Scrollable text out of control...

When I post the .swf file to the net inside a dynamic
scrollable text box I created the font (Myriad Pro) defaults to a
sarif font on PC's, and on my Mac Safari is is not anti aliased.
Just one more thing...I justified the text inside the box and when
it gets published it never justifies.

What are you talking about?
Please clearly explain what the issue is.

Creating Scrollable text frames in InDesign

I've been trying to create scrollable text frames in InDesign CS6 and, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to do so for an interactive PDF.
I've done so for touchscreen devices before through DPS and the scrollable frame option, but I've never tried to do it for something non-touchscreen/mobile. I don't even know if it's possible, but I am sending this to someone who may not have touchscreen access with touchscreen scroll functionality and I wouldn't want to risk a good portion of text to go unread because of a lack-of functionality.
So, I guess my question is: Is there a way to create a scrollable text field for an interactive PDF that could be scrolled through using a mouse or keyboard?
Thanks in advance!

No. It's DPS only.

Out of control thread

Is there any way to close an out of control thread so that posters can respond to current and applicable problems? Perhaps tell them to post new topics instead of continuing that one?
On the Using Your MBP forum, there is a thread that is so long and so convoluted now that it is confusing brand new MBP users who are saying that they think that they now must have problems because everyone does.

Hi Rhyd!
If you want to alert the Hosts, of concerns you may have about a post or topic, you can also use the Report this post link, which appears in the bottom right corner of each post.
If reporting an individual post, or reply, in the text field, include a note explaining your reason for reporting.
If you have an issue with the entire thread, such as the one you discussed here, I suggest that you report from the first post in the Topic, and explain your concerns exactly.
The Hosts can then determine the best course of action.

Ebooks, scrollable text, pdfs

Hello all,
I am creating a simple ebook in indesign, using scrollable text. It is not working in an interactive pdf export. Is there a workaround for this?
I am creating a simple editors proofing pdf, and it would be great if that worked. I can create an alternative layout for the pages with scrollable text, but i rather do extra coding work than, "proofing" layout work.
Also, I think we may have other applications for the interactive pdf besides proofing if I can get it to work.
Also, I am having interactive pdf issues with buttons revealing object states and folio slideshows.
if there is a book or adobe tv lesson, please feel free to share.
Thank you for your time in advance.

Scrollable text is a DPS feature as are slideshows via MSO. MSOs also
work in SWF.
You may want to buy this book: http://amzn.to/13N06jN , Digital
Publishing with Adobe InDesign CS6. It will help you sort out the
different options for electronic publishing.

Scrollable Text

Hope somebody can help...
I've got scrollable text in my movie, and at one point i need
to have a white filled rectange cover it up so that it is not
visible. Unfortunatly the actual scrollbar always shows through
even though the text itelf is covered.
Anyone?

Yes, the default scroll control for a text sprite is always
Direct to
Stage, and so it shines through. You can create your own
scroll bar,
or, you could change the text member's frame property from
"scrolling"
to "fixed" when you want to hide the scroll bar and then back
to
"scrolling" when you want to show it again.

Scrollable Text Area

Hi, I have inherited a website that uses javascript/DHTML to
create a scrollable text area. I suspect it was created using a
Dreamweaver extension as the pages with scrollable text contain the
following comment lines:
// Extension developed by David G. Miles
// Original Scrollable Area code developed by Thomas Brattli.
I’m no Javascript or DHTML expert but it looks good and
it still works in IE7. My question is, how do I edit the text that
scrolls? It is not initially visible in design view, unless I place
the cursor in either of these two lines in the code window:
<div id="divContainer" style="z-index: 2">
<div id="divContent">
Although this reveals the text in the design window, if I try
and click on the text to edit it, it disappears. I can find the
text in the code window, and I could edit it there, but I have a
lot of changes to make and I would prefer to make them with some
visual feedback of the formatting. Does anybody know if this is
possible?
I've tried searching for info on the web, but all the pages
that I can find point to
http://www.z3roadster.net/dreamweaver/.
This address does not exist and the domain (www.z3roadster.net)
comes up with an asp.net error page.
Also, is it necessary for the site to use frames for this
Javascript/DHTML to work?

Now way for anyone to know for sure without a link to your
page to see what code it uses. One suggestion would be to copy and
paste the text into another document make the necessary edits and
then paste it back into the original document.

Unless the script you are talking about uses a iframe within
the divs to create the scrollable area (which is doesn't seem to do
if you can see the text of the scrollable area in the code), then
it seems from your description that it should work, but only way to
tell is for you to pull the frames out.

Trackpad out of control

Hello,
i have a problem with my new MacBook Pro,
the mouse is out of control when I'm using the trackpad,
it randomly clicks, makes new folders, and it is totally out of contol,
it looks something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fhMt73LtW4
when I use an Usb mouse it stops for a while,
i went to the apple store, and they replaced the trackpad, but the issue didnt go away...
i reset Pram and Smc but nothnig helped...
Can anyone help me,
Tnx

I have a somewhat similar annoying problem. As I type (clearly not touching the trackpad button) the mouse magically clicks. This either highlights what I just typed then deletes it with the next letter, or clicks another field so there is no cursor in the text field at all. I have applecare but I am in Thailand where I am unsure how good it will be. Also I can't be without my computer for long as I use it regularly for business.

Costs are out of control!

Wow, I am exhausted after searching your website for 30 minutes to find an email address. NOT customer friendly, and this is coming for a long time, loyal Verizon wireless user. I have watched your prices spiral out of control, and I have had enough.
I have been waylaid recovering from surgery and am just getting around to paying bills. And WOW - what the hell is going on with my phone bill? It has SKYROCKETED! I even went to the store last month in an effort to save some money, but now I am paying more than ever. This has got to stop.
Every other phone company is running specials except for Verizon. I am one step away - ONE - from walking away as a customer. What can be done about these EXCESSIVE bills TODAY? I can join Sprint with my boyfriend, his son and ex-wife ---- 4 lines for $100 a month (less with my discount) with more gigs than Verizon, and they will buy out my contract. $25 bucks a month for unlimited talk and text? Help me now or watch me walk.

I am in the same boat. Got a broken arm, needed the phone a lot, thought I could upgrade to 900 minutes for the remaining 9 days of cycle and onward, and the new bill is a full 75 dollars more than I expected. They charge you to upgrade or change plans. Hey, I wanted to give you more money! But don't steal it out of my pocket and then not have someone who can make an adjustment quickly.
I've been a customer over ten years.
Time to switch companies? If I don't hear good news back shortly, that is the plan. I don't count.
No they don't charge you to change plans they do prorate you. Nothing got stolen you should have backdated the change to the start of the billing period. You honestly thought you we going to get 450 AND 900 minutes in a month?
here's how it works in your scenario. you had 450 minutes 9 days left that means you used 21 days. 21/30 is .7. So you get 450 X .7 or 315 minutes in the first 21 days. Anything over that is going to be an overage charge. The last 9 days out of 30 is .3 so 900 X .3 is 270. So you'd get 270 minutes for the remaining 9 days. Anything over that is an overage. If you had backdated the change to the start of the billing period you would have had the full 900 minutes for the whole month. I'm 100% sure on the website it ask you if you want to backdate the change.
Also if you don't want to worry about overages on minutes then switch to More Everything, UNLIMITED minutes. Good luck with T-Mobile's cruddy coverage. Hope you don't plan on traveling.

Limiting Scrollable Text Pane Memory Consumption

Hi!
I have written an interface for an online application which will require to operate continuously. Every couple of seconds a new line of text is added to a Scrollable Text Pane.
This works well, however, I would like to ensure that I limit the amount of memory used so the application does not run out of memory.
Can anyone suggest a way for me to do this?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi again,
hm ... with a StringTokenizer like this
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(getText(),"\n");
if (st.hasMoreTokens())
int cutLength = st.nextToken().length()+1;
// here remove that part of text as posted before
hope this helps now - it only removes, if there is a complete line

Scrollable text issues

Hi everyone,
I'm about to convert a book to be used on an iPad. The book consists of several chapters/articles that range from 4 to 30+ pages.
On some of the pages I work with scrollable text.
My workflow is the same as described here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f605e 8ea44412b13edc5ec-8000.html
Most of the times it works as promised, but sometimes it doesn't! I have try to find out why it sometimes doesn't work. It seems random and it's driving me crazy.
I have experimented with creation order, i.e. container frame first, then text frame, etc.
I have done tests with renaming the container frame and text frame in the layers pannel
I have made sure that both frames are correctly aligned, etc.
I have reset and re-applied the Pan Only option in the Overlay Creator panel
I have made sure that the workflow and settings are the same on all pages
but still it sometimes simply doesn't work!
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this. Any ideas?
Kind regards
Tim

Hi Bob,
I have tested again.
In a short article (4 pages) everything works just fine in horizontal and vertical layout.
However in a long article (41 pages) the vertical scrolling of text in the horizontal layout simply doesn't work except a one exception. I have checked all the settings - they are identical.
The strange thing is that if I preview the horizontal layout in the ADOBE Content Viewer all the scrolling works just fine, but as soon as I add the complete article consisting of horizontal and vertical layout to the folio things stop to work.
This is really frustrating. Maybe it's necessary to re-think the layout and avoid scrollable content since it so unreliable.
Right now I have no idea how get this to work.
The tools I use are: InDesign CS5.5 on OSX 10.6.8, FolioPanel-CS55-12_1_3, FolioProducerTools-CS55-1-9-1
Any help would be apprechiated.
Kind regards
Tim

CP8: Custom question using multiple TEBs / Scrollable Text Widgets

Hi,
I want to create a custom question with multiple Text Entry Boxes (TEBs) or Scrollable Text Widgets (STWs) that is compatible with HTML5.
User has to enter just one word in each TEB / STW i.e. a one line STW.
I want the user to be able to Retry the question i.e. click Retry button to automatically clear the TEBs / STWs that are incorrect.
Question is not being scored or reported to an LMS.
TEBs:
I'm assuming you can't clear a TEB so I tried using a STW.
STWs:
FYI: I'm clearing the STW using Null.
The issues I am trying to resolve are:
1. Disabling the Enter key so that the 1 line STW will behave like a TEB i.e. doesn’t move to the 2nd line, and the Up Down scrollable indicators aren't displayed.
There is a post that suggests executing JS on Slide Enter but I already have an Advanced Action associated with Slide Enter.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1451011?q=disabling%20Enter%20key
2. When retrying a question how do I disable STWs i.e. ones that contains a correct answer so user can't change it. (I know the Disable action won't work)
I am using Captivate 8.0.1.242 on Windows 8.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Donal.

Some answers, probably not all what you want. I blogged about using the Scrolling Text (formerly the TextArea widget) several times.
In Captivate 8 you can indeed control what is shown in the Scrolling Text Interaction, by changing the associated variable. That was not possible before this version (have been begging for it, finally with success) and it is still not possible for a Text Entry Box. You can change the value of the variable, but it will not be visible in the TEB.
An interaction is automatically reset when re-entering the slide, maybe that can help you as well? That is not the case for a TEB.
Disabling has no sense for an interaction that is static, only for interactive objects (and interactions). That means that you can disable a TEB, but not a Text Scrolling Interaction.
Maybe this tip to prevent changing a correct answer for the interaction: replace the interaction by a similar looking text container with the value of the variable if the answer is correct.

Making string item text into a scrollable text

does anyone have any advice or links which can give me details on how to make a stringtext item into scrollable text .thank you .

Actually, I think the question is a little more complex than at it at first reads.
As Viking points out, there's no correlation between the text object "abc" and a variable named abc. Both can peacefully coexist in the same script.
However, I suspect that what you're asking for is the ability to create ad-hoc, on-the-fly variables using some unknown/variable input as the AS variable name. That's not possible (at least not without an insane amount of work, heartache, and blood pressure pills).
Depending on your use case it may be easier to create records with your data, using the (unknown) data as the label along with some stored value:
set myVariables to {}
repeat 3 times
set varName to text returned of (display dialog "Enter a variable name:" default answer "")
set varVal to text returned of (display dialog "Enter value for " & varName default answer "")
copy {label:varName, val:varVal} to end of myVariables
end repeat
return myVariables
but there's no easy way to create a variable in your script based on the user input.

Issue in wrapping of text in TextEdit control

Hi,
I'm developing an occasionally connected application using NetWeaver Mobile 7.1. In one of the view, I use TextEdit control to display the address information where the address is a multiline text data. During testing of the application in the simulator, the wrapping of text in the TextEdit control is not working properly. The wrapping property of TextEdit control is set to "soft" but the text is not getting wrapped. Even I tried the other option "hard" wrapping but it throws some error while building of the application.
Please suggest a solution to do wrapping of text using TextEdit control.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
DVR.

Hi Nipun,
The rows and cols properties are already set and also the data is multiline but the text is not wrapping.
Say the properties of a TextEdit control rows is "4" and cols is "30" was set. The data is also a multiline text say each line has more than 30 characters. During wrapping of text with in TextEdit control the first row should have only 30 characters and rest should be wrapped off to the next row and so on.
But during execution what happens is the text is not getting wrapped instead the first row itself has all the characters of first line of the text and second row has next line of text and so on. The text in a row can be scrolled through using horizontal scrollbar.
My need is the horizontal scroll bar should not come and the text need to the wrapped off with number of cols specified.
Regards,
DVR

Dynamic header text in table control - Dialog programming

Hi All,
I have a table control on one of my dialog screens. I need to dynamically change the column header texts on this control in my PBO. Does anyone know how to do this? I have found all kinds of ways to modify the other characteristics of the fields at run time in the PBO (active, input/output, invisible, etc.) - but not to change the header text! Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Matt

Hi Hymavathi,
I appreciate your help! This didn't solve the issue, however,...I have used the method you'd mentioned before (many times) for setting it inside the loop at screen:
%_<screenname>_%_APP_%-TEXT = <text something>.
- but only in ABAP reports. It doesn't seem to recogize it (the table control column header text) within a dialog program. I keep getting a compile error. (saying that the %_<screenname>_%_APP_%-TEXT doesn't exist.
I tried the suggestion that you stated below (from lateesh) - yet it only let me place i/o field in title text area (not the column header text). Am still searching...
