Controlling Dynamic Text

How do you get dynamic text to show up within a specific
movie clip instead of simply on the stage?
I've created a dynamic text field and given it an instance
name (banner_txt). I'd like to use a variable to hold the .text
info for this field, that way the banner's label can change when
people go to a new section of my website.
Thanks

Not sure where the problem was - a combination of problems
with registration point and mucking around on multiple timelines .
. . but I just opened a new FLA file just to check the principle of
the thing, and everything's working as expected (no problem adding
dynamic text where it's supposed to go)
Thanks for your help kglad.

Dynamic Table control header text

Hi everyone,
I need to change the column header texts of a table control dynamically.
There are 32 columns in my table control. I got the information that I have to use I/O fields for every columns as the column header texts to change it dynamically.
But it didn't work as the I/O box goes into the body of the table control instead of being placed in the header area. So I checked w/title and tried to drag and drop the I/O boxes on the header text place of table control. But it allowed only one I/O box to be there in the header area..
Please suggest me any idea to place the 32 I/O boxes in the header area as the corresponding column headers in the table control..
Thanks in advance,
Sheeba.

Controlling appearance of Dynamic Text

Hi All,
is it possible to stretch the font of dynamic text or make it more bold using actionscript 2?
Thanks!

Dear KGLAD -
this is my code, but it says "var format:TextFormat = New TextFormat();" is syntax error.
onLoad
var LCD:String;

How do i control 2 text boxes with 1 scroll bar? (CS4)

I want to control 2 Dynamic Text boxs with the 1 scroll bar component? I want them to scroll simultaneously with the user only needing to use the one component. Thank you in advance for your help

The textfields should have the same number of lines. You can have the scrollbar (sb) assigned to one textfield (t1) and then have an event listener/handler for the scrollbar adjust the other textfield's (t2) scrollV property to match the first one's scrollV property:
import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
sb.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, adjustTs);
function adjustTs(evt:ScrollEvent):void {
t2.scrollV = t1.scrollV;

BPM Alerts - Dynamic Text

Hi,
I'm triggering Alerts from BPM with Dynamic variables. In ALRTCATDEF I was not able to define the header ( Subject field on the email ) as I need to check Dynamic Text box which will deactivate Short and Long Text. Furthermore Shortext ( for example its like " Process number 00001234567 " ) in ALRTINBOX becoming Subject field in the email. So when we receive email with the Subject field as "Process number 00001234567" doesn't makes sense until you open the email.
I did gone thru the document and all the blogs and lost how to fix it.
Do anyone have the same problem?.. Please help.
Basically I want to system ID on the Subject line of the email.

Well there is an alternate solution. But as a standard using the Control Step of the BPM, this is not possible.
Trigger Alert from a UDF as shown in this blog of mine,
/people/bhavesh.kantilal/blog/2006/07/25/triggering-xi-alerts-from-a-user-defined-function

Alert using Dynamic text in BPM.

Hi,
I am using dynamic text function in alrtcatdef transaction for raising an alert using BPM.
But in the alert inbox I am not getting the an alert error message which is passed to alert catagory in control step of BPM. Can anyone please let me know what may be the possible solution of it.
I have done the below configuration:
Configuration done in Alrtcatdef transaction:
Created an alert catagory
assigned the fixed recipient
click the dynamic text button in alert catagory property.
Configuration done in BPM:
Used the Control step.
given the Alert catagory name,action and the alert error message.
Please let me know the solution soon.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

HI Bhavesh,
I have referred the michal weblog and I have done the same step except the container operation step.
My requirement was to send the hard coded error message to the alert catagory so I didnt used the container operation step.
In the Control step I have hard coded my error message.
But still it is not showing in my alert inbox.
Can you please let me know is there any other settings needs to be done.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

How to generate controls dynamically based on value stored in database using mvc4?

In my database, i have a field called control_ids corresponding to text box, dropdownlist, radiobuttonlist etc. My goal is to
create controls dynamically based on value of control_id-field in table. Anybody please help me how to create the controls dynamically in MVC 4 for this scenario.

In your view you could do something like that:
foreach (var field in Model.FormStruture.fields)
<div class="editor-label">
<label for="@field.Name">@field.Descricao</label>
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<input class="text-box single-line" id="@field.Name" name="@field.Name" type="text" value="@field.Valor" data-rules-required="@field.Mandatory.ToString().ToLower()" data-rule-number="@field.Tipo.Equals(SiB.OCR.Documentos.Modelo.TipofieldDocumento.Numerico).ToString().ToLower()" title="@field.Descricao" />
</div>
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(field.Format))
@:<script type="text/javascript">$("[email protected]").mask("@field.Format");</script>

Alerts with "Dynamic Text". Alert ID is unknown.

Hello,
I have set up an alert category with option "Dynamic Text" activated as I want to use some custom container variables in BPM.
When the appropriate control step in BPM is executed not alert is triggered.
If I try to trigger a test alert using report RSALERTTEST I get the following error:
Alert ID is unknown. Maybe the alert was not created.
Both works fine when I use a an alert category without "Dynamic Text" selected. What could be the reason for this?

Just got the alert from the integration process. RSALERTTEST still gives the same error, but most important is that the alert works during runtime.

Dynamic text in ALERTS

Hi,
I have one BLOCK in which I have one exception brach with control (For raising the ALERT in case of system errors) step. I have synchronous send step with in this block. This synchronous send step throws system error becuase of different reasons like system not available, JCO errors for date formats. Is there anyway I can trap this exact cause of system failure and pass it as dynamic text to control step.
Thanks

Dynamic text problem

Hi,
I have some dynamic text within a scrolbar controlled box. I
need to link certain words of the text but, whenever I attempt to
do this, the entire text block becomes 'linked'. Does anyone know
how I can solve this?
Many thanks.

Then you'll need to use html links for the words. So when you
assign the text to the textfield, you'll need to assign it as...
tField.htmlText = "text.... <a href='...>link
text</a>"... text;
where tField is whatever instance name you assigned to the
textfield

Added dynamic text; How do I stop variable name from showing?

I am creating a simple game for kids. On the first page, I added an "input text" field for their first name. I called the variable firstname.
When they move to the next page, I used a "dyanamic text" field so I can call them by name on this page. It works. However, When I test the game, on the first page, where the firstname is input, it shows _level0.firstname instead of just a blank space for them to input their name.
I know I fixed this in the past and it was something simple, but I can't remember how to do it. I'd appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

Beginning with Flash MX (version 6), you assign the text field an instance name using the Property inspector. Although you can use the variable name method with dynamic text fields for backwards compatibility to Flash 5 and earlier versions, Macromedia doesn't recommend this, because you can't control other text field properties, or apply style sheet settings

Adding Scrollbar and buttons to Dynamic Text

Hello,
I am trying to connect dynamic text to scrollbar and buttons. I did tutorial and Lynda.com and practically pasted the code in with my file names and for some reason it does not work. It says I have a "Access of Undefined Property mask_mc" Did I need to create a variable for this? I didn't in the tutorial.
Right now I have the dynamic text loading successfuly in 2 different places and I wantd to add the scrollbar. I put the variables on frame 1 code and then I put the actually load code on the frame where it is needed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! Sandra

Hello again,
Maybe I am asking this question wrong. Instead of making you try and figure out what's going on in my file what I really need to know is how you would take this code I am attaching and make it happen on another frame besides frame 1 and it doesn't appear on frame 1. I think this may help me understand a little better.
Also another way I was thinking to get around this would be to pull in an external swf into the spot where I want this text to go because I can make the scrollbars and external text work when it is the only thing going on in the movie. Would this be a bad way to set this up? and also SInce it is an external movie would I have maintimeline issues with mouse/scroller control?
thanks! sandra

Adding Controls dynamically in the Infopath/Web form with dynamic controls

Hello,
The client requirement is to create SharePoint solution for the below image. A web form/Info-path form will be created where user can enter the details and data will be submitted. I am looking for a solution to implement the requirements in SharePoint .
if not possible then using customizations and SQL server.
User can enter the Title , Overview in the form , which we can make Single line and multiple line of Text. The problem is with third , fourth and fifth fields.
1) In third field , i.e. Qualification Summary , User can add/delete , dynamic text boxes..This can be achieved I think using repeating tables/sections in Infopath...How data will be saved in SharePoint columns as it is not fixed that how many
columns user can enter , how columns(static) will be created in the list ??
2) For fourth field , user will select one or many Project description title n descriptions which are there in the system..User will not write anything just select..But how many project descriptions they can select , again its not fixed..How
we can manage it in SharePoint List OR any custom solution ?
3) For fifth field , user will select one or many Awards which are there in the system.User will not write anything just select..But how many awards they can select , again its not fixed..How we can manage it in SharePoint List OR any custom
solution ?

>Lets say , the data for user selection is stored in two separate lists
secondary data connection is only for one list so you can get data from only single list by creating list connection. Later you can drag & drop that connection as repeating table or bind with any control so display in form. If you have mulitiple list
then you may use lookup column or would need to create two seperate data connection.
>Do you think its a right approach ?
multi selection listbox is helpful if requirement is select multiple records or filter records. You can almost achieve most of the requirement but still depends on business need. Ofcource some limitation is also there.
>I'm planning to propose a custom .net form
Of course custom form is always better than OOTB in some cases but i always prefer OOTB solution if my requirement is being achieved by it.

Adding a progress loader to a dynamic text field / scrollPane

I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
    trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
     trace("LOADED");
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong or of another approach?
thanks in advance,
Josh

One pair of radio buttons to control multiple text objects - Designer 8.0

Greetings - a big thank you in advance for any assistance. I have often found answers to my problems on this forum, but have been unable to find an answer to the following.
The short of it - is it possible to make a pair of radio buttons control the visibility of multiple text objects with the same name(I have had success in manipulating only a single text object with one pair of buttons)?
The long of it - I am trying to make a form bilingual based on the value of a radio button group to control the visibility of the text object in the selected language. When the user selects the language they wish to see, all the text objects in the form switch to that language. I am working with a dynamic PDF.
I have succeeded to a very limited extent in manipulating one text object by overlaying text objects in both languages, setting one object to "invisible" as default, and controlling that text objects visibility with the following JavaScript in the click event of the radio button group:
----- form1.#subform[0].ENG_JPN::click: - (JavaScript, client) -------------------------------------
if (ENG_JPN.rawValue == 1)///1 equals the value of on
{English.presence = "visible";}
else
{English.presence = "invisible";}
if (ENG_JPN.rawValue == 2)///2 equals the value of on
{Japanese.presence = "visible";}
else
{Japanese.presence = "invisible";}
endif
The problem is I need to manipulate the visibility of all text objects with the same name on the form with a single radio button group. I have tried writing the code as one does for the sum of a repeating field, ie. English[*].presence etc. however I get a C++ error in preview.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I am truly stumped - thank you for your time.

To access objects with the same name you need to deal with occurance numbers. If your object is called TextField then the 1st occurance will be TextField[0], the second occurance will be TextField[1] etc.....
The issue is that the [] in javascript are interpretted as an array element so you have to use the syntax: xfa.reolveNode("string") to get to your object names. In your case you would use:
xfa.resolveNode("TextField[1]").presence = "visible"
This string syntax allows you to use a var to hold the index number and is very useful with for loops where you want to set large numbers of objects. So if the index was held in the var i then your syntax would be:
xfa.resolveNode("TextField[" + i + "]").presence = "visible"
If the objects are in a repeating subform then the occurance numbers are on the subform and not the object. You can always get the expression to use by app.alert(objectname.somExpression). This will return the expression that you need to create.
Make sense?
