EDGE and HTML dynamic text in a "box" with scroll bar

I'm new to EDGE, a win7pro master collection cs5.5 suite owner. I'm mainly in the Film/Video post production field (mostly AE, PPro, Pshop, IA) but have been branching into web design the last couple of years. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. While I'm a expert user with all the Film/video apps, I would say I only have intermediate ability with the web apps. While I understand a lot of programing logic bulding blocks I'm not a coder.
So since we're told "flash is dead", my interest in Edge is to try to do some of the things that I can currently do in flash in EDGE. I was excited when Edge first came out but lost interest when it became obvious that Adobe was not going to offer Edge and Muse to "suite owners" but only in their force feeding of the "Cloud". Better known as the "golden goose" for adobe stockholders and a never ending perpetual hole in the pocket for users. Anyway....
I spent the last couple of days doing some of the tuts and messing with the UI. It's matured a lot since I was here last.
I've been working on a flash site for a sports team where one of the pages is a player profile page where college recuriters and other interested parties can view recuriting relavent info/stats about players. This is how it works. While on the "Team" page a users clicks on a button labled "Player Profiles" . (Animation) A "page" flies in and unfurls from the upper right corner (3d page flips effect created in AE played by flash as a frame SEQ). Once it lands filling most of the center of the screen there is a bright flash. As the brightness fades we see the "page" is a bordered box with a BG image of a ball field(End). (Animation) from behind the border in fly small pictures (player head shots with name and jersey number). They stream in and form a circle like a wagon train and the team logo zooms up from infinity to the center of the circle(End). As the user mouses over a player's pic it zooms up a little and gets brighter (like mouseover image nav thumbs for a image slider). If the user clicks on a player's head shot it flips over and scales up to become a text box with a scrollbar. The content of the box is a mix of images, static and dynamic text fields populated from data in an "player info data base" XML file, and some hyperlinks. It's all kept updated dynamicaly with current stats, info and images from the XML file. There is also a "PDF" button that allows the user to open/save/print a PDF of the player's profile (the PDF's are static files for now but the choice of which pdf to retrive is dynamicaly supplied via the XML file.
So.... Is Edge now able to do something like this? Would it need to be a collection of small animations? could these be "assembled" and connected as an asset in dreamweaver ?
I thought I would approach this from the end (ie click on an image and display a box with dynamic TEXT fileds. ) since that is the most important part, ie displaying the dynamicaly updated profile info. Sooooo....
Can Edge display a scrolling text box with Images, static text, and html dynamic text in it??

I have a Text control string box with some initial text. I would like to highlight old text with click of mouse and type in new data from keyboard

I have a text control string box with some initial text (says: Please enter Name). I would like the operator to click on the text control box and have it automatically highlight so that when new data is typed in the old erases (all at once) and the new data is now in the text box.
I tried using the "Text.Selection" property node and when I run it and put the mouse inside the text box the initial text is highlighted and if I press "delete" on the keyboard or if I start to type in new data the initial data does delete but once I start to type new characters they erase each other. For example if I want to type in “Willi
am” I type the “W” and then the “I” but the “I” erases the “W” and now I am only left with an “I” in the text box and so on. I appreciate any help

It seems you are continuously setting the property node over and over again. This should only happen once if you mouse over it.
Create a property node for your text control with the following three items:
(1) KeyFocus (wire a "true" constant to it)
(2) Text.SelStart (Wire a "zero" constant to it)
(3) Text.SelEnd (Wire a constant containing the string length of the text).
Put this property node inside an event structure, triggered by "Mouse enter" on the string control.
(see if the attached example works for you)

How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale. Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.
The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

Can't have both _alpha control and html in text field?

I have a dynamic text field "text_mc.myText_txt" within a
movieClip. I want the text to fade in and out using the Tween
class. I also want it html formatted so I can apply a stylesheet.
What I see is that in order to have the tween work, the field must
have the text imbedded. But by imbedding the text, the html styling
won't work. Is there a work around for this?
thanks

fm GUI_UPLOAD will not work in background
you need to use
lv_filename = <input file path> " app server path
open dataset lv_filename for input in text mode encoding default.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      do.
        read dataset lv_filename into gs_input-wa_string.
        if sy-subrc eq 0.
          append gs_input to gt_input.
        else.
          exit.

Rotate Dynamic text and make dynamic text go vertical

Hello
I am working on a visual customizer flash app in actionscript 2.0. Looking for good tutorials or examples of how to rotate dynamic text as well as how to make it vertical. Currently all the dynamic embedded text changes colors and size.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

distribute each character to a textfield and arrange the textfields to suit your needs.

Drag and Drop Dynamic Text

my code:
hazard1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
hazard1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.stopDrag(true);
I receive error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property stopDrag not found on
flash.text.TextField and there is no default value.
at dragdrop_as3_complete_fla::MainTimeline/dropIt()
Im trying to drag a movie clip that contains a dynamic text
field only. Is there something that I'm missing

var dyntext:Sprite = new Sprite();
dyntext.x = hazard1.x;
dyntext.y = hazard1.y;
hazard1.x = hazard1.y = 0;
addChild(dyntext);
dyntext.addChild(hazard1);
dyntext.mouseChildren = false; // OPTIONAL - STOPS TEXT FROM
BEING SELECTED
dyntext.buttonMode = true; // OPTIONAL - SHOWS BUTTON CURSOR
dyntext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, textDown);
dyntext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, textUp);
function textDown(ev:Event):void {
dyntext.startDrag();
function textUp(ev:Event):void {

Text shows gray boxes with letters and numbers?

Instead of showing certain characters/ASCII, it instead shows gray boxes with 4 letters/numbers. I have the "allow pages to choose their own fonts" checked, but it is the same with it on and off.
It was like this since I installed firefox, and fiddling with the font options did nothing. :/

Those are Unicode codepoints. They're displayed when there's no font that can display the character in question.
What are the websites where this happens?
What are the codes in question? Please provide a screenshot.

Dynamically create drop down box with JSP

Hi,
I hope this is not a repeat post, I have search the forum and a posting has not jumped out at me. I am making a jsp that dynamically constructs a custom SQL query.
I have a number of text boxes with an id, my jsp page calls a servlet, the servlet reads the contorl id and the value to build the query - this works great. However, there's a large text input box which receives a number of extra conditions - this text box receives the input in the following format:
searchAttributeName1,searchAttributeValue1;searchAttributeName2,searchAttributeValue2
This is functional, however, it's a bit rubbish as the user has to know the special recognised attributeNames. What I would like to have is some sort of criteria control. This would consist of a drop down box populated from the servlet, a text input for the value and a button to add another criteria control. so the user could build up the number of query criteria. The drop down box ensures they cannot select the wrong keyword, pressing the add criteria button adds a new drop down box and text box pair to the screen.
An example of this I recently saw was at Intel's jobs search web site https://jobs.intel.com/jobs/jobs.iccw - see that for example.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to achieve this? I initially thought use jsp scripting (there is no restriction against this) but I need to use javascript I'm guessing as the button click triggers adding a new combo box. Another idea was to use styles and tables to hide the other drop down boxes but this seems like a real hack that I'd like to avoid. I can do with with .NET i hope java can deliver!
Any ideas are much appreciated - I am a novice with java web development so please, any examples thoroughly explain (no need to explain populating the drop down box - there seem to be plenty of posts on this).
Thanks for any help or ideas on this issue -

Gina,
Here is some sample code for using a ComboBox in a JSP from an EditCurrentRecord bean. This particular example uses a query, you can also populate combo boxes, list boxes, radio buttons and checkboxes from a static list. See the JavaDocs for the EditCurrentRecord bean.
<jsp:useBean id="RowEditor" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowEditor.initialize(application, session , request, response, out, "wt_bc_WT_bcModule.WalkthroughEngineSlidesView");
RowEditor.setTargetUrl("WalkthroughEngineSlidesView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp");
RowEditor.createNewRow();
RowEditor.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
RowEditor.useComboBox("Presname","select pres_name,pres_name from wt_info","PRES_NAME","PRES_NAME");
RowEditor.render();
%>
</jsp:useBean>

BW and R/3 in the same box with a single instance ECC 5.0

Hi anybody using this scenario of having bw and r/3 in the same box....we are planing to consider in our project.
will be happy if anybody can provide me some help on this.
thanks and regards

HI Neel Kamal,
I think its a better option to distinguish OLTP like R/3 or ECC and OLAP like BW rather on a single instance

PDF's in Mail Not Previewing Properly - All Text is small Boxes with "X"'s

Hi, when I attach a .pdf file in Mail the letters of the fonts sow up as small boxes with an "X" in the middle. I have attached PDF's before with no problems viewing them in Mail but now they are unreadable.
I contacted Adobe but the PDF looks fine in other applications. I also open the file and save it using "Preview" and it looks fine until I attach it in an email then the font letters are all boxes with "X" in the middle.
Please Help!

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

LOCAL html file (text only) fails in a scrolling frame?

Can anyone help with this?? When I place the html file with the Web Content Overlay directly in a frame and Preview on the Desktop Viewer, the frame scrolls perfectly, but won't import into the folio with the Folio Builder. "Content generation error, the folder is invalid for import." I also tried placing the html file in a frame as above, apply Web Content Overlay, and then Pasting Into a Content frame and then using the Scrolling frame Overlay. Works fine on the Desktop Viewer, but Builder won't import the article, same error as above. I could really use help with this, my client uses a lot of html. ??

In scrollable frames, only URL-based buttons are currently supported. Buttons that jump to a slideshow are not yet supported. If all goes according to plan, the next release of tools will allow buttons in scrollable frames to jump to slideshow states.

Adobe Acrobat Professional X - shows blank dialog boxes with vertical bars

The file and print screen and the file and properties screen both show mainly blank screens with vertical bars only on them, no text at all.
Looking around the forum I found it may be a font problem. Is there a way to know which font or if that is actually the problem and how do you resolve that?
This is on a Windows 7 - 64bit system with Adobe Acrobat Professional X (10.1.12) installed.
Thank you.

Hi brian!
Please see Re: Blank dialog boxes in Acrobat X Pro
Let us know if that does the trick!
Best,

List Box display to synchronize with Scroll bar.

I will like to know if anyone here can help to amend or advise on the attached VI in order to allow the List Box display to synchronize with the Scroll bar.
As the VI is in run mode, i would like to see 9.CD, 10.Troja, 11. Red... and so on to be displayed as it is being executed.
Thanks.

Hi Gelb,
Glad to hear you've got it working
I realised afterwards that my code will not work correctly if the last line is partially hidden, ie the list box does not display an exact number of lines. So I've added a +1 after the array size function to correct this, see attached vi.
You'll notice that I read the NumRows property of the listbox - I've done this so that if you decide to change the listbox height the code will still work without you having to go in and change anything. In your code you would have to change the constant (currently a 7) before the comparison primative to the new height. Also, in my new vi I've assumed the listbox height isn't going to change during the time it gets populated so I've move the NumRows property out of the for loop and read it only once - saves a bit of time
Using a for loop with auto indexing rather than a while loop also means that I don't need to index the input array every time or worry about when the loop will stop.
Hope this all helps
Dave
