
String translatedText=sb.toString();
targetWindoTextPane.setText(translatedText);
//Update start position for next search
start=start+definition.length();
//Add style to matched regions below.
}- From the lists of start positions and matched lengths, I use the following code to add "Red" color to the matched text regions including all previously matched.
for(int i=0;i<startPositionList.size();i++){
this.targetWindowTextPane.getStyledDocument().setCharacterAttributes(
startPositionList.get(i),
lengthList.get(i),
this.targetWindowTextPane.getStyle("Red"),
true);
}My issue is that I'd like to be able edit previously matched regions and update all positions of the matched regions stored in the lists.

Changing text within frames without adding space at bottom

Anyone know if there's a method for changing text within frames so that the successive text automatically flows into position without creating blank space at bottom of that current or a subsequent frame?

Peter,
You can combine the discussions if you want. I actually deleted a sentence beginning the second discussion explaining that it was related to the first. I thought it might impede the discussion.
Let me describe my problem more completely. I'm adjusting a book that was carefully crafted using frames for each page so that the text extended to the bottom of each page (frame). This often splits text within a paragraph between two pages. This was done so that the customer doesn't feel they are purchasing any blank space and for the aesthetic purpose of filling each page with text. The only exception is the beginning of new chapters or sections.
The problem is that I want to change a word here and there in preexisting paragraphs. When I do, space often one-third the page length is generated at the bottom of a page (frame). To fill that space and extend text to the bottom of the page again requires -given my current understanding of options- selecting the paragraph (beginning on one page and completed on the second) that has become interrupted by the blank space and performing a "keep lines together" option. Unfortunately, this usually generates new blank space on a subsequent page, requiring a new "keep lines together"; in a seemingly unending regress of this procedure.
What I require is a method enabling me to add text within a paragraph that will avoid the generation of the blank space by flowing the subsequent text (composing one or more paragraphs and splitting a paragraph between pages if required) to the end of the page; completely filling the page without requiring any use of "keep options" or whatever.

Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is Playing

Change Text Color Dynamically Depending on Which MP3 File is
Playing
Hi,
Can anyone help with this problem.
I am trying to change a text cast member's color dynamically
based on which audio file is currently playing.
I have 4 Text Cast member buttons named
Play Song 1
Play Song 2
Play Song 3
Play Song 4
I am successfully playing the 4 songs in a queue like this
(ie. If "Play Song 1" sprite text member is pressed then...
sound(1).queue(member "Song1")
sound(1).queue(member "Song2")
sound(1).queue(member "Song3")
sound(1).queue(member "Song4")
sound(1).play
What I would like to do is to have the currently playing song
text color changed to a different value, say Green.
So if "Song2" in the queue starts to play then the text "Play
Song 2" would become Green. When done it would then turn back to
black then "Song3" starts to play and "Play Song 3" text script
button would then turn from black to Green an so on.
These are the codes I've tried in the frame script and none
seem to work...
on enterFrame me
if sound(1).status = 3 then member("Play Song 1").foreColor=5
(This works but only for the first song because "Play Song 1"
is directly named and clicked on.)
else member("Play Song 1").foreColor=255
end if
I have tried to make a reference to the playing song and so
far each of these doesn't work...
--if sound(1).status = 3 then
sprite(me.sound.member).foreColor=5
--if sound(1).status = 3 then
sprite(me.spriteNum).member.color=rgb(0,255,0)
--if sound(1).status = 3 then member
(sound(1).member).foreColor=5
--text = member(whichMember).scriptText
end
Is there any way to reference the song name text cast
member??
I thought I had it when I discovered sound(1).member but
sound(1).showProps returns the playing sound.member as
member: (member 28 of castLib 1) nothing there I can use?
It doesn't show the member name and
It doesn't show the song name "Song1" which I could then
match up to the "Play Song 1" text
I'm pretty new to lingo so specific code examples would be
appreciated.
Can anyone help??? Thanks!!!

did you get anywhere with this?
When applying a styleClass to a af:showDetailItem, it doesnt seem to have any effect whatsoever.
