Simple JS works in Acrobat 7, but not 8 - why?

I have a simple form with 2 fields: "myname" and "phone". "myname" is a drop down list populated with 3 names. I want to be able to populate the "phone" field with a phone number corresponding to the "myname" field automatically.
I have the following JS attached to the calculate event of the myname field. This works perfect in Acrobat 7.0.9, but does not work at all in Acrobat 8.0 professional or Adobe Reader 8. Does anyone know why?
switch (myname.rawValue){
case "Beth Voigt" :
phone.rawValue = "431-3833";
break;
case "Bobbie Hartfiel" :
phone.rawValue = "431-2019";
break;
case "Dave Brown" :
phone.rawValue = "431-2448";
break;
default : phone.rawValue = "";
event.newText = myname.rawValue;

I was just asking where those scripts are located.

Javascript works in Acrobat Pro but not in Reader

Hello,
I have created a form in Acrobat Pro that works fine in Pro and seems to work in reader. However, when I open it on the site and it loads up in the browser window the form then messes up when it gets to any one of these 2 scripts:
1.
var a=this.getField("Parking Passes")
if (a.value>=1)
{event.value=1}
else
{event.value="0"}
2.
var a=this.getField("Additional Passes")
if (a.value>8)
{event.value= (a.value-8)*25}
else {event.value="0"}
After one of these scripts is processed then the field for script 2. (a total of this script) is summed with other fields and the total field goes to only the amount of the script 2. field. What can I do to fix this. It seems to work outside of the browser when I open it in reader or acrobat pro but never in the browser window?
Thank you!
Joe

Simple Script works on 10.6 but not 10.5.8

Hi,
Brand new to Applescript...I made a simple script (saved as an application) to rename Excel Sheet Tabs and it works on my MBP (10.6.2) however when I try sharing with other users (10.5.8), it fails to carry out properly. It opens a blank workbook rather than the "test.xls" workbook and won't go any further. Am thinking it might be due to:
1) where the script and .xls file were originally created/saved?
2) 10.6.2 vs. 10.5.8?
3) method of sharing? Tried attaching to Mac OSX Server Wiki, NAS and e-mailing but still wouldn't work.
here's the script-
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
try
open workbook workbook file name "test.xls"
activate object worksheet "names"
set myRange to range "A2" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 3 to myName
set myRange to range "A3" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 4 to myName
set myRange to range "A4" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 5 to myName
set myRange to range "A5" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 6 to myName
set myRange to range "A6" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 7 to myName
set myRange to range "A7" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 8 to myName
set myRange to range "A8" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 9 to myName
set myRange to range "A9" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 10 to myName
set myRange to range "A10" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 11 to myName
set myRange to range "A11" of worksheet "names"
set myName to input box prompt "Please type a Student Name" title "Students"
set value of myRange to myName
set name of sheet 12 to myName
end try
end tell
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

Embedding video, works on my computers but not theirs, why?

I have made a flyer that has an embedded video clip using Acrobat Pro 9 Extended. It opens and plays ok on Professional Extended and Reader on one computer, also opens ok on Professional (non extended) and Reader on another computer. I emailed the file to my client and he only has Reader. He tried it on his computer and some other computers with Reader and said he gets an error (see below) which comes up when he opens it and doesnt even show the PDF at all. He said he upgraded his Readers to the current version and still gets the error. What else could be causing this?

it only charge if itunes is installed on the computer
for some reason

The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

Actionscript works in IDE,projector but not SWF

Hello, I'm atempting to create a swf that loads in a
controller swf and accesses some of the information contained
within the load swf. My main timeline is pretty simple.
var preloader_mc:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("preloader_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var labelcontainer:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var label:TextField = labelcontainer.createTextField("label",
1, 0, 365, 150, 20);
var TOCcontainer:MovieClip =
this.createEmptyMovieClip("TOCcontainer",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var TOClabel:TextField =
TOCcontainer.createTextField("TOClabel", 1, 0, 300, 150, 20);
then I have an onenter frame function that access the
variable contained within the loaded swf.
loadMovie("xml_controller.swf", preloader_mc);
onEnterFrame = function () {
vTime =
this.preloader_mc.container.controlBar.timeView.label.value;
this.label.text = vTime
When I test the movie I see the time displayed and everything
is ok. When I create a projector file I see the time display. When
I try to run the swf, in a browser or straight from explorer All I
see is undefined for the values.
Anybody have any ideas why this would work in two
environments but not the third?

I saw this issue with a website I did. Sometimes the code
would work no problem in the projector but fail when I published to
the site.
Does the xml_controller.swf refer to _root anywhere? If you
have not locked the root and there is something it needs to access
locally it won't be able to find the item because the _root it is
referring to is now the load.swf movie

How do I troubleshoot installation/distribution of a LabVIEW .exe which processes data using Matlab when it works on some computers but not others?

I've been given the unenviable task of troubleshooting and installing/distributing software written by a former co-worker. I've modified the LabVIEW code and built an .exe file. I've successfully installed the Labview .exe file on several computers, but it won't work on some others. What's more baffling is that I installed it successfully on one computer, uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it with no success. In fact, it's a new error (Dr. Watson for Windows NT application error). It doesn't help that I have different versions of LabVIEW and Matlab on the target computers. Some have LabVIEW 5.1, some
have 5.0, and some don't have it at all. Some have Matlab 5.2, some have 5.3 (R11) and some have 6.0 (R12). It's also not clear to me where the Matlab m files should be located. I'm not sure if it's a LabVIEW Runtime Engine problem, or if it's a Matlab problem. I've also wondered how LabVIEW and Matlab talk to each other. When LabVIEW calls Matlab, it seems that Matlab is running in the background. In other words, clicking on the Matlab Command Window and typing "whos" or any other command/variable doesn't work.

Site works in the app, but not in the browser.

Hello iWeb experts,
I've got problems.
Last night I published my site. And while it appears, and functions, properly in my iWeb app, it doesn't do the same in Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
Two issues...
FONTS
I chose Bellamie, Univers Condensed, and Marydale as my fonts. From reading these forums, I've discovered those won't wysiwyg on other computers if the fonts aren't available and open on them. So my two choices are to make every bit of text a graphic or to use a set of more universal fonts, correct? So my questions are...One, is there a list somewhere of fonts that will work in any browser? And, two, is there a short-cut, or easy way to transform type into a graphic without having to create image files?
FUNCTIONS
Here are the functions that work fine in iWeb but have gone haywire in all of the browsers I tested...
• The type in one nav link appears smaller than all the rest.
• Some links are active, others are not.
• Rollover highlighting works on some links, but not others.
• Most of the rollover links appear in the proper static color, a few do not.
I've tested these functions on three Macs, one PC, and in the three browsers mentioned above. All of them show the exact same problems. So something must be going wrong with iWebs coding, or my host server musn't like iWeb.
Any thoughts, suggestions on these two issues? Thanks much for any advice.
John

When I drag across your page most of your links do not change. The "text" portion of them doesn't change, either. Something is covering them.
I can see that. But for the life of me, I don't know what could be covering those links. In my app, when I click in the area of the links, the type is the first item selected. Unless, possibly, it could somehow be the faint reflection of my black-and-white image (me & the ground I stand on). Hmmm...

Single click (outside the boundaries of your page contents) and an "outline" will appear. It shows the image file dimensions and locations.
This I don't see. An outline? As in "an object outline," or as in "a list of dimensions and locations?" When I click outside my page contents, I get nothing.
Thanks, QTK. I truly appreciate your troubleshooting here.

HT5787 How can I change an old email to a new one? For some reason my old email comes up on my iPhone - and I don't get access to change to my new email which I have on my iCloud account on my pc. My AppleID works on my pc, but not on my iPhone!

How can I change an old email adress on my iCloud accout to my new email (the same as on my pc), as long as my Apple ID works on my pc but not on my iPhone?

You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

I have CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, version 6.0.0.264.
I was wondering about that one in particular.
Try configuring you CA as per kalda01's instructions in this post:

(Sometimes switching the security software off doesn't help, but doing the configuration does help. Not sure what's afoot with that, but it has happened with other security-package problems with iTunes in the past.)
