Text wrap for a paragraph: How to define the width of a Text box / active text area? I simply need a longish text to wrap within the frame!

Hello, I've been searching for a good while in the forums now, but have found no solution or real mention of the problem – I hope some of you can help.
I want to very simply layout a text between scenes, a slightly longer text that wraps within the frame margins. Here's an example of how I want it to look:
Now, I couldn't for the life of me get the Custom Text to behave like that, as there are no parameters to set for the width of the text area. The Text Size, yes, along with the Tracking, Baseline and all that, but the width of the text box, no. The above was created by customizing one of the other Text Generator presets that happened to be left aligned.
However, this preset has a fade in/fade out transition, which I do not want. There's no way to remove this transition as it seems integrated into the Text Generator (meaning they are not really presets, but separate kinds of Text objects? Very silly.)
So I am asking you: Is there any way to get the Custom Text generator to behave like that? Just a text paragraph as above. Below you'll see all I can manage with the diffferent Custom Text parameters. Any kind of repositioning and resizing of the text just changes the position and size of the frame – but the actual text items are just cropped off where they extend out of that frame. Apparently the bounding box for the text is just some default length, and I can't find any way to adjust the width. See below my different attempts.
The same text pasted into a Custom Text generator clearly extends outside the frame:
Here Transform just moves – or resizes – the video frame that the Text Box exists inside:
The Crop gives similar results, and of course Distort doesn't get me closer to what I need, either. There should be simply a Text Box Width parameter to set somewhere, but if it exists they have hidden it very well. How do you do it?
Thanks for any help, this is a silly problem, but one of now many trivial problems that amount to me growing quite dissatisfied with FCPX. Hopefully I've just overlooked something.
All the best,
Thomas

Thomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it!

How to define the texts for UI element Dropdownlistbykey?

Hi everyone,
I don't know how to define the texts for Dropdownlistbykey. It seems that Dropdownlistbykey has an attribute "selected key", but where can I bind the texts I want to display when user clicks the downwards
arrow?
Thanks in advance.

hi,
you can use this code :
method WDDOINIT .
DATA : node_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
         value1 TYPE wdy_key_value,
         set TYPE wdy_key_value_table,
         k1 type string value 'M',
         v1 type string value 'MAGO',
         k2 type string value 'S',
         v2 type string value 'Saurav'.
value1-key = k1.
value1-value = v1.
APPEND value1 to set.
value1-key = k2.
value1-value = v2.
   APPEND value1 to set.
node_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
node_info = node_info->get_child_node('FOR_DROP').
node_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'DROP_KEY'   value_set = set ).
I hope it helps.
Thanx.

How to define the default activity for an unbounded task flow?

In the new "Fusion Developer’s Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework 11g Release 1" documentation at the bottom of page 14-3 it states "An unbounded task flow .... contains a default activity, an activity designated as the first to run in the unbounded task flow, because an unbounded task flow does not have a single point of entry."
What I can't find is how to define the default activity in an unbounded task flow and where this is recorded? Can we set this via the task flow diagrammer, and which configuration file is it stored?
I note the first time I run the application with an unbounded task flow a dialog asks me which of the activities in the adfc-config.xml file to make the default, but I can't find where this is recorded.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
CM.

Chris,
In fact this information is nothing that belongs into the taskflow meta data because unbounded taskflow have more than one entry point and there is no notion of default. Its a tools setting (JDeveloper) we had before

How to define the margins of a leaf in numbers 3.2

how to define the margins of a leaf in numbers 3.2
leaves appear without margin and not when moving from one sheet to another

Hi Ariel,
Numbers 3 does not show margins in normal (edit) view. Some help with layout:
Try Alignment Guides and Rulers as suggested here:
Print View workarounds
Use a layout guide:
Layout Guide for Numbers
If you previously had Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) it now lives in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. It works just as well as it used to, and has a proper Print View.

How to define the Market Sales KF, in order to receive the desired result

Hi all,
I dont know how to define the Market Sales Kefigure, in order to get the following result. Any hint is more than welcome.
Prd_ID = Product ID
PS = Product Sales
M_ID = Market ID
MS = Market Sales
MS% = Market Share ( formula in BEX PS/MS)

Prd_ID;PS;M_ID;MS;MS%
A00001;10;MRK1;100;10%
A00002;20;MRK1;100;20%
SBTOT;30;MRK1;100;30%
B00001;40;MRK2;200;20%
B00002;30;MRK2;200;15%
SBTOT;70;MRK2;200;35%
GTOTL;100;MRKX;300;33,3%
Products A00001 and A00002 compete in the same market. So the individual marketshares should be calculated against the market MRK1(200), e.g. 40/200 and 30/200.
The totals now, of the A00001 and A00002 products(3040) should be compared against the same market MRK1(200), and not against the MRK1MRK1(200+200).
Thanks
Vasso Siagri

Maik,
thank you for your answer, but I am afraid this is not giving the desired results.
What I want----
>What am getting
Prd_ID;PS;M_ID;MS;MS%
A00001;10;MRK1;100;10% ---> 10;MRK1;200;5%
A00002;20;MRK1;100;20% ---> 20;MRK1;200;10%
SBTOT;30;MRK1;100;30% ---> 30;MRK1;200;15%
B00001;40;MRK2;200;20% ---> 40;MRK2;400;10%
B00002;30;MRK2;200;15% ---> 30;MRK2;400;7,5%
SBTOT;70;MRK2;200;35% ---> 70;MRK2;400;17,5%
GTOTL;100;MRKX;300;33,3% ---> 1000;MRKX;600;16,7%
Neither resticted KF restricted on Market ID is working for many markets; it is working only if you analyze one market id.
Any idea? bw idea? What actually I need is aggregation of unique records in terms on market id.

How to define the memory leak in stability test

Hi
Usually, we run our system with 70% CPU load for 72 hours for stability test (on solaris 10), because some plugin of our system is using mtmalloc, and we use prstat to monitor the memory of each plugin. But because of the complex memory usage of our application, we don't know when the application will use the Max memory, and because of the "mtmalloc", the memory showed by "prstat" will not released but continually increased.
So fro the test point of view, there is the risk of memory leak, but actually, there may be no memory leak, so my question is how to define the memory leak in such condition.

isn't java heap the same as memory allocated to the java process in my weblogic

let me also download jprobe and try to run it and see what it gives me.
I'd start by running with -verbose:gc. I'd want to know whether you're
running out of heap or permgen space.

Unfortunately memory leaks are not fun to track down even with tools.
I'd first suggest determining whether you're running out of space in
the
permanent area (where classes are loaded), or you've exhausted the java
help space.
I'd start by adding -verbose:gc. Look at the gc messages right before
you hit the OutOfMemoryError. If there's plenty of space left, I'd
suspect you're running out of perm space. Search these newsgroups and
the web for MaxPermSize, and you should see plenty of info.
If you're running out of java heap, tools like jprobe and OptimizeIt
are
helpful. If you can tell me a little more about your application and
how you're testing it, I can offer some more tips.

This is a selection table which contains the DIMENSION name and the selection options. Here is how to fill the table. For example, say you wanted to select on only JAN.2012 for a certain account.
clear ls_sel.
ls_sel-dimension = 'ACCOUNT'.
ls_sel-sign = 'I'.
ls_sel-option = 'EQ'.
ls_sel-low = 'CE40041000'.
insert ls_sel into table lt_sel.
clear ls_sel.
ls_sel-dimension = 'TIME'.
ls_sel-sign = 'I'.
ls_sel-option = 'EQ'.
ls_sel-low = 'JAN.2012'.
insert ls_sel into table lt_sel.

How can define the cost center (department) manager?

We are on 11.5.0.10
Financials implementation is done(GL,AP,AR,FA,IA)
In iAssets System, we want to set up the approval method to use "cost center-based approvals". (For cost center-based approvals to work properly, each cost center must have a manager defined.)
How can define the cost center (department) manager? Thanks.

I believe this is done in the organization definition screen. For each organization, we attach a classification "Company Cost Centre" (the same place where we attach the classification operating unit, inv org etc). In the others section, there are 2 additional information - GL company cost centre and reporting information. In the GL company cost, you need to attach the balancing segment value and the cost centre value. In the reporting information, you need to attach the manager for that organization. This ay the relationship between the cost centre and manager is created.
Hope this clarifies.

Also check with the Documentation of Compensation area.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 - How to define the YUM repository URL

The documentation shows an example or two about how to define the URL of the Yum repository I created, but it doesn't seem to define EXACTLY what to do. For example, the URL to the directory with my RPMs in it is:
http://my-yum.acbl.net/yum/OracleVM/OVM3/3.1.1/patch/x86_64/getPackage
Can someone tell me how much of that path I should enter into the "YUM Base URL" sub-tab under the "Tools and Resources" tab in the VM Manager? I have tried to make an intelligent guess (or two), but it's not updating properly, and I don't know if I'm entering the URL properly.

Thank you. I'll try that, and update this again, if it seems to be wrong.
I actually opened an SR on this, and asked this same question. After several hours, I got a response, something like "What part of the documentation do you find unclear?". I tried to carefully explain that the docs don't (as best I can tell) define how much of the path should be in the URL given to Oracle VM. I still haven't heard back.

Someone please tell me how to define the cutout selection tool.

Someone please tell me how to define the cutout selection tool. Is there a way to adjust the outline once it is automatically selected?

In my version it is called the Cookie Cutter tool. If this is what you are referring to, drag out the shape for the "cut", then adjust with the corner handles of the bounding box. You can also enter dimensions on the tool's option bar. Finally, commit with the green checkmark.
