Newbie: How to import text

Hi
CS4, AS2 or AS3 (haven't decided which on to use)
I have text stored in a Sql Server 2005 database, and this text I want displayed inside a textfield in flash movie.
Any ideas how to accomplish this? any guidens whould be great

I am not faniliar with interacting with an SQL database, but the general process of acquiring data from a DB involves Flash using a server side language such as PHP as a middleman to query the DB, collect the data, and echo it back to Flash in a form that it can easily read (most often XML).
Here  is a link to a  Flash - PHP - MySQL tutorial:

  • How to import text from Word without any style?

    Hi all.
    I'm working with a copy writer who has a tendency to apply a return on every line on the Word document.
    How can I over ride it so that I don't have to go back and eliminate every return in InDesign?
    Thanks!

    I use a text editing tool called TextWrangler by Bare Bone Software.
    http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
    Open in Word
    Copy/Paste into Text Wrangler
    Use the
    Text > Remove Line Breaks
    Copy/Paste into InDesign
    This will strip ALL formatting, and remove those pesky extra returns.
    -mt
    Any chance that you can educate the copy editor that the computer with MS Word is not a fancy Typerwriter and that there is no need to manually perform a carriage return?

  • Newbie- How to import package, procedures, etc?

    I used the "Database export", from Developer computer, to expoty tables,export Procedures,export Packages,etc to a file
    from SQl Developer.
    In Sql Developer, How do I import those tables, import procedures, import packages to my "LIVE REAL " computer?
    I want to copy Package, copy procedure, etc from "Developer computer" to "LIVE REAL DATA" computer?
    TIA
    Steve42

    If you have access to the 2 databases from your sqldev client (and thus have connections set up to both of them), just run the obtained export file from the dev DB as script (F5), using the connection to the production DB (drop-down in the upper right corner).
    Have fun,

  • How to import text from Word and retain italics and/or indented text?

    Is it possible to import or copy text from Word into InDesign and retain italics or text that is indented in the Word version?

    just wanna edit wrote:
    Thank you, I think I understand the idea of "place" (which is what I would call "paste")
    The two are not at all the same. Paste involves copying text to the clipboard and then pasting from the clipboard. Place is an import operation.

    You probably want to use external tables for this. http://tahiti.oracle.com has all the Oracle documentation on-line-- a search there should get you plenty of information.

    How can I import text produced in Pages into Adobe inDesign?

    Menu > File > Export > Word .doc/x
    I doubt it will do graphics and layout, but maybe, depending on your version of Indesign you may hit lucky (but probably not).

  • How to style text with XML import using character style that is in a group (aid:cstyle = "group1"."style1") ?

    Hello, I am using an XML file to import text into InDesign page items. Everything works well using the attribute "aid:cstyle = style1" but since the introduction of InDesign groups, our users want to use them but we do not know how to reference them in the xml attribute.
    I saw somewhere on the internet that you should use "aid:cstyle = group1:style1" or "aid:cstyle = group1|style1" but both won't work. They simply create a new ungrouped style name "group1:style1" or "group1|style1"
    So what is the right formula ?
    Thanks

    Tagged Text is nice but all the copy in your page item is one big block, no way to separate and track individual values, say in your page item you have a description and a sale price, you can't update the price without reimporting the description as well. We use many fields inside an individual page item and just as one example we need to be able to update all prices on the page without modifying anything else that shares the page items with the prices. Also XML updates you can trigger an update for the whole document in one operation, while with Tagged Text you have to "place" your text file for each individual page item you are modifying (even with scripting you call the place function as many times as you have page items). So say you have a page or document with 200 boxes across multiple layers that is a lot of individual actions.
    Anyway back to my problem.
    I've never used Mapping tas to styles before, but running some tests here I clearly don't understand it. If my text is already tagged and I map a style to a tag, it untags all my individual text elements and leaves only the page item tag, and doesn't style my text... I'm going to try and read more on this.

    Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page.  Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page.  Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.
