Flash freezes in Firefox when I scroll the mouse wheel over a drop down list or text field (possibly others as well).

Whenever I scroll in a drop down menu in Flash in Firefox (for example, I move the mouse wheel just one detent), it just continues scrolling on its own all the way to the bottom of the list and freezes all interaction for about 10 seconds. It's really bizarre.
If I start click and dragging things, nothing happens, and then all of the sudden everything catches up and moves. As an experienced programmer, I can say that it looks like some kind of queuing of keyboard/mouse events with delayed execution. Has anyone else encountered this issue?
I found something from 2008 that sounds similar, although I am not using the sIFR they mentioned: sIFR mouse wheel scrolling freeze in Firefox - Stack Overflow
Seems to be a Firefox-specific issue, although it also seems to be something that has just recently started occurring since updating Firefox.
UPDATE: I was checking my Firefox version in Help > About Firefox, and it showed version 33, but also had a pending update so I restarted Firefox. The problem was no longer occurring at that point. When I checked the version again, it said 33.0.2, but it also said "applying update", with another pending restart. I restarted Firefox again. It's now stable at version 33.1. So perhaps it was a problem with that particular version, or even a temporary issue with that running browser instance.

Drop down lists populating text fields on a page different from the dropdown.

Hello all,
I have a form with several pages. The first page contains a number of drop down lists. These drop down lists, when an option is chosen, is to populate a text field on another page. I can get the drop down list to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script doesn't work. Can anyone offer a solution? I've used javascript on change for the scripts.

Thanks Paul,
I have been able to solve the drop down list question, thanks to your help.
I have another question that involves locking specific fields in a four page form which contains approximately 100 fields that need to be locked before the end user completes the remaining fields. How do I lock individual subforms so that the remaining fields remain open and editable? The final version of the form, will have at least 200 fields in it that will also need to be locked in sections.
I can lock all the fields using the lock all fields button, but have been unable to make it work for just part of the form.
I've emailed the draft form. It would be really helpful if I had one example of a locked subform on the form I'm struggling with.
Thanks for your help.

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

Populating the data from table onto drop-down list.

Hi all
The following code i have used in trigger 'when-new-form-instance'
DECLARE
group_id RecordGroup;
list_id Item := Find_Item('Lines.classification');
status NUMBER;
rg_name varchar2(10) := 'rgroup';
BEGIN
clear_list(list_id);
group_id := Find_Group(rg_name);
IF NOT id_null(group_id) then
Delete_Group(group_id);
End if;
group_id := Create_Group_From_Query(rg_name,
'select meaning from lookup_values where lookup_type='TC_CLASSIFICATION' and lookup_code in('BUSINESS','PERSONAL')');
status := Populate_Group(rg_name);
Populate_List(list_id, group_id);
END;
i have created a Record_Group from Object navigator(name:'rg_name').
and used it in the above code.
after this i try to run the form, i am not able to see the value which i drop-down list
can any one suggest me abt this, and any changes i need to do in the property pallet,...
Thanks

No, Populate_List requires that the record group is created at runtime.Actually you're wrong ;)
POPULATE_LIST works with both, record groups created at runtime AND at design time.
Try the below code on SCOTT schema with a list item and a button trigger:
Record Group created at design time
DECLARE
     RG_NAME VARCHAR2(10) := 'RGROUP';
     V_DUMMY NUMBER;
BEGIN
     CLEAR_LIST('LIST_ITEM1');
     V_DUMMY := POPULATE_GROUP(RG_NAME);
     IF V_DUMMY = 0 THEN
          CLEAR_LIST('LIST_ITEM1');
          POPULATE_LIST('LIST_ITEM1', RG_NAME);
     END IF;
END;
Record group Created at Runtime
DECLARE
     GROUP_ID RECORDGROUP;
     RG_NAME VARCHAR2(10) := 'RGROUP';
     QUERY_TEXT VARCHAR2(1000) := 'SELECT ENAME, TO_CHAR(EMPNO) FROM EMP';
     V_DUMMY NUMBER;
BEGIN
     CLEAR_LIST('LIST_ITEM1');
     GROUP_ID := FIND_GROUP(RG_NAME);
     IF NOT ID_NULL(GROUP_ID) THEN
          DELETE_GROUP(GROUP_ID);
     END IF;
     GROUP_ID := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(RG_NAME, QUERY_TEXT);
     CLEAR_LIST('LIST_ITEM1');
     V_DUMMY := POPULATE_GROUP(RG_NAME);
     IF V_DUMMY = 0 THEN
          CLEAR_LIST('LIST_ITEM1');
          POPULATE_LIST('LIST_ITEM1', RG_NAME);
     END IF;
END;It does work with me both ways, I suggest you test it.

Getting Drop Down list for a field in portal based on the values in R/3

Hi,
Presently we were customizing the ESS>>Family Members/Dependants iview in Portal. Because of the design requirement, in R/3 we have added some custom field for infotype 21 (Family Member details Infotype). We have to display these field on portal in Family Member Iview.
However for these custom fields i am not able to get the drop down list with all the possible values description(F4 help ) in portal unlike the standard SAP fields.
I am able to display the codes but the description is not coming up for the fields. However for standard SAP field, only description comes.
For this I tried to attach the search help to the data element and also assigned a check table to the data element in R/3. But still I am not getting the description in the drop down.
So how can I get the description and only the description in the drop down.
Thanks
Namit

Hi,
When you run the Search hep is it giving the description or not
You have to create the serarch help with both the fieldname and its description field then we cna the values. Or
Try to mantain the text table for this field and get the data.
Get the valeusinto drop drown with this table Or create the SearchHelp for this text table

Want to hide the drop down based on text field value

Hi,
I want to hide some of the values in drop down based on one text field value.
I have the field called name which has the value A, B, C, D and also one drop down list which has the values 1,2,3,4,5,6. I want to hide the some of the values in drop down based on A or B or C. Let say, If it is A, drop down value should be 1,3,5. If it is B, Drop down value should be 1,2,3,4. Like this for every record.
Can you please help me out.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Robert,
I am trying it in two different way. Please suggest which is the right one and feasible.
1) I have the drop down list which has all the status. I am trying to hide the drop down values based on one text field value for all records.
2) I have collected all the drop down values into table in webdynpro method. Rightnow I have two tables.
one has line items details and another one have drop down values. both tables having common fields.
I have to show second table values for that particular key, move all of them to drop down.
Which is the best and feasible option.
Thanks
Ram

What are the XFA properties for a drop-down list?

I am having trouble distinguishing between the "Text" and "Value" for a drop down list.
I have a data drop-down list that is being populated by a database at runtime. I am using the "addItem" event while looping though the recordset. The "addItem" event takes 2 parameters:
param1: A valid string representing the value to display in the field.
param2: (Optional) A valid string representing the new items bound value. If empty, the default value is an empty string.
What is the corresponding XFA properties for param1 and param2?
If I want to reference "param2" somewhere else in the form, is it dropDownList.rawValue? is it dropDownList.value?

reviewed the sample.zip form and xml file. The XML format is different from my file. Your file has one field named "item" with 3 records. <data> - <field> <item>1</item> <item>2</item> <item>3</item> </field> </data> My XML file has multiple fields and records. I need to populate the dropdown list with 1 field from XML file/DataConnection and bind the remainder of the DataConnection fields to the form fields. How can I achieve above with the sample example?

Can we display only the required dimensions under Dimensions Drop Down list

Hi,
I am using Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management, Fusion Edition 11.1.1.3.00, so far under Activities -> Maps option we used to display all the dimensions used in the application, but now as per the client's requirement we need to display only those dimensions which needs mapping under dimensions drop down list.
Eg)
Now in our Application our Dimension Drop Down list will look show these dimensions
Account
Entity
Legal Entity
Inter company
Reverse 1
Reverse 2
Among these we are doing mapping only for Account, Entity dimensions so we need to hide rest of the dimensions from the Dimensions Drop Down list for which we are not using any mappings (Legal Entity, Inter company,Reverse 1,Reverse 2)
Another thing is these dimensions should be hidden only from the drop down list and not from the Output file generated after the Export.
Some suggestions regarding this issue will be greatly helpful.
Thanks,
Abdulla Javeed Hassan

Hi
If hiding the other dimensions is to prevent users from accessing and changing the mappings then you could do this by amending the object security so that only certain user roles can access the Activities > Maps option.
This will only really work if you have limited users / central team that will control the maps but it is the most obvious way to stop users accessing the maps.
Hope this helps

Change the amout a scroll bar moves when user uses the mouse wheel?

hi,
i have a JScrollPane, and when a user uses the "wheel" on the mouse, it seems to move up/down 1 line at a time...i would like it to scroll faster basically...so that when the "wheel", the scroll bars move up/down like 5 lines at a time....is there some way to set this value, or how can i do it?
thanks

It looks like it behaves just like if the user had clicked the up or down arrow on the scrollbar, so
I would suggest setting the unit increment on the vertical scroll bar to be 5X its current value. Of
course, this would also increase the amount that gets scrolled when the user clicks on the up
or down arrow. If you don't want that, you'd need to somehow only change the increment on a
mouse wheel event, do the scroll, then change it back. My guess is that you'll need to provide
your own look and feel class to do that.

While using Firefox when I click the mouse or when typing like this I get the Mac spinning color wheel and any action is delayed about 10 seconds.

I'm on an iMac, 10.4, Firefox 3.6.20 and the problem is occurring with greater frequency. When I installed 3.6.20, it ran perfectly for a short time, but now the spinning color wheel happens on almost every mouse click and it makes using Firefox an impossibility. I tried the Apple installed Safari and had no difficulties. It does not occur when I use Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 either. I will appreciate any help because I rely on Firefox. Thanks.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How do make the mouse wheel scroll in my Flex app/component instead of the browser?

Let's say I have a DataGrid or Tree or List component which
has hundreds of rows. When I place my mouse over the component and
scroll the mouse wheel, I notice that [most of the time] it scrolls
the component a little, then starts scrolling the browser window. I
want it to only scroll the component until it reaches the end of
the rows. Any thoughts?

I have confronted the same issue.
Was anybody able to solve it?
I think mx.contorols.TextArea seems to do well.

Fill-In-The-Blank drop-down list in HTML5 output

I'm working in Captivate 7 (WIN) and developing for both SWF and HTML5 output, viewing courses in IE9 for Windows and Safari on iPad.
I have a quiz containing a fill-in-the-blank question, using a drop-down list to select the correct answer, however it does not display the drop-down button or function correctly in HTML5 output (see screenshot).
The issue began after updating to Captivate 7 version 7.0.1.237. The drop-down list worked prior to the update I installed recently. I'm viewing the published course locally and in the LMS, and it does not work in either.
I've not read in the help documents that drop-down list questions are an unsupported question type in HTML5, and so I'm wondering if this is a bug that needs to be reported. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Do you need scoring? There is a Scrolling Text interaction (more control, you can empty the variable and it will be displayed empty) but it is a non-interactive one, no score possible except by adding other interactive objects.

Thanks for your help

Hi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,
