Text object inside MC tracked as button

Hi people!
I'm trying to use a dynamic text box inside a movie clip
tracked as button, but the text box object is not recognized. The
system refers to it as instanceX where X is a random number. Below
an example of the debug list object:
Level #0: Frame=1
Button: Target="_level0.circle_mc"
Shape:
Edit Text: Target="_level0.circle_mc.instance7" Variable=
Visible=true Text = "
Anyone knows how to correct this problem or how to access the
object.

two accordion widgets next to each other maybe?

One pair of radio buttons to control multiple text objects - Designer 8.0

Greetings - a big thank you in advance for any assistance. I have often found answers to my problems on this forum, but have been unable to find an answer to the following.
The short of it - is it possible to make a pair of radio buttons control the visibility of multiple text objects with the same name(I have had success in manipulating only a single text object with one pair of buttons)?
The long of it - I am trying to make a form bilingual based on the value of a radio button group to control the visibility of the text object in the selected language. When the user selects the language they wish to see, all the text objects in the form switch to that language. I am working with a dynamic PDF.
I have succeeded to a very limited extent in manipulating one text object by overlaying text objects in both languages, setting one object to "invisible" as default, and controlling that text objects visibility with the following JavaScript in the click event of the radio button group:
----- form1.#subform[0].ENG_JPN::click: - (JavaScript, client) -------------------------------------
if (ENG_JPN.rawValue == 1)///1 equals the value of on
{English.presence = "visible";}
else
{English.presence = "invisible";}
if (ENG_JPN.rawValue == 2)///2 equals the value of on
{Japanese.presence = "visible";}
else
{Japanese.presence = "invisible";}
endif
The problem is I need to manipulate the visibility of all text objects with the same name on the form with a single radio button group. I have tried writing the code as one does for the sum of a repeating field, ie. English[*].presence etc. however I get a C++ error in preview.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I am truly stumped - thank you for your time.

To access objects with the same name you need to deal with occurance numbers. If your object is called TextField then the 1st occurance will be TextField[0], the second occurance will be TextField[1] etc.....
The issue is that the [] in javascript are interpretted as an array element so you have to use the syntax: xfa.reolveNode("string") to get to your object names. In your case you would use:
xfa.resolveNode("TextField[1]").presence = "visible"
This string syntax allows you to use a var to hold the index number and is very useful with for loops where you want to set large numbers of objects. So if the index was held in the var i then your syntax would be:
xfa.resolveNode("TextField[" + i + "]").presence = "visible"
If the objects are in a repeating subform then the occurance numbers are on the subform and not the object. You can always get the expression to use by app.alert(objectname.somExpression). This will return the expression that you need to create.
Make sense?

How can I embed a text field inside a text object in a fillable form?

I am a new user of LiveCycle and am slowly figuring things out. I don't really understand any of the scripts-- thatlevel is way beyod me. I am hoping that someone can tell me an easy way to insert a fillable text field into a text object. I have been assigned a huge project of converting some very old Word forms into fillable PDF forms. I have done okay with many of them, but ran into a snag with some of the form letters that our employees need to fill out. Basically, there is a block of text (the body of the letter) in which employees will need to be able to type in a date that the recipient of the letter must respond by. I have read up on floating fields and thought that was the solution to my problem, but it seems that floating fields are really just meant to be filled from a data source rather than having info typed into them.
Can anyone help-- I am desperate at this point. There has to be an easy way to insert a fillable text field object or a Date/Time object into a block of text so that the surrounding text will expand and contract around the length of the date entered (this is important, as many of these letters pertain to legal matters and cannot have blank spaces in them).

Hi,
You can split your text object into different parts and place text fields inbetween the parts. With a little manuvering, you can make it look good.
An alternative is to place text field(s) outside the letter body (and set the visibilaty to screen only). Use these to populate the floating field.
or
script the external text fields (or the subform containing them) to be "hidden" using the "Preprint" event, then revealing them ("visible") again using the "Postprint" event.
Hope this helps, good luck!

How to insert custom text inside a text object?.

Hi, I'm trying to do something like this:
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, <DYNAMIC TEXT> essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
I need a text object (not sure if text, text field, or what type exactly is the correct one) and through a variable I need to modify the <DYNAMIC TEXT> part of the text, if I read correctly this is done using scripting.
What I didn't find was a way to alter only the highlighted text, and not everything.
This is to make a sort of contract, where some fields are subject to be modified, like names, dates, amounts, etc.
Thanks in advance!.

Duplicate the keyframes or use the SO multiple times with suitable staggering offsets. Or simply render it and reimport the resulting video/ image sequence.

How to Change behavior of standard text object&text ID (SE75)?

Hello there!!
I'm struggling with this:
For standard text object C_SHES_ACH & ID 0001 (EHS: IHS Safety Measures) wichs is used as a description for safety measures (CBIH82/CBIH02..) need that when the user create or edit the text, already appears a "Fill in the blanks" form.
For example, in CBIH82, editing an accident log, I go to Safety measures Button, then create a safety meassure, and when i click for long text description something like this should appear:
TEXT 1 (1st Title)
user line
user line
user line
user line
(free amount of user lines)
TEXT 2 (2nd Title)
user line
user line
user line
user line
(free amount of user lines)
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Rgds!!

Hii,
I am unable to understand exactly wat you want.
But for free amount of lines : Keep that text under LOOP. Right click on template or window and create a loop and under that loop keep the text ,you can get many lines. or the given below point plzz follow.
1,Use SO10 Tcode to write standard text in Smartform.
2.For long text
method1
Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to include text
then you can input text name/text object/text id/language
method2
create PROGRAM LINE node - use FM READ_TEXT to read it to a internal table
then use LOOP or TABLE node to display it
For TEXT module(For foreign language)
Tr-code:smartforms -- choose Text module(not choose form)--create a text module object
then enter smartform Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to text module
input the text module name which created by above
3.
1. take function module name of the smartform.
2. goto se37 and type that fm name.
3. goto attributes tab
4. double click on either program or include .
5. There u can find all the subroutines used inside smartform.
6. search for "perform %move using %textkey-name".
4.Standard Texts are created in SO10 Tcode and stored in STXH table with OBject ,ID and NAME parameters. We can use Read_Text FM to read the text.
check the tables STXH & STXL.
5.
How to CAll Standard Text in Smart Forms
In SFs you can insert the standard tests using the TEXT node. Create a TEXT NODE. Then in the GENERAL ATTRIBUTES of this TEXT node select INCLUDE TEXT in the TYPE option. Then you have to enter the text name, object , ID and language in the provided fields. Then if you dont want any error if there is no text in the corresponding text then CHECK the check box "No errors if no text available.

Formula for comparing string and setting text object to visable?

I have a report that is pulling data from a database and listing multiple records, one on each page. I am wanting to compare a value that is stored in a database field for each record and setting a text object visible based on the text.
I'm very new to Crystal Reports and not quite sure on the type of syntax needed to perform what I'd like below and can't find much information online about it. The type of formula I want would be something like:
if (vDetailReport.BoardAction = "Board Action w/Committee Action")
    txtBox1.Visible = True;
else if (vDetailReport.BoardAction = "Board Action w/o Committee Action")
    txtBox2.Visible = True;
else if (vDetailReport.BoardAction = "Committee Discussion Only")
    txtBo3.Visible = True;
etc.
The txtBoxes are text objects with an "X" as the string that are inside the boxes to appear as a checkbox. I'm wanting this to work for every record in the report.
Example:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/kaje103/boardaction.png
Any help would be much appreciated!

I believe that what you want to do here is place an text item consisting of an "X" at each location you want. Then select "Format Text", go to the Common Tab, and click on the button next to "Suppress". That allows you to put in a formula such as:
{vDetailReport.BoardAction} <> "Board Action w/Committee Action"
that will suppress the X unless it's the value you want checked.

Multiple SQL task objects inside a package object is not generating proper DTSX

I am programmatically adding multiple ExecuteSQLtask objects inside a package. I am specifying all the required properties to the ExecuteSQLtask objects. However, when I save the package object to dtsx, the package looses the properties of some
of the ExecuteSQLtask object.
In the below example, I have created 3 ExecuteSQL task objects using the function AddSqlTask. However, once you run it, one of the objects will loose its properties. What makes it more weird is the fact that sometimes, object 1 looses the properties,
some times, its object number 2. Its random. I know that these objects are COM objects. Is there something I need to careful of when setting the properties ? Why are the values lost when I save them to DTSX ?

How can I change the color of a object inside a symbol?

Hello!
I'm working on this study and I need to change the color of an object inside a symbol when I click another object.
The object is called "bola", wich is inside the symbol "ponto" and the clicking object are the colored pencils (each pencil should change the color of the symbol's object, giving the impression you'd selecting a different pencil to draw).
I think it's simple to understand what I mean when you see the files.
I already tried this line on click event of the pencils, but it didn't work:
sym.getSymbol("ponto").$("bola").css("color","#123456");
Anyone knows how to make that work?
I would like to improve the experience of drawing as well. I made it with the "mousedown" event. Is that a better way to get a similar effect?
My files
Thanks a lot,
Clayton F.

http://www.meschrene.puremadnessproductions.net/Samples/HELP/LapisB/Lapis.html
http://www.meschrene.puremadnessproductions.net/Samples/HELP/LapisB/Lapis.zip
You need to create a var that changes the css background color..
Hopefully you can understand what I did...
The text I left showing so that you could see it change...
I updated the files and all colors should work now.

Can't add database field or text object to a report (new and existing)

We have Crystal Report 8.5 and when trying to modify an existing report or create a new report, I can't seem to add any database fields or text objects in my report. I get a prohibition symbol (circle with a backslash inside it) when I hover over the report. Has anyone encoutered something like this? Any suggestions? Thank you.

Do you have two monitors?
I had this problem if I tried to open crystal in the second monitor, move it back to primary monitor and it should be OK.

Text Object with a Paramter Field in It

think I am losing my mind. I have a text object on my report for the 'From' and 'To' dates on a report. So that the spacing works between the words, I add a text object to my report and type the word "From" (without quotes). Then, I drag the start date into the field next to the word From. Then I type "To" and insert the ending date.
I right justify the contents of the field. I position the object on the right side of the report (not right at the margins about 1/4" in).
Just above this combined field, is a special field with the print date. It is also right justified and the two fields are right aligned.
The problem is when the report prints, the combined field isn't truly right justified. There are what appears to be extra spaces in it. The fields look similar to this...
02/20/2009
Report range 01/01/2008 to 12/31/2009
They should be perfectly aligned based on the CR layout. I have done some testing. If I remove the text and just leave the dates in the text object, I have the same results. It looks like it has something to do with the brackets that get placed around the parameter field when it is placed inside the text object.
Report range {?datdeb} to {?datfin}
Has anyone else run across this? I have noticed this on several of my reports and decided to try and find a solution.
Could it be a variable font issue? The problem goes away if I use Lucida Console (a fixed width font). It is somewhat better but not perfect with Verdana as the font. It is horrible when using Arial. I can't believe this is an issue that others have not run across. I searched the forum with no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Gilley Estes

With the help of one of our programmers, he suggested using a Trim function in case there were extra spaces in the field. So this is what I ended up doing.
Created a formula with the following:
"Report Range " + Trim (totext({?datdeb})) + " to " + Trim (totext({?datfin}))
?datedeb = beginning date parameter
?datefin = ending date parameter
By using the trim function, the extra spaces that were inserted into the field were removed.
Go figure! Oh well... At least there is a solution.
HTH someone in the future...

Can I embed fonts of all Dynamic Text objects in a Flash file?

Hi there!
I'm fairly new to Flash, so please bear with me.
I have created a Flash file which will act as our company's standard presentation / portfolio of all previous projects. I've pretty much got it running the way I want, but I've just tried it on a few different computers and realised that the fonts aren't embedded. I've used our corporate font so it needs to look right. Having read the following documentation (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000893.html) I now understand how to embed fonts for one dynamic text object at a time. However, I have a lot of different dynamic text objects in the file and I would dearly love to embed them all in one step! The same embedding options can be applied to just about all objects, as they're all the same size and font.
I hope someone can help me. If you are able to help please spell things out in simple steps!! I am aware that I probably haven't yet grasped a number of the basics of Flash.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Static text doesn't need to be embeded. So I'm not sure what the problem you are having is. The page you linked to is for making an embedded font in your library that can then be exported for actionscript and used by code and style sheets. If you are following the instructions on the page you liked to you only need to do that once. Which shouldn't be too hard.
That is usually a different problem that having a bunch of different authortime created textfields that need to have characters embedded.
As far as I know your only hope to change a bunch of authortime/library items is using JSFL. So even if the thing I pointed to isn't exactly what you need you could keep googling a bit or use that as a template.
JSFL files are just text files so open it in note pad. Look for the line:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip")
and change it to this:
if(it[i].itemType == "movie clip" || it[i].itemType=="button")
Now it does buttons. You give up too easy.

Service objects inside libraries (WAS: Interfaces in Forte -has anyon

The following message is actually not about interfaces, but libraries:

1) Just to be 100% correct -- it is actually Libraries that areloaded and
not Interfaces. The distinction is important because a librarycould
potentially implement many interfaces (or provide manyimplementations for a
single interface).
2) The code in a Library may reference a service object, but itmay not
define a service object. Of course any SO's referenced by thelibrary
must already be known to the loading partition. It is OK to havecode like
this in a library:
MySO.doSomething();
The documentation is a little vague on this point, but I haveconfirmed that
this is true through Tech Support and by experimentation.
Actually you CAN define and use service objects inside libraries
(compiled or interpreted) with two restrictions:
1) You can not define two service objects inside library in different
projects and call one of them from another. If you need that, both
service objects must be in the same project.
2) If service object is defined and used only by library (if it never
referenced directly by application code), than in order to be able to
partition application, you will need to create dummy method inside
application, which will reference this service object (you do not need
to execute this method - just have in the code).

The way stateful Web services are currently handled is through the use of cookies ... once your stub invokes a stateful Web service a cookie is created which routes subseqent requests back to the Web service.
In your scenario, the problem is given one client has creates Web service 1 and now Web service 2 would like to be able to use that state it really isn't possible unless you engineer a solution yourself ... you would need so somehow set the cookie on your Web service 2 client to that of the original client to Web service 1. State tends to be based around an individual client versus multiple clients for that state.
There are numerous ways around this but you would be engineering around the issue ... the easiest is to write the state out somewhere so that it can be shared.
This section of the doc gives a brief overview:

Cp7 - Text objects appear in filmstrip but are not visible in main window

Hi all
A problem has surfaced this week. When I open up any existing quiz projects, text objects aren't appearing. You can see on the filmstrip in the attached screenshot that there are 5 text objects on slide 1. However, none are showing up in the main window.
Clicking the preview button has no effect, whilst if I try to double-click on one of the text boxes I am bombed out of Captivate.
The files themselves are fine as my colleague has opened them no problem, so I've tried uninstalling Captivate and re-installing but this hasn't worked.
I had a webchat with one of Adobe's support representatives who asked me to copy the slides to a new project. This worked but it's going to take ages to do this for all of our existing projects.
Any ideas why Captivate is doing this?
Thanks!
MJ

Thanks for continuing to help out with this!
I have tons of general projects that combine various elements. However, the ones that have stopped working are those that feature quiz question slides. You're right, the slide highlighted in my screenshot isn't a question slide itself, but the same issue is occurring for all slides in any project that contains a quizzing element.
These projects also make use of the Google LMS Widget. I'm not sure if that is having an effect.
Thinking about it, I did install a MacOS security update over the weekend that was pushed to my Macbook. Perhaps that has in some way conflicted with the widget or quizzing element? Like I pointed out in my original post, I have no problem with any projects that include quizzing and the widget that I have created this week. It's just affecting any of these projects from before this week.
It must have been this update: About Security Update 2015-002 - Apple Support

How to use an instance of a text object

Hello All
I have an animated open in which animated panel reveal video and text behind them, I need to add second text object to the animation that is going to be on top of the animated panel this text object I want it in the same place as the text to be revealed but I want to scale to make it look as if it was scaled (magnified) up as the panels move across the screen to reveal the video and text, but I want to use only one text object. In after effect I can accomplish this by precompossing the text then adding the comp text in a main comp and scaling the copy of the text comp but I only have to change one text layer. So what I want is to change edit one object in motion instead of duplicating the text layer and then editing two layers instead of one.
Thanks for your help
Juan O

Hi all
I found the the answer to my question, but thanks for your help anyways.
here it is
added a layer then
added a text object (position size etc...)
selected the layer
went to objects menu and selected replicate (short cut letter " L ")
I needed to scale the copy (replicate) of the text object
so I scaled the replicator object inside the replicated layer
I had to move it to compensate for the scale
since I wanted to use it like a reflection across the panels
I added a copy of the panels to the replicated layer (the copy of the original text layer)
then added an image mask to the replicated layer
turned off the panels inside the replicated layer
selected the image mask
from the layers tab I draged the turn off panels object and droped it in the small drop box with the title "image"
in the image mask tab
set the source channel to Luminance everything else at default
and that is it
Thanks again, and I hope this will be of help to others

Can I import Powerpoint text objects into CP as seperate layers?

I have a Powerpoint presentation I would like to convert to a CP7 project. I imported the Powerpoint and checked the 'sync' checkbox. In CP I added voice over to each slide. Now I want to time the fade-in of each of my bullets to the audio track. However, the individual text layers that exist in Powerpoint are not brought into CP as seperate layers. This makes it extremly difficult to time the bullets to the audio track because the audio is in CP and I have to implement the timing in Powerpoint. Is there any way to import the Powerpoint text objects into CP as individual layers?

Not possible, each ppt slide will be turned in sort of a movie slide that
keeps timing and animations. Maybe you need a ppt plugin instead of a full
authoring tool?
