Changing Frame Text

This should be simple, but the way I thought to do it isnt working so...
I have a simple jsp website where each page has 3 frames. There is a side navigation frame, a top header frame, and a main window frame. What I was hoping to do was whenever the main frame changes, I would like to display different text in the header frame, sort of like a brief description of the page they are at. I tried a couple of things that didn't work. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I think you would have to access the parent frame through Javascript not Java. Look into parent window objects.

When reflow text; How to change paragraph automatically when changing frame

Hi
Im new to indesign scripts, but thought that this maybe was the right forum to ask the following question. (Im using Adobe Indesign CS.5 )
Im currently trying to import a file (word file / excel both is possible) into an indesign book and formatting the text automatically!
My question is: How is it possible to reflow text into frames and when changing frame it changes paragraph?
I have already figured out how to reflow the text, and actually also managed to relow text into the frames and change paragraph style. I know how to use the keep option, and by this change the paragraph style when e.g. changing frame break/page break etc. (but if the content being flowed-in is not tagged with style names then I cannot figure out how to do it)
The document and its content I whish to import do not have any tagged paragraphs!
If any of you have a hint, I would be more than happy to hear from you

My question is: How is it possible to reflow text into frames and when changing frame it changes paragraph?
This question is not gramatically correct and I cannot understand what you are trying to ask.

Automatic change of text size and shape in pages from master

Hi,
I'm new to Indesign and I'm trying to write a long book which is more like a catalog. I've created a book file (.indb) in which various files (.indd) are inserted.
Each of these files will represent a chapter. All chapters must have the same aspect and layout and I can use styles for text and paragraphs. But I would like also
to control the position of text frames and pictures automatically from one master.
Is that possible? For now each time I create a text frame in the master, I can't change the text in the pages itselves. SoI've created an empty frame text, but then I can't
add text in the page. How can I do that without changing each chapter one by one?
Thanks for help.
Regards,
Romain

(FM8p277) Crashes when saving first doc in book after changing conditional text display

That was a mouthful :-)
Okay, this happens with any of the books that I work on --- it never happened with Frame 7.
I have a book containing several documents.
The documents contain several conditional text segments.
Start new Framemaker session, open book, open all documents.
Change conditional text display (from Show All to Show Selected, or vice-versa).
From the book, choose Save All (or from the *first* document, choose Save). The following text appears in a 'FrameMaker dialog': "File <filename of first document>.fm has changed on the disk since you last opened or saved it. Someone else has probably modified the file. Do you want to save it anyway?
Click OK. All of the files save properly. (If I had clicked Cancel, the first file would be skipped and all other files would save.)
Change conditional text display again (note: this could even be for a different book at this point, I believe, but will have to verify).
(Repeat step 3): The same text appears again in the dialog.
Click OK. FrameMaker crashes while trying to save the first file. (If I had clicked Cancel, the first file would be skipped and all other files would save. However, if I attempt to save the first file afterward, FrameMaker still crashes.)
Anybody have any insight into this? Am I the only one this happens to? Argh :-)
Thanks.

Sorry, the only answers I got were on the forum and nothing worked
That being said, at least now I know I'm not crazy! (Sorry it had to
happen to you, though.)
As it stands, I've been training myself to make sure that after the
first time I toggle the settings, I do the save, and then make sure to
save all, quit, and restart FrameMaker before I attempt another toggle.
On the odd occasion that I don't do that and get the warning message, I
select Cancel (which lets the rest of the files save), quit, restart,
and then make sure I update the first document appropriately.
All the while cursing and swearing, of course
As an aside... if you find a solution, please let me know about it if
you remember.
Thanks.

Using cue points to change a text box

Ok I asked a simlar question before but I am still having trouble getting it to work.
I have a video with 11 Cue points and at each cuepint I want the Typebox to change it text at each cue point.
When the video is playing I want a the textbox to change the text when cue point 1 is reached. This is the code I am using. But every always goes straight to the whatever the last functions text and skips all the other before it. Its bassically this code repeated with difffernt function name and string.
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
flvplayer.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT,section2Cue);
function section2Cue(event:MetadataEvent):void{
    for(var String = "section2" in event.info){
        typebox.text = "Hello";                        }
So basically I want to tell flash, when CuePoint1 is reached text = "hello world" and when CuePoint2 is reached I want the text ="Hello Again". I don't know what I am doing wrong or what is the best way to tell flash how to do this

Ok, I tryed that code Basically I want to call upon each cue point individually and have an event for each one. So how i tell it to display this only when Cuepoint1 is reach and display that only when Cuepoint2 is reached. What data would help ?
Most of my code is just buttons to reach each cuepoint within the video. I got that to work fine.
I'll supply it anyways

As for data? This is all I know about my CuePoints
Would the best way to acheive changing type is to change the way my movie clips are set up? Instead of telling it within the actionscript maybe telling it to go to next frame within a movieclip with the content? I don't know exactly how to word what I am trying to acheive but I'm trying!
thanks!

Duplicating movieclips w/textfields on them & changing the text

Okay, there is a movie clip in the library. Has three layers. Each of the layers is also in the library. Layer 1 has a button symbol, layer 2 a text symbol with instance name 'item_label', layer 3 is color. instance name is 'flbutton'. To me, it looks like this was created into a symbol itself and given intance name of 'menu_item'.
An array is created with button label names. A loop is created based on the number of labels in the array. An instance of 'menu_item' is created each loop and placed on the stage/screen and the text on the button is changed to the item in the array.
My question....how do you do that in AS3?
var menu_label:Array = new Array("Introduction", "Templates", "Services", "Clients",
         "Testimonials", "Support", "About Us", "Contact");
// *** menu label array length must be equal to number of
// *** total frames inside "menu button bg" Movie Clip in the library.
var total:Number = menu_label.length;
var tween_duration:Number = .85;// in seconds
var radius:Number = 185;
var angle:Number;
var i:Number = 0;
function create_menu():Void
angle = (i - 2) * Math.PI * 2 / total;
position_x = Math.cos(angle) * radius;
position_y = Math.sin(angle) * radius;
var fm = menu_item_group.menu_item.duplicateMovieClip("menu_item" + i, i);//** menu_item_group is instance name already on the
                                                                                                                  //** stage and is instance of symbol in library that has
                                                                                                                  //**instance name of menu_item
fm.stop();
fm.bg.gotoAndStop(i + 1);
fm.over = true;
fm.item_label = menu_label[i];   //** here is where the text of each newly created MovieClip's text is changed
fm.item_no = i;
more code.........
loop
Can someone tell me how to do this in AS3? I have learned how to duplicate a movieclip with DisplayObjects, but I have no way of knowing how to get to the text field in order to change it.
Regards,
Kevin
ps. new to Flash. Decent amount of VB programming experience.

You are correct about the instance names etc... my apologies... I did not save my work and lost what I was doing. My Dev enviroment is a personal laptop with Flash. The company has yet to purchase Flash. My laptop did an auto Windows update. I lost my testing .fla.
You were right about the instance name. It was missing from my previous example. That has been correct. I now get no errors, but setting the autoSize property did not work.
I'm creating two MovieClips. One is the MovieClip of the actual TextField and the other is of a MovieClip with the TextField on it.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
When I create the MovieClip of the TextField directly:
var mcTxt:MovieClip=new clsText();   //pardon me, but I just had to use some VB naming conventions to help myself out.
addChild(mcTxt);
mcTxt.item_Label.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mcTxt.item_Label.text="Hello Willeeerrrrr";
When I add the field without changing the text, the text field defaults to "Hello World". When I attempt a change as in the code above, the text field looks as follows: Hello Willeee. If I add a fourth 'e', .text="Hello Willeeeerrrr", it will add it to the text field the next time I test. The final 'rrrrr's' get truncated. Wierd.
Now, when I do the above on the MovieClip with the child text field, the text just disappears.
var mc:MovieClip=new clsMenuItem();//MovieClip with the embedded/child textfield
addChild(mc);
mc.mcMenuItem.item_Label.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mc.mcMenuItem.item_Label.text="Hello Willred";
The above code causes the text to display blank.
I'm close and hope it's just a property setting...ideas?

Unable to change the text of a JLabel

hi!
i have created a JLabel and add it to my frame. Now, when the user clicks the button on the frame, i changed the test of the label and after that some really heavy processing takes place. and till that processing completes, the changed text does not get display. is it because that the repaint has very low priority? my requirement is that the text shuld get updated immediately.
Any ideas?
regards
Deepak Saini

I usually suggest to use:
component.paintImmediately(component.getVisibleRect());
Wondering what the difference between 'paintImmediately()' and 'update()' was, I created a simple test program. The program simply changed the text in a JTextField 1000 times.
Here is what I found:
1) paintImmediately was 10-20% faster
2) paintImmediately produced no flicker
I changed my program to use a JLabel instead of a JTextField and found:
1) update() did not work
Here is my sample program in case you are interested.

Create a duplicate of a button and change the text on THAT button only

something is frustrating me w/Flash. Not sure if there is a workaround within Flash itself or not. I have a group of buttons with fancy backgrounds and text. They may have originally been imported from Ilustrator, but are now MC's. I tried to select one in the library, right click (on PC) and duplicate. This does create a new instance. I give the new instance a different name and drag onto the stage. When I change the test though it changes the text ALSO on the button which I duplicated from. Don't want this. Each button needs to have it's own unique text. Is there a way to accomplish this in Flash? I know one alternative is to try and find the Illustrator template and create a new one, but I would rather not do this if possible.
TIA

This could be happening for a couple of reasons. The good news is its easily fixable, and you have options.
Option 1.
From your explanation of the problem I am assuming you are using static text inside your MCs.
First, find out what's really happening with your two mcs.
make sure you aren't using 2 of the same clip (either the original or the duplicate).Not the instance names, but the actual names of the clip as found in the Library.
If they are different, i.e. "myclip" and "copy of myClip", then odds are there is another mc that holds your text inside them. So, go into either one of your movie clips and check for nested movie clips inside them. If there are nested clips, you need to duplicate each of those clips as well otherwise you will continue to have the text change in both.
Option 2.
if you are ok with a little bit of scripting, you can just go inside your mc and make your text fields "dynamic" and give it an instance name.
then open up the actions panel, create new layer, and add the following frame script:
//insert your instance names where necessary
myMC.pathToMyTextField.myTextField.text = "the text for this button";
do this for each button and it should fix your issue.
hope this helps.

Change Title Text

I was hoping someone would know a way that I could change the text in the title of the window my program runs in.
Currently in the contstructor I use:
public MyProg() throws IOException
super("This Program");
}That sets the window title to "This Program"
I would like to change "This Program" on the fly to say somthing else based on what the user does. How can i do this?? Thanks!

If you use a Frame, which is a subclass of Window, you can use setTitle(String)

How to change the text in the legend of a graph programmatically in labview

I have many graphs in one plot and want to show the legend the name of the graph (i.e. the filename). How do I change the text in the legend programmatically?

Create a property node for your graph. Use the property node "Active Plot" to define which plot (or line) you want to rename. Then write the new legend label to the property node "Plot.Name". See attached.

How do I change the text on a label for a SAP delivered WD view

Hi,
I need to change the text that is being displayed for a label in a SAP delivered WD ABAP View. When I look at the properties for this label, the Text property is currently empty, so I assume that the text that is being displayed in the view is coming from the dictionary. I was hoping to change the text of the label via the Enhancement Framework. I created an OTR entry, then went into SE80 for the WD Component, I navigated to the view in question, I pressed the Enhance button and entered $OTR:<package>/<alias name> in the text property for the label. Finally I saved and activated and was prompted to create an Enhancement Implementation, which I did and I selected it. Everything seems to be fine (no errors or warnings). I then ran the WD application. My change was not there. I then went back into SE80 for the WD Component that I created the enhancement. I navigated to the View and looked in the text property of the label and saw that my change was not there. I repeated this process several times and each time when I added the OTR entry to the text property of the label, it saves and activates without issue (in enhancement mode), but when I run the WD App the change does not show up and when I go back to the WD View, my change to the text property is gone. I know that if I really wanted to I could register the object and add the OTR entry to the text attribute of the label, but I am trying to perform this change using a modification free enhancement. Can this be done via an Enhancement, or do I have to register the object and make my change using a modification?

Hi Gregg,
excellent question. I had the same problem as well before.
What I have learned is that you cannot change a UI Element via Enhancements.
You can add new UI Elements (e.g. new label) or remove existing elements, but you cannot change them (except the layout properties (e.g. colspan) maybe).
The only possibilities I see is
1. Remove the existing label, and add a new label with your desired text
2. Do it as a modification
3. Do it as a configuration (This means you go to the webdynpro application in SE80, right click and select "Create/Change Configuration)
4. Do it as customizing (This means you add the URL parameter sap-config-mode=X to the URL, navigate to the label, right click on it, and select "Change Settings for Current Configuration").
The disadvatages of 3) and 4) are
- texts in configurations and customizing are not translatable (as far as I know)
- if you have multiple configurations, you have to change the label multiple times
Hope this helps a bit,
Daniel

How do I change the text color of footers on select pages? (InDesign CS6)

Good afternoon,
Months ago, I worked with a graphic designer to put together a 100-page workbook for my training company. He turned all of the files over to me and I'd like to make a small change before we print another run for a new client. Specifically, I'm having trouble changing the text color on select pages. Since a picture says 1,000 words, let me give you an example:
As you can see, the copyright information on the right side of the page is difficult to read here when placed over the photo (you may have to look closely, but it's along the guy's sleeve). What I'd love to do is change that part of the footer (not the left, page number side) to white text. This would make it quite a bit easier to read. There's a number of other pages in the book that I want to make this change to. I'm not sure why I never noticed it or mentioned it to the designer. I suppose I've become more discerning since then.
Let me tell you what I've tried to do:
I learned how to override master pages by CTRL+SHIFT clicking on the footer. However, this has not worked for me. It allows me to change the page number part, but not the copyright side. Additionally, sometimes when I override the master the formatting of the footer goes goofy. For instance, the left side and right side come together and end up in the middle of the page I'm working on.
I'm looking for a quick way to go through and make the footers easier to read on pages where they are backed by a photo. Hoping you can help me. Please let me know if you need any other information.
Best,
Taylor

I think you should have left it as it was. It seems like what you had was single pages flowing as spreads within InDesign. Like below. That is the correct way, and when you changed it to all single, it did create your footer problems.
Will you be sending the file as a PDF to your online printer? If so, then leaving the InDesign file set as below is fine. The PDF output will separate the pages.
All you have to do is make sure that Pages, not Spreads, is chosen when you output the PDF

Unable to change group text name or add person to some group texts in iOS 8

I really like the ability to change group text names as it helps me separate work group texts from personal especially when I have coworkers that have separate business phones. I'm unable to change the name of some group texts as the option is not there when I go into details. I'm also unable to add contact to the same group texts that I'm unable to change the name on. Is this a glitch or am I missing something?

Hi CaliWingsFan,
If you are having issues with renaming and adding users to group texts, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Change my text tone for a palm treo pro

Is there a way to change the texting rington on the Palm Treo Pro to something other than the few items they allow you to choose from.
I want to set Alarm4 as my text alert and it only gives me a few. Alarm4 is allowed in a few other notification options, but not on the text message one. Can I move a default alarm for one time to another item?

I have the 800w, but it's the same version of Windows Mobile, so I think the following might apply to your phone, too.
Alarm4 is a .wma-format file, while the old-style alerts are MIDI format file. I don't know why, but some of the notification drop-downs list both, and some list just MIDI files. But they all list some ring tones that I downloaded from Microsoft. Hmmm...
In File Explorer, my downloaded ring tones are in My Device\Application Data\Sounds. So if you were able to copy Alarm4 into that folder, you might be able to assign it to any notification.
I can't see any way to copy files in File Explorer. You might need to do it through ActiveSync or a third party file manager.
If you experiment with this, let us know how it goes.

I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on. If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct. If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
Hope this helps!
