Insert Script Object?

In Acrobat Pro you can create a document script as follows:
function Hello()
app.alert("Hello World")
And call this Hello.
If you create button on the page then create an action on Mouse Up Run a JavaScript which looks like this:
Hello();
A message box appears saying Hello World click OK and press the button and it keeps coming back.
Now in Designer this is a little different.
I create a new page, insert a script object rename it to Hello and type:
function Hello()
app.alert("Hello World")
I then create a button and on the mouse up action type;
Hello();
If I try this I get the following mesaage:
TypeError: Hello is not a function
1:XFA:form1[0]:#subform[0]:Button1[0]:mouseUp
Why is it so?
Even removing the script object and going to the Form properties Variables tab and entering the function script there does not seem to work.

Thanks Steve,
It works without a hitch. Im still getting my head around JavaScript and 2 weeks, 6 hours a day of reading and testing and reading is slowly getting clearer I think.
Just to make sure Im getting this clear in my head. The way I had the script before was when it was applied to the field that showed the value it was referring to this as the field itself. So it worked not worries because it was point to the itself.
When I tried to apply the same script in a script object field (variables) that the whole documents can reference it was only in as a variable. The line form1.variables.setTotals.Totals(); did not do anything because it did not see the totals as a function and refer to it, and as a result nothing would appear in the filed. By adding obj to the script it tells the form that its an object and the objects formula is spei1 + spei2. This now means that the script can be applied to any filed and that is where form1.variables.setTotals.Totals(this); comes in. It tells the filed apply the object (Totals [spei1 + spei2] ) to this filed.
Does this mean that any script placed in the Variables field needs to be referred to as objects?
The reason I was taking this approach was to resolve a problem posted earlier.
I thought by having the script as a script object that was applied to the document rather than the field it would update the other fields that refer to it. Which I now realize will not happen. Could you suggest a conditional statement that I could put in to:
If special item 1 = $12.00 the result in the total = $12.00. If I then click on one of the fields in the special column say in Monday for example the result should be $12.00. If I then decide to enter another $12.00 in special item 2 the total will now be $24.00 but the Monday result will still say $12.00.
Is there a way to have it check that it the figure which may appear in the Special column, to update that result as well?
Should I be look at a message box instead telling the user there is a difference and for them to re-click on the Monday field to update it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards, John.

  • Importing Script Object

    Is it possible to make a Script Object part of the library in order for quick drag-and-drop additions to forms?

    I don't know what you're doing wrong. It works for me. The subform acts as a wrapper so that you can add the script object to the custom library.
    - From the library tab, drag a subform onto your form.
    - In the hierarchy tab, right click the subform that you just added and click "insert script object"
    - Put your code in the script object.
    - Drag the subform from the Design View (not the hierarchy) to the Custom library tab for sharing/reuse.
    - In the hierarchy, move the script object from the subform node to the page node
    - Delete the subform.
    To use the script object.
    - Drag the custom subform onto the Design View
    - In the hierarchy, move the script object under the page node
    - Delete the subform.

  • Script Objects

    Hi,
    I create scripts Objects for a form and it works.
    I create scripts Objects for an other one and it doesn't work, however it is the same Objects.
    In my subform I click on Insert Script Object and rename it "format". I create two functions :
    function test(){
    xfa.host.messageBox("hello");
    and
    function minMajLogin(tfield){ //(Met les deux premières lettres du login en majuscules et le reste en minuscules)
    xfa.host.messageBox("hop");
    var chaine;
    var majuscule;
    chaine = tfield.rawValue.toLowerCase();
    majuscule = chaine.substr(0,2);
    majuscule = majuscule.toUpperCase();
    chaine = chaine.substr(2,chaine.length);
    tfield.rawValue = chaine;
    I call them with : format.test(); and format.minMajLogin(this);
    My form is a dynamic pdf form, the language is javascript and it runs at client.
    Can you help me ?
    Thank You

    I copied and pasted your functions and they work for me. If you are runing acrobat you can hit the Ctrl-J key to show a javascript console and see if there is an error generated.
    If you post your email address I can email back the working example I created.

  • Using a script object

    Hi,
    I have beginner skills using LC Designer ES and am trying to insert and use a script object. I found a JavaScript function online: http://home.online.no/~pjacklam/notes/invnorm/impl/misra/normsinv.html and am trying to get it to do some math calculations in a Designer form.
    I've uploaded a sample test form at: http://elearningprojects.com/TestFormula1.pdf
    Can't get it to work.Trying to run the JS formula in the script object (by clicking on a button), using a few hard-coded variables, and display the results (Dprime1 and Dprime2) in 2 text fields.
    I would much appreciate if someone can take a look and suggest how to get it working correctly.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Paul,
    Thank you for your reply and suggestions. With beginner skills in LC Designer (I'm a retired social worker), I am not sure how to do this.
    Is my identifying the script object path correct?
    form1.#subform[0].#variables[0].SO1.function_name(NORMSINV(p));
    When you say "You are calling this function a few times in your code so you will have to modify each call." I am not sure how to change this.
    I currently have (note that I added the SO1. to the function calls):
    var p = totalscore5
    var probit1 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
    var p = totalscore6
    var probit2 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
    var Dprime1 = probit1-probit2
    var p = totalscore8
    var probit3 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
    var p = totalscore7
    var probit4 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
    var Dprime2 = probit3-probit4
    Can you specify what a modified script would look like? I'm stuck.
    Also, have I set up displaying the Dprime1 variable's value in the TextField1 correctly?
    Thanks very much for your help.

  • Ole2 question about inserting document object in Word

    I thought I had it figured out but it doesn't seem to work. From a Oracle Forms 6i application, I want to insert an object(a file) in a word document as an icon.
    The vb code generated when I record the macro of inserting an object as an icon is:
    Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject ClassType:="Word.Document.8", FileName _
    :="string defining the location of the file object", LinkToFile:=False _
    , DisplayAsIcon:=True, IconFileName:= _
    "C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0050048383C9}\wordicon.exe" _
    , IconIndex:=1, IconLabel:= _
    "string defining the location of the file object"
    Using this I wrote the following code: ( I am leaving out the declaration of the ole2.obj_type and other variables)
    args := ole2.create_arglist;
    ole2.add_arg (args, 'string defining the location of the file object');
    hinlineshapes :=
    ole2.get_obj_property (hselection, 'InlineShapes');
    ole2.invoke (hinlineshapes
    ,'AddOLEObject'
    ,args
    ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
    holeformat := ole2.get_obj_property (hinlineshapes, 'OLEFormat');
    ole2.set_property (holeformat
    ,'ClassType'
    ,'Word.Document.8'
    ole2.set_property (holeformat
    ,'DisplayAsIcon'
    ,TRUE
    ole2.set_property (holeformat
    ,'IconLabel'
    ,'string defining the location of the file object'
    When I run the code I get the following message from MS Word:
    " This object was created in 'string defining the location of the file object'.
    This application is not available to open this object.
    Make sure the application is properly installed and that it has not deleted, moved or renamed."
    Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

    Second, when it inserts the date, it makes it an "update automatically" date that updates to the current time every time I open the document
    Sure, that's because you specifically tell it to. Your script inserts a 'new field' which is analogous to Word's dynamic text objects (date, time, page number, etc.)
    Instead, what you want to do is insert an actual string of characters - sure, to you and I that string of characters might look like a date and time, but to Word it's nothing more than a series of characters.
    For that we can fall back on AppleScript's date features, specifically current date, like:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
      tell selection
        type text text "Left message " & (current date as text)
      end tell
    end tell
    Note that current date as text returns a rather verbose form of the date. If that's too much for you there are alternate options, such as:
    short date string of (current date) & space & time string of (current date)
    which will look more like: "6/10/10 3:26:50 PM"
    But there is also a myriad of other ways (with seconds, without seconds, 12/24 hr, etc.) depending on what you want.
    Third, if possible, I would also like it to be in italics.
    I'll have to look at that one, unless someone else beats me to it.

    Hi Techies,
    I have 8 tables in my designer
    and I have two contexts at designer level
    And how to insert a object into a context that is not referencing any table.
    For Example I have an object like "rownum" (Which should must be added at Universe level only not at report level). Here this object is not referencing any table and I want this to be used in a query where the remaining objects are coming from the context..

  • Is there better way to write SQl Insert Script

    I am running out of ideas while working on one scenario and thought you guys would be able to guide me in right way.
    So, the scenario is I have a Table table1 table1(fieldkey, DisplayName, type) fieldkey - pkey   This table have n number of rows. The value of fieldkey in nth row is n. So if we have 1000 record, then the last row has a fieldkey = 1000.
    Below is my sample data.
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    (1001, 'COfficer',100);
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    (1002, 'PData',100);
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    (1003, 'EDate',100);
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    (1004, 'PData',200);
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    (1005, 'EDate',300);
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    (1006, 'Owner',400);This way of inserting the row with hardcoded value of fieldkey was creating the problem when the same table was used by other developer for their own new functionality.
    So, I thought of using the max(fieldkey) +1 from that table and use it in my insert script. This script file runs every time during software installation.
    I thought of using count to see if the row with same displaytype and type exists in that table or not. If exisits do not insert new row, if not insert new row.
    It looks like i will have to query the count statement everytime before I insert the row.
    select max(fieldkey) +1 into ll_fieldkey from table1
    select count(*) into ll_count from table1 where display ltrim(upper(name)) = 'COFFICER' and type =100)
    if ll_count >0 then
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    ( ll_fieldkey, 'COfficer',100);
    ll_fieldkey := ll_fieldkey +1
    end if;
    select count(*) into ll_count from table1 where display ltrim(upper(name)) = 'PData' and type =100)
    if ll_count >0 then
    Insert into table1 (FIELDKEY,DISPLAYNAME,TYPE) values
    ( ll_fieldkey, 'PData',100);
    ll_fieldkey := ll_fieldkey +1
    end if;
    ... and so on for all the insert statement. So, i was wondering if there is some better way to handle this situation of inserting the data.
    Thank you

    Hi !
    For check if the same display name and type already exists in table i would use Unique Key , but then again instead of if statement you should code some exception handlers. ... Hm .. Unque key is by may opinion better solution as
    codeing checks .
    For faster inserts that is , smaller code .. if there is no rules for values and the values are fixed , in any case you have to do this 100 inserts. If you can "calculate" values then maybe you can figure out some code .. but effect will be the same as hundred insert stetements one after another .. Procedure with this 100 inserts is not so bad solution.
    You can fill with values a nested table and then use forall ... save exceptions insert and with above mentioned UK , maybe this will be better.

  • Acrobat standard 9.0 error while enabling commets option using Java script object

    I'm using the below java script code in my VB 6.0 application for enabling commets options in the PDF file
    Dim oJSO As Object
    Set oJSO = mPDDoc.GetJSObject
    oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
    It is working fine till Acrobat 8.0. Now I'm trying with Acrobat 9.0 standard edition, it is throwing scripting error 'An unhandled Win32 exception occured in Acrobat.exe[308].
    Can anyone suggest the way to enable 'comment' options in Acrobat Standard 9.0 using Java Script Object?
    Thanks

    I get much the same problem with VB6, Acrobat 9 Pro and WinXP SP3. When I single step the line:
    oJSO.Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True
    in debug I go to the error handler for my Sub. Inspecting the VB Err object has Number = -2147417851 and Description = "Automation error
    The server threw an exception." I get a Microsoft crash notice about Acrobat a short while later.
    I've experimented with the JavaScript debugger in Acrobat and you can execute Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab = True and reference the value of Collab.showAnnotToolsWhenNoCollab in the console. The problem appears only when accessing Acrobat Javascript through the Interapplication Communication API.
    If anyone can help it would be appreciated. I tried Adobe's Acrobat support and they were no help at all.

  • Insert ActiveX Object - not in list

    Hi, guys.
    After one time, I'm not able to install by myself ActiveX controls and embed these controls into ActiveX containers yet. I refer to ActiveX controls that can be embedded into ActiveX containers, not those used to instantiate other applications.
    I want a certain ActiveX Control to be displayed in an ActiveX Container on the Front Panel. In this particular case, it's a Mozilla Firefox ActiveX Control. According to http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/activex-firefox-and-mozilla/td-p/356235 (see message 5), after getting the component from the link provided and installing it, I should be able to insert onto the empty ActiveX Container by clicking over it and selecting "Insert ActiveX Object...". In this case, "MozillaBrowser class" should appear in the list, but not.
    However, if I place a Property Node or Invoke Node without reference on the Block Diagram, click on it, then "Select Class" -> "ActiveX" -> "Browse", I find the class "MozillaControl 1.0 Type Library Version 1.0", that, among others, it contains the class "IWebBrowser2". This class happens to be called "MOZILLACONTROLLib.IWebBrowser2". But, once I have the Property Node or Invoke Node, I can't create the container from it (create control from its reference) neither place an empty ActiveX container and wire its reference to the Property Node.
    I also tried registering the ActiveX Control, by typing "regsvr32 <control_name.dll>" in the command prompt, but nothing changes.
    But this doesn't happen to me only with this particular ActiveX control. Every time I want to find in the list a certain ActiveX component after installing it, I can't find it, and I end up copying ActiveX container blocks from VI examples I found on the forums... One example is using AcroPDF ActiveX Control.
    Any suggestion? Has anybody faced the same problem?

    Francisco

  • How to reference JavaScript functions stored in a script object on a different page?

    Hi,
    I have a form which has 2 pages. I have a bunch of JavaScript functions under script objects on page 1. How can I access these functions from page 2?
    I tried the following but none of it work:
    form1.page2.#variables[0].testScript.doThisNow();
    form1.page2.variables[0].testScript.doThisNow();
    form1.page2.variables.testScript.doThisNow();
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Simplest way would be to drag the script object to be under the root node (form1). On both pages would would then be able to reference the function by:
    testScript.doThisNow();
    If you leave the script object under page1, then from page2, the following should work:
    page1.testScript.doThisNow();
    Hope that helps,

  • How to make an insert script for CLOB data types?

    I need to have an insert script for Oracle 11g where I insert large texts into a CLOB field
    I exported data from a source table using TOAD's export dataset and the insert statements option, so it generates a script of just simple insert into statements with the clob strings in the values clause within single quotes.
    While most of the inserts succeed, several fail with the error: string literal too long
    How can I insert long texts into clobs?
    One workaround I was considering, is maybe breaking up those inserts which are too big, so that it inserts a chunk, and then does an update to append additional chunks? not sure if that would work either
    first wanted to get any ideas from the oracle experts here in case there is a much easier, non-manual labor intensive way.

    Thank you for that informative link, Raj
    I wouldn't be able to use SQL Loader for this though, this is something that gets submitted to a DBA in a request and it must be in a script that can be run in Sql Plus, and it cannot pull it from a table or file.

  • When using Windows MS Word, you can insert an object such as a video into your document - can anyone tell me how to do that with Pages on an iPad please?  Thanks!

    Hi
    When I was a PC user, I could insert an object such as a video into my MS Word document - and it would appear as an icon, which when clicked, would begin to play the video.
    I find that I cannot insert such videos/movies into my Pages document on my iPad, but maybe I am missing something, being new to the Apple way of doing things?:)  Would appreciate any help, thanks!

    "maybe I am missing something"
    Maybe you are.
    This forum/community is named "AppleWorks" because it is intended to discuss issues and techniques involving the now discontinued Apple productivity application AppleWorks.
    Your question concerns Pages, and specifically, Pages for iOS, the version that runs on iPad (and other iOS devices).
    Admittedly, the Pages for iOS community is difficult to locate. It's rolled in with the other iWork applications in a community named iWork for iOS, where you'll find several people willing and able to answer your question. The link will take you there.
