Orphaned textfield

I was teaching a class in creating forms with Adobe Acrobat 8 and one student somehow created a textfield that had no name and couldn't be selected. She said it happened to her before also. The field was just an empty rectangle with handles. I tried various ways but could never select it to delete it. When I tried to create another textfield to put over it, I could create a new one but I could do no calculations with it as none of the other fields in the form showed up in the calculation boxes. It was like none of the other fields existed, but they all were highlighted as we were using the textfield tool.
I have never run into this before in all my years of using Acrobat so I assume she is doing something to cause it, but I hav e no idea what.
Thanks a lot

What is the chance it is not a text field, but a text box or such? Does it highlight when you change to the text-field menu selection?
There are one or two experts here that likely know right off hand what to do, but maybe I have given some useful thought. Bill

Problem of defining value to a textfield in MovieClip

hello,dear everyone
there is problem that realy confused me.that is the
textfield(or other display objects) in MovieClip can't be defined
when i jumpto that frame.check these simple code:
mc.stop()
function goNext(evt:Event){
mc.nextFrame()
dosth()
function dosth()
if(mc.currentFrame==2)
mc.mytext.text="hello"
nextBT.addEventListener("click",goNext)
the mc is a simple MC that have 2 frames,and the textfield
object is in the second frame.
and what i try to do is when i clicked the button,the mc
jumpto the second frame.and i define a value to that textfield.but
it's failed when i try to do like that.
as i debug the program.i found that when i define the value
to the textfield,that textfield is a Null Object(should be the
TextField object).not only the textfield not work,but also other
elements such as Button objects.
so,i am thinking that must because the objects are too late
to initialized before they be used.maybe there are some event can
tell me that all elements has been initialized,as i can use them
then.what do you think,my friend?

If all of the code you have is in the first frame, then it
has processed long before anything ever moved to the second frame.
What you could try is to have a variables layer that extends
both frames, and assign the value of the textfield text to that
variable. Make the textfield associate with that variable (in the
properties section for it), So when the movieclip moves to the
second frame the text field should automatically acquire the
variable value.
I may not have interpretted your problem correctly, so you
might have to clarify things if I missed the target.

Is there a simple way to detect a textfield value has been changed on exit?

The filler may enter the textfield then type something and revert it back,
any command that can simply detect a field's value has been changed on it's exit event?

Niall,
I was thinking if there is any simple command like xfa.event.prevText in dropdown box that I can use,
anyway, thanks for your help.

I have orphaned voice memos on my iPhone5 and cannot delete. Listed in iTunes but not on my iPhone's Voice Memo app.

When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, a bunch of voice memos were orphaned.
What this means is that when I connect my iPhone to iTunes, I see the voice memos.
They are listed in iTunes under my iPhone directories "Voice Memo" and in "Music".
But I cannot delete these.
When I go to my iPhone, the Voice memo app has changed (ok) and you can see there
are no voice memos. It appears that they are orphaned from the voice memo app.
So the voice memos are in my phone somewhere.
How can I delete them or export them or something with them?
I can't play them except on iTunes. They don't show up in Music in my iPhone.
Thanks for your Help

I have the same problem and I still can't delete that stupid song. I downloaded it from Starbucks almost over a year ago!!!

Displaying the path of the file selected by a FileChooser in a TextField

I'm just getting started with Swing. I developed a simple dialog box that has two text fields and two buttons. The objective is to open two files using those two buttons. I used FileChooser to select the files. Now, I want to display the path of the selected files in their corresponding TextFields. I use the following code to do that.
final FileChooser fc1 = new FileChooser();
final FileChooser fc2 = new FileChooser();
final TextField tf1 = new TextField();
final TextField tf2 = new TextField();
private void button1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
            int returnVal1 = fc1.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
            if (returnVal1 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                File file1 = fc1.getSelectedFile();
                String fileName1 = file1.getName();
                String filePath1 = file1.getPath();
                tf1.setText(filePath1);
private void button2ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
            int returnVal2 = fc2.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
            if (returnVal2 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                File file2 = fc2.getSelectedFile();
                String fileName2 = file2.getName();
                String filePath2 = file2.getPath();
                tf2.setText(filePath2);
}The above code works fine only for the first file. Mean the path of the file selected using fc1 is getting displayed in the tf1 TextField. But, the file selected using fc2 is not getting displayed tf2 TextField. Please help me.
Thank you :)

ProLoader and TLF TextFields do not work together!

I'm using ProLoader to load a .swf that uses TLF. The master .swf loads the target .swf and all code executes as expected with one minor glitch: the content of the loader is white/blank. Has anyone else seen this!?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is the full bug report that I tried to send Adobe, but they cap reports at 2000 characters and provide no option for uploading a source .zip. (Seriously, Adobe?) If you have time, and follow my instructions you will see how ProLoader won't even load a .swf with TLF on its stage. (Yes, I realize this different from my problem, but I'd like to demonostrate how buggy and inconsistent ProLoader is. The simple solution would be not to use TLF, and mostly likely, I will end up doing that.)
******BUG******
ProLoader loads .swf with TLF, but ProLoader is blank.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Download sample files (http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/kb/en/141/tn_14190/attachments/Load_External_SWF.zip) from the Tech Note, Load external SWF into another SWF (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/load-external-swf-swf.html).
2. Open ExternalSWF.fla and assign it a document class.
Here is mine:
package {
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
           import flash.events.Event;
          public class ExternalSWF extends MovieClip {
                    public static var DATA_LOAD_COMPLETE:String = "ExternalSWF_DataLoadComplete";
                    private var data_:String;
                    public function ExternalSWF() {}
                    //This function will be called from the .swf that loaded me.
                    public function loadData(data:String):void
                              data_ = data;
                              dispatchEvent(new Event(DATA_LOAD_COMPLETE));
                    public function get data():String { return data_; }
3. On ExternalSWF.fla's stage, change a classic TextFields into a TLF TextField.
4. In Loader_Movie.fla, change all flash.display.Loader instances to fl.display.ProLoader in order to load TLF TextFields. Also, add an event listener to myLoader for Event.COMPLETE. Here are my Loader_Movie.fla's Actions:
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.display.ProLoader;
var myLoader:ProLoader = new ProLoader();                     // create a new instance of the ProLoader class
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalSWF.swf"); // in this case both SWFs are in the same folder
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, myLoaderIsLoaded);
myLoader.load(url);                                     // load the SWF file
addChild(myLoader);                                     // add that instance to the display list, adding it to the Stage at 0,0
myLoader.x = 10;                                        // move the loaded SWF 10 pixels to the right (from the left edge)
myLoader.y = 175;                                       // move the loaded SWF 175 pixels down from the top
// (optional) load a second external SWF file
var my2ndLoader:ProLoader = new ProLoader();
var url2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalSWF2.swf");
my2ndLoader.load(url2);
addChild(my2ndLoader);                                  // optionally, you could put the 2nd SWF beneath
                                                        // the 1st by using addChildAt(my2ndLoader, 1);
// (optional) scaling of the 2nd SWF file
my2ndLoader.scaleX = 2;                                 // scale the SWF horizontally by 200%
my2ndLoader.scaleY = 2;                                 // scale the SWF vertically by 200%
function myLoaderIsLoaded(event:Event):void
          trace("The first .swf has loaded so add event listeners");
          var swf:ExternalSWF = ExternalSWF(myLoader.content);
          swf.addEventListener(ExternalSWF.DATA_LOAD_COMPLETE, allFinished);
          swf.loadData("foobar");
function allFinished(event:Event):void
          trace("Here is the data we loaded: " + ExternalSWF(myLoader.content).data);
Results:
[Trace] Output
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property __id0_ on ExternalSWF.
          at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()
          at flash.display::Sprite()
          at flash.display::MovieClip()
          at ExternalSWF()
ExternalSWF is invisible; 4 loading dots appear instead.
Expected results:
Both .swfs load without incident.
Trace output:
The first .swf has loaded so add event listeners
Here is the data we loaded: foobar
Additional notes:
I discovered this bug when my main/master .swf used ProLoader to load another .swf (with TLF on a symbol in the libary). In this case, the ProLoader appeared blank/white, not even the 4 loading dots. However, all the code in both .swfs still ran as expected (shown via the Output panel dumping all expected trace statements until execution finished).
Environment:
Adobe FLash Professional CS5.5, Version 11.5.1.349
(bug discovered while running "Test Movie" in IDE)
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz

Do you have anything that uses TLF in your preloader? It's possible that the TLF framework has made your preloader so heavy that it merely appears to not be doing anything, but the actual case is that all that stuff has to load before it can show you anything.
You may find this helpful http://jeffkamerer.com/blog/2010/08/12/using-a-custom-preloader-loop-with-tlf-text/
However, I don't really understand why you feel you have to use TLF to bring in the text from Photoshop. I think you must mean PhotoShop PSD's, because PhotoShop PNG's will not contain editable text (though Fireworks ones can). I get Photoshop comps all the time and bring the text in as Classic Text. While it's not an exact match 100% of the time, it's as close a match as you're going to get based on the limitations of Classic text. I think there's no reason for your designers to be redoing the designs--you just need to play around with the import settings and figure out what gets you close and then what tweaks you need to do to get closer.
And, to answer your question, nearly everyone creates graphics for Flash files in Photoshop, despite Fireworks being the better tool. For whatever reason, designers often aren't very adventurous when it comes to learning new tools, and nearly all art schools teach PhotoShop.
I also don't have any trouble loading CS5.5 AS3 swfs (no TLF--I just don't need the hassle) with Document Classes using an ordinary Loader. So I think there's something not right about what you're doing if you've come to the conclusion that you can't load a swf with a Document Class. Try scaling back to the bare minimum, then working up.
Finally, I just don't "get" why people do two things that you're doing (or, I do, but I think it's unnecessary and a colossal failure on Adobe's part)
Instantiating everything through code. Not only are you wasting an inordinate amount of time/code in specifying layout, you also completely lose the natural capability of Flash to compile assets throughout the whole of the swf. This means you have to have a preloader, because literally everything you ever use is embedded before the first visual frame. Contrast to using the timeline, where all you need to load the visuals for the first frame is the Document Class (which you can keep light by coding to Interfaces) and the visuals for the first frame. Anything else you need to load, you can defer to the frame that you've selected for embedding your AS Classes on.
Using a preloader at all.
My preloading strategy is very simple. I put a spinner graphic in the first frame, with the word "Loading." The playhead will stop at the frame that I've specified to use for exporting my ActionScript Classes (10--this provides enough space for the label "Loading" to be readable). When the embedded Classes and whatever is needed to display frame 11 is loaded, the playhead will continue to frame 11 by itself, with no code. On Frame 11, I have a MC that is a named instance, and I have a getter/setter pair to catch it. When the setter triggers, I know I'm ready to start the logic.
However, you could do all sorts of things, like just putting a MC there that "is" the entirety of your other logic (has what is now the Document Class of the swf you're preloading as its BaseClass).
Anyway, maybe something in my ramble will help you.

Dynamic action with function works, doesnt refresh textfield

Hi all,
experimenting with dynamic actions so I got the following setup:
I've built a screen with 2 text boxes
P7_input
P7_output
The goal is to put some tet in P7 input and have it returned with additional text in P7_OUTPUT
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PRC_ECHO
P_INPUT IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'LEEG'
, P_OUTPUT OUT VARCHAR2
) AS
BEGIN
p_output := 'Ingevoerd: ' || p_input;
END PRC_ECHO;I've created a dynamic action on the LOSE FOCUS event of item P7_INPUT.
The true action executes PL/SQL (sequence number 10)
Begin
eigen_apps.uga_prc_echo (:p7_input, :P7_OUTPUT);
end;"Page items to submit" are set to P7_INPUT, P7_OUTPUT
(and I tried with just P7_INPUT).
The second true action (sequence number 20) does a REFRESH on ITEM P7_OUTPUT (and I tried refresh region and other things I thought would make it work.)
When I enter something in P7_INPUT and tab, click or enter away from the P7_INPUT field, nothing changes in my P7_OUTPUT textfield.
Only when I hit the refresh button in my browser P7_OUTPUT is filled with 'Ingevoerd: <P7_INPUT value>.
So. The procedure does return the value into P7_OUTPUT, but I cant get an instant refresh of the P7_OUTPUT to work.
Can any of you help me?

Unable to get the value from the textfield in valueChangeEvent

Hi,
I have created one custom textField by extending the CoreInputText. Now i have attched default ValueChangeListener to it. I am using this textField in my application.
Now i type some thing and do a focus lost, the value change listener get called. i want to validate the value entered. In that listener method if i take the getSource() from ValueChnageEvent object and do a getValue() I am getting the entered value.
My problem is that if i do a getValue() of the textField i am not gettting the value entered.
How can i get the entered value from the textfield.? Is there any method to notify to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried to the value from coreInputText also. If i check the getValue method of the component, i am getting the last updated value. I have debug the FlowPhaseListsner also. And i found that this listener is calling before the updateModel phase. Due to that i am not getting the value from the Field.

URLs in orphaned file list?

when I check for orphaned files on my very old, very messy
website I see urls like "/http:/java.sun.com",
"mailto:[email protected]" and nothing happens when I choose
"open file". I can delete them from the list but when I run the
orphaned files check again they're all back! what's going on?
I recognize most of these as files and links that were
deleted long ago (them and the pages that linked to them). How is
dreamweaver finding these links and what are they doing in the

Using a button and a textfield in the same cell of a table

I have been struggling with this problem for ages, please someone help...
I am trying to implement a table similar to NetBeans property sheet editor where you have a textfield and a button with "..." in the same table cell. The button is used to invoke a custom editor.
I have most things working, custom renderers, custom editors and such.
However, the focus interactions on the table seem completely screwed. Clicking in the editor causes the cell to switch to editing mode as expected. Pressing cursor down or tab, which should close the editor and move focus to the next cell down does not work - the editor closes but the focus disappears to a completely different component elsewhere on my GUI.
My textfield and button are on a JPanel, and I return that JPanel when getTableCellEditorComponent is called.
If I switch out the JPanel and instead return the textfield, the focus works as normal.
I've even looked at the NetBeans source but I can't work out what their trick is.
Any tips would be gratefully received.
TIA.

Thanks for your time, Jeanette...
Here is a bare-bones example of the problem I'm having. I'm running on JDK1.4 and JDK1.3.1_02.
I've tried some tricks (hacks) with getNextFocusableComponent and requestDefautFocus and such but with no success.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
* This example shows a keyboard/focus navigation problem when using a JPanel
* as a table cell editor. The JPanel contains a textfield and a button.
* Click in the editor to invoke it, and tab-off (or press cursor down). The
* edit ends, but the focus disappears rather than moving to the next cell in
* the table.
* Change the line that returns the panel to return a text field instead, and
* all is well.

Transparent TextField with Synth Look and Feel

I am trying to use synth to implement a textfield with a transparent background, and having some problems with it. I can see my panel and the transparent field fine enough in the beginning, but when the text in the field changes, it writes right over the previous text and becomes a pile of unreadable white marks. I've experimented with varying degrees of transparency, but you can still see the old field underneath slightly. Does anyone have any suggestions? My code is below.
Thanks.

As its name implies, an imagePainter element creates a SynthPainter that paints from an image. For example:
<synth>
<style id="example">
<state>
<color value="white" type="BACKGROUND"/>
</state>
<imagePainter method="panelBackground" path="background.png"
sourceInsets="5 6 6 7" paintCenter="false"/>
<insets top="5" bottom="6" right="7" left="6"/>
</style>
<bind style="example" type="region" key="Panel"/>
</synth>

How to get the last element of a structure in a textfield in DesignStudio

Hello,
how can I get the last element of a structure within a bex query?
Within the structure we are working with dates that dynamically are buiId (input date - offsets for several months).
I have to show the last value in a single textfield within DesignStudio.
Regards
Frank

Hi Frank,
in DS 1.3 you can use forEach function to get the last element of BEx structure (or n-th element in general using if condition)
var array = DS_CROSSTAB1.getMembers("DHGY5D6XEFO1K45SB00BXFH7A",10);
var lastMember="";
array.forEach(function(element, index) {
lastMember = element.text;
TEXT_1.setText("Last structure element: "+lastMember);

Problem with TextField formatting

I'm having a little bit of a problem with this very basic bit
of code. The following code works fine: (I apologize for not having
it in a format that may be more suitable)
this.createTextField("my_text", this.getNextHighestDepth(),
10, 70, 400, 100);
my_text.text = "This is my TextField.";
//my_text.embedFonts = true;
However, for some reason, this doesn't work. I'm baffled by
why uncommenting this simple line of code makes it not show up:
this.createTextField("my_text", this.getNextHighestDepth(),
10, 70, 400, 100);
my_text.text = "This is my TextField.";
my_text.embedFonts = true;
Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is that you forgot a few things to work with
embedded fonts...
1) Have you embedded the font you want to use inside your
library and given it a unique id.
2) If you did #1, try this...

Issue with setting float point in Textfield

hi
i have an issue with float input in a textfield.
what i want to do is.
when the user start typing numerics it should accept from right hand side and keep appending value from right hand side.
for ex
if i want to enter 123.45
user starts entering
1 then it should display as 0.01
2 then it should display as 0.12
3 then it should display as 1.23
4 then it should display as 12.34
5 then it should display as 123.45
to achive this i have written the code as below

this is not working as desired pls help me.
can we use this code and get the desired result or is there any other way to do this.
it is very urgent for me pls help immediately
thanks in advance

Hi camickr
i learned how to format the code now, and u also responded for my testarea problem , iam very much thankful to u, and now i repeat the same problem what i have with a text field.
actually i have window with a textfield on it and while end user starts entering data in it , it should be have as follows
when the user start typing numerics it should accept from right hand side and keep appending value from right hand side.
first the default value should be as 0.00 and as the user starts entering
then it is as follows
for ex
if i want to enter 123.45
user starts entering
1 then it should display as 0.01
2 then it should display as 0.12
3 then it should display as 1.23
4 then it should display as 12.34
5 then it should display as 123.45
i hope u will give me quick reply because this is very hard time for me.
