Making string item text into a scrollable text

does anyone have any advice or links which can give me details on how to make a stringtext item into scrollable text .thank you .

Actually, I think the question is a little more complex than at it at first reads.
As Viking points out, there's no correlation between the text object "abc" and a variable named abc. Both can peacefully coexist in the same script.
However, I suspect that what you're asking for is the ability to create ad-hoc, on-the-fly variables using some unknown/variable input as the AS variable name. That's not possible (at least not without an insane amount of work, heartache, and blood pressure pills).
Depending on your use case it may be easier to create records with your data, using the (unknown) data as the label along with some stored value:
set myVariables to {}
repeat 3 times
  set varName to text returned of (display dialog "Enter a variable name:" default answer "")
  set varVal to text returned of (display dialog "Enter value for " & varName default answer "")
  copy {label:varName, val:varVal} to end of myVariables
end repeat
return myVariables
but there's no easy way to create a variable in your script based on the user input.

  • Split  text into  number and  text

    Hi ,
    My problem is something like this....." 5 feet 6 inch ". This
    is a single string(varchar). since i cannot calculate value (6*5)
    here .i need to make it taking from database separate. And later
    calculate value.Is there any possibility throught which i can do
    something like that.?
    Thanks in advance.

    I could do it for that particular record, but unless every
    record has the same structure, it will be tough if not impossible.
    How is the data getting into the db to start with? If you are
    accepting free text, you might get values like five ft seven, five
    and a half ft, etc.
    Is it too late to re-design the db so that you have a numeric
    field for that measurment?

  • Load multiple parts of an XML file into one dynamic Text Field

    Hi I am trying to load text from an external XML file into a dynamic text box. I have so far managed to load single parts of the XML file into a dynamic text field. I now want to be able to load different parts of the XML file (something similar to a string with appendText) into the same text Field.
    I have so far managed to achive this using the String and append text properties, but would like to use XML file to do it instead.
    Any tips please?
    Thanks

    In essence you can just do:
    TextField.text = XML.node1 + XML.node2;

  • Cannot paste text into a text layer in Photoshop

    Since a couple of days ago I cannot paste text into a photoshop text layer from any other source, like safari, word etc.
    I get an "popup error"-window in swedish (my language) saying something like "Could not complete the paste text command because the clipboard data was invalid or missing."
    Anyone having the same issue? Or maybe a fix on the problem? Of course i've tried restarting photoshop and also the computer. Running Mac OS X Yosemite and the latest Photoshop CC 2014.

    The paste command does not work in DW
    I have deleted corrupted cache
    I have tried Restore Preferences

  • Drag & Drop Text into place holder while Matching  style. Possible?

    Is it possible to drag text into a placeholder text box and have the dragged text assume the style of the placeholder text? I know that I can "paste and match style" which I use constantly but I am trying to build a template for other people to use and would love for them to simply be able to drag & drop text into a template. It seems like this would be the default behavior for a template but it does not seem to be.
    Am I missing something obvious?

    I either have to select, copy, and then paste matching formatting, or drag, drop and then reformat the text from the styles. Is there any way I can drag and drop so that the text being dropped picks up the formatting of the place holder I'm dropping it into? It seems to me that this is what a placeholder should be for.
    Am I missing something?
    Perhaps the fact that the definition of placeholder is not the same for you and for the Pages designers
    Seriously, I think that you hit a design flaw. Here we are end users trying to help end users. We are unable to change the program behavior.

  • Today's date dynamically entered into text field that user enters additional text into same field.

    Trying to have today's date dynamically entered into a repeating table row textfield when the button is clicked to create each repeating row. The user can then enter addtional text into the same text field next to the date.
    Example:
    [4/25/2012] This is the text the user entered.
    Today's date is populated in each update row created when the "Update Row" button is clicked.
    The following script works but only for the first instance, not the second, third, forth, etc...
    Click event: (JavaScript, client)
    this.resolveNode('Table2._RowB').addInstance(1);
    xfa.resolveNode("Table2.RowB.#subform.Update").rawValue

  • Puting images into dynamic scrolling text

    So I have a dynamic text box and it is linked to the UI
    Scroll component. How do I put images in so that the image scrolls
    with the text?

    What i find works is to import the the text into a dynamic
    text field in flash. I use notepad to write the HTML (which is to
    be loaded externally) and use this HTML to bring in the images,
    this way they all scroll with the text in the dynamic text box. So
    you could use the <img src> tag in the external text (in
    notepad) then import the text into flash using LoadVars() into the
    frame where you want the text.
    I've used this countless time for sites and stuff although im
    having problems getting the text nest into a movie clip (im about
    to post for help on that one .....
    Not sure how clear all that is to you......

  • Copy Header texte into Item text, trasactions FB60-FB50-FB70

    Hi,
    using the transactions FB50, FB60 and FB70 I need to copy automatically the Header text into the Items text.
    Can someone tell me how to do that?
    Thank you and best regards,
    Giorgia

    In the enjoy transaction like FB60-FB50-FB70, header and line items fields are quite mixed up. When you are mentioning Header text, please confirm that you meant "Header text" field in the "Details" tab screen and not the "Text" field in the basic data tab screen.
    Normally when you want to copy the "text" field content in the Basic Data screen to all the G/L line items text fields, you do it through "editing option" in the FB60-FB50-FB70 transaction screen itself. Here in the General entry options you activate the check box "Copy text for GL account enter".
    But if you want to copy really the header text in the Details screen to Vendor and Gl items for example, then you have to create substitution rule
    Thanks

  • Concatenating into a single text field multiple choices from a dialog window

    I present a user with a form which contans a list from where to chose a few items.
    I need to take what he puts in there, and convert it into a string to pass it to a query... They click to select, and click to deselect, and I have to show in the underlying form's parameter list the items he has chosen in this form:
    joe,frank,rizzo
    if he clicks again on rizzo, the list (and he can see it) would show:
    joe,frank
    Thats the first part. Now, I have to pass three or more of these strings to a library procedure to do 'recheck' or validation, against the same tables, etc,). I don't want to put the loop in the library... but if I have to, I can only bring a single variable text string into it. Which means, I have to move each of the various strings of choices into the variable which goes to the library procedure.
    Complex enough?
    I have about three days to figure it out.
    Summary: 1. Concatenating the choices.
    2. sending different values into the library procedure, using the same variable in the library procedure.
    Thanks in advance!

    Try something like:
    // Get field values
    var first_name = getField("FirstName").value;
    var middle_name = getField("MiddleName").value;
    var last_name = getField("LastName").value;
    // Build full_name string
    var full_name = "Mr. " + last_name + ", " + first_name + middle_name;
    // Set this field's value equal to full_name
    event.value = full_name;
    This is intended to be the custom calculation script fot the "FullName" field.
    Refinements might be to have the user specify the title (Mr, Mrs, Dr., etc.) and handle missing values properly, but this should get you started.
    If you will be doing much scripting, you should get the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.
