Global Background Colour with individual Overide Text Boxes

Hi I am looking to apply a global background colour using the details properties.
However I have individual text boxes that have their own background colour based on expressions that I want to overide the global details properites.
So I set up the global one with this expression
IIF(Fields!Number_of_Defendants.Value = 1 ,"Yellow","Transparent")
for the individual text box I used a nested IIF
=IIF(Fields!Bill_Rate.Value = 115,"Red",IIF(Fields!Number_of_Defendants.Value = 1 ,"Yellow","Transparent"))
This works but I'm wondering if their is a easier way so I don't have to have the 2nd clause.
Regards

Hi aivoryuk,
As per my understanding, I think the expression you post is simple way. If you don’t want to use IIF function, I suggest we can try to use switch function as below to achieve the similar requirement:
=Switch(Fields!Bill_Rate.Value = 115,"Red",Fields!Number_of_Defendants.Value = 1 ,"Yellow")
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Has anyone been able to get a mouse scroll wheel to work with a scrolling text box in authorware?

Has anyone been able to get a scroll wheel to work with a
scrolling text box in authorware? Is there any way to attach the
hardware of a scroll wheel to a scrolling text in a piece? Sure
would make things easier for the reader.

I doubt it. Maybe using the WinCtrls.u32? But after a few
tries years
ago (before the WinCtrols.u32), I'd pretty much given up.

Problem with bullets in text boxes

Hi,
I haven't seen this problem written up anywhere but I am
having problems with my text formatting differently in text boxes
when I've used bullets in the text. I am using Captivate 2.
So here's what happens:
If the text caption has a bullet
anywhere in the body, when I publish my captivate course, the text
looks like normal 12 pt Arial.
If there is a text box without any bullets, the text looks
like it was bolded.
The next result is that I have two types of body text
throughout my course.
I went into every slide and verified that there is no other
text formatting going on and I did find that Impact was sometimes
in the same text boxes where I had bullets but I finally got rid of
all the impact. However, the problem remains. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Lin

Hi Lin and welcome to our community
My guess here is that you are using the Transparent caption
type. When you do this, the caption anti-aliases the text inside
and many claim it looks either bold or fuzzy. You have two options.
1. Use Bullets on all captions. Don't worry, you don't have
to actually SEE the bullets. Just press Enter a few times and apply
bullets to one of the blank lines. Then size the caption so the
bullet part is hidden from view.
2. Implement a trick discovered by fellow Adobe Community
Expert Paul Dewhurst. You can see his trick by

Hopefully one of these works for you... Rick

Creating 3 links each with pop-up text box on the same slide

Hi,
I'm trying to create a slide that has 3 links and each link has a pop-up text box. I do not want to separate the pop-up text into separate slides. I have it so that there are 3 click boxes and each have the action "show" the proper text box. I also created another click box that acts as a close button where the action is to hide the pop-up box. I have an extra click box hidden on the page to make sure the user stays on the page and not automatically advance.
Once I have the user click on the first "link" it shows the text box. Once the user clicks the close click box it takes the user to the next slide. I just need it so that it shows the user the pop-up text and then when the user closes the pop-up and returns to showing the 3 options/links. So it basically refreshes the slide instead of going to the next slide.
Thanks,

This will be a little tricky to achieve. This is because per default Adobe has decided that any interactive object (like a button or a click box) that has a user defined action on it (like continue, pause, open URL etc.) automatically continues to play the project when clicked.
Therefore when you click your button it will show your textbox, but it will also continue to play on your timeline.
You can read some more about it here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479725?tstart=0
I did something similar to what you want one time and I just created a bunch of click boxes and made them very small and put them in a corner. The click boxes were placed on the timeline with 0.2 seconds between the pauses. Then I created my "real" buttons to show/hide the text boxes and placed them on the timeline before the other click boxes.
The result is that once a user clicks your button it will show the text caption you want - continue on the timeline and pause at the first click box. When they click another button the same will happen. Just make sure that you have a lot of click boxes (I think I put like 30) and make sure that your navigation button for advancing to the next slide is set to "go to next slide" and not "continue" as that would make it pause at all your click boxes as well.

Issue with creating a text box from a loop

I was hoping someone could take a look at this code and maybe
help me find out why this isnt working. What I am trying to do is:
(NOTE: I have used a few differents scripts and combined them, so
the code may not be the greatest).
Pull Data from a PHP file (The PHP file gets it's data from
database)
Then run a loop that brings in First Name, Last Name, Jersey
Number, and Position
Then before it loops and gets the next player it creates an
array that creates 3 text boxes with Full Name, Jersey Number and
position
then it loops through the process again untill all of the
records have been retreived.
I'm not sure if its because I have a do while loop inside of
a for loop inside of a function and an Array. I'm new to Arrays and
loops. the issue is it wont display the text boxes.
NOTE: When I trace this, the data is being retrieved.
Thanks for the help

"this" inside your onLoad() method refers to your loadvars
instance, receive. and the loadvars class has no createTextField()
method, so you're not going to create any textfields if that code
is in the onLoad() body.
to remedy, reference a timeline instead of receive.

I have a requirement with select and text boxes. JSP / JDBC

I have a Combo Box which iswritten by a JSP by connecting to DB!
When i click on a <option> corresponding the other two text boxes must be loaded with data!
if i have list of EmpID in <select>, in one text box i should get his CITY and other Occupation !
What i thought is .... getting all the data from database. select empid from emp and write a combo and select city,occupation from emp, intp ARRAYLISTs!
function updatData(){
var index=document.projalloc.associateid.selectedIndex;
}if i onSelect=updateData(), (i will get index of empid,as it is a combobox) using which i have to retrieve the values of city and occupation !!
BUT HOW !
I am gettin the index of empid but how to get the data into textbox !!!!

well there are many ways of doing this.
1).Render all the data corresponding to each employee at a time.By making a javascript arrays and try to get back the data from there.
2).Save the ArrayList of DTO beans in the scope of session.Use AJAX call a CGI(Servlet/JSP action) fetch the values from the session render the response as XML now parse the XML data using javascript DOM and then update the consecutive textboxes.
Just as an example checkout my answer in the below post.It was an example given for a dependent drop downs.however, we can definately use the same concept to update textboxes too.

Cannot print document with added barcode text boxes

G'day
I'm adding two text boxes to an illustrator document with Applescript, but when I go to print, ?I get an error 'Cannot print the illustration. The Color Management settings are inconsistent.'
The error message is not error trappable.
I have to barcode thousands of documents a year, and this is a big deal breaker. Is there any fix, please?

G'day Owen, & W_J_T.
Unfortunately your suggestions did not work for me.
I've tried using the GUI to access the print dialog box, but as usual with Adobe, they've stuffed that up too. What I did find however, that the print dialog box recognised keystrokes, and always defaults to the Printer box when opening.
Also, the Printer box sets itself to a matching item of whatever key is pressed, and so does the Printer Preset box.
So, even tho I can't select any given box, provided I have a Printer Preset set, I can access it by the following (slower) method...
activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Adobe Illustrator"
keystroke "p" using command down
keystroke (character 1 of (my theLargePagePrinter as text)) as text
repeat 17 times
keystroke tab
tell current application to delay 0.1
end repeat
keystroke (character 1 of (my theLargePagePrinter as text)) as text
keystroke return
end tell
Note that if you have more than one printer or Printer Preset starting with the same letter, then you'll have to use more than just the first character of your printer name.

New tabs open Google homepage correctly but with cursor in text box rather than search box.

I have Google as my home page. When I open Firefox 7.0.1 the Google home page opens correctly with the cursor in the search box. I have set new tabs to also open in the home page. New tabs do open in Google but with the cursor in the text box rather than the search box. As I recall, this didn't happen before upgrading to 7.0.1 (actually, I think that I was using a tab configuration plug-in that may have been nuked in the Firefox update). This is driving me crazy, is there a solution for 7.0.1?

Setting Background Colour with a Value Retrieved from a Database

I'm retrieving different colours from a database and I want
to set the background colour of a canvas to the colour retrieved.
I've tried doing the following:
<mx:TileList
x="2" y="237"
direction="horizontal"
dataProvider="{MakeUpColours.lastResult.Colour}"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"
width="288" height="167.04999"
themeColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Canvas width="35" height="35">
<mx:Canvas width="30" height="30" x="5" y="5"
backgroundColor="{data.ColourNo}">
<mx:Image source="
http://localhost/Flex/Personalised%20Palettes-debug/{data.@PictureSrc}"/>
<mx:Label text="{data.@ColourNo}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:TileList>
But it just makes the background colour black. Any
suggestions?
Thanks

You're referring to both data.@ColourNo and data.ColourNo. Is
it an
attribute or an element?

Changing background colour with hex code?

Hi, i want to change the background colour of my documents. So far i can only find 1 way of doing it by going file > document setup then chaning the colour under transparency. I have two problems with this though. First, it seems to only change the colour in illustrator and not the actual image when saved/printed etc. And secondly i need to change the colour to a specific hex colour and i'm at a loss of how to do this.
I have done a little searching on this but so far i seem to be failing at finding the answer. Anyone help?

E'ss,
First, it seems to only change the colour in illustrator and not the actual image when saved/printed etc.
That is because it is only something like a simulation of coloured paper, so you can see what it looks like when printed on such paper. In other words, it is not part of the artwork and therefore not transferred.
And secondly i need to change the colour to a specific hex colour and i'm at a loss of how to do this.
When you set the colour, one option is RGB which is an equivalent to the hex colour. To find the right RGB combination without having to remember/calculate it, you may do as follows:
1) Create a rectangle (or whatever);
2) In the Color palette/panel flyout choose Web Safe RGB and insert the desired hex colour (the first two characters as R, the next two as G, and the last two as B);
3) Switch to (normal) RGB and read the values to use.

JFrame background colour, with LookAndFeel

Dear All:
I am using frame for my java application. No matter what background colour I set, it won;t change on the screen? I dont really know why this is the case.
Today, When I move my program to another PC, the jframe color, button style, changes completely! I don't know what is going on.
Is it something to do with lookAndFeel

Hi
Try adding the following to change the background colour of the jFrame
it needs to be after the component has initialised.
colour can be changed to suit
this.getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(218,208,200)); // this is needed to set the background of the jFrame

I guess you have to override the stylesheet that is set by the Portal for the Web Dynpro application.
Have a look at the properties of your WD iView.

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

Setting a global/default background colour?

Hi,
Is there a way in which I can set all objects in my program to have the same background colour with a global command, rather than have to do it for every single object seperately.
Dave.

Thats sounds about right, but come to think of it, I
dont want to set ALL components to the same backround
colour. I want to keep things like certain buttons
the same.What do you mean certain buttons ? With a Look and Feel class you can set the colors for ALL the buttons the same , and all the colors for say the text components the same , but if you want some buttons a certain color and other buttons another color I would Make my own button , say ColorButton that extends JButton, and then you pass a Color in the constructer and set se color ... Something like that ??
