Client input as Dynamic Text display?

I have a customer that wants to:
Type into a form
Have that text content saved to the server
Have that content displayed inside a specified page in a
defined area with CSS style applied to it to match the rest of the
page.
What is the best way to implement this? I have not done any
dynamic content, only simple pages. I'm looking only for a
direction to head to accomplish this.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You'd want to build a Content Management widget.
Typically that would consist of:
- back end web page with a javascript based WYSIWYG editor
(tinyMCE is
popular) for the client to enter the content.
- back end database to save the content entered
- front end web page that retrieves the data and renders it
to the browser.
To do all of this, you'd use some sort of back-end
programming language like
PHP or ASP.net or the like.
Alternatively, you could modify a pre-existing CMS to handle
this. WordPress
is perhaps the most popular one out there for entry-level CMS
needs.

Dynamic Text Display

I hav two dynamic text fields the give the apearance of
wrapping text around a photo. The text has been set tp load each
text field and appear to smoothly wrap and look like one continued
display. It work on the computer I am creating on...When loaded on
other computers either some of the content in the first field is
lost of the first field end sooner then is expected giving a choppy
look. I cannot use one field and set it up as html (That would be
to easy...clients never want easy).
Is there some way to assure that every computer displays the
text the same way???

Hi,
If you have the texts in different internal tables you can use the statement EDITOR-CALL, calling the text dynamically.
EDITOR-CALL FOR internal table TITLE 'title'.

How to display dynamic text in flash CS5....

i am using flash cs5...i created a game but when i m running it...it is showing a message saying "Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts""
and i am not getting my dynamic text output.......please hwlp me out!!!!!!

As the error message says, you need to embed the font(s) that you use in any input or dynamic text object so that Flash will have that font to use when displaying the dynamic text. There are several different ways to accomplish this. Are you using textField objects on the stage, or are you creating instances of textFields using Actionscript?

How to display Dynamic text after adding flash file to html

Displaying the result of a calculation in a dynamic text box

Hi folks,
I'm having a very minor issue here (operator error, I'm sure ). With the help of some folks here, I've created a series of calculations, and I've got that part down. Now, I just need it to show up in the movie.
I've created the dynamic text box in Flash (CS3), but when I hit test, it won't show up.
After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.
Here's my code:
stop();
var startDate:Date = new Date(2010,0,12); // use your startyear, startmonth, startdate in the new Date() parameters.
var currentDate:Date = new Date(); // assuming user's clock is correct and in your timezone. else use server date/time.
var numberOfSeconds:Number = (currentDate.getTime()-startDate.getTime())/1000;
var interest:Number = (numberOfSeconds*0.74356);
var totalmoney:Number = (interest+15,000,000);
function displaytotal(evt:TextEvent):void {
total.text = "totalmoney";
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Napo

You didn't have to bury any of the calculations in the function--leaving it as you had it is better. They could remain where they a=werew, and you'll probably find you want them outside it if you have other plans for using them. If left inside, they only have scope inside. In the programming world, it's good to think of functions as things that do one thing and one thing only (though it isn't often practiced that way)--it's called modular design.
When you place an event as an argument for a function, it typically means that there is an event listener that initiates the call to the function. If you work with buttons you'll see what I mean. But if the plan is to create your own call to a function when you desire it as such, not have it driven by an event listener, then you don't need to pass any event to it, though you may pass some other type of variable to it if need be.
For instance, what you have now will call the function without an argument because the function has the value built into its code....
displaytotal();
But you could also make the function a little more generic and set it up to recieve the value instead as an argument...
function displaytotal(amt:Number):void {
total.text = String(amt); // an earlier error of mine
displaytotal(totalmoney);
That would make your function a little more useful. Now it could be used to display other Number variables as well.
// my earlier error was that a textfield displays text, so you need to convert the Number value to s String.
Hope I'm not confusing you.

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!!

Adobe form -- Issue in Displaying Dynamic text along with Static text

Hi All,
I am having an issue when i am displaying a dynamic text along with static text in adobeforms.
The dynamic text is slightly coming down and not aligned with the static text. i can see half row it is coming down.
how to align both texts to be printed in same format.
Request all of your expert advices in achieving this .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani Miriyaila.

Hi,
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Goto Object palette -> Layout. Give values to X,Y coordinates and Height & Width. Anchor properly and specify margins as well.
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Right click on it and goto palettes -> Paragraph. It gives you the text alignment options. Align the text and give similar font and size.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanoosh

Dynamic Text to be displayed as Image in Adobe Forms

Hi ,
I have a requirment to display dynamic text in the image format in the Adobe Form.
I have tried using the Image field instead of text field.But could not solve the problem.
kindly help me.
Thanks.

Hello,
if you send a text into a text field to the print form, it looks like a paper print, you cannot tell where there is a picture and where is the text. So you don´t care about the image/ text problem. If you need to make difference between two for the user, you can put the text (your image) into a rectangle, use a background or anything like this.
Why would the image make any difference?

Dynamic text not displaying when publishing for flash 8

This dynamic text works fine when the movie is published for
flash 7, but when i export for the flash 8 player it seems to be
invisible. Is there any obvious reason for this happenning?
thanks
jon

Ok, thanks, looks like you've pointed me in the right
direction. I havent fixed it yet though. Heres where i am at:
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = false;
now i can see my text. of course its using a default font.
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "arial14b";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.embedFonts = true;
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.text = "wasssup?";
eval(theTarget+".buttonPrime").tex.setTextFormat = my_fmt;
this isnt working. I have added a font object to the library
and linked it for actionscript using the monkier "arial14b".
however my text is quite invisible. i have checcked, 'export in
first frame' for the font object i even tried it with this
deselected. i have deselected the embed font option on the text
feild itself. that doesnt work either (unless i dont try to set the
text format, so long as i accept a default font, its fine).
so err, help?
confused
jon
ps further to this is have discovered more about this strange
behaviour. i can set the text to a different string, provided i do
not try to embed the font in any way. if i set the font to embed, i
can have the text display with the correct font, until i change the
text. then it dissappears. also i cannot seem to affect properties
like font size by means of my TextFormat object. the textFormat
object also does not seem to affect the font of the text.
in short, when exporting for flash 8, i cannot seem to
successfully embed fonts for dynamic text. the only thigs i have
gotten to work are: static text (or a dynamic text feild with
unchanged text) with an embedded font, or dynamic text with a
default font.

Text displaying selectively, and programs not letting you input text

I posted here once before under a different name when my internet wasn't working and got a prompt, exceedingly detailed and very useful response. Hopefully another brilliant Mac user can help me this time!
As you can see I have an intel-core solo Mac mini. I love it very much, but recently text has been display in an unusual way. Sometimes, in some programs, certain letters will not display. http://tinyurl.com/ygmhc4 is a collage thing I just made to show what I mean more clearly. This happens in MSN, in system. . .programs, I guess, in Firefox, in Growl notification, in Google Notifier, all over the place! I haven't noticed it in MS Word yet, though, but I don't use it often. It's really quite annoying. Any thoughts? It tends to be different letters, but for example all lower-case Us will disappear. But next time, it will be all capital Hs and lowercase Fs. And if you close the program and reopen, it sometimes displays correctly! In Firefox, sometimes entire passages of text will not appear, unless I change the text size to very small sizes. How perplexing!
And another issue I have had: Sometimes a program like Firefox will not recognize ANY keyboard input unless I switch to another application, and then back again. It's a minor annoyance, but it happens pretty regularly.
Help with either issue would be GREATLY appreciated as while both are not destroying my machine, they are harming my productivity. Thanks SO MUCH!

Oh and another display issue, although this MAY be a Firefox problem as it only happens in Firefox. Then again, it seems my computer is really having trouble with text.
Here it is: when I am entering text in to a textbox, the text-entry cursor is slower than the text I am entering. For example, see http://tinyurl.com/yakrlp
In that box, I typed "Unfortunately, this is not the end of my crazy text-display issues! I can't see the last couple of letters I've typed until I type severl mare after them causing ridiculous typos like those because It'it's too late! And I dont't know how many backspaces to do because the cursor is in the wrong place. Annoying, huh? Let me tell you it is. Perhaps this is a Firefox issue, but it seems like it isn't."
As you can see, this is causing a lot of problems. It only appears on SOME websites. For example, on this site, entering this text, it's fine. On some forums, like the MozillaZine support forum, and also in Gmail, this problem appears. Please help! Or is this a Firefox issue?
It seems I have a lot of problems!

Displaying images in dynamic text fields

Hi, I am having some difficulty getting my images to display
in a dynamic text field. The images are linked from a txt file with
the <img src=""> tag however they are not showing up in the
text area. The rest of the html are rendering fine except the image
tag. My example online is here:
www.supernaturalmedia.com.
Here is the code I used in Flash:
var style_sheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var css_url = "global.css";
style_sheet.load(css_url);
news.StyleSheet = style_sheet;
loadVariables("projects_news.txt", this.news);
My css styles also isn't loadin so i temporarily am using
html styles for formatting. I'd like to get the css to work as
well.
My movie is published as Flash Player 6, AS 2.0.
I'd appreciate any helpful advice.
Thanks,
Stanton

1. don't assign the stylesheet property of your textfield
until loading of global.css is complete. ie, use the onLoad handler
for stylesheets.
2. you have movieclip images that are linked for export and
you're using their linkage id in src property of the img
tag?

Dynamic text won't display

I don't know if this is a bug. I have a movie that contains a
dynamic text. When I run it, the text displays fine. But when the
said movie is run through another movie clip (using loadMovie), the
dynamic text won't display. Any ideas why? Thank you.

Than again, it's a bug on your end :)
Dynamic text is a text container, it's to be use with
dynamically given data, from
source file or variable string on timeline. It's not meant to
be for regular text
display. You need to use Static text. The fact that you can
see it it's just flash
being tolerant but it only lasts for as long as the movie is
getting more complex.
You can get away with somethings even tho you should not be
using them, does not
mean they will work all the way. Dynamic text, as said above
is for text that comes
to flash from outside source and this is when it works best.

F8as2-displaying leading zeros in a dynamic text field

F8as2-
Background:
Currently I have to use two different text fields to display 10000 due to the different font sizes.
The 10 is a larger font and the 000 is a smaller font. When I assign '0 'to the dynamic text fields of the smaller font I get just that a '0' not a '000' which is what I want.
Question:
Is there an easy way to display leading zeros in a dynamic text field? Or can a dynamic text field have different character positions displayed in different font sizes? or both?
Thanks for the help.

F8as2-
Thanks for the reply kglad.
Are for saying the best way to display numerically calculated numbers that need leading zeros and or different font sizes is to convert them to a string for display purposes with textFormatting??
