Linked text boxes and flowing text in iBooks Author

Flowing text from 1 text box to another works perfectly and pages are automatically added when needed, but what happen if you need 2 separated flowing text boxes?
For example one with italian text on the left side and one for english on the right side of the same page?
No way to have 2 flowing text box on the same page!!
Because of the tag "body", you can use it only once in the page! No other tags "body2", or "bodyITA" can be added to create a parallel flowing box text on the same page.
Somebody has an idea for that.
Of course the only possible solution at the moment is create in sequence: Flowing Italian text and, at the end of italian add the english flowing text.....This is a touch books about a museum and people around the wordl need to see immediately the text without foldin pages with another language to reach the correct one!
Thanks in advance for your reply.
I apologize for my bad english.

You can use standard password security to allow form filling but disallow commenting, which includes adding text boxes.

How do i change the color of text boxes and the texts that i enter in them?

I recently changed my system's color settings and now the text boxes in Firefox are dark grey. This is fine when the text happens to show up as white, but when it shows up as black, I can't read what I'm typing. (I'm not clear on what makes the difference. The box I'm typing this in now happens to be dark grey with white text.) I've tried playing around with settings within Firefox preferences and in my OS' (Kubuntu) system settings, and haven't yet been able to identify what settings exactly might change this specific aspect.

Two possible ways are available
Set the text with and html text string like "<html>" + text + "</html>"
or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

Text Boxes and Lines on Full Screen Images?

In iBooks Author I'm trying to create images with text boxes and lines overlayed on top of the images (I don't like the interactive image widget, I want just text with no gray box and a single line of text, no need for title and description, also don't need the zoom capability on each label). I can do this fine in a basic, two column layout but when I tap on an image within a figure to see it full screen on the iPad I want the text and lines to also come full screen. Any ideas? I seemed to have a solution by enabling placeholder text authoring but that's proven inconsistent.

Sound like a 'group'.
Whatever works
Good luck

ITunes store is all blank boxes and blue text. How do I fix that?

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and when I tried to access the iTunes store, 1) it takes FOREVER to come up, 2) it doesn't come up most of the time and is a blank white screen instead 3) when it does come up, it is a bunch of blank white boxes and the text is all in blue. Also the genius doesn't load either and takes forever.

Try this,
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics. When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document. What happened, and how do I fix

Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

Popup screen with two check box and a text area for the user to enter value

hi,
i have a requirement when a button is clicked a popup screen should appear with two check box and a text box where the user can enter a value.
is there any function module which has that functionality

Hello,
You can create a new screen and select the screen type as model dialog box.This will give you a pop-up screen and you can call this model dialog box screen in the PAI of the screen where the button is present.(At user-command).
case ok_code.
when 'BUTTON'.
call screen 200 starting at 10 10.
You can design the PBO of this pop-up screen as per your needs.

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;

Converting images that include text boxes and callouts in FM

Hello,
I'm on a new project (TCS 3.5, RH 9, FM 10) that requires me to include text boxes and lines (callouts) on top / in front of many of the images in FM. The reason they are not allowing me to add the text/callouts to the images themselves is because they want to keep the text boxes editable for translation.
The problem: After importing into RH, these images have white borders on all sides that they didn't have previously and I can't figure out what's causing it.
When I remove the text/callouts from over the images in question, then reimport, the problem resolves and the white borders disappear. When I view the original image files, there are no borders present. After I import, I view the image file in the RH folder and it does include the border. (So the border is on the image itself.)
Presently, the Object Properties for the images are as follows:
Offset From:
Top: 0.0"
Left: 0.0"
Border Width: 0.015 (which is lowest FM allows me to set... I get an error message when I try to enter 0.0)
Anchored Frame settings:
Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
Alignment: Left
Cropped/Floating: both unchecked
I've tried many different variations and tests; probably too many to list here. In short, the "border" appears when there is text/callouts on the image and it disappears when I delete the text/callouts. I was hoping that someone may have had a similar issue. Please let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot and thanks for reading.
Best,
Tom

I had the same problem with callouts, but my solution was to add them directly to the image, so that doesn't help you.
Another things you can try to is ensure that the edges of the image do not touch the edges of the anchored frame. Make sure there is a bit of white space. I don't know why, but when any of my images touch the anchored frame, the conversion looks awful.
Also, my images appeared best in Robohelp when I set the properties for the image in Robohelp as follows:
File > Project Settings
Import tab
Edit conversion settings for FrameMaker documents
On the left side, select Image
Set Width and Height to 0pt (this ensures that the image is not resized)

How to get the text boxes and select lists dynamically?

Hi,
I have a requirement such that I need to create the text boxes and select lists depending on the user input at the run time. It means that if the user requires four text boxes/select lists then I need to have 4 such thing. If the user need 6 then I need to have 6.
The design may be such that initially only one text box/select list will be available when the page launches. Then as ad when the user asks for more those will be available to the user accordingly.
regards,
Dipankar.

You can use Ajax to call textboxes and select list based on what user enters.
Otherwise make those items conditional and based on what user enters you can display textbox or select list.
You can call Single Textbox and Select List using Ajax for any number of conditions.

Text box and radiobutton in smartforms

Dear Friends,
How to use text boxes and radiobuttons provided in web properties tab of text in smartforms.
Please give some code if possible .
Neetesh

Hi Neetesh,
U can add text box using using TEMPLATE.
right click on a window node->create->template
You should be able to do that even outside a table / template object.
However, if you have a tabular format to display and your data is in a internal table, you go for a table object.
If you don't have the data in a internal table, you usually go for a TEMPLATE object
Regard,
Priyanka.

I put an object and/or a text box on a page and then cannot select it - the Text cursor (not pointer, just the text cursor shows) is put on the object or text box and nothing happens. It is so frustrating! I then open up Everweb and the same thing, I create an object and then try and elect it to make it bigger etc and cannot. I know it must be something system wide as it happens in apps other than Pages.

Scrollable text box and MSO

Can you have scrollable text with a tinted colour frame beneath it that sits on top of a MSO slide show?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply. Attached is a screen grab of the sort of theing I'm trying to do. The text bottom right is a scrollabel frame, and the background image is a slide show. When I preview it on the ipad, the background slideshow works, green coloured background to the text box and the graphics dissapper, but the scrollable text stays.
Any Help?

I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form. However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer. Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

Interactive boxes (e.g. google maps text box) and drop-downs from those boxes go blank white.

So for certain websites//boxes when I open them they are just blank white, or toolbars on websites will also randomly go between visible and completely white randomly as I scroll. So for example the facebook toolbar randomly goes white, when I try to check my messages//notifications it goes white, the google maps text box and all the drop downs are completely white, etc.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Dynamic text box and minus variable?

I have a text box with dynamic text set to display p variable but when the variable goes < 0 it only displays a '-'.
im using:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
p = my_object._x;
How can I correct this? Also another question with 'my_object._x' it returns the x coord relative to the movie clip it is in. How do I get the position relative to the 0,0 (top left corner)?
I've been learning Flash for 2 days so sorry if the questions sound simple. I have tried googling these.

for the textfield question....
I'm not too sure about that... it could be related to the width of the textfield, or maybe a maxChars setting on the textfield....not really sure sorry. Someone else may have an answer....
for the other question...
getRect() gives you the bounding box (without stroke width, use getBounds() if you want bounds outside the stroke width)
try
var geometricBounds = my_object.getRect();
trace(geometricBounds.xMin+","+geometricBounds.yMin)
