Resize textarea based on external text doc

I am wanting to make a scroller. I have it all working fine
except the fact that i need the textArea to resize itself based on
the amount of text that it is loaded. I have created one that
scrolls vertical, i used scroller._height = scroller.length. and
that sizes the text area to the amount of text that is there. But
not i need a horizontal, side to side, and am not sure how to get
the text area to size its width. Can anyone help?
Thank you for your time

The table column size is inconsistent, I set the columns in the table view and the items in the initialize method. I execute a service and task from a button action that loads data into the list, if I don't reset the columns in the table view in the succeed method then each column is the same width regardless of the content in the cells. If I do reset the table columns in the succeed method then the columns are resized based on content.
I don't think it should be a requirement to reset the columns just to get the column widths to set based on the content in the cells. Is there a method on the table column or view that will resize the cells based on the cell content? I would prefer the largest value; column header content or the longest cell content for a column.

TableView auto resize columns based on header text width or cell content

Is there a method on the tableview or tablecolumn to automatically resize based on the content of the hearder or data?
If not what approach can used used with JavaFX to calculate the string width based on the current font?

Layer Source Text linking to external text. (no code in doc!)

I've seen linking to text documents with code snippets in it.
So that means the external text document must contain bits of scripting.
I would like to link to txt documents (or csv) that do not contain code.
Total noob users must be able to link a text to a After Effects project.
I have a website data catcher which exports CSV values.
It would be ideal if After Effects can hoover up the text and put certain pieces into certain source texts.
We're talking automated sports cards here.
Is this possible without adding code to a text dump?
Or is this just impossible?

The basic idea is to use something like this:
myPath = "/c/test/txt.txt";
$.evalFile (myPath);
The text file does need to contain legal JavaScript code, but it could be as simple as this for a text layer:
"this is a test"
You generally want to wrap the $.evalFile() in a try/catch so that you can have an error string like "Not found." display if your path is bad, like this:
myPath = "/c/badpath/txt.txt";
try{
$.evalFile (myPath);
}catch(err){
"Not found."

Drag and drop external text into a Flex component

Hi,
is there any way to allow drag and drop of external text (for
example, selected text from another browser or even from the
address bar) into a Flex component like TextArea? I know how to
drag and drop between two different Flex components but in this
case, the source is external. There must be something I can do to
TextArea like its dragdrop property to allow this feature... any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

Short answer: Yes, as long as it is an AIR app.
Browser-based Flex apps do not have access to
ClipBoardFormats, so I'm not sure it is possible to do what I think
you want to do -- have a web-based Flex app that allows you to drag
and drop selected text from other apps. Most possibly because of
the security sandbox that the Flash player runs in.
However, if you wanted to do it in an AIR app, I built this
as an example for you (you can view a "cleaner" version with proper

Appending an external text file

Hi everyone. I need a little help. I'm trying to append an external text file. I'm able to read it using the "in.readLine()" and "BufferedReader" commands but can't figure how to append it. The reason being is I'm trying to add new information to each new line. For example my ext. text file looks something like this:
Homer Simpson 3489 Evergreen Terrace Springfield
Marge Simpson 3489 Evergreen Terrace Springfield
Bart Simpson 3489 Evergreen Terrace Springfield
Please note that I'm not using a string tokenizer to read the text file. If someone could please give me an example to append information to each new line I would greatly appreciate it. Also please note that the text file is being read into a vector to hold the information. Thank you.

open the FileWriter or FileOutputStream you use in "append" mode..
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/FileOutputStream.html
FileOutputStream(String name, boolean append)
          Creates an output file stream to write to the file
          with the specified name.http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/io/FileWriter.html
FileWriter(String fileName, boolean append)
          Constructs a FileWriter object given a file name
          with a boolean indicating whether or not to append
          the data written.

Find Change through external text file

Hello folks
I am bit pretty in InDesign scripting so could you please look into this.
How can i change any particular text field in Indesign CS3 document from text file.
I do have find change script but for each InDesign document specific text file is assigned.
So each time i have to modify find change GREP property that is also repetetive of work. Is there any way to get find change information should be extract from external text file.
Many Tanks in advance

In the FindChangeByList script, you could customize the function myFindFile(myFilePath) {...} as to search the FindChangeList text file in the document location rather than the script location. That's an example. The question is: given a document, where will you have the corresponding FindChangeList?

Add one character at a time from External Text file

Hi,
I'm using Flash 8, and I have created a standard Dynamic
field that pulls the text from an external text file using the
LoadVars function and it works fine.
To get the correct effect for the design, I would like to be
able to create the illusion that the characters are being typed out
when the page loads as if someone has started typing and also hear
the "Typewriter Clack" each time a character appears.
The only place I have found an example is on the Syphon
Filter Game website which seems to have created the illusion
perfectly:
http://www.syphonfilterdarkmirror-thegame.com/en_IE/
(Check out the bottom right section)
I could create a Movieclip and add a character each frame
but, I would like to be able to edit the text when required via a
text file or even ASP or PHP if neccessary.
Any help would be grateful.
Cheers

Importing and flowing multiple text docs into InDesign CS3

I have multiple plain text files where each runs several pages long that I want to import into one document in ID CS3. I want to import them and have them flow in a single threaded text frame one after another over multiple pages. With a single multi-page text doc all I have to do is select Place and hold down the shift key and InDesign will add the necessary pages and flow the copy until the end of the doc. However, if I shift select the docs and try import them into a text frame by holding down the shift key, it will just flow the first doc in the group with no indication of overset text. I have tried placing multiple text docs holding down the shift and command key and that brings in all my docs on the first page but in separate text boxes with overset text for each doc. Is there a way to do this in InDesign or perhaps a plugin that can do this?
Thanks
Randy

I tried to find this. It was posted 4/21/08 by Peter Kahrel (I can tell, because I can see my side of the discussion in my Sent folder) in response to a post I made entitled "Multiple Files". Maybe I'm not searching the forum archives properly, or maybe this was during the time last year when Adobe was trying (and failing) to update the forums. In any case, I'm sure at this point that Peter posted this for public consumption, so I don't think he's going to mind if I post it again:

Copy and paste everything between the hyphen lines (not including the hyphen lines) into a text editor and save with a .js extension and put it in your scripts folder. Should be something like:
D:\Program Files\Adobe\InDesign CS3\Adobe InDesign CS3\Scripts\Scripts Panel
After alphabetizing your files and putting them in their own folder, copy the path and run the script. It will make a new folder and place all your files in one continuous story. I don't know how it will work with .txt files.

How to load external text file into a Form?

Hi,
I made a menu with 1-5 in a Form and 5 external text files. I want the user who is able to view the text content of the text file when he chooses one of them from the menu. And the text file screen has a "Back" command button to let him go back.
How can I do it and can it support other languages such as Chinese and Japanese?
Thanks for help.
gogo

Sorry, I made the mistake about the subject, it should be loading local file, not external file through http.
I wrote a method but it throwed an exception when the midlet was run.
private void loadText()
try {
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/text.txt");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
int chr;
while ((chr = is.read()) != -1)
sb.append((char) chr);
is.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error occurs while reading file");
I put the text.txt file in the same folder with the main file (extends midlet). How can I load the text content and display it on StringItem?
Thanks for any help.

AS3: Loading External Text into a Master File

I have a master file that I want to load an external text
file into. This external text file will also have an external style
sheet applied to it.
In your opinion, which way is best to load the external text
file?
1) Generate a text field dynamically in the master file using
the TextField class and then loading the external text in.
2) Placing (at authoring time) a dynamic text box on the
master file's stage and loading the text in.
3) Placing a dynamic text box in a separate .swf file and
then loading that external swf in to the master file, then loading
the external text into the text box.
Any opinions?
Thanks...
Brenda

On my project im going with the third choise, dont ask why,
cause i just do.
only difference is that i also lad my data into this external
swf file.
in other words i use mainly second as well as im going with
the third one.
In my opinion, no idea if thats the best way, but i certanly
know that its (for me) most confortable way.

Accented Characters Support for External Text Files

Hi there! I created a site which imports external text from a
TXT file. The text is in Spanish, so I need accented vowels and
Ñs. I've tried using simple text and HTML text... but when I
run my movie, it doesn't show these international characters.
Instead, I get some weird symbols or question marks... What should
I do? Thanks in advance!

How can I automatically rename files based on an excel doc?

I am a scientist and recieve data files from some of my experiments with arbitrary, computer-generated names. For example, if I perform an experiment with four samples, which I name Sample1, Sample2, Sample3, and Sample4, I get back 4 data files named J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, J30935F05.ab1 and J30935G05.ab1 along with an Excel doc that lists my names for the samples (sample1, sample 2, etc.) in one column and the computer-generated names for their corresponding files (J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, etc.) next to them in another. Therefore, I must open the Excel file and look up which file corresponds to which sample before I can begin processsing my data. Usually these experiments involve a large enough number of samples (70-100 or so) such that looking everything up in the Excel doc gets very tedious and is quite time-consuming. Is there any way to create an automator workflow, applescript, or some other solution to rename these files based on the Excel doc? To clarify, I would like an automator workflow that would take a folder of arbitrarily named files, look up the names I have for the samples in the Excel doc, and rename the files accordingly. In the example, my folder containing files J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, J30935F05.ab1 and J30935G05.ab1 would be turned into a folder containing the files renamed as Sample1.ab1, Sample2.ab1, Sample3.ab1, and Sample4.ab1. This example is a bit simplified, however, and trying a simple trick of just systematically renaming files within the folder would not work--both the original and the new file names must be looked up in the Excel doc, as these change dramatically from experiment to experiment. I would also need to maintain the file extension on each file after being renamed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Saving a LinkedList into a text doc using bufferwriter

hi
I'm having some problem attempting to save my linked into a text doc(.txt). By using the scanner class i to read another text doc and have it put each work in that document as an single element in the linkedlist. But when i try to write the linked list into a text doc it only writes the last word / element that is in the linkedlist into a text document. How do i get my bufferwriter or filewrite to same all the words and prehaps in a format that i want?
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class LibraryLinkedList {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,
   IOException{
      File file1 = new File(args[0]);
        Scanner in = new Scanner(file1);
        LinkedList<String> lst = new LinkedList<String>();
        //... Read and build list of words.
        while (in.hasNext()) {
            String word = in.next();
            lst.add(word);
       /// loop to print list forward.
        //    Could also use an Iterator (forward only) or
        System.out.println(" Print words in order of entry");
        for (String s : lst) {
            System.out.println(s);
        /// this print statement is for testing
         BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(
        "s.txt"));
      PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(out);
      output.print(s);
      output.close();
}eg.
1. i have a doc with words("apple chair book house")
2. i have a testing print statement which prints the words that have been scanned and placed into linked list and it prints it like this
apple
chair
book
house
3. then when i attempt to write into a txt doc it only has ("house") in the doc

hey
say i wanted to add a numbering system for each linkedlist item, i've used another for loop to try and attempt this but what happens is that it loops too much.
eg what i wanted was something like
1. apple 2.house 3. somthing ect
but what happens is
1.apple 2.apple 3.apple ... 15.apple 1.house 2.house 3 house..... 15.house
my code is as follows
for(String g :lst) {
            for(int i = 1; i < lst.size(); i++){
            //out.write("#" + i); for loop placing numbers and increasing
            out.write(" #"+ i + g);}
out.write(" "); // add a new line
out.close();
    }
