Text box problem or question

I'm having the text field problem. I have two text boxes (inside my .fla file) one i can add more text without the box expanding and can then select the text and croll down to view the missing text and the other one just gets longer the more text I add. I'm trying to duplicate the text box that does not expand the more text I add to it.
All the settings in the properties are the same on both and I've tried it in MX and CS3 and the both have the same properties in both.
I'm stumped can anyone help.
I'm attaching the file.
Thanks!

If you right click the textfield on the stage you can select the "scrollable" option for it. Another option to duplicate the textfield is to copy/paste it.

Dynamic text box problems

I have created a dynamic text box and an input text box.
I have produced code that replicates whatever is typed in the
input box to display in the dynamic box along with a date and time
stamp once a button is clicked.
This all works fine, except for the sizes of the fonts. for
both boxes, i selected font size 10 . The input box is fine,
however the dynamic box text is huge.
When i make the dynamic text font smaller, it fits in fine,
but the input text that is inserted into the dynamic text box comes
in too big. If i make the input text box font smaller it is
unreadable when typing it in.
any soultion to how to make my font consistent. I am assumin
the problem is because both the text boxes are different sizes,
however i don't know how to resolve the issue.
Any help is much appreciated.

hi laura
i think the problem it's in the targetPath "
mainClip.newspaper_mc.newinstructions.text =
lu.welcome[langIdx];".
chech if you have mistype the instance names of your
movieClip and rewrite it or in the Actions panel select the path "
mainClip.newspaper_mc.newinstructions" and click the button
"Insert Target Path" this will open a popup with a tree of your
MC's on the stage, so you can browse and find the textfield. i hope
i helped you if not let me know!

Pages 5.1 Text box problems

In Pages 5.1 when I paste a graphic in a text box (e.g., a PNG file), it no longer stays in the text box. This was a great feature in Pages '09, the ability to paste a graphic into the text box, add figure legend text, and a line around the whole thing and have it remain as one unit.

If you still have Pages v4.n located in /Applications/iWork after the v5+ upgrade, I would recommend you revert to an old friend.
In v5, you insert the Text Box, then from the Format > Style > Fill, you choose Image Fill, Scale to Fit (or Fill), and then Choose.. to pick your image from disk. The Toolbar media choice will just plop an image over the top of your Text Box. Dragging and dropping an image over the Text Box places the image behind the Text Box. This can lead to an interesting crop effect.
If your image choice will be too dark to see the original black Text Box "Text" placeholder, then you may want to initially choose a lighter font before paragraph 2 above. Othewise, a double-click after the image fill will provide edit focus in the Text Box. A downside is that changing the opacity will effect the image and the text.

Form text box problems please help???

I am creating a form in adobe XI and am having some problems with a text field I am trying to get the text field to allow me to add multi-line text with rich text editing and I am unable with the setting I have checked. I have gone to properties for the text field and have checked them as follows, Font size is at auto then I went to Options and set it to left alignment and selected multi-line and rich text formatting. But when I have put all the text in the box and I go back to a sentence to make it bold I am unable to do so... Please help??????

How are you trying to set the text as bold? Are you using the Properties bar?

Is this a bug? Resizing content box problems with opacity.

I was wondering if this is a bug? I've been trying to get a box set behind a text box to resize depending on the amount of content that's within a textbox above it. It works fine when the box underneath the text box is set to 100% opacity. However when I adjust the box below to less than 100% opacity the box stops resizing with the text box. My questions are is this a bug or intended and if it is a bug is there a work-around or will it be fixed soon?

Hello,
Thank you for bringing this up. We were able to reproduce the issue and it has been logged as a Bug.
It seems to be an issue when opacity is reduced from the toolbar at the top.
However, as a workaround, I would like to suggest you to use the opacity option under the Fill Panel.
For this you need to select the rectangle in the background and then click on Fill Panel which comes up on the right hand side. And you can change the value of opacity from there.
Please have a look at the screenshot below which might help :
When the value of opacity is changed from this Fill Panel, the property of rectangle to resize with text is kept.
We have logged a bug for the issue and hopefully it will be fixed in future releases of Adobe Muse.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Sachin

Publishing a text box to be multiple lines of text in SharePoint Form Library

Hello
I have some text boxes on an InfoPath form which is then published to a SharePoint form library. However, when the form creates columns in the form library, some of the text boxes are being published as Single Line of Text which then cuts off some of the
text as users can type more the 255 characters in the text box.
My question is how can I make sure that the form publishes the field as a multiple line of text instead? Some of the boxes did this by default but there are others that did not and I am missing text on them.
Thanks

When you add the control to the form, choose the Multi Line of text option instead of the single line of text option, if you are unsure, when you add the control to the form, right click it and select properties, from here you can change the data type
from single line of text to multi line of text.

How to compare text box value with the table data??

Hello ALL,
I created one stored procedure in DB,it is as follows:-
CREATE or replace PROCEDURE chkUser
u in varchar2,
p in varchar2,
ap out varchar2
is
begin
select count(*) into ap from tbuser where loginid = u and password = p;
end;
And at the front end I have designed a form with 2 text boxes, now my question is I wanna compare these text box values(which user enters) with the data of the table....??? something like control (may be I am not sure)..... ???
If anybody can help me out with this issue...... help will be appreciated
Thank you.

hi Elise,
I'm always getting the Error Message as "Invalid Creditianls"... let me tell you the whole scenario with sql synatx.
I have created tables as:-
CREATE TABLE "TBUSER"
(     "LOGINID" VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "PASSWORD" VARCHAR2(30),
     CONSTRAINT "TBUSER_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("LOGINID") ENABLE
than I created the Procedure on tbuser, it is as:-
create or replace PROCEDURE logincheck
u in varchar2,
p in varchar2,
ap out varchar2
is
begin
select count(*) into ap from tbuser where loginid = u and password = p;
end;
now at the front end side I have created one form with 2 text boxes (P8_USERNAME & P8_PASSWORD) and 2 buttons (Cancel and Submit)
as per you told me in the above post, I have created 'Validation' procedure with Type as 'Exists' and expression(into Validation Expression1)as:-
select 1 from tbuser
where loginid = :P8_USERNAME
and password = :P8_PASSWORD;
and
kept an error message as 'Invalid credentials'.....
but I don't know what's going wrong..... I do have few data into the table, and when I am entering the same data(with case sensitive) I am getting the Error message, rather than when the credentials are perfect user should be allowed to enter into the current page(where I have created this form and validation procedure)....
any idea what's going worng and where...????
thxs.... appreciated..

Retain last value in text box

Hi all,
I created a html page to the content server. In that page I created a popup. When I call the popup I can write some text in the textbox to do a search on my database. Then, the results are displayed in the popup. However, if I want to do a new search I have to write again in the text box. My question is: How can I retain the last thing that I wrote in text box? (only when the popup is open)
Like the content server does when we click on Quick Search. It shows the results and retain the value on the search box.
Thanks in advance,

Hey RSS,
Yes correct, you have to change <input type="text" id="designation" name="designation" value="">
so your line will look like this:
<input type="text" id="designation" name="designation" value="javascript:document.getElementById('designation');">
My javascript is a bit rusty so if that doesn't work try: value="javascript:document.getElementById('designation').value;
(adding a .value at the end)
Another way of doing it can be by modifying your line <form name="Entities" method="POST" action="<$HttpCgiPath$>"> and say:
<form name="Entities" method="POST" onclick="document.getElementById('designation').value=
document.getElementById('designation').value" action="<$HttpCgiPath$>">
NOTE: for this last one to work u need to have that inside javascript tags, or add "avascript:" at the begining like I did for the input value above.
Cheers,

3 Questions- Two about text boxes and one about something else! (10 Points)

Hi, I'm doing a large project in java and have ran into several issues. These are summed up in these three questions:
1. How would I make certain words certain colours/formats? I have been told I should a JTextPane, but all my text is currently in a box created like this:
static JTextComponent textbox = new JTextArea("", 23, 60);
2. How would I give that above box (or the JTextPane if I used that) line numbers next to each line. Not part of the text box, but on the left hand side numbers go down every line, however (and here's the catch) when you scroll the text box, the line numbers have to scroll also, so they stay in touch with the lines.
3. How would I launch an external application? At the start its just an .exe, however I have to load it with certain parameters? any ideas?
Thank you
Alex

Simple question around text box action listeners....

Hi, I'm hoping there is a simple solution to this question.
What I have is a text box, by default it will be empty. what I'm looking for is Some kind of action listener to be kicked off when ever a user writes in the textbox......
here is a little bit of code i'd "like" to do....
   textBoxBean.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
            public void propertyChanged(PropertyChangeEvent event)
                 if (businessTypeBean.getText() != null){
                     // do somthing
                 else{
                     // do something else
        }); The only problem is the the silly thing never gets called.....
a silly question but, unfortunatly all this is change a tooltip and enable disable a button based on weather or not there is something in the textbox....... Sigh......
Any ideas would be great.
Cheers,

But you do waste your time with the above.......... With the hope that you will actually learn how to ask a meaningfull question the next time.
You still have people totally confused about what you are asking. Some people think you have an AWT based question. Others think its a Swing related question.
Your question is about an ActionListener, but you code shows a PropertyChangeListener. It seems like you are asking about a Swing component, but there is a Swing forum for Swing related questions.
We are not mind readers. Ask a well thought out question and you will generally get a well though out response.

Problem with bullets in text boxes

Hi,
I haven't seen this problem written up anywhere but I am
having problems with my text formatting differently in text boxes
when I've used bullets in the text. I am using Captivate 2.
So here's what happens:
If the text caption has a bullet
anywhere in the body, when I publish my captivate course, the text
looks like normal 12 pt Arial.
If there is a text box without any bullets, the text looks
like it was bolded.
The next result is that I have two types of body text
throughout my course.
I went into every slide and verified that there is no other
text formatting going on and I did find that Impact was sometimes
in the same text boxes where I had bullets but I finally got rid of
all the impact. However, the problem remains. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Lin

Hi Lin and welcome to our community
My guess here is that you are using the Transparent caption
type. When you do this, the caption anti-aliases the text inside
and many claim it looks either bold or fuzzy. You have two options.
1. Use Bullets on all captions. Don't worry, you don't have
to actually SEE the bullets. Just press Enter a few times and apply
bullets to one of the blank lines. Then size the caption so the
bullet part is hidden from view.
2. Implement a trick discovered by fellow Adobe Community
Expert Paul Dewhurst. You can see his trick by

Hopefully one of these works for you... Rick

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

Question on the known solution to the "Three pixel text jog" problem

Hello,
I'm "browser-checking" my website using Dreamweaver CS4 tool for that. I've got in various places the "three pixel text jog" IE problem. I followed the link to solution proposed by DW. It says I should add an IE conditional statement in the <head> part, so that I can define the CSS zoom property for that particular element. Hence, something like that:

(assuming the problem occurs for a <p> inside my #Content div.)
My question is: can I replace this by

For another browser problem (prevent the browsers from using some of their own default settings), it was advised to reset the margin, padding and border properties using:
   border: 0;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
(although in my case I had to later remove border: 0; because it would prevent default buttons of forms to be displayed as buttons.)
Does this * really mean "anything"? Is it valid as used above for fixing the three pixel text jog problem? If not, do I really have to define this zoom property for any single HTML element for which it occurs? (It currently occurs for some headers, <div>, "<div> <div>" sequence, some <p>.)
Any comment welcome...
Emilie
P.S.: I tried it and DW doesn't flag that problem any more, but I'm unsure how much I can trust it.

The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
correct?

Problems with text box borders, tabbing and saving doc in Acrobat Pro 7.1.0

When I view my form document in Acrobat Reader, there is a red border around several text boxes
in which I've selected 'NO border'
Also, I've selected 'column order' for tabbing, but tabs continue to function in order in which I inserted form item (text box, check box or radial button). Since I didn't insert these consecutively, tabs no jump all around the form instead of proceeding in order from top to bottm and left to right.
I've checked for Mac Acrobat Pro updates and see that there are three - 7.1.1, 7.1.3, and 7.1.4, and am downloading them for install.
Do any of the updates fix these problems? Or how can it be fixed?
On opening document in Reader, I also get a message informing that document cannot be saved with changes and must be printed, even though I've created it with fillable forms.
Is there some setting for allowing document to be saved?
I want to be able to have recipient be able to download form, fill it out, save changes, attach to email and return it to me.

This has been a problem since version 8 on the mac. Acrobat 7 on the mac worked fine with the right side trim but not on the PC.
We are still having this problem with Acrobat 9.4.0 on the Mac & PC.
This has now been an issue for 2 versions of Acrobat Pro.(8 & 9)
Being in Pre Press and having to constantly set the trim for jobs, this is now taking up too much time and costing money.
Please fix this Adobe.
and on another note. how hard would it be to display the trim (if set) next to where the page size is?
If the trim is set it should display it! why should we have to go to document/crop pages>trim.
Im in a busy Pre Press Dept and the amount of times you have to check a trim size is stupid.
I always set prefs to display crop / trim / and bleed boxes and this helps but it should display it if its set.
Thanks
Hope this is resolved soon.
