Make text fit TextField
Hi
I'm new at this and do have a major (to me) prob.
I'm using LC Designer ES ver. 8.2.
I want font size to schrink as I type in a TextField, so the text allways fit and fill in a fixed sized TextField with multiline. I know how to make the TextField match the text, but I want it the other way around.
Going mad soon.
Unfortunately LC doesn't have a simple box for you to type the starting font size.
But LC can accomplish what you want using scripts.
Scripts are not something to delve into if you're new to coding, they'll take some time to learn, and probably not worth the hassle for a small aesthetic issue.
If you're game, then here's a suggestion:
First you would make the text box pretty small so that the first character isn't too large.
Then the script counts the letters you type in and dynamically resizes the text field, allowing the automatic font feature described above to fill the whole box.
Here's a resource that shows you how to start:

Make Text Fit in Final Cut Pro 7
In Final Cut Pro 7, is there a way to make text fit properly on your screen without manually hitting enter on each line? I’ll try to explain myself: I frequently use screens with a lot of writing. I write the text in the Controls tab of a text box. If I write a long sentence, the words will run off the screen even if I change the size of the font to a smaller one. I can stop that from happening by hitting enter midway through a sentence; the remainder of the sentence then moves to the line below. Since I’m writing a lot, I have to repeat this process a lot. It is kind of a guess and check procedure because I have to see how the screen looks after I hit enter each time. Can I do something so that Final Cut Pro 7 automatically moves text to the next line (just like it does when I’m typing in Word)?
Thank you for your help.For best results, don't use FCP's built-in text generators. Instead, use the Boris Generators which came bundled with FCP. For static text, use Boris 3D. You can format the text just about anyway you want.

How do I make a text fit into a filled shape or inside a border?
I know that I can use the area type tool so that the text forms inside a drawn circle, but if i draw a filled circle, use the area type tool on the circle, the text forms within the circle it but the circle itself disappers.
I made a picture to show what i mean (haha):
http://i.imgur.com/l2pH5.jpg
For the two examples in this picture, I drew a circles and used the area type tool. After that, I did a new circle on the text and filled it with filling or border, then brought the text in front etc. Of course I can always do that but there should be an easier way?After creating the area text, select the circle path with direct selection tool and apply fill and/or stroke. Select text with text tool and apply fill

Make text areas and textfields streach as window resizes
im using the border layout for most of my panels. how do i make text areas and textfields stretch as the window resizes?
Components placed in BorderLayout.CENTER will resize as the window resizes.
You will likely need to have nested JPanels, with different layouts, to create the ultimate layout of all your components in a frame, especially for non-trivial applications.
If you need specific help with layouts, you'll have to post an SSCCE. -
How to make text start at the top of a page in livecycle 9
Hi, How can I get the text in a large text field to start at the top left of the field rather than at the center of the field? In addition, may one know how to make text wrap in the form as well?
Thanks,
DavidTo set the Text alignment properties use "Paragraph" pallet you can make it visible by selecting Window>>Paragraph or Shift+F5
And to allow text wrapping you need to select "Allow Multiple Lines" checkbox under "Object" pallet and "Field" tab. You can make Object pallet visible by selecting Window>>Object or Shift+F7.
Good Luck, -

Can You Make Text Links Different Colours in DW Cs5?
Hi everyone, in DW Cs5 how do you make text links on the same page different colours, I have some text links across the top of the page, these go with a certain colour scheme but some more on the page it's self these need to be a different colour.
I have done this before by accident but unfortunately I have no longer got that file. Information for text in either html or css would be very helpful.
Many thanks
GarethChange this:
<style type="text/css">
.def13grey4 {
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #333;
.def14grey4 a {
color: #333;
</style>
to this:
<style type="text/css">
.def14grey4 a:link{font-weight: bold; color: #333;}
.def14grey4 a:visited{color: #999;}
.def14grey4 a:hover,
.def14grey4 a:active,
.def14grey4 a:focus{color:#4488C3;} /**adjust colors to suit**/
</style>
Change this in the HTML:
<td height="354" colspan="3" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" class="def13grey4">
<p>Black Shirts #002</p>
</td>
To this:
<td height="354" colspan="3" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<p><a class="def14grey4 href="some-link.html">Black Shirts #002</a></p>

How to make text columns with adobe muse
Hi,How to make text columns with adobe muse (like InDesign)?
Multiple columns can be acheived with CSS - http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp
div
-moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
-webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
column-count:3;
I'm surprised that Muse does not support text columns yet, but perhaps the custom CSS can be added in style tags on page properties. Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. -

How to make text/objects move nonlinear speed on AE CC?
Hi,
I was wondering two questions:
1) how to make "text holders" that has small animation. Here is an example from a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oSWt84VoAg (0:41).
2) how to move objects with increasing speed and soft slow down. I know how to change speed, but how to make it so that it is only accelerating and slowing down? Same examle can be found from the clip above with the place holders and texts.
Thank you for your help. If there is same kind of discussion going on please let me know. I could not find it.All of what you want to do comes down to the fine art of learning how to magle curves in the graph editor, which is nothing you can learn from just watching totorials. You learn it by doing and collecting experience.

Hi,
I'm developing a Java Aplication Desktop, and I need have a predictive text on TextField of Jswing.
How do this??
Thanks... and excuse me , i talk less EnglishYour requirement is generally known as "Auto-Completion". Google should turn up several excellent examples.
1 ) Create a dictionary. A String[] will do
2) Create an auto-completion document model that takes the dictionary.
3) Use the JTextField.setDocument(myAutoCompleteDoc); -
I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?
Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do. The spread layout doesn't.
