Menu text items to change colour

Hello.
I'm trying to use highlights on a dvd menu to get text to change colour between normal and selected mode.
When layer transparency is set to < 100% the colours are mixed. When transparency is set to 100%. the 'underlying' normal mode image can still be seen underneath
Furthermore, what Encore actually builds is different from what is displayed in the project preview.
Confused. Thanks for any help.

First, the Encore Preview is but a rough emulation, and a test RW DVD, or doing a DVD VIDEO_TS folder for viewing in a DVD software player, will always be the best way to see what you are actually getting.
Now, what I think you are describing is the inherent limitation of Sub-picture Highlights: they are always on top of all graphics in a Button on a Menu, and are limited to 2-bit (either ON, or OFF, with zero anti-aliasing) color, but can have Transparency (the opposite of Opacity in PS). Because of these limitations, the Sub-picture Highlights will be jagged, over all other elements and limited to one of three possible colors.
You might get a better result, if you employ parts of this ARTICLE.
Good luck, and hope that something in that article helps you.

Tabular form for text item -save changes not working

Hello,
I have created a tabular form in which I have made one of the columns say deptno as an Text item using APEX_TEXT.ITEM package.
In my tabular form by default I have created it with all the buttons like with ADD ROW,CANCEL,SUBMIT(SAVE).
My problem is that whenever I make any changes to the text item for deptno column, and then try to save the changes by clicking SUBMIT - the changes are not taking place to the deptno text item column.
Can anyone help me out with this.
thanks.

hi Denes Kubicek.
the thing is that i have made it as text item because I have concatenated it with an popup image when clicked on it opens up an new popup window
which is a report containing dept table details. So if need to make a change to the deptno text item column in the parent window for a particular record
then i do through the popup window (like by selecting the deptno from the popup window - so that this value is returned to my parent window deptno text item column)
for this reason i have made the column deptno as an text item.
can you help me out with this issue.
thanks.

Is it possible to change the height of Spry Menu Bar items?

I'm new to websites and have been trying to understand the CSS of the Spry menu bar. I've managed to put a horizontal menu bar in place and with the help of some previous discussions in this forum, have changed the colours of the menu items and have even managed to centre the text - Thanks!
However, I really would like to have a smaller menu bar - height wise.
I've tried reducing the default height of the menu bar items by adding a height and by reducing the font size and padding. The results have been varied. In Firefox and in Dreamweaver's 'live view' there is still a thin line showing underneath my horizontal menu which is the background colour of the div my menu sits in. In IE there is a similar 'chunk missing' from the bottom of the items.
Is this something that can be done? I've seen lots of help on how to change the width of the items, but have not found any which suggest that the height can be changed.
Gill

Sure. You just need to be thorough. Keep in mind that in a Spry Menu Bar you are making the link-text in the list-items block elements, so you will want to change the line-height of the a element. Pick style selectors in the css stylesheet that end in a, with or without an additional class (a.classhere), and play with the line-height.
Another attribute you can consider is the difference in height between Cap and lower case and All caps. You can usually get away with a smaller line-height and a smaller font-size with all caps, because there are no descenders on the text to require more line-height. Keep in mind also that when you state a line-height, your text will center vertically in the line-height, as far as I know, so you might even get away without top and bottom padding.

Basic question on how to change menu text in this FLA file

I am kind of new to Flash and I am just a bit stuck on where
I am suppose to edit the menu text in the flash file I purchased
(link below).
I can see where to edit the hyperlinks in the action script
for each menu item but I can find the text (e.g. I want to change
the word “Our Gallery” and type
“Competitions”
http://www.abcpchelp.com/header3_fv8.fla

Hello IawaGuy:
Thanks for getting back to me. I've been really having a
problem with this flash header. Being new to some of these programs
doesn't help much. It's been a learning curve for me. I used a
program called Flash Decompiler Trillix to convert the swf to fla.
and converting the symbols as text so that I could edit them. It
turned out that the text that came up was a jumble of letters which
I had to decifer. I was finally able to change the all the text to
what they were supposed to be. After I exported it back into the
website in Dreamweaver the links on the drop down menus didn't
work.
It's as if the layers aren't connected in some way. The main
links work but I can't access the drop down part which also contain
links as well. I hope you can help me with this.
Thanks,
Glenn

Dropdown Menu same raw value changes back to top list item

Ok guys. I have such a weird issue. I have some code as follows from a dropdown menu:
<items>
                     <text>Zeutering</text>
                     <text>Rabies 1 Year (Dog or Cat)</text>
                     <text>Puppy Pack (DAPPv and Dewormer)</text>
                     <text>Kitten Pack (HCP+FeLV and Dewormer)</text>
                     <text>Adult Dog Pack 1 (Rabies, DAPPvL2+CV and Dewormer)</text>
                     <text>Adult Cat Pack 1 (Rabies, HCP+FeLV, and Dewormer)</text>
                     <text>Deluxe Adult Dog Pack (Rabies, DAPPvL2+CV, Bordatella, and Dewormer)</text>
                     <text>Heartworm Pack (Heartworm test + six months of prevention)</text>
                     <text>Microchip (Home Again Chip)</text>
                     <text>Flea and Tick Medications</text>
                  </items>
                  <items save="1" presence="hidden">
                     <text>65.00</text>
                     <text>10.00</text>
                     <text>20.00</text>
                     <text>25.00</text>
                     <text>35.00</text>
                     <text>35.00</text>
                     <text>50.00</text>
                     <text>95.00</text>
                     <text>30.00</text>
                     <text>10</text>
                  </items>
The problem I am having is this. When I select <text>Adult Cat Pack 1 (Rabies, HCP+FeLV, and Dewormer)</text> from the dropdown menu the option goes to   <text>Adult Dog Pack 1 (Rabies, DAPPvL2+CV and Dewormer)</text>   which is the option above the option I selected as noted above. The only thing I can think of is that because they have the same value it is causing this to happen. I've never had an issue like this before with dropdown menus so I'm not sure how to fix it.
Any help is much appreciated.
Justin

Hi Justin,
You are right, the dropdown only works if the values are unique. So one fix would be to add something to the value making it unique and then striping it off when selected. So if your values were;
            <items save="1" presence="hidden">
               <text>65.00:1</text>
               <text>10.00:2</text>
               <text>20.00:3</text>
               <text>25.00:4</text>
               <text>35.00:5</text>
               <text>35.00:6</text>
               <text>50.00:7</text>
               <text>95.00:8</text>
               <text>30.00:9</text>
               <text>10:10</text>
            </items>
In the change event you could have some JavaScript code something like;
var valueId = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
app.alert(parseFloat(valueId));
The parseFloat function will stop parsing when it hits an invalid character like the colon.
It is tempting to use a natural key (as you have) but I would probably have used a surrogate key (that is something only the form knows about, like 1,2,3, etc) and then look it up in some structure maybe as simple as a JavaScript array, depends on the complexity of your form.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

Change log of text items

Is there any way of finding out the change log for text items during text determination. e.g. The sales order is created by a set of users who specify the colour of the item in the sales item text - textid-ZCME. They change the colour after sometime in the text-id and there is no means of finding out who changed and when.

In a non-db block, create an item m_rec_cnt as
Datatype : number
Calculation mode :Summary
Summary function : count
summary blk : your block which you expect to have more than 1 record
summay item :any not null item--------------------------------------------------------
create a procedure in the pgm units to set the visual attributes of that particular rec. in the main canvas
procedure l_set_record_Appear(p_va varchar2) is
Begin
set_item_instance_property('emp_code', to_number(:system.trigger_record), visual_attribute, p_Va);

Then call the procedure in

How to change the color of navigation menu text?

Hello guys,
is there any way to change the color of navigation menu text? (Home, Contact About us,etc)
Thank you,
Cheers

To create your own navigation bar, you can use a textbox and use colour fill with any colour you want and then enter the names of your pages in this and create hyperlinks to these pages. The text can then be any colour you want.
You can also use shapes if you want to and use the shapes to create individual buttons.
To hide the original nav bar, go to page and it has a couple of boxes with hide nav bar and include in page. Uncheck these and the original nav bar will disappear. You can't delete them however.

Updating a value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change

Hi,
I need to change the value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change to another item's value in the same block.
Suppose there's a text item in a multi record block called dt1 which is of type date, which is changed in a particular record. I want to change the values of the another item in the same multi record block, for all other records by running a loop through all the records in multi record block. I dont want to do it on the press of a button, it should do automatically on change. Help me resolve this issue.

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
It's possible?

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye

How to change data type and col. width of text item

hi,
how will we change the datatype and width of a text item in runtime.
set_item_property(itemname,fixed_length,20);--- it is for width.
please help me.

Hello,
You cannot change the datatype at runtime.
Start with a CHAR item then do the corresponding cast (NUMBER or DATE)

How to change a text item to have a link that opens a different page?

Hi,
How to change a text item to have a link that opens a different page?
Thanks,
Guy

Hi Denes,
I understood what the code will do. But it did not work.
...a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.">LINK</a...
By default, P5_TASK_NAME displays Task Name which is passed from Page 3.
So I changed your code as follows so that P5_TASK_NAME value may be displayed with a link.
...a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.">:P5_TASK_NAME</a...
But P5_TASK_NAME value appears without any link and does not open page 3.
Then I created a new text item (display only) in the same HTML region in page 5 and entered the following code in the default box:
...a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.">LINK</a...
When I ran the application, it displayed the whole code as text.
How can I display P5_TASK_NAME value with a link to open page 3?
Would appreciate your help.
... to be replaced with < or >
Could you please let me know how to display link code correctly?
Thanks,
Guy

Can't change rotating text on revoltion theme after I delete the menu text.

So I export a slideshow to iDVD. By default you have the revolution theme. There is text that says revolution main in the body of the menu and it says revolution main on the rotating text. There is also a button for my slideshow. So I change the revolution main text to what I want the rotating text to be then delete that text on the main menu. The rotating text then stays. But if I want to then change it, I can't see any way to do so because I deleted the button. What was it that I deleted? How do I get it back. I thought it was the title menu, so I add a new title menu button and try to change the text but the rotating text won't change. I am probably missing something simple, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
