Make use of text input to submit text

Hello,
thanks for a lot of wonderful features in the second beta release. I particularly like the improved ability to do editing in catalyst (instead of always going back to illustrator to modify the slightest things, in the previous beta) and the improved performance.
My question is:
How can I submit text in a text input? (Say, the user keys in something into a text input, and clicks submit, is there a way for me to "receive" the things he keyed in and maybe even validate it?)
Thanks in advance!
By the way, I would like it if the performance can be improved further and i also vote for allowing us to reorder states in catalyst (I don't seem to be able to promote that idea in the Labs IDeas section)!
Regards,
Colin

Hey Colin,
Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it!
So, to 'receive' the user's input text and validate it, you're going to have to bring your fxp project into Flash Builder and do a little bit of coding.
The TextInput documentation gives some really good detail on how you can work with this control in more advanced ways: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/beta/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/T extInput.html
I think you're going to want to listen to a textInput, or change event, and then validate there.
You can also add a Validator to validate your text input, where this flex quick start to validation guide might help you: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/validating_data/
In the meantime, if you have any ideas on how a feature like this may work in Catalyst, please post to the ideas site.

How to make use of the Input Stream

Hai,
I want to read input from the user for non-character type through Keyboard as the standard input device. How can I read the non-character type. I tried the following method, but not succeeded. The input data may be of type double or int. Can anyone help me.
DataInputStream num=new DataInputStream(System.in);
Double Vig_Fair_Value=num.read();
Thanks,
Sennat

You read the characters the user types, eg. "15" into a string using a BufferedReader, you then convert them to a number here's an method to do it for integers
     public static int inInt()
          BufferedReader inp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
          String s = "";try{s = inp.readLine();}catch(Exception e){}
          return toInt(s,0);     // make integer, default 0
     public static int toInt(String s, int er)
          int i;
          try{i = new Integer(s).intValue();}
          catch(NumberFormatException exc){i =er;}
          return i;

Can a ComboBox be used for Text Input ?

Hi
In Ms Access the combo box can be used for text input for creating new lines in the Database instead of just being limited to the lines already there in the drop down list. Is this possible with the combo box available in Flex 4. If it is I haven't being successful in getting it to work.
Thanks for you help in advance
ParaicKW

I am using a Dataservices Commit method to write to the Database via a button on the screen
When I type into the ComboBox's text input and click outside the combobox or on the commit button the application effectively freezes
SituationService is a CRUD type servicePHP to MYSQL and it works with the Datagrid

I have created a form in DW 5.0 using spry text fields. I am wondering what I did wrong to make the form fields show text?
Thank you.

Thanks again. There's one other thing I wanted to achieve here. I need the date format to be displayed like "dd/mm/yyyy" and not like it's doing by default at the moment (i.e. mm/dd/yyyy)
I don't have any knowledge of jQuery but had a go anyway at trying to fix this using this link http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/ as aid to try adjust my code. Obviously I couldn't get it to work so far... So I'm looking for a little bit of help from anyone who knows a bit of jQuery.
Here's the original default code (just the stuff that goes in the 'head' of the page):
<script>
$(function() {
      $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
</script>
And here's what I tried adding to make it work:
<script>
$(function() {
      $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
      $.datepicker.formatDate( "dd/mm/yyyy" );
</script>
Obviously I tried other combinations including .parseDate instead of .formatDate etc etc none of which worked.
I'm wondering whether the extra code should perhaps go inside where the XXs are - $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(XX)
Anyway, if somebody could help me out that would be great. Cheers!

We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone. If it's already unlocked skip to step 2. This works and will work even if you update the phone.
1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
Everything should work flawlessly at this point. If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can. I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

Using variables in input text fields nested in a movieclip

Hi all,
I am designing a roulette wheel type game. I am using a variable, "_global.myMoney = 0; " to keep track of the total money the player has. When I built the prototype, I used a dynamic text field on the stage with an instance name of "myMoney_text" and a variable of "_root.myMoney"
Now, I need to move this text box into a movie clip with an instance name of "winnings_mc"
When I test the movie, it looks like it showing the style sheet (font size, font, etc...) inside the dynamic text box. If I change the variable of the box to "_root.winnings_mc.myMoney" it seems to track initially, but now my updateMoney function in my main script does not work.
The function is called like this:
trace("updated money equals " + updateMoney(myMoney));
This always traces zero now, the initial value.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

if you want to use a global variable, when initializing and everytime you assign a new value, prefix the variable with _global:
_global.myMoney.
whenever you want to retrieve its value, use myMoney.
you should not be using _root.myMoney.
and as ned mentioned, you should stop using the variable associated with textfields and use the text property of your textfield to assign its text.

Using Dynamic Text to tell a Hyperlink where to go.

So I am having a little trouble on my site, and this community seems like a good place to go for help, and I am sure someone out here can help me.
I have a webpage that uses dynamic text and images, and it serves as my user profile page. I know the database and all of that stuff is set up correctly because all of the dynamic text shows up as it should.
Here is the problem I am having. I have an area where a user will be able to view files he has uploaded, and click on the name of a file to view it.
The way I have it set up, is the clickable text is dynamic text from the server, called uploadname1. I want to make this text into a link, that sends them to the file stored as fileupload1.
Here is my code that I thought should do it.
"<a href="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['fileupload1']; ?>"/><?php echo $row_Recordset1['uploadname1']; ?></a>" (minus the quotes of course)
The text underlines and changes the color as it should, but it is not clickable. Can someone out there help me?

Type in text on a page, use that text in an animation

Hi
I've been reading up and starting to play with Edge Animate CC, but I can't write any of the code myself. (I used to be a programmer so I can "read" it, but I haven't learnt any languages in years.) As well as my video job I am also the Director of a children's theatre company and I have an interesting idea which I hope Edge Animate can do...
Our show is improvised from children's ideas, they help us write a book. We'd love to have an animation of a book on screen which has the title we've been given by the audience. We don't have time to add the title to an After Effects animation and render it out, but I did wonder if we could make the animation in Edge Animate and play it live in HTML5. Ideally we'd have a text box, our live tech would type the name into this, and then an animated webpage would appear which uses the text they've typed in.
So how do we do this? Need to store input from a text field, hide the text field after (so our tech can turn on our live screen without showing it), then play an animation which includes the words stored from the input.
I have no idea if this is possible or where to start! Does anyone know or want to experiment with the basics of it?
Thanks
Matt Andrews

Yes, I believe you could do this. You can store the value of the input text and then load it where you want in the composition.
Below is how an input field works:
var message = sym.$("message");
inputMessage = $('<textarea />').attr({'type':'textarea','rows':'10', 'cols': '25','value':'', 'id':'message'});
inputMessage .css ('font-size', 14);
inputMessage .css ('background-color', '#0a81fb');
inputMessage .css ('box-shadow', '#0a81fb');
inputMessage .css ('width', 350);
//inputMessage .css ('height', 200);
inputMessage .appendTo(message);
Below is how you get the value:
var messageInfo = inputMessage.attr("value");
Then you could put it in another text field somewhere:
sym.$('anotherText').html(messageInfo);
Or something similar.

How can I use ONE Text search iView to event/affect mutliple Result Sets?

hello everyone,
i have a special situation in which i have 6 flat tables in my repository which all have a common field called Location ID (which is a lookup flat to the Locations table).
i am trying to build a page with a free-form text search iView on Table #1 (search field = Location ID). when I execute the search, the result set for Table #1 is properly updated, but how do I also get Result Set iViews for Tables #2-6 to also react to the event from Text Search for Table #1 so that they are updated?
i don't want to have to build 6 different text search iViews (one for each table). i just want to use ONE text search iView for all the different result set tables. but, in the documentation and iView properties, the text search iView doesn't have any eventing.
if you have any suggestions, please help.
many thanks in advance,
mm

hello Donna,
that should not be a problem, since you are detailw with result sets and detail iviews because custom eventing can be defined for those iviews.
Yes, it says "no records" found because an active search and record selection havent' been performed for it (only your main table does).
So, yes, define a custom event, and pass the appropriate parameters and you should be fine.
Creating a custom event between a Result Set iView and an Item Details iView is easy and works. I have done it.
See page 35 of the Portal Content Development Guide for a step-by-step example, which is what I used.
For my particular situation, the problem I'm having is that I want the Search Text iView's event (i.e., when the Submit button is pressed) to be published to multiple iViews, all with different tables. Those tables all share some common fields, which is what the Search iView has, so I'd like to pass the search critera to all of the iViews.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

You cannot.

How to use standard texts in smartforms

Hi Friends,
How to use standard texts in smartforms, ie in scripts we are using standard texts using tr so10.
thanks in advance,
regards,
sharma.

For long text
method1
Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to include text
then you can input text name/text object/text id/language
method2
create PROGRAM LINE node - use FM READ_TEXT to read it to a internal table
then use LOOP or TABLE node to display it
For TEXT module(For foreign language)
Tr-code:smartforms -- choose Text module(not choose form)--create a text module object
then enter smartform Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to text module
input the text module name which created by above
btw SO10 is just for Scriptform, in smartforms we use text module to replace SO10

How to make a tts text-to-speech keyboard shortcut

Hi,
How do I make a tts text-to-speech keyboard shortcut
to control the OSX "Speech" available as a contextual menu
when you right-click selected text in Safari, TextEdit and other native apps
*Speech > Start Speaking*
*Speech > Stop Speaking*
I can get this far:
*System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts >*
I have low-vision and need this on as many as possible or all text running on my computer.
Less important: The "Speech" contextual menu is not available right-clicking text in Google Chrome. I could sure use it there too.
THANKS!

If you want it turned on permanently open Universal Access preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn on VoiceOver. Click on the VoiceOver Application button for more configuration options.
There's also a shortcut option for TTS in the Speech preferences.

How to use formatted text in a static text/laben(or other) component?

Hello everyone,
my web application reads a VARCHAR from a SQL Server database which is bound to a static text/label component. The problem is that I don't manage to include line breaks this way.
Is there any way to do it? It doesn't have to be using a static text or label component, I just want to display formatted text on a web page which was read from a database.
Thank you very much for your help,
Arthur

unfortunately it doesn't work this way(or I am doing it wrong as I don't know anything about css)
If I set white-space: nowrap the text is displayed in one single line ( so probably I implemented it the right way)
but with white-space:pre he still ignores all the whitespaces!
reading the same text (from a microsoft sql server table)with a textarea component all whitespaces and line breaks are shown! there has to be a way to make the static text or label component act this way(I don't want to use the textarea component because it's ugly and doesn't serve for my purpose).
can anybody help me?
edit: observation:
if I use "nowrap" for the textarea component he still keeps all whitespaces WITHIN the string but displays the whole string in one line
but somehow he deletes white spaces in the beginning of the string
the static text/label components delete all whitespaces before AND within the string

Can you use a text field for email sender with E-mail button

basically i would like to use input information from the user when someone sends an email instead of the default which is to look for a third party e-mail program like outlook. I want to bypass that and possibly use a text field that has the user input their email. some people don't use outlook so it would be nice to bypass that somehow. Is there a way to send email without the whole outlook thing, like not needing a "sender" and instead require them to input email address. I just want to receive the pdf. I am using LIVECYCLE by the way.
