[CS5] Shift the text in linked textframes

Hi,
I have a little problem with the comprehension of linked textframes.
Actually, i've a little program that fill a template in InDesign CS5.
I've fours linked textframes, and when i fill the first textframe, i just want to the next linked textframes was shifted automaticly for let place for text.
Can you please tell me how to achieve that ?
Best regards.

I'm sorry, i don't explaind my situation very well.
With InDesign, i have a program that interop with and populate some textframes on a template.
I want to fill a textframe, and if the textframe have an overflow with the text, i want the textframe resize automaticly and shift the next textframe :
Actually, when a textframe is overflows with text (We can see it on the picture with the little red square on the first bloc of textframes), the textframe is not resized and the next textframe is not shifted to the bottom.
What i want is when the textframe is overflows with text, InDesign resize the textframe in height to fill all the text, and shift the next textframe to bottom of the first textframe.
Sorry for my confuse explanations.
Best Regards.

I would like to know how to fix my safari. There are many pages that the text and links appear as "AAAAAAA" and I dont know where to click or what to do

Please if anyone knows how to solve this problem, I bought this mac brand new, first time using it and many pages dont render the texts or links. It shows it like a series of "A"s.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Tagged text in Linked Textframes

Hello,
I have an InDesign document with a textframe linked on multiple pages. inside that textframe, there's tagged text. I can retrieve the XMLElement objects and the InsertionPoint (xmlElement.getStoryOffset()) in java. Now all I need to do is to know what page each tagged text is on.
Is there any way to do this? I've been looking for hours, and can't find a way

I'm sorry, i don't explaind my situation very well.

Change the Text in Linked TFL on the fly

 I have 3 TFL fields on the stage. They are linked so the text overflow from the first spills into the subsequent fields 2 and 3. I want to change the text dynamically but when I do the overflow text do not "overflow" into the other fields. It is as if they were not linked at all.
For instance, when I call:
textField1.htmlText = "bla bla bla......"
the first text field displays the text just fine but the "overflow" does not display in textField2 and textField3 eventhough they are linked on the stage and the initial text displays just fine.
Can this be done?
\\Nick

Do you mean TLFTextField in Flash pro? If you are talking about TextField, there is nothing about TLF.
TextFlow can flow through linked containers. You can make it on linked Sprite. TLFTextField is a kind of Sprite. You need not to use TLFTextField to implement such a feature.
Sample code:
 import flash.display.Sprite;
 import flashx.textLayout.compose.StandardFlowComposer;
 import flashx.textLayout.container.ContainerController;
 import flashx.textLayout.conversion.TextConverter;
 import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
 import flashx.textLayout.edit.EditManager;
 import flashx.textLayout.container.ScrollPolicy;
 public class ContainerControllerExample1 extends Sprite
 private const textMarkup:String = "<flow:TextFlow xmlns:flow='http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008' fontSize='8' " +
 "textIndent='10' paragraphSpaceBefore='6' paddingTop='8' paddingLeft='8' paddingRight='8'>" +
 "<flow:p paragraphSpaceBefore='inherit'>" +
 "<flow:span>There are many </flow:span>" +
 "<flow:span fontStyle='italic'>such</flow:span>" +
 "<flow:span> lime-kilns in that tract of country, for the purpose of burning the white" +
 " marble which composes a large part of the substance of the hills. Some of them, built " +
 "years ago, and long deserted, with weeds growing in the vacant round of the interior, " +
 "which is open to the sky, and grass and wild-flowers rooting themselves into the chinks" +
 "of the stones, look already like relics of antiquity, and may yet be overspread with the" +
 " lichens of centuries to come. Others, where the lime-burner still feeds his daily and " +
 "nightlong fire, afford points of interest to the wanderer among the hills, who seats " +
 "himself on a log of wood or a fragment of marble, to hold a chat with the solitary man. " +
 "It is a lonesome, and, when the character is inclined to thought, may be an intensely " +
 "thoughtful occupation; as it proved in the case of Ethan Brand, who had mused to such " +
 "strange purpose, in days gone by, while the fire in this very kiln was burning.</flow:span>" +
 "</flow:p>" +
 "<flow:p paragraphSpaceBefore='inherit'>" +
 "<flow:span>" +
 "The man who now watched the fire was of a different order, and troubled himself with no " +
 "thoughts save the very few that were requisite to his business. At frequent intervals, " +
 "he flung back the clashing weight of the iron door, and, turning his face from the " +
 "insufferable glare, thrust in huge logs of oak, or stirred the immense brands with a " +
 "long pole. Within the furnace were seen the curling and riotous flames, and the burning " +
 "marble, almost molten with the intensity of heat; while without, the reflection of the " +
 "fire quivered on the dark intricacy of the surrounding forest, and showed in the " +
 "foreground a bright and ruddy little picture of the hut, the spring beside its door, the " +
 "athletic and coal-begrimed figure of the lime-burner, and the halffrightened child, " +
 "shrinking into the protection of his father's shadow. And when again the iron door was " +
 "closed, then reappeared the tender light of the half-full moon, which vainly strove to" +
 "trace out the indistinct shapes of the neighboring mountains; and, in the upper sky, " +
 "there was a flitting congregation of clouds, still faintly tinged with the rosy sunset, " +
 "though thus far down into the valley the sunshine had vanished long and long ago.</flow:span>" +
 "</flow:p>" +
 "</flow:TextFlow>";
 public function ContainerControllerExample1()
 // create the TextFlow, containers, and container controllers
 var textFlow:TextFlow;
 var container:Sprite = new Sprite();

How do ya delete all the text that is a web link?

i am not only looking to disable hyperlinks, i want to remove all the links including the text of the links.
like i want all the text that is a link to the web to delete. because i want to text to speech the thing and it has many links. ie this is a twitter thread, and i want all links out of my text, because it makes no sense for me to listen to them and kind of weird to listen to them. i only want the text, no links, no text of links. not only disable the link from being blue, but also deleting the information of the link. i do not want any links in my text, i do not want any text of web address in my document.
i do not want to disable the links, instead i want all the web addresses out of the text.

What is stopping you to erase them?

Can DW CS5 automate the creation of a link based on the text in the link?

Here's the situation. I often find myself creating blocks of code like this:
<a href="home?searchString=some text"><img src="..."></a>
<a href="home?searchString=some text">some text</a>
Is there a quick, painless way to type the "some text" part once and have DW automatically update the text in the links? This information is not dynamically generated, so server-side scripting is not an option.
Thanks!

Find & Replace in the source code is the only way I'm aware of.

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

IS there a way to fix the issue with text list boxes where they shift (empty space is smaller than the text size) when two text lsit boxes are side by side?

Currently I have a webpage I designed for a company where I have multiple text list boxes side by side for the purpose of displaying data in each one based on a category in the database. So a text list box for the primary key, name, serial number, etc. I have to use Firefox as it typically works best for printing and functionality for the page. The single issue we are having is that in Firefox if the field is null as far as text the text are shrinks meaning all the data in that list box shifts up and is no longer in line with its congruent data in the other text list boxes. In other browsers that's not a problem and everything stays lined up regardless of whether there's text in the box or not.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a link but if contacted I will provide screen shots.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.

When I create email link the text disappears

I don't produce websites but I make edits as needed if not too complex. I know this is probably beyond simple but I'm not getting it. I'm trying to create an email link on client contact page. I type in [email protected] Preview in browser. Fine. I highlight the email address. Go to create email button link. Preview in browser. The link is now there but the text is invisible. I'm using DW in CS5. Delete the line. Put the cursor where I want it. I select create email link and type in link name and the email address which are both the same ([email protected]). Not working.
Update: Googled how to make email link in DW and followed the instructions. Everytime I make a link the text becomes invisible but the link work.

A wild guess: Your link color is white on a white background. Or your link color is black on a black background. Link colors are usually contained in the sitewide CSS. Without a URL to your problem page, it's impossible to comment further.

I was in a chat box with skype and I clicked on the link to copy the text but it came back with "can't copy becuse not permitted in your browser"

I was in a chat box with SKYPE and I clicked on the link to copy the text but it came back with "can't copy because not permitted in your browser"
I can highlight copy and paste from other web screens with no problem.
The chat window however doesn't give access to the lines that have scrolled past the window so highlighting the text won't work. Other chat windows grab the entire text when the user clicks on the copy link or icon.
I just installed firefox and haven't tried other chat windows to see if the problem could be repeated.

Use the keyboard if the buttons on the web page aren't working.

How can I send to a different URL link than what the text states in Acrobat?

Hi there
I know how to create URL links in my document using Acrobat but
How can I create a link that goes to a different URL desintation other than the one the text states?
For example
the text states
www.aaaaa.com
and I want it to state this,
but I want the link to direct to
www.aaaaa.com/abcdefghijkl
I dont want to have to create a link object, I want it to stay as text?
Is this even possible?
Any advise?
Thanks

Actually, it is possible to specify your own tooltip text, if you use a
button instead of a link.
You just set the button's action to "Open a weblink" and it will act the
same as a link, but you'll have more control over how it looks and behaves.
Hi there
I cant see the term "Open a weblink". Can you advise please?
Also then how do you change the "Tooltip text" please?
