Selecting Embedded Bitmap Text - Problem

I tried to create a Flash TextField, containing Text with
maximum sharpness.
So i embedded Verdana Font Size 8 as Bitmap Text, and set
sharpness and thickness to my benefits.
Now the Text ist displayed cleary, but if you try to select
or write into the text box it really suxs:
The Cursor position gets a higher distance to the text while
the text line gets larger.
Anyone know this problem, i searched this forum but i didnt
find a solution about this prob.

I assume you opened a new Gateway session after you have added that parameter and that you see it in the trace file....
There's a trial ODBC driver from DataDirect (www.datadirect.com) available for download and which you can test. Check if that driver works. If yes, make sure you have the latest ODBC driver release applied to your env that matches your configuration and if needed ask the ODBC vendor for help.

Bitmap text (no anti-alias)

It' possible in Actionscript 3 to use a font ("Munica
Regular", 8 -
http://pixelfonts.style-force.net/download/munica-regular/)
without antialiasing?
I've embedded the font:
@font-face {
src:local("Munica Regular"); // also valid
sr:url("MUNIRG__.TTF");
fontFamily: municaRegular;
then ,
tfHeader=new TextFormat();
tfHeader.font="municaRegular";
tfHeader.color=0xFFFFFF;
tfHeader.size=8;
var myText:TextField=new TextField();
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.defaultTextFormat=tfHeader;
myText.text="My embedded font";
All works well but the rendering appear so blurred (aliated).
I've tried with antiAliasType="advanced" and some value of
gridFitType, but nothing great.
It's possible to say "Use bitmap text and don't apply
antialiasing"? antiAliasEnabled=false?
Thanks

Can someone please help me with the above problem?
I've published two images to show what appen.
This it's the correct
one (without embedding font and with font installed in the client
machine).
This it's the wrong one
(with font embedded and not installed in the client machine).
I'm so sad... thanks

Bitmap text show wrong accents

Hello,
I have this problem with text set to bitmap text rendering.
With fonts like pixel fonts like standard 07_51, Kroeger etc. I can't get them to show the right accents (éèà...).
This shows on stage and in runtime and it occurs with static, dynamic fields and input fields.
When I choose anti-aliasing then it's ok, but that isn't the purpose with those pixel fonts, right?
I've set the correct font-embedding settings.
I checked it on two computers with
Flash CS4 v10 on MacOS X 10.6.2, Belgian Keyboard, FontExplorer Pro for font management.
Any ideas?

Library font Bitmap text (no anti-alias) Flash CS5

Ok, in previous version of flash we had this window:
But now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]? And don't give me the GridFitType.PIXEL solution, I want true Bitmap text.

Can someone please help me with the above problem?

Blurry text using Bitmap text (pixelfont) alternative

I've placed a bitmap text (no anti-alias) inside a movieclip
and it looks crisp and clean when exported to swf.
Now I have dragged a copy of that movieclip on stage
and it becomes blurry/fuzzy as soon as I export it to swf
(the original is still clean/crisp)
Why is this happening and how do I solve the problem?
Thx for listening/AquaStealth

Do you use a pixelfont? Whats the font name? If you use
pixelfont it needs
to be placed at exact X-Y position (non-comma value)

Selecting textframe and text inside with 3 clicks

This was possible in InDesign-Versions previous to InDesign CC. Now, if I double-click a textframe i have to wait 1 second, then i'm able to select text with another double click.
That is very annoying and disturbs my working process. Is someone else facing this issue?
The answer from the Adobe LiveChat-Support was "we have something changed" and questions in the kind of "First: Have you already turned your machine on?".
Friendly as they are the gave me an mysterious adress to a cave somewhere in US, where I can dig for further answers. Fine.

Sorry, that is not my point, changing settings as you propose doesn't solve my problem.
This triple click is meant if the cursor is already blinking in the selected textframe.
@Peter Spier: I change nothing in my prefs. Thats how it works since I installed InDesign CC without any changes.
No matter how often I click once - InDesign CC does not select text. I have to wait one second and then I have to double click, or triple click to select a word or a line.
I older versions it was possible just to click three times and text was selected - without switchen first to the text-tool.
I work very fast on an InDesign-Document, often image-frames and text-frames step by step. So it slows me down if I have to wait one second so I'm able to select text...
I try this explanation, so you can reproduce the error:
1. create a text frame and enter some text
2. Switch from text-tool to the selection-tool (Key "V" or Escape-Key)
3. Click several times (i mean 10 times and more) fast on a word in the textframe. You will see that in InDesign CC no text will be selected. You have to wait 1 second, then the text-tool will be activated and then you are able to select text. I previous InDesign versions after 3 clicks there was text selected - without selecting first the text-tool.
Understand my problem? In a fast workflow it is unacceptable to wait 1 second because of a UI-Bug...

When does a selection in a text field in a Finder window lose focus?

Hello,
this problem has emerged on account of an Applescript file that needs to access a text selection (portion of a filename highlighted) in an open Finder window.
The bare minimum code to demonstrate the problem is this:
*tell application "System Events"*
* *tell process "Finder"*
* *set selText to value of attribute "AXSelectedText" of text field 1*
* *end tell*
*end tell*
other variants also exist, using "keystroke" but that does not work either. I am not asking help with Applescript here, it is here only to give a sense of the problem.
My conclusion thus far is that the selection lose focus before the script process can access it. In the best case I get the full filename by using "attribute" and copy of the alias onto the clipboard by using "keystroke".
So my problem is this:
It seems that the focus stays alive when one clicks on a menubar item, any click on any other item on the desktop, including windows of irrelevant applications, changes the focus from the selection within the text field corresponding to a filename, to the filename itself.
And my question is this:
Is there a changeable setting within the OS that has to do with how long the focus stays alive on a selection within a text field corresponding to a filename? If yes, how do I change it?
Thanks

Thanks for clarifying. Never heard it called a text field, just a label. So, exactly what are you trying to accomplish? Is it that you want AS to select the file, highlight its label so you can edit/change it with some other text? If so, have you checked out the Finder scripts installed on the machine, especially the Finder script *Add to Finder Names*?
UI Element Inspector calls the activated/editable filename a text field.
Actually I want to modify one of the stock Finder scripts. I want to be able to select part of the file name in the active text field of the Finder window, then activate the script, *have the script pick up the selection* as a text string then use it internally.
The bolded step is the one in question.
Every attempt fails on the fact that the focus is lost from the "text field" and it reverts to the label for the filename, if I may use this distinction, (or to "FinderItem" in the parlance of UIEI) as soon as another process begins, it seems. So when the script becomes active, but before any of the commands is executed, the selection disappears.
My guess is that it is not some absolute necessity but a setting that perhaps can be changed somehow.

Cant select and delete text messages

Since the latest ios7 update i can no longer select and delete text messages. I have to delete the entire conversation. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?

Tap and hold on a text within a conversation. Tap "More" in the pop up menu. Select the messages you want to delete by tapping in the little circles at the left of the messages. Tap the trash can in the lower left of the screen.
Best of luck.

Select non-consecutive text

How do I select non-consecutive text in V5.1? I have a new macbook air and am new to apple. This is such a simple thing, surely there is a way.

Yeah!
Some people seem to just bulldoggedly want to head deeper into the swamp.
I was just at the local PC User Group yesterday, listening to their tales of woe.
I carefully and clearly explained why they had their problems, then the few simple steps to avoid them, but they think they HAVE to use IE, they HAVE to do all the complicated and silly things that PC users do.
Down to buying an expensive replacement battery for an ancient laptop, with faulty keys, that was worth less than the battery.
Everything else doesn't even register. I can see how these PC service centres manage to suck all that money from the poor schmucks.

Importing PSD Text Problem

Hi All,
I have searched high and low through Google for an answer to the following problem - but to no avail.
Basically i am importing a PSD banner design into Flash CS4 professional.
I've used the import to stage option and have selected place layers at original position and have selected import this text as editable text.
The text layers are imported and are created as static text.
This is hard to describe - but my problem is as follows.
The imported text layers are roughly the same "physical" size as the original. However the text properties in flash show that ALL the imported text is 10.4pt. This figure is wrong as the text size varies in the design.
Another way of putting it is >
18pt text in the original photoshop document is approximately the same "physical" size in Flash but the flash character size setting is 10.4pt
30pt text in the original photoshop document is approximately the same "physical" size in Flash but the flash character size setting is also 10.4pt !
Ok now i'm guessing your thinking i haven't selected the text object and thats why the character size property is not changing. And that 10.4pt must of been a previous setting i've used. Thats not the case though! I have selected the text object and even gone down to highlighting it just to double check.. The character property still remains at 10.4pt.
If anyone can throw any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
PS the original photoshop document has a resoultion of 72 pixels/inch. Presumably this would mean that the photoshop point size should be one to one with the flash import. Ie 18pt text in photoshop should be 18pt in flash?

Hi,
OK i found the problem.
If the text created in photoshop has been transformed at any point in the design process photoshop seems to remember it's original point size in the document.
This can be seen in photoshop when copying the transformed text (by highlighting it - rather than layer copy) and pasting it into a new box. The text returns to it's original size before the transformation.
SO when importing the transformed text into Flash CS4 - Flash creates an approximation of the transformed size - BUT will set the character size to the pre-transformed point size. In my case it was 10.4pt....
I'm using Flash CS4 Professional with OSX (leopard and snow leopard) - incase this is OS specific..

Can't download multimedia embedded in text messages

Hi,
I have a problem where I can't load multimedia embedded in text messages when I'm at home. I'll get the text message, say with message size 30kb. The download button will sit there even though I've set it up to download automatically. I push the button, the blue circle spins for a while and quits. I try over and over, no luck. Then there will be an error message that says message expired or not available.
I can't confirm it only happens at home but it seems to be that way. I do have a Verizon network extender at home. Google says that these messages only come if WIFI is off and uses regular data. Maybe my 3g data is altered somehow by the fact that my 3g signal is 'boosted' by my 'home extender' icon that I see when I'm home. I can't get 4g at home (Verizon tells me just walk 300 feet down the road where they have great signal, yeah, right!!)
It is crazy to have to turn wifi off to get text messages at home and I can't believe that Multimedia messages would be blocked for the people who have network extenders.
This is the stock messaging program (icon with tan background and white conversation icon in middle with 3 horizontal lines in the white callout diagram).
Ideas?

Network extenders used to be a great idea but most phones now try to lock to the 4G signal and use the extender for voice only. It is definitely a possibility that the ext is contributing to the issue. The G2 and G3, even with mobile data off, still use data to download MMS. I know my G2 will download an MMS with mobile data turned off because the data is still actually enabled. Hard to explain, but data is always on unless in airplane mode. This allows MMS but doesnt allow other forms of data.

Do embedded bitmaps in fonts really work with Adobe Digital Editions?

I just made an interesting observation:
I had turned the glyphs of a ttf-font by 90 degrees but the program that I used left the embedded bitmaps in the EBDT tables of the font unrotated. Using this font for example with Word had the interesting result that the font sometimes showed up correctly and sometimes not, depending on the size of the text on the screen.
Interestingly enough, using the same font as an embedded font with Adobe Digital Editions 1.6 the font showed always up correctly on all sizes of the text.
For me this looks as if Adobe Digital Editions does currently not support embedded bitmaps in ttf - fontfiles.
Anybody had the same experience or knows about an official statement from Adobe concerning this?

Selecting type with text tool - grabbing lines

This is has happened in the past but much more so with my current version of illustrator (I have CS2). When I use the text tool to revise text, it seems to want to select whatever lines are closest to the text rather than the text. This is very frustrating - I want my text tool to select whatever TEXT it is closest too, not lines. Is this a fault of the program or is there a setting somewhere I can change to make this happen less, or preferably, not at all?

Pressing Alt is
supposed to force-toggle the infuriating text tool between the TypeTool and the TypeOnAPathTool.
So if the path that you don't want to turn into a PathType object is an open unfilled path (like a manually-drawn underline, and it is in front of the text object you want to edit, this seems to work, when the TypeTool is selected:
1. Press Ctrl to momentarily invoke the most recently-used pointer. Select the underlying text object.
2. Release Ctrl. The TypeTool cursor returns. Note that when the cursor is in proximity to the path, it changes to the TypeOnAPathTool cursor (the one with the wavy line).
3. Press Alt. Note that the cursor changes to the TypeTool, and has a circle around it. Click and you should enter the text, not create a PathType object.
However, as far as I can figure out (actually, as far as I can bear to muck with this awful interface), this does not work correctly if the unwanted path is filled. Try this:
1. Create a text object with some text in it.
2. Draw a filled rectangle that overlays just part of the text.
3. TypeTool: Press Alt to momentarily invoke a pointer. Click the text object to select it.
4. Release Alt. TypeTool comes back.
5. Hover within proximity to the filled rectangle. The cursor becomes the normal TypeTool cursor enclosed in a circle.
This suggests that a click will enter the text, not create a PathType. Alas, it creates a PathType anyway. Try it again, this time pressing Alt. Pressing Alt makes the cursor change to the TypeOnAPath cursor, with no circle around it. Clicking creates a PathType.
Worst text-handling interface I have ever seen.

How to get the value from select list to text box

Hi,
I have a select list i want to retrieve the value from select list to text box.
How can i do that???
Regards,
Sakthi.

Hi Sakthi,
Yo can use the Java script for that..
Dynamically the value will come into text box.
Use the below script.
<script type="text/javascript">
function disFormItems()
var lReturn = $v(here your select list name)
alert(lReturn);
document.getElementById(here your text box name).value =lReturn; }
</script>Cheers,
