Creating a text box for someone to type in to.

Please can someone direct me... I need to create a simple
text box within a flash movie, which will allow the web user to
type information into. The information does not need to be sent
anywhere (i.e. is just for their own use), we just require the user
to them be able to print out the page, with the text box contents.
many thanks

use INPUT as text type instead of STATIC

  • Does a text box for an ebook have to be the exact size?

    I'm using Indesign to create an ebook. The usable, non-bordered area of each page is 800 x 600.
    For each page I use the Type Tool button to allow me to create a text box that fills the page area of 800 x600 pixels. I go to great effort to make sure it is aligned perfectly and exactly the right size. I have slight muscular problems in my hands which makes them unsteady so I sometimes don't draw the box exactly the same size and have to undo it and start again a few times. It would be easier for me if I didn't have to be so precise.
    My question is if I used the Type Tool to draw a Text box that is bigger than the 800x600 page would this have repurcussions in how the ebook functions or displays or does it not make any difference?

    I've not been using Master Pages.
    I'm using Indesign to create an ebook which I will output an epub file.
    I set the page dimensions then I have been adding a page as I progress and then using the Type Tool to create a text box for each new page.
    So when you say 'ePub has no exact size predefined by the layouter it is like xhtml.' does this mean the text box size doesn't matter?

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?

    Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
    Problem I: Importing a graphic
    First of all, which is the best way?
    -Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
    -Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
    Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
    I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
    I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
    Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
    In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
    -Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
    -72 dpi
    -75 dpi
    -150 dpi
    -300 dpi
    -Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
    I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
    Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
    Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
    In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
    Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
    THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.

    My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
    Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
    paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
    for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
    insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
    advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
    together at page/column breaks.
    When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
    above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
    -2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
    point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
    paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
    the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
    I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps!

  • Issue with creating a text box from a loop

    I was hoping someone could take a look at this code and maybe
    help me find out why this isnt working. What I am trying to do is:
    (NOTE: I have used a few differents scripts and combined them, so
    the code may not be the greatest).
    Pull Data from a PHP file (The PHP file gets it's data from
    database)
    Then run a loop that brings in First Name, Last Name, Jersey
    Number, and Position
    Then before it loops and gets the next player it creates an
    array that creates 3 text boxes with Full Name, Jersey Number and
    position
    then it loops through the process again untill all of the
    records have been retreived.
    I'm not sure if its because I have a do while loop inside of
    a for loop inside of a function and an Array. I'm new to Arrays and
    loops. the issue is it wont display the text boxes.
    NOTE: When I trace this, the data is being retrieved.
    Thanks for the help

    "this" inside your onLoad() method refers to your loadvars
    instance, receive. and the loadvars class has no createTextField()
    method, so you're not going to create any textfields if that code
    is in the onLoad() body.
    to remedy, reference a timeline instead of receive.

  • Using Automator to create a text box of certain size

    I'm very new to using automator... in fact I haven't used it at all, but I am wondering if I can use it to create a text box of the same size each type to type in within preview (a PDF document).  Basically I want to click or push something and have a text box be generated that is the same size each time.
    Thanks!

    1. In the Finder actions you will need:
    - Get Specified Finder Items, and point it towards the folder that will contain the movie.
    - Get Folder Contents - to get what's inside the folder.
    - Filter Finder Items - set to filter by 'Name Extension' 'Is equal to' 'mov' and make sure all your video files have the right extension...
    - Open Finder Items - in QT Player - note that this might cause problems if there are multiple files in the folder...
    Then from the QT Player actions:
    - Play Movies.
    2. Save As... Application, then after saving, drag the app into the login items for the user account.
    3. That's going to need some AppleScript, but this thread should get you started:

  • How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?

    How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?
    When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it.  I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
    thanks,
    C

    Add another page below the current one to use as a storage area. You can't use the grey area around the page for storing items you want to use later.
    Go to the Pages Menu>Provide Pages Feedback if you would like to request this feature be added in future versions.

  • How to create a text box in ascreen painter?

    HI friends can anyone tell me how to create a text box in a screen painter?

    Example when we click on browser the path of the computer has to be opened and by giving the document name attach and the document will be attached. Please tell me the procedure....

    To get the best answers, I think you probably need to break down your post into several different one with a separate question in each, along with the business problem you are trying to solve... but here's a few pointers for you to research...
    Textbox - there's plenty of info in SDN on creating a custom control with a textbox e.g. Re: Text Editor on modulepool Screen and sample code in SAP too.
    Attachments - If this is for an email, then GUI_UPLOAD might help and the BCS class is the newer way to send messages... check out Re: Offline Approval: RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP Vs RSWUWFMLEC for example... if this is an attachment for an SAP object such as an FI Document or Purchase Order, then the Generic Object Services (GOS) could be what you want e.g. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0e6b0d95-0a01-0010-4696-ca0a48de5fb3

  • Wondering how to create a text box with variables...

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering how to create a text box, that at the beginning of the presentation, the audience fills in regarding what they think constitutes the role they have been chosen for.
    I would like that same box to then appear at the end of the presentation, with the text they typed in at the beginning, so they can reflect on what they think now, and what they thought then. I understand this is done using variables, but i'm not 100% sure.
    I hope I've worded this okay!

    This screenshot shows the properties panel, Style tab for the TEB. I relabeled it to My_TEB, used the X button  to create a user variable v_choice that will replace the generic Text_Entry_Box_1/
    This is the properties panel of a Shape, I went in Edit mode (double clicking)to make the Character section appear, where you find the X button. It opens the dialog box 'Insert Variable' and you can choose the var associated with the TEB. The Maximum Length will define how many characters will be displayed, the value of a variable has maximum 256 characters.

  • Creating Dynamic Text Field for Flash CS3 in Illustrator CS3

    I've created a series of buttons in an illustration and made
    them into movie clip symbols in Illustrator. I then created some
    text fields for the button labels and assigned them as dynamic text
    in the Flash Text panel in Illustrator.
    When I import the illustration into Flash and test the movie,
    I get this error message:
    TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
    flash.text::TextField@d18cef9 to flash.display.MovieClip.

    It seems like Flash is misinterpreting the text fields
    brought in from Illustrator as Movie Clips?

  • Default gutter width for drawing text boxes for overset text

    I have master pages that were created with columns and the correct gutter width we want. When I drag a story from a window (a window that is part of our CMS) and place it on the page, the gutters between the text columns are correct -- p9 (or 0.125 inches). But if I draw a new text box or if I click the red plus to draw a text box for overset text, the gutter is a full pica (or 0.1667 inches).
    I want any text box that is drawn on the page or any overset text box that is drawn to default to p9 for gutters.
    I don't want to manually change the gutter for every new text box I draw.
    I'm using ID with CS4.
    Thank you.

    The default gutter in a multi-column frame is set in the object style under Text Frame General Options. If you haven't defined any new styles you only need to edit the [Basic Text Frame] style. New frames will use the new gutter value when you add columns. If you have object styles for other text frames, you'll need to edit those, too. For existing frames, if the number of columns has been changed manually, you will need to reset the gutter.

  • Create expandable text boxes & maintain Indesign interactive features

    I have a form created in indesign which has interactive buttons included. I exported to pdf and now need to add expandable text boxes. I tried to do this in Livecycle but when i imported the pdf as a flowable form (with a view to make it dynamic) the interactive buttons i had created disappeared. is there a way around this so that i can create expandable text boxes but still maintain the buttons i have created?
    PS i am completely new to Livecycle

    Hi Reggie,
    Here are two versions. One form with a fixed number of pages and the other with a variable number of pages (you can add additional page 1).
    In the fixed number of pages, the click event of the index button includes the following instruction to go to a target page:
    xfa.host.currentPage = 1;
    This works because the page we want is always "1".
    If the form is dynamic and the number of pages can increase (or decrease) from those set at design, then we need to track the actual page number of each target page, at runtime.
    The script in the index button now looks like this:
    xfa.host.currentPage = page2.thisPage.rawValue - 1;
    Here the target page is page2 and on this page we have a field called "thisPage". The instruction is to jump to the current value of thisPage on page 2.
    For each target page that you want to index, you will need a hidden field (thisPage). You need to put this on each page and not on the Master Page.
    Hopefully the examples will help explain this.
    This is how we do it, there probably are other solutions out there.
    In relation to the second part, the link feature in Acrobat will not work with a form developed in LC Designer. Paul has a thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1923918#1923918) with a PDF for attaching documents, which were then listed in a list box. This could help you in developing your form.
    Another option is to have a button which becomes visible is there are attachments in the PDF. The click event then shows/hides the attachment panel. The user can then see the attachment and double click on the one they want/need. I know it is not as clean, but it is easier to implement. The javascript for the button would be:
    app.execMenuItem("ShowHideFileAttachment");
    Hope that helps,
    Niall
    the text keeps collapsing...
