Disabling a Text Input created through the TEXT TOOL?

Hi There,
I have created a text input area. I havent used the flash
text components. I used the TEXT TOOL. In the properties I set it
to "input" type so that i could input data. All the features works
fine except one. I have to disable the text area when user clicks a
button. I dint get any help from the flash help.
The main objective is that the text input area shouldnt take
input from the user when the button is ON, once the button is off,
the cursor should be at the point where the user left and he can
type thru.
Is this possible? I have achieved this functionality using
the textarea component of Flash, but not using the input text area
created using the TEXT TOOL.
Can anyone help me.

use the type property of textfields to change your textfield
to "dynamic "when you want to disable input and assign it to
"input" when you want to enable input.

  • Retreiving the content created with the Note Tool via Javascript??

    Hey guys, is it possible to retrieve the text content created with the Note Tool from the tool palette  in a photoshop document via Javascript? Basically, I wanted to store some text inside the Photoshop psd document, and then later on I can use scripting to access the content to be use as variables.
    I have search the Javascript scripting reference pdf and the forum here, and I can't find any info the Note Tool. Much appreciated.

    Ok, so I am using the activeDocument.info.keywords property to store my text content. The content is basically a chunk of text that contains some parameters that the user can modify to save out a document. In my script, I am using a variable to store the content from the info.keywords property. But my next hurdle is how can I extract specific part of that variable into other variables, like storing the C:\projects\Textures\ into another variable? I've done some research and got a sense that the "match" method in javascript along with the use of regular expressions might do the job. But I am stuck. Any suggestions?
    info.keywords property has the follow chunk of text:
    // file path to save 
    path(C:\projects\Textures\)  
    // save file format (psd or tga, etc)
    format (tga) 
    // include a single alpha channel with the file y/n 
    alpha(n) 
    // alpha name - default should be "alpha1" 
    alphaName(alpha1) 
    // scale from the original size 
    scale(.5) 
    //sharpening
    sharpen(.5)
    script code:
    var saveDoc = activeDocument.info.keywords;
    var savePath = saveDoc[0].match(regular expression goes here); // how to grab C:\projects\Textures\ from the saveDoc variable???
    alert(savePath);

    Joanne Murray J2 What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what operating system (including 32 or 64 bit) is your Premiere Elements installed? Forgive the questions if you have been there and done that, but I do not want to take anything for granted that might hinder a speedy resolution to your issue. Are you opening an already created title that is sitting on the Timeline in order to edit it in the Titler or are you trying to create a new Title (Default Text or other)? Do you know how to work with the Selection Tool and Type Tool in the Titler? Once I know what version of Premiere Elements that you are using, I will give you specific how to details. Thanks. ATR

    First, see Replace Your Preferences and do it for the original account.
    If that fails to solve the problem, rename the two Adobe folders that contain the prefs in the user profile for that account and copy the folders from the new account where it works. You want to be sure you copy the folders, rather than merge the contents, so you must rename the old folders first.

  • All the text I write with the text tool is small!

    When I try to copy a drawing with text, it only pastes the text,  can anyone help me?
    adobe illustrator cs5

    Are your drawing layers locked and the text layers unlocked?  So far it sounds as if the "Copy" command isn't grabbing anything but the text.  I've had a similar problem with text not coming across when I saved my vector art as a raster image: for that I had to remove a compound path or something from the text before it would come over.
    Make sure your layers (and sublayers) aren't locked, and check your compound paths and clipping masks to see if there's something funny going on.

  • Add Object Attributes to a DisplayObject that is created in the Authoring Tool

    Hello, how can I add attributes to a Display Object, that I have created in the Authoring Tool, so I can acces it by:
    myDisplayObjectInstance.myNewAttribute
    Is a DisplayObejct a dynamic class, that can be extended from anywhere?
    Thanks a lot

    I just found the syntax to add a new ObjectAttribute to an Instance of the Object. But is this ObjectAttribute also added to all other  Instances of the Obejct?
    My plan was to create a MovieClip and set some ActionScript inside its timeline in the first frame that adds some Objcet Attributes to that MovieClip, so that the new Object Attribute can be used for all Instances of this MovieClip, that are created in the runtime.

  • 508- Document Properties - Disabled ..."All of the text on this page lacks a language specification"

    Hi,
    When i try to do 508 check. I got the following error message
    "All of the text on this page lacks a language specification'
    I checked "FILE=>Document Properties". All "Document Properties" are disabled. 
    We are using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 to create this dynamic for and save it as static PDF file.
    Still, we have same issue. I am not sure, how to change or setup the language in adobe livecycle designer es2.
    thank you,

    Ah, I don't know that. "Tables" is a collection, not a simple array, and some careless experimentation shows that you cannot simply use .concat to paste them together.
    I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of workarounds for a situation like this. Perhaps it's time to read "[CS3][JS] everyItem() and getElements()" -- i.e. Marc Autret's blog posts about this, at the end of that thread.
    That is, if you stick to using everyItem()! Perhaps it's easier to build an array "the old fashioned way". This code is based on my earlier assumption you had textframes-in-textframes, but you can rewrite it to cater for groups as well:
    t = app.layoutWindows[0].activePage.textFrames.everyItem().tables;
    tableList = [];
    for (i=0; i<t.length; i++)
      tableList.push (t[i]);
    t = app.layoutWindows[0].activePage.textFrames.everyItem().textFrames.everyItem().tables;
    for (i=0; i<t.length; i++)
      tableList.push (t[i]);
    alert (tableList.length);
