Creating pop-up bubbles

I have a word document that is to be filled out as an application by users. I can convert it to a PDF and also have FormsCentral.
Basically, there are long strings of acronyms in consecutive order within the document, and I need to create a function so that when a user scrolls over a certain acronym, a pop-up bubble appears explaining what that particular acronym means. I'm not sure the best, easiest way to go about doing this is.
Thanks.

There are a number of ways to do this, depending on exactly what you mean by pop-up bubble. Probably the easiest is to use show/hide field actions in the mouse enter/exit events of a button. On mouse enter, set it to show another field (button, read-only text field) that displays the explanatory text. On mouse exit, set it to hide the same field.

How to create pop-up window to search for items

Hi,
I want to create a pop-up window were the user will be able to search for an item and select it.
How can I use a pop-up window in a portlet? Is there any api in the pdk for creating pop-up windows?
Thanks

Hi,
Can you let me know why you are trying to use a popup window for searching?
You can always add a search portlet - Basic,Advanced,Custom
- which will give you the link to the respective searched items.
I couldn't get a clear idea of your requirement.
Thanks.

Can't create POP account

It happens that I can't create POP accounts, while I do easily with Entourage.
The same data in Entourage work while in Mail don't.
I can't understand why. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
Thanks

Hector,
A subtle difference between Mail and Entourage, is in the use of Username. In Mail, what you enter in the Username box of Mail Preferences must be exactly what is required by the provider of the POP server -- this will either be the true username, which is the portion of the email address in front of the "@", which is how it is done for a .mac, or for some providers it must be the entire email address, repeated as the Username entry (this is how it must be for Gmail). You must test with each, or find a support document that provides the format you must enter as the Username.
I think Entourage, at least sometimes, is able to derive the Username from the email address, and negotiate through this choice.
Let me know if changing the form of the Username entry will resolve this.

        ts-activetab = 'FILL'.
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
here whenever i select the second tab (fill ) a pop will be generated with the message 'fill the details' , if i select yes then it will be on the same screen for no it will lead to next screen.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Oddities in Safari happen, not from viruses etc, but from some of the complexities of the program itself. In this case, a corrupted preference file may be causing the problem.
In the Finder, drag to the desktop the com.apple.safari.plist folder found in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder.
Restart Safari. Select the pop-up block. Quit/Restart Safari.
If the pop-up selection held, you'll need to reset your Safari preferences to your liking, plus any custom settings found in the Edit Menu (spelling) or View Menu (status bar, bookmarks bar, custom icons in the "Customize Address Bar" ).
Otherwise, move the file back to its original location.

Creating POP email account

When trying to create a new email account, even though the on-line user guide says I can create POP or IMAP accounts, I never get the option of selecting POP. It always creates IMAP. How do I create a POP account?

If your provider has both IMAP and POP, the phone will generally default to IMAP. If however, you have a POP account, then you need to "fool" the iPhone into allowing you to choose. Delete the attempt that you made and then go back to Settings and add an account. From there, purposely make a mistake in your email password. This will then not allow the account to be verified. When that happens, you will get the screen that allows you to make a choice. From there, you will need to correct your password on that screen, and then finish making the necessary entries for your account.

Best way to create a speech bubble effect?

Hi there,
I'm currently writing a simple game using java 2D, on screen i would like to show some text surrounded by a speech bubble which will be used to show what a character is saying. I need the text to be scrollable as there might be alot of it and dont want to clog up the screen.
Initially i wanted to create this directly on the JPanel im using but could not figure out how to add a scrollable text area directly onto a JPanel (if its even possible!).
So i thought just use a pop up text box that would already be scrollable, but how can i get a pop up to have the appearence of a speech bubble?
Any help or hints would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Oh boy, do I have the thing for you.
A while back I built a quote class that looks like a quote in cartoon or something.
So I'll post the quote class, along with my Draggable and Resizeable classes, which make these things a snap. In order to drag or resize, you must set the layoutmanager to null of course
currently the quote extends JComponent and does not draw its background (so it's see-through) you can change this to JPanel to show the background, but you'll probably never want to do this.
You are welcome to use and to modify this code, but please do not change the package or claim it as your own work.

If you program is Premiere Pro CC, you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.

Create "Pop Up Video" graphic?

Does anyone know how to create a "pop up" video graphics as used in the pop up video classics of days gone by? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

But be prepared for the learning curve on Motion. After several years, I find it opaque and insanely frustrating compared to After Effects.
Creating the bubble effect isn't all that difficult, there may even be several elements in the Library that will adapt easily. The hard parts, the parts that will make you animation elegant and cool, are tweaking the keyframes or behaviors so the movements are non-linear and have some Looney Tunes-like class and personality to them. That is a far more difficult thing to do.

How to create pop-up text boxes?

Hello,
Does anyone know if it's possible to make pop-up text boxes/windows in iBook Author? For instance, I can click on a text on the layout and a window pop-up with another text, in my case, they're references/citations. If this isn't possible in iBook Author, is there work-around for this, preferably, in iBook Author itself instead of creating widgets/imagest for every instance of the references. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hoa

The glossary offers this capability. However, using it for that purpose might be a bit confusing, especially if you also have "real" glossary entries.
I'm not aware of any other way to create a pop-up.

Create pop up menus

I am updating my website and have the home page complete...I
think. The other pages have not been updated yet because I am
trying to figure out the best way to create an easy to update
pop-up menu similar to what is currently on all the pages except
the Home page. It is a drop down menu and every time I add a new
category of images like "Antarctica" I have to update the menu on
EVERY page. Here is a link to the Main Gallery and all the pages
except the Home page has the pop-up menu which you see when you
mouse over the word "Gallery".
http://www.westlight.net/gallerynew.html
I would like to create a separate html frame/page that only
has the "Menu Bar" across the top of the page as seen on the Home
page.
http://www.westlight.net/index.html
On all the other pages I would like to have the drop down menu
appear as it current does but in a way that is MUCH easier to
update. I thought I could insert this html frame into all the other
pages and then I would only have to make changes to the one menu
page. I really do not understand much about the ins and outs of web
design.
The new menu bar on the Home page is a series of
images/buttons. I tried to create a pop-up menu using Dreamweaver 8
but it does not appear. Something to do with trying to create a
pop-up menu from an image? I hope that there is an easy way to do
this without having to drop $80.00 on software to create menus as I
obviously do not do this for a living. If I have to buy something
any recommendations would be great.
All suggestions are MUCH appreciated.

Avoid frames, Server side includes are a good way to go.
Determine what platform your host supports i.e. php or asp,
and all you will need is a separate file for your menu bar,
and a bit of code to call it on each page.

Best way to create pop-up menu's

Hi All,
I have been having a heck of a time doing something that i
would have assumed to be relatively simple - specifically creating
a pup-up menu.
My first set of approach was to dynamically create a movie
clip on a button rollover, and within that movieclip create several
other movie clips that i then assigned actions too. The problem was
that since i applied a action on "rollout" on the initial movie
clip, it became a button, and as such all of the sub
movieclips/buttons became in active (any click was only detected on
the parent).
My second set of attempts have been around the MenuComponent
(see other posts), but here too i have hit problems, initially with
animation and depth. I solved the animation issue, but the depth
problem remains.
Now, i see pop-up menu's everywhere, so i assume that this is
a relatively simple problem - so what am i missing. A google search
showed up lots of examples of how to do using menu that are created
in the UI (rather than purely in AS), using purchased components.
The first case is not an option since i need to create it fully
dynamically, the second would be an option - however i typically
need a far greater level of visual control than off the shelf
components provide (hence i have needed to build up my own class
library for many common tasks).
So after all that, i have a simple question.
"What is the best way to create a dynamic popup menu in
AS2?"
Regards
Neil

I guess you want to make your own popup menu, if I understand
correctly. Nothing simpler, your first attempt was in the right
direction, you just don't assign button actions to the parent clip,
because you won't get the child clips to work, but add another
child at the lowest level inside the parent, that acts as a
"background" clip/button.
And for the rollout for the entire popup, you can add a
transparent clip just under the popup (which is at the currently
topmost depth) covering the entire stage, give it rollover that
acts as your rollout, and make it not use the hand currsor, so you
can't tell it's there.
That's how I do it, anyways..
