Text field with promp msg only when the field is empty

I want to make a TextField with prompt message but The problem with google code was that the prompt msg is shown only when The textField is not clicked, I want to show the prompt msg even when the text field is clicked,when I type a letter inside the textField it vanishes and when i delete all of it, I'll see the prompt msg again and I want to Load the cursur at the text field when the page is loaded, How can I achieve that?

Not working!
One new problem I have confronted, I have edited the htm file with the previously mentioned code, yet, when i started flex again, the code was not there?
Is it a derived file?
If so how can I make permanent changes there?
i used the code:     
private function onLoad(event:Event):void
             focusManager.setFocus(this.textId);           
As using
private function onLoad(event:Event):void
shows the red cross i.e. error at a particular step at the
<mx:Application.......
and the error shows as
Incorrect numbers of arguments. Expected 1.
I guess its a very simple problem yet I don't know why I am getting so complex.
I have faced certainly a nice problem, it sometimes works and sometimes doesnt,
when I run from the flex bulider it works, If I click on the html file it doesn't.. It may happen it wont work again in future.

  • Update a field multiple times, but only if the field is empty

    I am having trouble updating a field in my table based upon a set of 7 different rules. I have been scratching my head at this for a few days, and am not sure what exactly is wrong, but am sure there is something small causing me problems. My current code
    is:
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value1'
    WHERE svc = 'Y' AND Field1 = '' ;
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value2'
    WHERE Dlv Is Null AND Cat = 'svc' AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value2'
    WHERE (prod LIKE 'ABC%') OR (prod LIKE 'ABB%') AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value3'
    WHERE Dlv = 'Elec' AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value4'
    WHERE Ord = '0' AND Cat = 'Hdw' OR Cat = 'Bnd' AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value5'
    WHERE Ord = '0' AND (NOT (Cat = 'Hdw')) AND (NOT (Cat = 'Bnd')) AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value4'
    WHERE (Ind = '1' AND Cat = 'Hdw') OR (Cat = 'Bnd') AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value5'
    WHERE (Ind = '1' AND NOT (Cat = 'Hdw')) AND (NOT (Cat = 'Bnd')) AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value6'
    WHERE Ind = '0' AND Cat = 'Hdw' OR Cat = 'Bnd' AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value7'
    WHERE (Ind = '0' AND NOT (Cat = 'Hdw')) AND (NOT (Cat = 'Bnd')) AND Field1 = '';
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    My biggest problem seems to be that between the piece that updates Field1 as either Value4 or Value5 is that something is not right. I initially had this set up in MS Access, and so am using that as a comparison
    to check my final values once the field has been udpated. When I run in Access I get a total of 9,802 for Value6 and 14,107 for Value4, yet when I run the SQL code I get 19,548 for Value 6 and 4,478 for Value4.
    I also get some differences for the other values, but nowhere near as large of a difference as with the 2 values above. I feel fairly confident that I have something not quite right with my syntax, but I cannot
    figure out exactly what it is. Field1 at the beginning of the query is inserted into the table as a blank value.
    Thanks.

    Combining OR and AND may be tricky, so I think your problem lies here:
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value4'
    WHERE Ord = '0' AND Cat = 'Hdw' OR Cat = 'Bnd' AND Field1 = '';
    You can change this to
    UPDATE MyTable
    SET Field1 = 'Value4'
    WHERE (Ord ='0' AND Cat IN ('Hdw','Bnd')) AND Field1 = '';

  • PDF forms have problems displaying text and only appears when the field is selected

    Hello,
    I created some pdf forms to distribute to the company clients. But we are having some people complaining about the text visibility. When they have work in team, the pdf that they receive from a third person often appears unfill or without text, the text is only visible when the field is selected. I need to find a solution for this because our company products are base on this forms.
    If there is any addition information that I should add to understand what is happening and how to fix it, I'll be happy to write it.
    In the company, we all have mac and the forms where created innitially in Adobe acrobat 9 pro, but we have now Adobe acropabt XI pro.
    The users have both Mac and Windows systems.
    Thank you,

    This is usually caused by the form being filled-in and saved by a Mac user who is using the Preview application to view the PDF. More information is here: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
    It is a good idea to inform your users that Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) should be used to work with the forms.

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

  • Is there a way for a form field to show a name when the client sees it, but have the name disappear

    My client needs a PDF with fields. It's a letter. They want the areas for the header - names/addresses/company name/date, etc. to be variable, but when THEIR client looks at it, they want them to know what the field is. So they want the field labeled. But when the client then types in the field, they want that label to disappear.
    This one has me stumped! Thanks!

    In a text field, use Options > Default value. The user will have to delete what you write there when entering new text, or you'll get both.

  • Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

    Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
    A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

    AimeeLove,
    I have a solution for you.  You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock.  I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
    Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
    12 = 0
    1 = 250
    2 = 500
    3 = 750
    4 = 1000
    5 = 1250
    6 = 1500
    7 = 1750
    8 = 2000
    9 = 2250
    10 = 2500
    11 = 2750
    In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
    myVar = setInterval(function(){
         var pos = sym.getPosition();
         if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
              sym.stop(0);
              clearInterval(myVar);
    },10);
    When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline.  When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0.  Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
    In the mouseout section, put this...
    sym.play();
    clearInterval(myVar);
    It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
    Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
    Repeat this for each point on the clock.  To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar.  I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range.  50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it.  So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
    Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!
    Fred

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
    Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
    Answer YES to change the security.
    A new window opens:
         Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
         Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
         Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
              Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
              Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
              Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
              Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
              Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
              OK - OK
              Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
              OK - OK
              Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

  • Preview will not print 8.5" x 14", only when the computer feels like it

    This problem has gone on for too long and I don't know what else to do. I have flyers that I cannot print because preview refuses to recognize the document size correctly and consistantly, and I have no other program that can print to our copier.
    This happens with any PDF that is not 8.5" x 11". Both 8.5" x 14" and 11" x 17" exhibit the same problem. First I open a PDF in Preview, then I change the document size in Page Setup to "US Legal" and scale of 100% (the scale is always wrong because it is automatically resizing the document to fit on 8.5" x 11"). Then I go to print, check under Paper Handling and under Destination Paper Size is says "Use documents paper size: US Letter". This does not change no matter how many times I visit Page Setup and no matter how many times I save and re-save the file.
    At random it will recognize the document size as "US Legal", but this happens only when the computer feels like it, at least that's what it seems like because there are no other settings that are different between one file and another that would cause it to print one as Letter and the next one as Legal.
    Some PDFs are created in Photoshop, while other are created in Acrobat. I cannot print directly from Acrobat because of some weird problem with our copier; I cannot print from any Adobe CS3 software.
    I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    com.apple.print.custompapers.plist didn't exist on my machine, but com.apple.Preview.plist did. I moved it to the desktop as you suggested, opened the files in Preview and this time it worked. Thanks so much!
    I tried looking at the file, but it didn't make any sense to me. Must have been something in there that caused the problem, though.

  • Every time I send a photo it sends with "For Review Only" on the photo. How can I remove this so my recipient gets a good quality photo?

    If you used the Apple Professional Training Series 'Aperture 3' book, then this was in lesson #1 which had you set the 'Image Export' preset for the 'Email Medium - JPEG' to 25% of Original Size and to add a watermark (which happens to be the PSD file that overlays the image with 'For Review Only').
    You can fix this by going to 'Aperture menu > Presets > Image Export...' and selecting the 'Email Medium - JPEG' preset and then deselecting the 'Show Watermark' option.
    Note - you can also reset the 'Percentage of Original' field to %100 to get back to the defaults.
    If you did not use the APTS - Aperture 3 book mentioned above, then I am not sure where you got the watermark.

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.
