How to maintain focus in input text box?

I am a complete newbie with Flash MX, ActionScript, and
everything in between. So here's my situation.
I want to make it so the user has to type in a password to
move forward with the Flash presentation. When he presses OK, it
takes him to further into the presentation (i.e. Frame 20).
On my login screen, I have a couple of layers that are
animated. Thus, I need these animations to keep looping. So what
did I do? At the end of the animation, I put in code to
GotoAndPlay(1).
Now here's the problem... When someone's trying to type in
the password, when it loops (Gotoandplay), the input box loses
focus. To remedy this situation, for frame 1, I put in the code:
Selection.setFocus("txtPassword").
What happens? Everytime it sets focus, everything gets
highlighted in the input text field.
As you can imagine, it is a headache for anyone who is trying
to type in the password because every few seconds, the whole thing
gets highlighted and he accidently types over it.
Any suggestions?

1. copy the frames of your looping animation.
2. create a new movieclip and paste those copied frames onto
this movieclip's timeline
3. from your library drag a copy of the above movieclip to
frame 1 of your main timeline and attach a stop() to that frame.
4. place your login textfield and ok button on frame 1 of
your main timeline.
5. when ok is pressed (and login) passes some condition
direct your main timeline to frame 20.

How to disply the input text box when the data in the table is empty

Hi,
I m using JDeveloper 11g 5.1.1.1 : How to display the Input text box when the data in the table is empty or by using the dual table.
Since there is no record in the table, screen is displying only the lable. not displying the Input text box.? Any property is there to enable?.
One more case i tried by using dual (eg Select '0' as name from dual) created one view object and dragged in the JSF screen as input combo box with list of values.
In this case also it is not displaying the combo box.Just displaying the Lable name and 0 only.

ADF 11g + How to capture the value of a dynamically created input text box

Hi All,
I have a requirement where, on selection of the value in a drop down, the input text boxes need to get dynamically populated on the JSPX page. I'm able to bring this functionality, and it is working fine.
But the challenge right now I'm facing is that, how to read/capture the value entered in those dynamic text boxes on submission of the page. Please help me in getting this resolved.
Below is the code snippet I'm using for this.
// Clearing the existing input fields in the Panel form
while (pf100.getChildren().iterator().hasNext()) {
pf100.getChildren().remove(pf100.getChildren().iterator().next());
// Creating the new fields based on the number of IP addresses selected
for (int i = 0; i < iIPAddress; i++) {
RichInputText pcPreferredDomain = new RichInputText();
pcPreferredDomain.setLabel("Preferred Domain / Hostname for Desktop PC/ Laptop - " +
(i + 1));
pcPreferredDomain.setColumns(40);
pcPreferredDomain.setId("pcpfdomain" + (i + 1));
pf100.getChildren().add(pcPreferredDomain);
Thanks All in Advance,
Thanks & Regards,
Dharmathej M

As per your method, you are creating the RichInputText components as local variables.
What happens when you are creating them as class level variables in the managed bean, if you do so, you can refer to the values of the UI components in the actionListener/action code for the command button in the managed bean
sample:
public class ManagedBean{
RichInputText [] pcPreferredDomain;
public ManagedBean(){
// Clearing the existing input fields in the Panel form
while (pf100.getChildren().iterator().hasNext()) {
pf100.getChildren().remove(pf100.getChildren().iterator().next());
pcPreferredDomain = new RichInputText[iIPAddress];
// Creating the new fields based on the number of IP addresses selected
for (int i = 0; i < iIPAddress; i++) {
pcPreferredDomain[i] = new RichInputText();
pcPreferredDomain.setLabel("Preferred Domain / Hostname for Desktop PC/ Laptop - " +
(i + 1));
pcPreferredDomain.setColumns(40);
pcPreferredDomain.setId("pcpfdomain" + (i + 1));
pf100.getChildren().add(pcPreferredDomain);

Hidden password in input text box

How do I hide the letters in a password input text box. I
have an input text box for the viewer to type in a password and
would like the password to not show when typed in, like is the case
with html text boxes, where you just see a bullet for each letter
in the password. How would I do this? Is there a font I could use?
Thanks for any help with this.

Select the Input text object on the stage. In the Properies
window, select the pulldown at the bottom center, it probably says,
"Single line". Select "Password". You can then get the actual text
that the user types in by asking for the instance name's text value
or the variable's value for that Input text field. Be sure to embed
the font that you want to use.

Can we hide the real value of input text box and show other value in ADF?

Hi All,
I have a table in which i have one the column as "Quantity" and text box as "quantity" :-
<af:column sortProperty="quantity" filterable="true"
sortable="true" headerText="Quantity" id="c3"
width="60"
rendered="#{row.bindings.booleanFlag.inputValue != 'E'}"
filterFeatures="caseInsensitive">
<div align="center">
*<af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.quantity.inputValue}"*
label="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.label}"
required="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.displayWidth}"
maximumLength="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.precision}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.tooltip}"
id="it5" partialTriggers="it19"
readOnly="#{row.activeYN == 'N'}">
<f:validator binding="#{row.bindings.quantity.validator}"/>
<af:validateRegExp pattern="^[1-9]+[0-9]*$"
messageDetailNoMatch="Quantity must be in whole number format."/>
</af:inputText>
</div>
</af:column>
Now when the user will enter say 400 in input text box "quantity" , the value should be divided in the same row to other column text box say "conversion" which holds the value as 40 , so if the division doesn't give any remainder(means remainder =0 ) means real value(400/40) = 10 then it should set the value of input text box "quantity" as 10 but the user should be able to see 400 which he/she entered before, as we want to send the 10 as request but we have to show 400 to the user and if remainder goes greater than 1 than it should show an error.
I have to implement this in value change listener of the text box as i need to calculate the real value each time for a row.
How should i implement this ?
Thanks .
Thanks.

Thanks timo,
But can you give me full details how should i implement this as i am newbie to ADF. I have found the data control in Data controls tab in left hand side and right click on it -> edit definition -> but it does not give me the option to add attribute , it just give me the option to edit the existing attribute. Can you explain me how to add the transient attribute and how to implement it ? Any sample code snippet ?
Thanks.

when i hit preview i cant see the input text box. it gets hidden for no reason
i am not using Dynamic visibility
i have no other component in my dashboard except Input Text component. i have just started

Hi,
Create a new dashboard and test as follows:
1. Give some background color on the input box and then preview to check.
2. Check whether you have marked for HIDE in the Object Browser for that input box.
With best wishes

myTree.addEventListener("change",myTreeListener)

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available: Text (plain) and Paragraph. (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
air for android only work with AS3,
the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
(it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
    submit.onRelease = function() {
        switch (yourname.text) {
        case "name1" :
            gotoAndStop(2);
            break;
        case "name2" :
            gotoAndStop(3);
            break;
My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

you should use the default option in the switch statement
that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                              switch (yourname.text)
                                        case "name1":
                                                  gotoAndStop(2);
                                                  break;
                                        case "name2":
                                                  gotoAndStop(3);
                                                  break;
                                        default:
                                                  goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                        break;

SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

Hi there,
Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
Thanks,

Hi，
Per my knowledge,
it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

How to include unicode chars in text boxes?

Hi,
We need the unicode chars (for example: Chinese, Korean, etc...) to appear in the generated .pdf and .pcl files from the Adobe Output designer's IFD file.
These chars are static and will not change, so we shall not be fetching them from FNF file (.dat).
While trying to copy-paste directly into text box field, we are getting an error prompting for converting them to some other character set.
We couldn't paste them exactly with the text how they should appear in the text boxes.
Please tell us if there is a way to achieve this.
Thanks and regards,

Double check that all of the selected presentation targets and the font being used for the particular text box supports the characters you are trying to paste into it. For example, the PDF target only has 11 fonts available unless you use the other tabs to "create new soft font cartidges". If you have the appropriate fonts installed on you PC you should be able to use this capability to make the font available for each of your presentation targets. (At least that is my impression - I've never needed to try it.)

How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
Without free hand creating the sizing?

Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.
