Inserting text from a variable in actionscript

what is it called when you insert text from a variable in actionscript?

Your question is not clear.  There is no specific name for the process of inserting text from a variable that I am aware of.
If you have a dynamic textfield that you have assigned an instance name to, let's say you named it "tField", then to assign a variable called "aVar" to that textfield you would use:
tField.text = aVar;

  • Inserting text from one JTextpane to another

    How do i insert text from one jTextpane to another with the attributes i used in the first. Please help.

    i'm using a defaultstyleddocument. Also.....if u know
    how i can transfer this data through a
    DataOutputStream to another computer.Hi again,
    DefaultstyledDocument uses a tree-structure with classes in it, that implements the Element-Interface to hold the styles. It is very easy to get the plain text, but what you need to transfer a part of text from one JTextPane with DefaultStyledDocument in it to another with the same document-style in it, is a sequence of (string, AttributSet) - pairs, so you are able to insert them in the destination document by the insertString(...)-method.
    It is easy to get the Element by postion from the document and retrieve the Attributset from it that it uses in that position. I guess, an approach would be, to do the following:
    get the Attributset at the start of the text = AttributSet of the pair
    scan the document until the set changes
    extract the string from start to the position right before the set changes = string of the pair
    store the (String,AttributSet)-pair in a Vector
    do this in the same way, but this time the "start" will be the position of the start of the new Attributset that causes the end of the scan above.
    When this is done for the hole text, that is to be transferred, you have a Vector with the String-AttributSet-pairs that you can use to insert them in the other JTextPane by calling the
    insertString(...)-method with this values.
    Tell me, what you are thinking about that - I don't know another method for this and had to create a solution on the fly for you, so that is perhaps not the best way to do it.

    Hi,
    Print the whole stack trace. It will tell you the line which causes the error. How you use clob and blob in oracle is also version dependent. Try to google for
    oracle "your version" java clob example.

  • How to insert text from another software?

    In Photoshop, I need some text with a particular font, which Photoshop doesn't have. I can, however, make it in Word, which has that font. The question is: how do I transfer (or export) that text from Word to Photoshop?

    If you have both Word & Photoshop on the same machine, there could be an issue with the font or the font you are looking for is at the bottom of the font list because of an incorrect header. Did you scroll all the way to the bottom of the font list to see if it was placed in a different catagory?

  • JavaScript: Is there a way to move text from de clipboard to a js variable ?

    Now I use an alternative that is (roughly):
    1. Save the actual insertionPoint (where I want to put the final result)
    2. Create (or use a predefined) textframe off of the page.
    3. Select that textFrame and paste the clipboard contents
    4. Reselect the original insertionPoint and then begin a loop for each
    paragraph:
    5. Apply several procces to the paragraph (this include tokenize the
    input, format and replace of common errors).
    6. Insert the data back to de insertionPoint with apropiate
    paragraphStyles.
    I did'nt place the clipboard text directly into the final textframe because there are content before and after the insertionPoint and not all of the paste text is actually used. I fill better doing the text processing in a separated place and later insert it.
    This method work very well, except for the visual jump to the textFrame and back to the insertionPoint, and the change in the page view position.
    I will be happy if I can place the clipboart text directly into a javascript variable and avoid the creation of an auxilizary textframe.
    Thanks.

    > If this file is text file you can also read the contents of the file
    > into a variable as a string.
    > Process this string and set it as contents of your text frame.
    Yes, I can do that way (I'm considering anyway), but I have a lot of textframes linked across several pages (more than 80 pages in fact) and I have to put the inserted text in diferent places of this multipage linked textframe. And the information a have to put in the document isn't in sequent but scattered along the pages.
    For me is easiest to copy from original file (spreedsheet document) a bunch of selected rows, place the insertionPoint it in the correct place in the document and run the script for generate the data. Next select another rows and repeat the process in other place.
    The other way I'm thinking of is to copy all rows I need (actualy not all rows of the documnt) ignoring the order in which I want it, import into indesign and later copy and paste in correct place.
    Maybe I have to rethink the whole process, but for now it works.
    Thanks anyway

  • JDBC + SERVLET: inserting text data  to access file from Html form

    Hi everybody !
    I'm trying to insert text data from my html form to access database using servlet and jdbc technologies.
    The problem that I'm that the data is TEXT, but not the English language !!!
    So my access db file gets - ???????? symbols instead the real text.
    This is the form line that sending data to my servlet:
    <form
    method="POST"
    ACTION=http://localhost:8080/servlet/myServlet enctype="text/html">
    And this is servlet line that defines response content:
    res.setContentType( "text/html" );
    What can I do to get in access db file the right text format and not a ???????? symbols.
    Maybe I must to ad some <meta ...> , but where ?

    You're dealing with Unicode, I'd guess, and not ASCII.
    I guess I'd have two questions:
    (1) Is the character encoding on your pages set properly for the language you're trying to use?
    (2) Does Access handle Unicode characters?
    Access isn't exacly a world-class database. (If it was, there'd be no reason for M$ to develop SQL Server.) I'd find out if it supports other character sets. If not, you'll have to switch to a more capable database that does. - MOD

  • Selecting text from insertion point

    I want to select all of the text from the insertion point to the end of the file. The instructions I can find for this say to shift-click. I insert the cursor in the text and hold down the shift key and click, and nothing happens. Any suggestions?

    You must shift+click at the position you want to select to. If your cursor is here | and you shift+click here ->, everything from "and" to "here" is selected. So to select from your current position up to the end of a story, set your cursor to the start, scroll to the last visible character of that story (it only works with one continuous story, in multiple connected text frames) and shift+click there. The end of the current story is marked by a # -- visible with "Show Invisible Characters".
    It's easier to use the keyboard for this particular task. Cmd (or Ctrl) + End moves the cursor to the end of the current story, even if it's not visible on screen! (If that's the case, the last text frame has a bright red + on its lower right.) To select from the current position to the end, hold down Shift as well.
    These are the usual mouse operations and keystrokes for selecting text in any text editing app I could think of, on both Windows and Mac.

  • Is it possible to create a Text Variable that uses text from a structure?

    The question is this -
    I have created structure which consists of 4 high-level nodes. Each level one node contains a different number of level 2 nodes. Is it possible to use the text from these nodes in replacement path variables? 
    Example, my structure levels are:
    GS
    SA
    OOI
    COGS
    If a user drills into COGS, I'd like to display the text "COGS" in the header but I have not found a way to capture it. From what I can tell, the variable editor only allows Characteristics and their text/key or user input text. I don't see an option for Structure level/node text.
    Anyone know if this is even possible?
    Thanks!

    HI!,
    I think you should separate programming for AS3 and for FLEX,
    this is beacuse they both use different class packages. If you want
    your classes to be FLEX compatible you need to extend them from
    Flex Objects and not from AS3 Objects.
    In sum, if you want your class to be processed by let's say
    the application object then you need to extend it from
    mx.core.UIObject.
    This is because there are lots of methods that FLEX uses to
    place your class on the screen that are not used by normal AS3
    applications.

  • Help needed badly Insert text data from xml files into tables

    Hi all, I have asked to do insertion of text from a xml file into tables upon receiving using pro*c. i've done quite an amount of research on xml parser in c but there wasn't much information for mi to use for implementation...
    Guys don't mind helping me to clarify few doubts of mine...
    1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?
    2. Is there any tutorials or help files for xml parser libs where i can read up?
    I need the xml parser to recognise the tags, followed by recognising the text after the tags.
    eg. xml format
    <studentID> 0012 </studentID>
    <student> john </student>
    <studentID> 0013 </studentID>
    <student> mary </student>
    text willl be inserted into tables like this:
    studentID | student
    0012 | john
    0013 | mary
    by the way i'm using oracle 8i on HP-UX. Thanks in advance.

    I can answer one of of your questions at least
    1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?You need the XML XDK. You can use http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdkhome.html as your starting point. I believe the 9i version works for 8i.
    I have no pro*c experience so I can't offer any other suggestions regarding how to do this in pro*c.

    So, the 2nd search mysearch always giving first line output above.           , 124 N.J. Eq. 403, 407 (E. & A. 1938)
    If i use the  mySearch[i].contents sometimes it doesn't give the correct result. Since, if gives if other than the case name ends with , and digits. It makes the result totally wrong.

  • Inserting text in variable row table in Powerpoint

    Hi
    In Powerpoint I need to insert text into a table whose number of rows I will know at runtime. How can I insert rows at runtime that I can then reference and insert text into?
    Thanks

    Hi Yahya,
    We can refer to the rows of table in PowerPoint using
    Rows Object (PowerPoint) and use Rows.Add method to insert the row to the sepcfic position we wanted.
    Here is an sample using the

  • Importing Arabic text from an XML file

    Importing text from an XML file to appear as text in Flash
    works in English, however if the text I want to import is in
    Arabic, when I test the movie there is no text at all.
    Is there some particular syntax to preface the Arabic text?
    I'll want to import text from XML in other languages too.
    (French)
    I'd cut and pasted some Arabic text into the XML file that
    displays pictures and text in the "slideshow.fla" (
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/applications/jpeg_slideshow_xml/jpeg_slideshow_xml03.ht ml)
    Substituting Arabic text for English text, editing the XML
    file with Dreamweaver.
    Any ideas as to how I might achieve my objective of importing
    Arabic text into Fash?
    I'd started developing my prototpe in Macromedia Director 7,
    and then Director MX, but I have not found a suitable Arabic font
    that I can embed that will allow me to display Arabic fonts in
    Adobe Director. I have the Arabic text in a Word document.
    I've dicovered that my Flash MX Pro and Dreamweaver both
    support Arabic fonts, but I want to import text from an XML file.
    I'd prefer using cast libraries and cast members, but I don't
    know of an equivalent in Flash to what I'm comfortable with in
    Director.

    Oh so many questions. You probably aren't going to like the
    answers. I have Flash MX04 pro (aka Flash 7) and things made a big
    jump between MX (aka 6) and MX04. If you only have MX, there might
    not be a way to do this. All my advice is based upon MX04 or
    higher.
    It is possible to do complex languages in Flash. My
    experience is with Hindi and I've helped a few folks here with
    Arabic.
    You won't be able to use text from Microsoft Word – at
    least I don't think so. The XML file will need to be saved in the
    UTF-8 format. I think Word uses its own scheme and won't work. But
    I'm not a Word expert. Something like Text Edit (Mac) or WordPad
    (PC) should be able to save a UTF-8 file.
    The next problem is you mention "suitable Arabic font that I
    can embed." AFAIK, you can't embed any of the complex scripts in
    Flash. You just have to rely on the end user having appropriate
    fonts installed and enabled. Most operating systems from 2000 on do
    have this – although some folks like to remove them to save
    space.
    Next issue will be line composing. I've found that when using
    anything above the normal Latin range that Flash suddenly forgets
    how to make a line fit into a text area. It will just break things
    in the middle of words and not even notice the spaces between
    words. I've written a little snippet of code that "composes" the
    lines. It works well with Hindi and folks here have used it with
    Arabic and not come back saying that it doesn't work. Search the
    forums (both the Flash and Actionscript) if you can't find it I'll
    dig it out when I get home.
    So here is the checklist:
    Make sure the XML is saved in UTF-8
    Import the XML file
    In Testing environment go Debug–>List variables.
    Does it show up correctly there?
    Does it show at all in a text field?
    Use the "composer" to make the lines break.
