Multiple bullet textboxes

Hi I'm pretty new to Mac. I'm switching from MS PowerPoint to Keynote and I'm not able to create multiple textboxes for itemized paragraph in the same slide.
When I already have 1 itemized textbox I create the second one, but I cannot create itemized text.
I think this depends from the different structure of Keynote sfw.
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance
Filippo

There used to be an FAQ for this, but Apple hasn't put them back after the change over with the forums.

Firing multiple Bullets

Hi, I have written the code below which restricts the number of bullets fired, but each bullet fired travels at a different speed to the last and
when another bullet is fired the previous one disappears from the screen. Please can anyone give any guidance ?
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.BackgroundColor;
var speed:Number;
speed = 10;
var shootLimiter:Number=0;
var backgrou:MovieClip = new Background();
var bullet:MovieClip = new Bullet();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,backgroundmove);
backgrou.x =0;
backgrou.y = 45;
addChild(backgrou);
var ship:MovieClip = new Ship();
ship.x = 100;
ship.y =200;
addChild(ship);
function backgroundmove(e:Event):void
backgrou.x -= 1;
shootLimiter++;
if(backgrou.x < -2110)
backgrou.x = 0;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeyDown);
function KeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
if((event.keyCode == 32) &&(shootLimiter>16))
AddBullet();
if(event.keyCode == 37){ //checks if left arrowkey is released.
ship.x -=5;
shootLimiter++;
if(event.keyCode == 39){ //checks if right arrowkey is released.
ship.x +=5;
shootLimiter++;
if(event.keyCode == 38){ //checks if up arrowkey is released.
ship.y -= 5;
shootLimiter++;
if(event.keyCode == 40){ //checks if down arrowkey is released.
ship.y+= 5;
shootLimiter++;
function AddBullet()
bullet.x = ship.x +100;
bullet.y = ship.y + 30;
addChild(bullet);
shootLimiter=0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,movebullet);
function movebullet(e:Event):void
     bullet.x += speed;
     if(bullet.x > 800)
         if(contains(bullet)){
           removeChild(bullet);
          removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,movebullet);

You only have one bullet:
var bullet:MovieClip = new Bullet();
adding child on it does not make a new one. You need something like:
addChild(new Bullet());
to make multiple bullets.
In addition nested functions are a poor choice, you should remove moveBullet from inside of addBullet. The you probably want to make a bullet class that is linked to your library bullet clip - then bullets can move and remove themselves.

Shooting multiple bullets

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my
character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The
bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I
press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a
motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set
the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that
the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly
out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the
first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I
want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space
bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
bullet_right_mc.y = (ball_mc.y -38);
bullet_right_mc.x = (ball_mc.x + 253);
bullet_right_mc.gotoAndPlay("shoot");
Thanks
Ryan

You need to create new instances of the bullt for every use
of the spacebar. To do that you need to have the bullets called in
dynamically from the library.
First you need to designate the bullet mc in the library as
an item that can be loaded dynamically. Right click on it in the
library and select Linkage from the menu that appears. In the
interface that appears, select Export for Actionscript. A Class
name will automatically be assigned, which you can change as you
like (lets just say you name it Bullet). This is the name you will
use to call in the bullets.
When you click OK to close that interface, it will come up
with an indication saying it can't find the class so it will create
one... click OK there to.
Then, your code will become...
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
bullet.y = (ball_mc.y -38);
bullet.x = (ball_mc.x + 253);
this.addChild(bullet);
bullet.gotoAndPlay("shoot");
That code was quick and dirty, so it probably has an error or
two inherent, maybe the last line of it,
so if that fails you could replace it with
this.getChildAt(this.numChildren-1).gotoAndPlay("shoot");
that might fly
In any case, it will at least get you moving towards having
mutliple bullets flying. You can post again if you have a new
problem to solve.

Use mask to show one bullet point at a time

I have content in multiple bullet points of text. The background is a texture. I'd like to use mask to show the text in sync with audio. It works but the text is the color of the mask. I have bullet point itself in a different color. How can I mask the area to show and use its own color?
Or is there a better way to sync multiple bullet points of text without having each bullet points in its own layer and MC?
Thanks,

make sure your font is embedded.

IN JSp : How to validate textbox of same name?

Hi..
Im having doubt in jsp & its urgent need for me..help out...
Im having multiple html textbox of same name. Onclicking that textbox
i have to call one JS page that creates calendar window which returns date
to same textbox after selection.
For single textbox, the values returns corretly..for multiple it doesnt return
the value..coz of same name i think..
Code:
<script language="JavaScript" src="CmJavaScript.JS" ></script>
<td class="table-text-tab"><input type=text name=a_date onClick=javascript:showcal('testForm.this.value'); value=<%=rs0.getString(5)%> size=13>
<td class="table-text-tab"><input type=text name=f_date onClick=javascript:showcal('testForm.this.value'); value=<%=rs0.getString(7)%> size=13>
Here showcal is the functionname & testform is the form name.
here this two table data will be looped till the end of record selection.
for example if i select 2 records in previous page..this code will be executed twice & will display textbox twice with same name..
ie
a_date ------------ f_date -----------
a_date ------------ f_date -----------
if i click first a_date textbox it populates calendar thru JS which returns date.
bcoz of same textbox name..it doesnt returns the value...
i mean its confused where to return whether in 1st (r) 2nd textbox?

The same rule applies for textboxes as for checkboxes with the same name - indeed for any components accessed in the dom via javascript.
If there is only one element of that name, it is accessed directly.
If there is more than one element of that name, it reveals them as an array.
so document.testForm.a_date would return an array of input fiels
document.testForm.a_date[0], document.testForm.a_date[1] ... document.testForm.a_date[n]
However the order of submission of parameters is NOT guarunteed, which is why people normally DON'T have fields in this manner - because you can't know for certain that a_date[1] matches with b_date[1] at the server end.
The common practice is to give each field a unique name (numbered).

Infopath Multi Textbox and OpenXML to generate word document

Firing bullets in space invaders game

hey guys,
I am trying to work out the logic and the code required for firing a bullet in a space invaders style game.
I have a space ship on a stage that moves around freely using the arrow keys and I want to use the space bar to release a bullet.
So far my thinking is as follows:
when the space bar is pressed a bullet is released from the players space ship.
so I need to think about:
- the speed of the bullet
- the position of the spaceship when the bullet is fired
- being able to fire multiple bullets one after the other
- the bullet should move from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen
- the consequence of a bullet hitting a target
I do not know how many scripts I would need to tackle this? how many behaviours per script and more importantly the code required....
I am desperate for any help and support you can provide...
thank you

thank you for your support
at this current time it would be a waste of time to understand how things work that did not benefit my game, sure knowledge would give me power but at the moment Id rather concentrate on gaining the appropriate knowledge as per the mechanics of my game and not going off in the opposite direction
having had a look at your space invaders game and the code and logic you provided it is different to the game I am building because:
- you use the move for movement and fire whereas I use cursor keys and a space bar
- you have limited the amount of ammuntion, I have not
- there are no explosions or changing of cast members on intersection.
I understand the aim of you posting the guide however I am of the thinking it would be better to follow a tutorial that is in line with what I require rather then learning a particular style and then again having to work out how to amend it again to be used in my game...
So if anyone can help me understand or provide code as per my initial message , I would be so grateful
thank you

Keynote Text box transition not working correctly

Having issues trying to create an animated build-in effect on a bulleted textbox in Keynote ("Scale Big" and "By Character") - I am using Keynote v6.1
I have created it many times before but for some reason the latest version of keynote refuses to render it properly. I choose the text box, then animate and "Build In" is selected as default, then I:
- Click on "Add an Effect"
- Select "Scale Big"
- Select "By Character" (under "Text Delivery" option) and then preview
However, the effect that is rendered is the same as the "By Object" option. This effect used to work for me befroe but only recenlty is givin me issues.
Anybody else face the same issue ? Please advise - it's one of my favorite effects in my presentations

Scale Big - By Character works correctly for me, I suggest you repair Keynote by doing the following:
ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using Appcleaner from Mac Update to      do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
     let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and      click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
please report back.

How do i change the number of columns within a text box? I need to go from three columns to one.

How do I change the number of columns within a text box? I need to go from 3 columns to 1. The insert column is highlighted and column break does not work for this.

Pages '09 does not seem to allow layout breaks in Textboxes.
Pages 5.2 has the same limitation.
Use multiple linked Textboxes in Pages '09 to get the layout you want or create your layout in a Word Processing template in the document layer.

Help with KeyDown (space invaders game)

I'm making a space invaders type game for school using Greenfoot (new Java IDE). Whenever I press space, a bullet will fire. However, multiple bullets are being created when I press space once, and when I hold space, a long stream of bullets are being made. I want one bullet to be created when I press space. Tried using KeyPress, but apparently Greenfoot does not recognize java.awt? Thanks in advance.
public class Ship extends Vehicle {
     * Constructor for objects of class Shuttle
    public Bullet B;
    boolean canFire = false;
    public Ship() {
        GreenfootImage ship = new GreenfootImage("spaceship.gif");
        this.setImage(ship);
    //Create a bullet
    public void fire(){
        B = new Bullet();
        getWorld().addObject(B,getX(),getY()-60);
    public boolean collision(){
        Actor enemy = getOneIntersectingObject(null);
        return (enemy!=null) ? true : false;
    public void act(){
        // move with keys
        if (this.canMove())
             move();
        if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space")){
                fire();
        else if(collision()){
            getWorld().removeObject(this);
}

Make a Class Variable to use as a flag indicating that a key was pressed... check to see if the flag is set, and if it is not, then fire a bullet and then set the flag. Reset the flag when they keyReleased action fires.
This way only one bullet can be fired for each time a key is pressed, provided your act() is being polled, but if a keyPressed fires act(), but not a keyRelease too, then it will not work. If it does not work, then you'll need to go to a regular KeyListener.
//Your code make these changes
public class Ship extends Vehicle {
      * Constructor for objects of class Shuttle
     public Bullet B;
     boolean canFire = false;
     public Ship() {
         GreenfootImage ship = new GreenfootImage("spaceship.gif");
         this.setImage(ship);
     //Create a bullet
     public void fire(){
         B = new Bullet();
         getWorld().addObject(B,getX(),getY()-60);
     public boolean collision(){
         Actor enemy = getOneIntersectingObject(null);
         return (enemy!=null) ? true : false;
     public void act(){
         // move with keys
         if (this.canMove())
              move();
        if(!GreenFoot.isKeyDown("space")) canFire = true; //add this
         if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space") and canFire){
                 fire();
                 canFire = false; //add this

Still doesn't support widescreen resoloutions?

My display's native resolution is 1440 x 900. I accepted that I had to use 3rd party drivers in Tiger, but do I really still need to now?

Tom, not quite sure why you are on my case with this. Are you grumpy to everyone, or just those trying to help?
Clearly you don't think I meant it when I said all you need to do is choose Arabic and you can type RTL in Arabic. Did you try it out? If you did you'd find it works.
Here's what I did.
I found some Arabic text.
I created a new blank document in Keynote.
I selected a new page, and clicked on the 'bullet text' input panel.
I changed the input language from English to Arabic.
When I did this, the bullets moved from the left side of the frame to the right.
I pasted in the arabic text with "match style"
The text appeared as multiple bullets on the RHS of the frame.
Here is a picture of the results...
That's it isn't it? Or do you still think I "did not understand the issues"?
In passing, I think I know how you end up with Arabic text with bullets on the left. If you start typing in a bullet box with the language set to English, the bullets are on the LHS. If you then paste text "into" the English text, the arabic is inserted 'inline' (much the same way that French or German might be). I think then you end up with bullets on the LHS, but arabic text in the bullet. In a kooky way I think OS X / Keynote is actually trying to be helpful (the 'insert text' model would be the right thing if you wanted to, for example, quote a single Arabic word in the middle of a sentence - it would be bonkers if the whole paragraph went RTL because of one word).
I suspect that's what a.moshrif was doing when he was having a problem.
Finally, just for the record, neither MS Office or iWork 09 support RTL text on a Mac. One of the reasons that Macs are not so popular in the Middle East...

Automate copy/paste

Hi.
I'm working on a catalogue where i have each product listed with text and pictures. Under each product, I got a table where the item number, description and price are going to be. All this info is in a excel table. Some products has more than one listing in the same table and some has only one. What i'm hoping to achieve is to automate this process and get indesign to understand what info is going into the correct table. Is this possible or is the old copy/pate my only option?

Data merge can do the image and the stuff to the right (your bulleted lists can be handled as either one cell, with a marker that you'll change to creat multiple bulleted paragraphs after the merge, or one cell per bullet item. The table below will need to have one cell in each record for each of the maximum number of cells that will be in any of these tables, so if you have three rows of three, that's nine columns in the Excel Spread sheet, each with a unique name at the top (r1-c1, r1-c2, ... r3-c2, r3-c3 for example). EVERY product needs to have all of the columns, and each column gets a unqiue tag. If a product doesn't use all of the columns, leave them blank and they will be blank in the merge. If there is nothing on a line in the merged document but blank fields (and nothing means no punctuation or whitespace, too), the line will be removed. I don't think this will work without some manual intervention, though, for building an actual table. You'll wind up having to remove the blank rows yourself. This also gets a bit more complicated by the fact that a merged doc is a series of individual frames, so unless you thread them after the merge (Rorohiko has a script to do this) adjusting a frame size won't affect others on the page, and if you do thread them, the best technique I've found is to thread, then delete all but the first frame, adjust it to fill the page, then pick up the overset and autoflow ont the following apges so you have only one frame per page.
You really might want to look at something like Easy Catalog before getting too deep into this.
