How to add text animator to text layer in script?

Hello,
I'm a beginner in scripting and trying to create a script to apply set of expression control and text animator.
I want to add text animator property to selected layer, however I keep having error with the codes below.
selectedLayers[0].Text.Animators.addProperty("ADBE Text Animator");
selectedLayers[0].Text.Animators.addProperty("ADBE Text Position"); //error on this line
What is the correct code?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Dan, that works!
However, I hit another road block. I tried to add a range selector under the animator group with the codes below and both returned error.
myAnim.property("ADBE Text Animator Properties").addSelector("ADBE Text Range Selector");
myAnim.property("ADBE Text Animator Properties").addProperty("ADBE Text Range Selector");
After reading this post. how to access text proprety
Its seem text animator has different codes for accessing different properties.
I've searched on the Adobe scripting guide and couldn't find the exact code for the property (e.g. ADBE Text Position 3D ).
It would be much appreciated If anyone could recommend a scripting book for After Effects.
Thanks.

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much - it works!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?

For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text.

How to add supercripts in a text field

How to add superscripts symbols like copyright,trademark and registered symbols in a static text field in the Livecycle designer 8.2?

You can copy-and-paste special characters directly into a text object from a text editor such as MS Word. Alternatively, you can insert the hex character reference into the XML source for the applicable text object instance. For example, to add a copyright symbol, go to the XML Source tab and insert the reference © into the XML node <value><text>Foobar©</text></value>.

How do I show animation of text automatically during the Capture using Captivate 6?

would like to demonstrate text entry in a web text field but after capture, preview of slide 1 shows the blank text field, slide 2 shows all of the text I typed into text field box all at once, doesn't showing actual typing . Would like slide 2 to show is me actually typing the words into the search box. It doesn't; it just shows all the words at one time. What am I doing wrong?

My last answer today, want to go to bed (11pm), very tired.
Choose Insert, Text Animation. Default style is Aquarium, but if you scroll down in the long list you'll find Typing Text and it is working very well (tested it before answering).
FMR = Full Motion Recording. When using Automatic Capture, and have a scrolling or dragging movement, CP will switch automatically to FMR and you get sort of a video slide (red line in the axis of the timeline of that slide). A tip: default setting is 16-bit which gives an awful quality, change it immediately to 32-bit (Preferences, Recording, Video Demo - don't worry setting is used both for Video Demo and FMR). It is the only situation where FMR, which was the only video possible in previous versions, is still used. A better quality can be had with the new Video Demo mode for a recording slide but work flow is a bit more cumbersome because you have to stop the Automatic capture (being aware when CP should switch to FMR), then insert a Recording Slide, Video Demo, and then add additional Automatic Capture slides.

How to add music/ audio to text/ mms messages on iPhone 5?

There is not a way to add audio/ music to text/mms messages similar to adding a picture.

To a standard SMS text message, no there isn't. For MMS it would depend on what multimedia your carrier supports. For anything that is not storted in the Photo app (images, video files), you add them to the Message using the camera icon. For anything else, you would start in the app that contains the file, and use the Share function (if available). The Voice Memos app does this for example. Third party apps would vary in terms of having this feature and how it is accessed.

TouchUp: How to add an underline to text that is not underlined?

The subject says it all, how do I use the TouchUp tool(s) to add an underline to text that is not underlined?

There is an "underline" annotation available for the Comment & Markup toolbar.
First, open the Comment & Markup toolbar.
This will let you observe the addition of the Underline annotation.
You want to access the "More Tools" dialog.
There are various ways to get to it.
--| Place the mouse cursor in the tools icon 'ribbon' over in the empty space at the right.
Right click for the context menu. Select "More Tools".
--| Select Tools > Customize Toolbars
With the More Tools dialog presented, scroll down some to view the 'Comment & Markup Toolbar' choices.
The default toolbar does not show:
Underline Text Tool, Cross Out Text Took, Attach a File as a Comment, Record Audio Comment, and some others.
So, select the Underline Text Tool.
Close the dialog. The Underline Text Tool is now part of the Comment & Markup Toolbar.
The toolbar selections, from "More Tools", is sticky.
The Properties dialog for the Underline Text Tool permits configuration selections such as:
– underline style of straight | squiggly
– color
– Opacity
At the bottom of the tool's Properties dialog you can tick the selection "Make Properties Default".
As with other annotations, there is a pop-up note available for entering information.
Be well...

How to add a quicktime file to a shake script?

Hi I just purchased Shake 4.1 and can't figure out for the life of me how to add another quicktime file as a node in a script I am working on.
Example:
The source node file I sent from FCP which I need to key and add the background image to.
How do I add the bg image?
Also does it have to be a image or can it be a movie file?

How to add invisible but searchable text

As a workaround for the limited text formatting options offered by Dreamweaver, I normally create an entire web page in Photoshop and save it as a .jpg image which I then insert into a blank Dreamweaver document. This method works well except for one thing: the text is not visible to Google because it is part of the image. I realize that I could add the main text in Dreamweaver, but the end result is not as aesthetically pleasing. So here's my question:
Is there a way to paste the real text into a hidden field that will be seen by Google? For example, can I insert this text as a comment? And if so, is there a limit to how much text a comment can contain? As I understand it, comments are only visible in Code view, so they might fill the bill if Google can see them. Suggestions appreciated.

THAT design needs to be an image?
the ONLY thing that needs to be an image is the portrait and the site background.
the rest can easily be done with css
id structure the html something like this
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="singlecol">
<img src="image.jpg" alt="image">
<cite>Quote</cite>
<address>address</address>
</div>
<div id="doublecol">
<h1> Name</h1>
<h2>Subtitle</h2>
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Individual Therapy</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Relationships</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Page title</h3>
<cite>quote</cite>
<p>
page content
</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
copyright notice
</div>
</div>
</body>
now for your css
you'll be able to get the font details from your psd simple enough (eg.
font-family
font-size
font-weight
line-height
letter-spacing
text-align
color
etc etc)
for h1, h2, h3
p
cite and
address
#nav li
#nav li a
#nav li a:hover
(google how to make a nav with an unordered list)
the divs and background will require some thought but it isnt a complicated layout and could be replicated quite easily.
body
#wrapper
#singlecol
#doublecol
#footer

Mobile
kindly help me.

Hi J Sathish Kumar,
From your description, it seems that you have a RichEdit Box control and you want to add a hyperlink feature to your RichEditBox control. Could you tell us what type project do you want to use, windows form, WPF or native MFC?
For using windows form and WPF, you should be easy to find some ways to achieve your goal on the web. For example,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/435607/c-sharp-how-can-i-make-a-hyperlink-work-in-a-richtextbox
For using native MFC, you may need to get the text range, add the underline,change the text color and use wm_notify to notify the parent windows about a click on a hyperlink.
I make a quick research on the web, and I find this should helpful for this issue.

How to add double stroke to text or an object?

I have illustrator 10 (MAC). Wondering the easiest way to add a double stroke to text or an object? Also, how can I move the stroke so its not necessarily on the outside of text? Was thinking more of an outline with separation between the two colors on the double stroke. Thanks

I'm not really an expert in user-land Illustrator so I'm not always up-to-speed on the terminology -- what do you mean by 'double stroke'?
Assuming you're talking about doing this in code, I *might* be able to help you on this but it's been a couple of years since I used the pre-CS text engine. I'd be more likely to be able to help you if this was CS+, but I can try.
If you're talking about doing it through the GUI as a user, I'm the last guy you want to ask :)
