Styles and the combobox

Hello all, I'm currently working on a presentation using
combo boxes.
I'm fairly new to flash and am just learning how to adjust
some flash's inbuilt components.
Specifically the ‘combobox.’
What I want to do is change the font and corner radius
displayed by a combo box so that it will match the rest of my
document.
Looking through the help section it talks about "styles" but
I can’t seem to find any way to change the styles of this
component, or indeed any thing that may point me in the right
direction.
Can anyone help out?
I am using flash pro 8
Cheers
Fletch

Fletch-
I know this is not the best way but to change the font of
your combobox use the following.
my_component.setStyle("fontFamily", "yourFont");

Also check the following site for what other properties you
can set

As for the corner radius this is set by the skin of your
component. You will need to skin your components. Info on skinning
somponents is found at

Using Styles With the ComboBox

Hi --
I believe I have posted a question similar to this before,
but can someone
tell me how to go about styling a ComboBox via Actionscript
3?
I found this list for AS 2 in the help file:
alternatingRowColors, backgroundColor,
backgroundDisabledColor, borderStyle
color, disabledColor, embedFonts, fontFamily, fontSize,
fontStyle,
fontWeight, textAlign,
textDecoration, textIndent, defaultIcon, repeatDelay,
repeatInterval,
rollOverColor,
selectionColor, selectionDuration, selectionDisabledColor,
selectionEasing,
textRollOverColor,
textSelectedColor, useRollOver
However, when I tried this code:
testCombo.textField.setStyle("backgroundColor",0xcc00cc);
or
testCombo.dropdown.setRendererStyle("backgroundColor",0xcc00cc);
it didn't work.
Can someone tell me which of the items in the list above (if
any?) work with
AS 3 and what other options are also available?
Thanks
Rich

I believe setStyle is the method of the component
(UIComponent) - not it's children.
ComboBox.textField is a reference to the TextField of the
component. As such it seems like it should be styled with
methods/properties that TextField class has (setting StyleSheet,
etc.)
To get what elements of the component can be styled you can
use getStyleDefinition on the component.

The new design seems to be doubled, with the standart windows style underneath the new buttons and also the drop down menus are unreadable..

''''''i installed the new firefox and now its got a weird graphic glitch. i run windows 7 starter on my netbook and it seems as if the main window got two layers, the windows style and the new firefox style on top. the problem is, beside that some buttons dont really work, that the drop down menus are not really readable and the highlighting in the dropdown menus stays after going thought them.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

WPF Styles and WPF Crystal Reports viewer

Hi,
We are currently developing a WPF application which will utilize Styles created with Expression Blend.
Our environment is VS2010 SP1 and Crystal Reports for VS2010 SP2.
We want to design our reports with Crystal Reports but we don't seem to find any documentation or topics about integrating WPF Styles with the current WPF Crystal Reports Viewer.
So I was wondering if somebody here already tried to use WPF styles with the WPF CR Viewer.
If so, how does it basically work?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Alan
This morning I got a short note on the issue from Program Management. In a nut shell this is what they say:
..at this time the WPF viewer doesn't expose support for styles and the best thing will a post
to the idea on [SAP IdeaPlace|SAP Idea Place|https://ideas.sap.com/community/products_and_solutions/crystalreports]. Based on the interest level expressed there the PM group will make a decision on how best to proceed.
Obviously, this is not going to be a swift process, but at least something...

Styles and "space before" quandry

I will assume that most readers are familiar with PowerPoint and are aware that for your average bulleted slide master you can change the space before or after on a per-level basis without using named styles. I want to use spacing in Keynote but am seeing annoyances.
Method 1) If I use all the same style name as in the default themes, then I end up with that asterisk after all but one style, because there is only one unmodified "Body" style and the rest are considered overrides.
Method 2) If I use different styles, I have to reach for the mouse more.
Am I missing a technique to effect this, without overrides and with (I assume) using only one style?

Thanks but that's not what I meant. I can use the spacing just fine. The issue is with the outcome of the two methods. #1 introduces overrides (and, by the way, reassigning or clearing them does not always work), and #2 requires an assignment to many paragraphs.

Flash authoring in WYSIWYG style is the innovation designers need!

I'm just wondering why Adobe didn't upgrade Flash professional to the same idea as flash catalyst. It would have been more successful and innovative because most of the bashing Flash is getting(CPU clog, bugginess, etc) partly because of some developers coding faults would have been reduced.Imagine a design mode where you build all the possible creative experience you can think of in a wysiwyg style and the codes are authomatically written including data binding capabilities, pre-made components, custom components, camera, etc. I believe Adobe flash platform has grown and mature for this. Adobe should kindly think about this.
The idea of working in catalyst/MXML could have been done with flash professional since the codes would be converted from MXML to actionscript anyway. Luv Adobe

Styles And numbering : bug or not bug?

I'm migrating from word to pages and I am experiencing a strange behavior in styles and titles numbering in Pages 09 (French versionà
Based on what I have observed, the link between styles and numbering seems to be broken: if you apply a certain numbering style to a title style, it will not be applied correctly. Only one numbering style seems to be memorized amongst the differents styles.
Here are some simple steps to reproduce what I observed:
-Open pages
-Create a new document a select "Harvard Structure" from the templates list (this is a template that includes numbering). You get a document with different kind of numberings (A. 1. (1)) : everything's all right for now
-Display the styles pane and you will see that only one kind of numbering is memorized in the stylesheet : although the "Title 3" is numbered with 1.,2.,3. in the template the title style is memorized as being numbered with I. II. III.
Any attempt to apply different numberings styles to the different styles will not work... Did I miss something in the documentation?
PS : sorry for the duplicate question (I posted accidentally the first question when it was not finished in the Pages08 section)

If I understand well, nothing odd, nothing wrong.
You are just fooled by the two meanings of the word "style".
When you apply the style Harvard to a list, you aren't using the 'named style Harvard'
It's the same thing than the one with the menu item "Bold" which apply the Bold style
and the 'named style Emphasis" (Accentuation in French).

What is wrong with the ComboBox?

What a nice Saturday it is...
Why oh why won't a ComboBox show its selection when it's
loaded in a parent movie? Do we have the same issue here as with
the AS2 version? I tried putting a ComboBox in the parent but that
doesn't work either.
Functions as expected when I test the movie with the
ComboBox, when I load that movie in a parent... no text on the
ComboBox. The dropdown works ok, but once you have made a selection
and the ComboBox closes again... no text. Anyone experienced
this?

it wouldn't matter whether the cb was added to the stage or
using a.s. it would matter if you picked a unique instance name or
not.
with a non-unique name, the cb appears to be working but
displays no text when closed. if you click the cb and open it,
you'll see the text so you can make different selections. but if
you click a selection, no text appears in the closed cb.

In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the Paragraph Designer.

In FrameMaker 9.0.3 and 9.0.4, I cannot set tab stops for a style in the paragraph designer. Here are the steps to dysfunction:
1. In Paragraph Designer, for Tab Stops, click Edit. Edit Tab Stop dialog box opens, and the Paragraph Designer dialog box closes.
2. Type value in New Position box.
3. Click Continue. The Edit Tab Stop box closes.
4. Open Paragraph Designer. No tabs are recorded.
Discussion of a similar problem occured on this forum in June 2010. At that time, the resolution seemed to be to upgrade to 9.0.3. Has anyone else encountered this problem with these versions?
Thanks.

Hi, Arnis,
Brilliant! Thanks so much. I only looked at the later discussions of that thread, which seemed to indicate the problem would be solved by an upgrade to 9.0.3.

How can I make a custom style look the same in both printed and online?

My specs:
RH 9.0.2.271
Windows 7, 64-bit
Word 2010
The Background Info:
So I created some custom css styles to try and mimic the look of a message box in our documentation. Here's the css code:
.MsgBox {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;
    border-right-style: Solid;
    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 4px;
    border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
    margin-bottom: 7pt;
.MsgBoxTitle {
    color: #000000;
    border-left-style: Solid;
    border-right-style: Solid;
    border-top-style: Solid;
    border-bottom-style: Solid;
    font-size: 10pt;
    background-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-left-width: 4px;
    border-right-width: 4px;
    border-top-width: 4px;
    border-bottom-width: 0px;
    border-top-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-bottom-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-left-color: #cdcdcd;
    border-right-color: #cdcdcd;
    width: 350px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
My HTML Code:
<div class="MsgBoxTitle">
    PC-DMIS MESSAGE:
</div>
<div class="MsgBox">
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated. </p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
The Expected Output:
Here's how it renders in a browser (the title is MsgBoxTitle, the body is the MsgBox style). I'm happy with how it looks there, even if the box shadow doesn't always display:
The Ugly Printed Output:
And here's what it looks like in the printed output.
Ugly. Are there any tricks to get the printable (doc) output to match the online? Ideally, on the printed output, I'd like to have all the white space in my pseudo message box removed so it looks just like the online.

Hi Peter. Thanks for the reply.
I assumed that if I used the project style sheet during the export, Word would convert the style so that it looked the same as in the HTML. Is that a bad assumption? I'm currently not mapping to any template equivalent for these message box styles. I did try it as one of my attempts, but I couldn't figure it out. It never seemed to take the style in the .dot.
Anyway, if I use just 1 style, such as just the MsgBox, I obviously don't get the white paragraph between the title and message. That white paragraph comes from the first <p> tag in the MsgBox style. But I need to have the <p> tags in there because they're better for our localization process than line breaks.
I did do some tweaks that made it look better. Basically I structured it so that the MsgBoxTitle div is now inside the MsgBox div. Something like this:
<div class="MsgBox">
    <div class="MsgBoxTitle">PC-DMIS MESSAGE: </div>
    <p>Please do the following steps in the indicated order.</p>
    <p>1. Remove the current SH-1/2/3 stylus.</p>
    <p>2. Attach the SHSP (Stylus Holder Setting Piece).</p>
    <p>3. Jog the probe to a safe location with a clear line of approach
     to the port(s) being calibrated.</p>
    <p>4. Then click OK.</p>
    <p>After you click OK the machine will begin DCC measurement.</p>
</div>
And then I adjusted my styles borders, padding, and thickness. That helped it look more connected, but still doesn't look quite right:
Would love to get rid of that white space after the title.
If you have time, I would be interested in a more detailed example of how you did it.

Script needed to generate a list of paragraph and character styles from the Book Level

Hello,
I am using FrameMaker 11 in the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 and I need to find a script that will generate a list
of paragraph and character styles from the book level.
I am working with unstructured FrameMaker books, but will soon be looking at getting a conversion table developed
that will allow me to migrate all my data over to Dita (1.1 for now).
Any thoughts, ideas on this is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,
I think the problem you are having with getting a response is that you are asking someone to write a script for you. Normally, you would have to pay someone for this, as it is something that folks do for a living.
Nonetheless, I had a few minutes to spare, so I worked up the following script that I believe does the job. It is very slow, clunky, and totally non-elegant, but I think it works. It leverages the book error log mechanism which is built in and accessible by scripts, but is spendidly unattractive. I hope this gives you a starting point. It could be made much more beautiful, of course, but such would take lots more time.

How do you have the bottom stroke of a table show up using Table Styles and Cell Styles only?

I am using InDesign CS6, and I want to create a Table Style that has the bottom stroke show up, but does not have a table border, such as:
However, whenever I try to change the Table or Cell strokes so that the last stroke shows up, I get the entire table border, or some strange combination of borders:
Does anyone have any insight on how I can get the bottom stroke to show up while preserving my other stroke properties? Since I work with long documents, it's necessary to be able to control all of my tables through Table Styles and Cell Styles, and not by manually changing each and every table with the Stroke palette.
For reference, here are the my current Table Style properties and the resulting table:

Michael Murphy is the InDesign style-meister. He wrote "Adobe InDesign Styles" for Adobe Press, and did a great Lynda.com title on InDesign styling. Here's what he says in the book:
"As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, with all the power of table and cell styles, it is important to understand not only how they work and what they can do for you, but also to understand their limitations.
"Two formatting features missing in table and cell styles have already been discussed: You will always have to set the column width and row height of cells when applying a table style for the first time, and you will always have to convert body rows to header and/or footer rows every time you apply a table style for first time or update the table's data....
"But there's another kind of limitation that's important to keep in mind as you are designing tables: It is very easy to design a table that cannot be completely defined by a table style. In many cases, you'll need to define an extra cell style or two that lets you complete for formatting. [my emphasis]."
So I think that's what you have to do: Apply another cell style on top of the cells at the bottom of the table after applying the table style.

In What Package Are the style and diction Programs? [SOLVED]

I know this is an incredibly stupid question, but I cannot find what package I need for the style and diction programs... thank you for any information!

Looks like you need the AUR package diction.
Usually most applications are already available in the main repositories or in the AUR, so when you're looking for a specific application, you should always check these two places first. There's also a command-line tool called `pkgfile' (from the pkgtools package) for searching for specific files, but it only works with the main (i.e.: binary) repositories.
Oops, I suppose I didn't check the AUR carefully enough. That pkgtools package sounds interesting so I'll give it whirl. Thanks for the help.
