Textfield redraw bug caused by text overflow

Situation: I have a runtime created movieclip with a dynamic
textfield contained in it. Some fonts types cause overflow in the
textfield (part of the text is drawed outside the textfield area)
causing a redraw bug when dragging the movieclip. The overlow
occurs on the left / right side of the textfield but only for
certain characters (because they are wider then usual).
If you have a textfield with the text "f" using the New Timer
Roman font, an overflow will occur on the right side of the
textfield, causing the above redraw bug. For other fonts the bug
also happen on the left side.
The problem is solved by recreating the movieclip, but I am
dragging the movieclip so I will apreciate if someone have a better
solution...

are you adding content dynamically or using preloaded text
with non supported Font?
in both the case try to embed font and then once data is
placed inside textfield use
updateAfterEvent() to refresh or make your own refresh script
if possible coz sometimes this method wont give u desired
result.

Confirmed Bug in Siri - Texting a character not found in 7-bit ASCII Table Causes SMS to Fail

I am 99.9% certain I have singlehandedly discovered and solved a bug in Siri that causes SMS messages to fail (without a failure notice, i.e. red exclamation mark). This problem confounded me for several weeks. (Note: This issue does not affect iMessages.) After four hours of support phone calls to AT&T and Apple, 2 replacement iPhones (set up as new iPhones, and not restoring the backup), a SIM card replacement, a reprovisioning of my entire account with AT&T, and a very upset girlfriend who was understandably skeptical that I was really texting her when I said I was, I had no solution in sight, and my SMS woes persisted. I ended up solving the problem on my own through trial and error.
THE PROBLEM:
When I dictate an SMS message, if I dictate the word "elipsis" it rightly interprets what I have said as "..."
However, as of today's date, Siri interprets "elipsis" an an extended ASCII version of "...", a version where the elipsis is actually one character and not three separate periods. The one character version of elipsis is not found in 7-bit ASCII.
If you try to text a character that is not 7-bit ASCII, your text message will not be received by the recipient, regardless of the recipient's carrier or phone, and you will not get a failure notice.
If you have any doubt whether Siri has interpreted "elipsis" as one character or as three, try deleting it. If the entire elipsis deletes simply by depressing delete one time, you have generated the single character (non 7-bit) elipsis, a character that cannot be texted, and which will "mysteriously" cause your text to fall into an abyss.
THE SOLUTION:
It seems that the permanent solution is that the Siri servers or the iOS needs to be reprogrammed only to respond with 7-bt ASCII characters when the user depresses the Siri button to dictate an SMS message. In the meantime, until Apple solves this probem, the user should refrain from dictating any punctuation that will cause Siri to respond with a non 7-bit ASCII character.
(Apple, I want a gift certificate for solving this problem.)

Too bad Apple will never see this post since this is a user-to-user site.

Error while executing web part: System.StackOverflowException: Operation caused a stack overflow

Hello All,
I have a list with about 70 or so columns. When I try to access a NewForm for this list, I get an 'Unable to display this web part' error.
Looking at the Correlation always says it is a:
"Error while executing web part: System.StackOverflowException: Operation caused a stack overflow."
I have read many pages on the internet that it is due to an XsltTransformTimeOut value set to 1. I have applied the Feb 2012 CU and tried changing the value to 5, 10, 150, 250 and each time I reset IIS before I tried loading the form again. Each one has
failed and the correlation says the same thing (stack overflow).
I do not know what to do next because every page on the net says it is from that timeout value but I have followed the steps properly to change it but nothing has worked.
Thank you for your help!

You may be exceeding the number of columns threshold with 70 or so columns in your list.
Take a look at the Column limits here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787.aspx#Column
Okay, so please help me to understand this. It says the maximum value for single line of text is 276 and the size per column is 28 bytes. How would I know if I have pushed the limit? I just multiplied 28 x the number of single line of text columns in that
list and the answer is 840. I do have many other columns, such as multiple lines of text and choice. I do not know if the theory above is correct though, because 28 does not go evenly into 276 (276/28 = 9.857)
Please help me understand how to calculate my fields to see if I have went beyond the limits.
Thank you!

Duplicating movieclips w/textfields on them & changing the text

Okay, there is a movie clip in the library. Has three layers. Each of the layers is also in the library. Layer 1 has a button symbol, layer 2 a text symbol with instance name 'item_label', layer 3 is color. instance name is 'flbutton'. To me, it looks like this was created into a symbol itself and given intance name of 'menu_item'.
An array is created with button label names. A loop is created based on the number of labels in the array. An instance of 'menu_item' is created each loop and placed on the stage/screen and the text on the button is changed to the item in the array.
My question....how do you do that in AS3?
var menu_label:Array = new Array("Introduction", "Templates", "Services", "Clients",
         "Testimonials", "Support", "About Us", "Contact");
// *** menu label array length must be equal to number of
// *** total frames inside "menu button bg" Movie Clip in the library.
var total:Number = menu_label.length;
var tween_duration:Number = .85;// in seconds
var radius:Number = 185;
var angle:Number;
var i:Number = 0;
function create_menu():Void
angle = (i - 2) * Math.PI * 2 / total;
position_x = Math.cos(angle) * radius;
position_y = Math.sin(angle) * radius;
var fm = menu_item_group.menu_item.duplicateMovieClip("menu_item" + i, i);//** menu_item_group is instance name already on the
                                                                                                                  //** stage and is instance of symbol in library that has
                                                                                                                  //**instance name of menu_item
fm.stop();
fm.bg.gotoAndStop(i + 1);
fm.over = true;
fm.item_label = menu_label[i];   //** here is where the text of each newly created MovieClip's text is changed
fm.item_no = i;
more code.........
loop
Can someone tell me how to do this in AS3? I have learned how to duplicate a movieclip with DisplayObjects, but I have no way of knowing how to get to the text field in order to change it.
Regards,
Kevin
ps. new to Flash. Decent amount of VB programming experience.

You are correct about the instance names etc... my apologies... I did not save my work and lost what I was doing. My Dev enviroment is a personal laptop with Flash. The company has yet to purchase Flash. My laptop did an auto Windows update. I lost my testing .fla.
You were right about the instance name. It was missing from my previous example. That has been correct. I now get no errors, but setting the autoSize property did not work.
I'm creating two MovieClips. One is the MovieClip of the actual TextField and the other is of a MovieClip with the TextField on it.
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
When I create the MovieClip of the TextField directly:
var mcTxt:MovieClip=new clsText();   //pardon me, but I just had to use some VB naming conventions to help myself out.
addChild(mcTxt);
mcTxt.item_Label.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mcTxt.item_Label.text="Hello Willeeerrrrr";
When I add the field without changing the text, the text field defaults to "Hello World". When I attempt a change as in the code above, the text field looks as follows: Hello Willeee. If I add a fourth 'e', .text="Hello Willeeeerrrr", it will add it to the text field the next time I test. The final 'rrrrr's' get truncated. Wierd.
Now, when I do the above on the MovieClip with the child text field, the text just disappears.
var mc:MovieClip=new clsMenuItem();//MovieClip with the embedded/child textfield
addChild(mc);
mc.mcMenuItem.item_Label.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mc.mcMenuItem.item_Label.text="Hello Willred";
The above code causes the text to display blank.
I'm close and hope it's just a property setting...ideas?

Is there a way to make a checkbox cause specific text fields to be required?

Ji everybody, I'm Trying to make this work. Its really the problem described in this thread:
Is there a way to make a checkbox cause specific text fields to be required?
But i cant bring it to work.
ive attached a screenshot of my settings.
any help is much appreciated!
thx

If the export value is not specified, it is by default set to "Yes" in the language of your version of Acrobat which can be quite annoying when you are creating a file using two computer that have different language settings.
If the export value is not important to you, you should use the property called .isBoxChecked(0) instead of the value property. It works the same way except it is boolean (true or false) .
if (this.getField("myCheckBox").isBoxChecked == true){
this.getField("textField").required = true;
alternatively, there is a method called .checkThisBox() for manually checking boxes.
this.getField("myCheckBox").checkThisBox(0, true) will check it while (0, false) will un-check it regardless of the export value.

Detecting/Correcting text overflow

Hi folks,
Has anyone here ever been able to successfully determine if a TextItem in PS has overflow in it? Basically I am trying to write a script that replaces text in a document. If this in turn causes text overflow I would like the script to reduce the point size. I have done a few exeriments with both point and paragraph text.
There seems to be no obvious methods or properties for determining that overflow occurs. I thought I could cheat and measure the widths and heights of the text items before I replace the text, then check to see if they are different afterwards and if so, reduce the point size.
However in the case of point text it is not possible to determine the text width so I would have to do something like rasterize it then do the measurement. In the case of paragraph text the height and width of the text box do not change if there is overflow.
Does anyone have any better, more efficient ideas?
cheers
Ben

Many thanks Paul, that method works fine for point text.
As for paragraph text I think I have come up with a solution.
If we convert a paragraph text layer into a point text layer by doing something like:
ArtLayer.textItem.kind = TextType.POINTTEXT;
and overflow has occured, photoshop will clip out the overflowed text.
So after converting the paragraph to point text we need only check that our
text contents matches the text we are trying to replace it with.
These solutions are a both work arounds, it would be nice if there was a proper
method or property to deal with this. Maybe I will make a dear adobe entry.

Encore CS3: Freezes completly when checking for "Subtitle Text Overflow"

Hi,
I have a project with about 2 hours of film in several timelines. Everything has been subtitled for hearing impaired.
My problem is that I can't "Check Project" with the "Subtitle Text Overflow" option checked. If I do so, the project freezes - and dies.
Now, I could care less about this bug if it wasn't for the fact that Encore automatically FORCES a "Check Project" when ever you try to build a DVD.
I have gone through every subtitle and can't find text overflow anywhere.
Can anyone help me out? :-/
Best regards,
David

Each subtitle in a script has a start and end timecode. Are you positive that none of the end timecodes collide with any of the start timecodes?
Also, which TV format is your project? And what is the delimiter between hours minutes seconds frames of your subtitle clip (i.e., is it a colon : or semicolon ; )?

Problem with text-overflow:ellipsis

I have a panel on my page that I am trying to stop from becoming too deep, so I have set a max-height and am expecting the text to present me with '...' when the box is no longer large enough. Trouble is, it's not working. The only time I can get CSS to activate the ellipsis is if I use text-overflow:nowrap, but I need it to wrap for three lines maximum before the ellipsis kick in.
I have this a rule in my external style:
.pnlchat {
          background-color: #2a2d2c;
          padding: 35px 35px 28px 35px;
          margin-bottom: 9px;
          max-height:100px;
And this is inline CSS:
<div class="pnlchat" style="overflow:hidden; white-space: normal;text-overflow:ellipsis;">
What am I doing wrong?

I like this jQuery Condense Plugin.
https://github.com/jsillitoe/jquery-condense-plugin
You can configure it to truncate text to however many characters you wish.
I have a working example below. Click the MORE+ or LESS+ links to see it in action.

Dealing with text overflows...

I have a list of dynamically generated band names which I need to display across 2 fixed height columns on my page. The list varies in length considerably according to the requirements of the site owner who is using a CMS to update the database. Is there any way of using css to make the text flow automatically to the 2nd div when the first is full? Or something else? php?
Thanks

Hi again -got the css3 version working and its absolutely perfect so very pleased with that. Obviously though there are problems with the other browsers so for the time being I've set the text overflow to scroll, which is just about ok though not very elegant.
So I would really like to crack the php solution - also good practise for me as I am trying to learn it.
I've spent quite a while trawling looking for code snippets and found the following, which is slightly different in that the code is - I think - attempting to limit the length of the text that goes into the various cells, whereas I am trying to limit the number of records. I think mine is probably simpler but am struggling to adapt it. Before I spend hours and hours on it I wondered whether you could take a quick look and let me know whether you think its feasible?
For the basic code - to assign 2 divs to divide the records between:
<div><?php echo($text[1]);?></div>
<div><?php echo($text[2]);?></div>
The php - limits the content to 100 words per div, I think...
$words=explode(" ",$text);
$c=count($words);
echo("<div>$words[0] ");
for($i=1;$i<=$c;$i++){
if($i%100!=0)echo("$words[$i] ");
if($i%100==0){echo("</div><div>$words[$i] ");}
echo("</div>");
I can work out some but not all of it so would be very grateful for any advice,
Thanks again,

How to set the textfield not to scroll the text?

hi to all....
what will i do if i want the textfield not
to scroll the text if the text is very long..
what if i wanted the text will just display
"this is a test..." a three dots will be display
before reaching the end of the textfield...
i tried geting the width of the text but what
if the string contains so much letters such as letter
"i" good if it will contain letters with big spaces to
occupy.. but if letter "i" it would be small...
pls. tell me.
thanks in advance
Kent

well, u can do this...
catch the keyPressed event which is generated when u press the VK_RIGHT button ( ->, right arrow key) (which u will for scrolling) and consume the event as soon as u reach the width of the text field.
bye

Allow page breaks and text overflow indicator

I have set up a sub form to allow page breaks within content which works but then the content that continues on the next page has the text overflow indicator showing and the text field does not expand which is what I want it to do. What do I need to do to get it to continue flowing?

I do not understand why this should be so difficult. What I am doing is just opening a blank form and I can either insert a text field or a subform. I then go to check allow page breaks within content and it is greyed out on a text field. I also can create the subform and it allows me to set it to flowed and allow page breaks but it then has a indicator that displays (Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting allow page breaks within content object of the parent object restrict this object from breaking between pages). The only thing that makes sense is the parent is the blank page form. I have searched all over the place and I cannot see anyplace to set the form page to allow page breaks. The only thing that is on the form is either a check box or a subform and thats it. It keeps having a problem with a parent object. The only 2 objects I see are the blank page and then the text field I add. Nothing seems obvious to fix this. This software does not appear to be very user friendly.

Bug with highlighted text in Illustrator CS6

Hi! I use AI CS6 on a mac book pro Lion 10.7
I got a recurrent bug with the text tool.
When I selct a text sometimes the highlight totally hide my text and it's difficult to edit it! I tried CMD+H and CMD CTRL+H but nothing works, even hide bounding box...
As you can see... It's an issue to read and edit the text properly!
And even in wireframe view CMD+Y texts appear like blocs!
And besides this happen not on evry texts in the document.. I don't have a clue
Very annoying!
Anyone has the same problem? Solution is would be appreciated!
Thanks
Samy

Hi SaCha_bxl,
What you have done is, Switched on the "Show Hidden characters" option. U can hide it back by
Clicking on "Type" (Which will be in navigation bar) and see if u have checked in "Show Hidden Characters " if so uncheck it and your problem will be solved.
or you can also use the short cut " Alt+Ctrl+I "

Javascript popup causing Japanese text transformation

I found out that ALL the popup creating javascript
(window.open - triggered from swf or HTML code) causes the double
to single-byte japanese display transformation.
This happens only on PCs, not on Macs.
You can see the real time exemple on
http://celine.aam-com.com/jp/
Go to COLLECTIONS section (it shows the nav bar on the right
with japanese letters). Then click on the HTML link in Japanese
which opens a popup window. This slitely modify the japanese text
(double to single-byte). On non-Japanese OS, this causes the text
turning into little squares.

Create the <A> like this
<A href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript:fnPopup()">link</a>
or
<A href="javascript:fnPopup()">Link</a>
To achieve this I will type the following in URL
javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript:fnPopup()
Note: there is no double quotes at the beggining and end.

Crazy Redraw bug

Anyone else experiencing this wacked out redraw bug? This is after a restart! The AE is displaying remnants of a Quicktime movie trailer that was open 5 minutes ago (along with other screen junk).
I'm using the infamous NVidia 8800 on Mac.
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w134/navstar/AEerror8800ScreenSnapz.jpg

*Yum, yum* Have you disabled OpenGL in AE? If so already, this could only be remnants of MediaCore decode buffers or MediaCache conform files, both of which are also tied in with hardware acceleration. Not sure what would resolve the matter, though. In my view the 8800 is simply fundamentally evil...
