Smartforms - Handle dynamic text

Hi All,
I have a smartform where in the "header" window is defined a "template1" which fields are: %graphic2, %text1, %text2, %text3 and %graphic3.
I need to change the text of the "header" if the plant changes. First of all, now I have 3 text elements but I wont to replace these text by only one text. In other words I need to set a condition for showing 3 text elents or 1 text element with a new text.
My doubt if about the definition and use of a text module (tcode smartforms) and how to link it in my smartforms without to remove the structure "template1".
Which is the best way to proceed?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Giovanni

Hi,
I have understood the way to display the text under a condition (i.e. plant) but I don't need to print a string but a complex text on many lines and with words in bold and other words in different font and size. I wish to display dynamically the right text.
For example, is there the possibility do define a "global" text and outside the smarform? Then is it possible to set this text dynamically in this way:
<template name/node>-<name of the text field> = Z<text element defined globally or outside the smartform>
Should be an easy way for me.
Any help will be well appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards,
Giovanni

Dynamic Text translation in Smartforms

Hi experts,
I want to translate a smartform from EN(English) to DE(German).I achieved this through SE63 transaction.It is working fine,but I have three dynamic values passed to the smartform as (&One&,&two&,&three&). These three values are always displayed in EN(English).How to translate these dynamic values also in to DE(German).
Every thing is based on log on language.
I searched in SDN but didn't hit any result. Help me on this issue experts.
Thanks&Regards,
Karthik.

goto so10, give a name to text
give text id as 'ST'
object as 'TEXT'
and language as u want.
and create
now in ur smartform-> create a text node of type include text and provide the same details ie name, textid, object and language.

Issue passing values to text symbols in Dynamic text PDF forms

Hello Everyone,
I am facing a problem related to Dynamic texts in Adobe PDF forms (Text node of type include text). I am able to pass the dynamic values to the Text node properties but i am not able to pass the values to Text symbols inside the Text node. When tested it says the field not found. I have the same structure and field in the CONTEXT as that of the text symbol. The problem i see is because in PDF the field names have $record.(fieldname) ?
Please share your thoughts if anyone has faced similar problem or know how to handle it.
Thanks a million in advance,
Chandu

Open the report up in the Designer and Click on Edit, Subreport Links. Likely what you can do is use Shared Variables to pass values from the main report to the subreport.
You need to do this in the report first. If you are using RAS then you can at runtime. If RAS is not available to you then no way in code.
See these samples:

Using loadVariables() to populate a Dynamic Text in a MovieClip

Hello everyone,
I am trying to populate a Dynamic Text with data from a
remote database. I have no problem populating the Dynamic Text with
the data from the remote database if the Dynamic Text is placed in
the main timeline using the following code.
loadVariables ("php/attorney.php", "");
Once I move the Dynamic Text into a Movie Clip with instance
name of “MC_But_1” I am only able to populate the
Dynamic Text if I place the above code in the movie clip. Since it
is going to take sometimes for the data to be transferred from the
remote database I rather to do this on the main timeline before the
MC_But_1 is shown. I have used the following code but for some
reason it is not working.
loadVariables ("php/attorney.php", _root.MC_But_1);
Can someone be kind enough to tell me where I am going wrong?
Thank you very much and have a great day.
Khoramdin

> Since it is going to take sometimes for the data to be

That is one of the best arguments for abandoning
loadVariables() in
favor of LoadVars(). Check that out in the manual. It's
better because
there are events that get triggered when a data transfer has
completed
and you can write an event handler script to deal with server
responses.

Load Multiple Dynamic Text Files in Different frames on Maintimeline

Hello!
I have managed to load an external text file in one place one the maintimeline. I would like to do the same thing on other frames. When I go to duplicate the same thing that I did on the first one I get a duplicate textReq request. Do I need to give the textReq a more specific name for each section? When I did this the movie wouldn't even recognize and of the code that was working before.
Can anyone help me with this code? Thanks in advance
I am attaching link so you can see sections I am talking about. Also you will notice that the swf file I loaded won't go away. That's another problem...ugh.
Here is link:
http://www.sandraschmitt.com/coclico/index100.html
Here is code on maintimeline:
stop();
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
function startLoad() {
    var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var swfRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("endlessCoclico3.swf");
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
    swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
    swfLoader.load(swfRequest);
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event) {
    addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
function onProgressHandler(swfProgress:ProgressEvent) {
    var percent:Number = swfProgress.bytesLoaded/swfProgress.bytesTotal;
    trace(percent);
startLoad();
//handle events for buttons...
collections.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
raison.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
stores.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
news.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent) {
    //trace shows what's happening... in the output window
    trace("The "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!");
    //go to the section clicked on...
    gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
Here is code on actual frame where the dynamic text is working:
//Loaded exteranl text fields
var textLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var textReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("text_philosophy.txt");
function textLoaded(event:Event):void {
    philosophy_txt.text = textLoader.data;
textLoader.load(textReq);
textLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded);

Textfields: What I like to do, mainly for peace of mind, is to have a layer that I dedicate to actionscript that only has code in frame 1 but it extends the full length of the timeline so that this code is available to every frame on any other layer. In this frame I put variables and functions that can get used/shared wherever they happen to be needed. I usually create another separate layer for actions types of actionscript... stuff that happens at the local frame level, like stop();, or like assigning a variable a new value, etc... things local to being at that frame/location. So with that in mind
In frame 1 on my shared-by-everyone layer, I'd probably declare the variable....
var textReq:URLRequest;
And when I get to a particular frame where I want to load a new textfield with data, I assign that var its value on the local actions layer...
textReq = new URLRequest("text_philosophy.txt");
along with the rest of the local execution regarding loading the file, etc...
SWF's:
Yeah, pretty much, and it becomes an object that has a home on the timeline, so if you move away from that frame the swf doesn't follow.

A drag and drop game with dynamic text response

Hi,
I am a teacher and my school has recently upgraded to Adobe Design Premium. Our previous version was about 5 versions out of date.
I teach A Level which requires students to create an Interactice Multimedia product.
In the previous 6 years, I have taught students how to create simple drag and drop game with dynamic text responses.
Since the upgrade to Actionscript 3.0 the dynamic text response has ceased working.
When creating the game from scratch, I need to move to Actionscript 2.0 as 3.0 does not allow me to add actionscript to objects - I know and am sure that this is a better way of doing things, but I would prefer to keep working the way I am used to.
I use a switch case statement which I have copied below to make the drag and drop work. The objects I apply the code to work in that they can be dragged, however, my dynamic text box with a variable name of "answer" is no longer displaying the response when an answer is left on a dropzone (rectangle converted to a symbol and given an instance name).
on(press) {
startdrag(this);
on(release) {
stopdrag();
switch(this._droptarget) {
case "/dropzoneB":
   _root.answer="Well done";
   break;
case "/dropzoneA":
case "/dropzoneC":
   _root.answer="Hopeless";
   break;
default:
   _root.answer="";
   break;
Any help would be much apeciated.
Thanks
Adrian

To drag in as3
blie_btn is the instance of the object drawin on the stage. In AS3 you have to assign a even listener, in this case MOUSE_DOWN, and MOUSE_UP, as we want the drag to stop if the mouse is not clicked. Then we fire the functions, and tell the object to start drag.
// Register mouse event functions
blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
// Define a mouse down handler (user is dragging)
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var object = evt.target;
     // we should limit dragging to the area inside the canvas
     object.startDrag();
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var obj = evt.target;
          obj.stopDrag();
if you want to make the text do what you want then something like this might work.
In the function, you could add a text box onto the stage, give it a instance of something like outputText
and then:
outputText = ("Bla Bla Bla");
(^Not sure if this will work exactly^)

Dynamic text in different movie clip

Inside scene one i have a movie clip that contains a movie
clip that contains a dynamic text field. Also inside Scene one I
have a different movie clip that contains a movie clip that
contains a movie clip that contains a input text field. And I need
for the user to type in to the input text field and see what they
are typing show up in the dynamic text field. What would that
script look like and where would I put it? Can anyone help
please?

hi!
Lets say you have your dynamic clip on the same level as the
movieclip containing your input field.
_root.dynamic_texfield_name.text =
_root.name_of_movieclip.input_texfield_name.text;
If you need the dynamic textfield to be updated as soon as
the user types something in the input field you can use a onChange
handler.
_root.name_of_movieclip.input_texfield_name.onChange =
function(){
_root.dynamic_texfield_name.text =
_root.name_of_movieclip.input_texfield_name.text;
}

Php vs textfile dynamic text

ok i am at the last part of my project. it worked all well and reads all text fields from a text file as seen on :
http://www.myblueranch.com/index2.html
now i am trying to get the same thing working from MYSQL.
Notice that the text file i used for index2.html is called
www.myblueranch.com/trees1.txt
and it was a direct copy/paste from the php page that gave the results from the MYSQL query. (the php query page is:)
www.myblueranch.com/flash_names.php
The problem is i am getting an error in
www.myblueranch.com/index.html

Kenneth this created another problem:
1- i changed the code of the php to make it look like:
&tcname_1=Cherokee SweetGum&tcname_2=cedar&tcname_3=cedar&cant=3

Also when i do that even when i load from a textfile (i.e. not from MYSQL through php) i see no text at all!!
2- Where did you want me to put these trace lines? if i put them in the end of my ac3 script i get this compile error:
Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 97

did i do something wrong?

Displaying images in dynamic text fields

Hi, I am having some difficulty getting my images to display
in a dynamic text field. The images are linked from a txt file with
the <img src=""> tag however they are not showing up in the
text area. The rest of the html are rendering fine except the image
tag. My example online is here:
www.supernaturalmedia.com.
Here is the code I used in Flash:
var style_sheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var css_url = "global.css";
style_sheet.load(css_url);
news.StyleSheet = style_sheet;
loadVariables("projects_news.txt", this.news);
My css styles also isn't loadin so i temporarily am using
html styles for formatting. I'd like to get the css to work as
well.
My movie is published as Flash Player 6, AS 2.0.
I'd appreciate any helpful advice.
Thanks,
Stanton

1. don't assign the stylesheet property of your textfield
until loading of global.css is complete. ie, use the onLoad handler
for stylesheets.
2. you have movieclip images that are linked for export and
you're using their linkage id in src property of the img
tag?

Dynamic text based on page number

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to place a dynamic text on an hrform. The form is displaying wage types and when there are more than 2 pages, the values on the first page need to be summerized into a variable with the text subtotal in front of it. When we are on the last page, the text total with the total of all the wagetypes needs to be displayed. I tried to use the sfsy-page and sfsy-formpages variables to know on which page i am but the strange thing is that when i use in in program lines and i use debugger to look into the variable i get this:
First page:
sfsy-page = 1
sfsy-formpages = 1
Second page:
sfsy-page = 2
sfsy-formpages = 2
But when i place it into a text element to test i get 1 of 2 on page one and 2 of 2 on page two. How is this possible?
Also i want to display a subtotal of the displayed wagetypes per page. Anyone an idea how i can do that?
Thank you!
Lars

Hi,
The reason you get 1-1 ,2-2 in debugging is because, the pages are added dynamically,depending on the length of your main window.Which doesnt get captured initially,but can be used in text element.
As far as totalling on every page and at the last page is concerned ,try teh following link:

Handling dynamic item data in VSTS

Hi Team,
Can you please let us know how to handle dynamic item data in VSTS.
Regards
Raghavendra
8105577088

Hi Raghavendra,
Based on your previous threads posted by you in the test forum, I doubt that you want to create the coded UI test, am I right?
If so, which kind of app did you want to test, WPF or others? Could you share us a screen shot about the real UI controls you want to test? What real Controls you want to test, list item controls or others?
You know that to find a control in coded UI test, we have to use the unique peoperties as the search properties, so if your controls are dynamic, the real issue would be related to the search properties you use in your code.
Like this case:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4c4805f0-230d-459d-a3e5-61e62746c5b9/list-box-item-is-not-get-selected-while-play-back-the-recorded-script-in-coded-ui-test?forum=vsautotest
As Pankaj's suggestion, if the list items are dynamic then you can use the index values instead of the innertext, so the real issue would be related to how to use the search perperties in your side. If you item text value is dynamic, you'd better not
use the text value as the search properties.
About "How does “Coded UI test” finds a control ??", reference:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/balagans/archive/2009/12/28/9941582.aspx
If I have misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Formatting dynamic texts

Hi,
in SmartForms I use dynamic texts to output information in the form. It works fine but I have to format some of them for a smaller or bigger font. SAP does not give any possibility to set the paragraph and/or character formats like in the case of text elements.
How can I format my texts ??
Thanks.

Hi Jorge,
It is possible to create paragraph format and character formats in smartforms.
Go to tcode-SMARTSTYLES and create a style and then specify ur style in smartforms
Globalsettings->Formattributes->outputoptions->style
if ur copying predefined smartform the copy the used style into Zstyle and make further changes like ur own formata and use it...
Thanks&Regards,
Rama Krishna.

Hi Brian,
thanks for your help, this works.
But, do you know if I can specifiy the file path in an database field and crystal reports will load the file from the specific path.
Background:
I have descriptions for items and every item has its own description file.
If I create the report for item 1 I want to show the item description for item 1, when I create the report for item 2 then I want to show the item description of item 2 etc.
Thanks

Change Smartform Language Dynamically

Hello Guys,
I got a requirement to display the Smartform text in Russian language from English with the user Login to SAP. I know the way to change the static text with TCode SE63. It also changes the text with user login but what about dynamic text, which we get with our select query in smartform.
For example: Employee description from KNA1. All the list should automatically changed to the Logged in user language, in my case Russian.
I have searched on SDN and found only for the static text maintained via Text module or Text element can be converted. Is there any way around, we can achieve this functionality dynamically.
Regards,
Chandan

Hi,
Check if you have in ADRC the russian info for the Customer .
To get the data you will need kna1-adrnr .
This is how it is done here .
And finally a tip: In the future try to put all your data extraction in the calling program .
Also note the use of parameter CONTROL_PARAMETERS field LANGU .
Regards.

Newb needs help with dynamic text

Hi Everyone,
I don't like being a newb - but that's how it is...
I'm trying to create a multipage registration form that
allows uses to register products.
The first page asks for name etc, and on the second page I
want it to say "Welcome "+username "!" - that sort of thing...
The problem is I can't get it to keep the dynamic text values
accross the pages.
I can get it to repeat the input on the first page with this
code:
_root.firstname_txt.onChanged = function() {
_root.firstname_repeat.text="Hello
"+_root.firstname_txt.text;
However when I call it on the second page it is undefined:
second_repeat.text="hello "+_root.firstnamt_txt.text;
trace (_root.second_repeat.text);
I'm sure this is something simple and I'm just a programming
dunce...
Any help is appreciated.
ta

if your textfield (_root.firstname_repeat) doesn't exist on
the 2nd frame, its text property will be undefined.
to remedy, either extend your textfield's existance into the
frames needed or use a variable to store its text property (in your
onChanged handler) and use that variable to retrieve the value you
need.
