Trying to create a text item with a scroll bar in Indesign 5.5

Is there a simple way to create a scrollable text article in Indesign 5.5? It will later be exported to a SWF as a mini-flash web portfolio.
I would appreciate any help.
I'm new to Indesign.

Do you mean a text box people can type in (for a Web form
entry) or one for displaying your content?
If the first, then you use the textarea tag and scrollbars
appear when the user types more lines that you specify. See the
textarea
description at W3Schools.
If the second, then that's usually done in Flash, but can be
done with CSS. See these two pages:

text with scrollbar (Flash)
Textbox

How do i control 2 text boxes with 1 scroll bar? (CS4)

I want to control 2 Dynamic Text boxs with the 1 scroll bar component? I want them to scroll simultaneously with the user only needing to use the one component. Thank you in advance for your help

The textfields should have the same number of lines. You can have the scrollbar (sb) assigned to one textfield (t1) and then have an event listener/handler for the scrollbar adjust the other textfield's (t2) scrollV property to match the first one's scrollV property:
import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
sb.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, adjustTs);
function adjustTs(evt:ScrollEvent):void {
t2.scrollV = t1.scrollV;

Dynamic Text Feild with Dynamic Scroll Bar

I have a Dynamic Text Feild with a dynamic Scroll bar.
It loads a simple ASCI text file with some html formating.
but I still can not manage to get the text to format.
The biggest problem with the format is a big space between
paragraphs.
I am not sure why but I think the Frame must need a var to
render to html.
Can anybody help please?

My text had the following, similar but no parsing string.
I guess
yourstring.split("\n\r").join("\r").split("\r\n").join("\r");
takes out the carrage returns or <br>?
I notice the one I had just say's String.
I assume that would be the text that is the string?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of this.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src != undefined) {
myTxtFeild.text = src;
} else {
myTxtFile.text = "Error loading text.";
my_lv.load("CadnetPage1_html.txt");

Hi,
You can create two blocks for this. One is an unbound block which consist of a text box with a command button. Other block is a bound block from your table(multiple rows block). In hierarchical, unbound block should above above bound block, which makes the focus control goes first to the text box. When the user type the dept code and click on the button it goes to bound block and execute the query.
you can write code in the command block as below
set_block_property('<boundblockname>',default_where,'deptno = '||:ti_DEPTNO);
go_block('<boundblockname>');
execute_query;Best Regards

Trying to make new text item in Pages 5.2 using Applescript

I am trying to upgrade(?) from Pages 3 to Pages 5 and have a script that used to make a new document with text boxes. Previous line was:
make text box with properties {object text:receiptDD, vertical position:6.9, horizontal position:2.7, height:0.5, width:1, extra space:0}
Have the line changed to:
make new text item with properties {object text:receiptDD, position:{6.9, 2.7}, height:0.5, width:1}
but fails with error "Pages got an error: Don't know how to create TMAScriptInfoProxy" number -2763
Not sure where to go from here, searched various forums but cannot find a solution, any guidance gratefully received.

Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

Trying to create a text that is on fire or more like a hot branding iron

Something like this?
That was from a project I did a few months ago. Sounds similar to what you want. I did that in After Effects.
Basically all I did was add a glow effect to the text and messed around with the glow parameters. The black smoke is animated and moves on the actual video and is basically some pre keyed smoke footage that I had. The smoke was originally gray but black looked cooler.
I'd say it's pretty close to your hot branding iron thing.

Trying to create this Text Transition...

Hi guys, can anyone help, I'm trying to create a text transition like the one below in FCP...
http://www.alex.mastersofcreation.com/alexw/spacetesttransition/spacetesttransit ion.html
Just something similar, does anyone know of any useful plugins or tips?
Thanks

Create your text layer with the title and blow it up to be the size of the screen and keyframe it so it moves right>left. Place the second layer of video (the one you're transitioning into) below the text layer, and set the text layer's composite "Travel Matte".
Nest (or export with an alpha channel and bring back in) this sequence above your first layer of video.

How to create a text Component With Certain Properties

I need to create a text component with the following properties:
Has Capability to be italic, right/left aligned, have different background / foreground colors, and most importantly, the ability to have a fixed width and a height that is set by the amount of text in it (ie line wrapping expands the field vertically).
It should be a simple exercise, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do it.

Here is the correct syntax :
private static JEditorPane constructPane(String text, int normWidth, int normHeight, boolean rightAlign, boolean italic,boolean isWhite) {
          JEditorPane pane = new JEditorPane();
          pane.setEditable(false);
          pane.setContentType("text/html");
          pane.setText(
               "<html><head></head><body>"
               + (italic?"<i>":"")
               + "<table><COLGROUP><COL width=\""+normWidth+"\"><THREAD><tr><td valign=\"top\" align="+(rightAlign?"\"right\"":"\"left\"")+">"
               + text+"</td></tr></table>"
               + (italic?"</i>":"")
               + "</body></html>");
          pane.setSize(normWidth,normHeight);
          if(isWhite)
               pane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(1,0,1,0,Color.WHITE),BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0,1,0,1)));
               pane.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
          else {
               pane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(1,0,1,0,Color.BLACK),BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(0,1,0,1)));
               pane.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
          return pane;
     }

Whfree can i find my channels in elements 11..i am trying to create a text effect

I am trying to create a text effect that requires me to make all channel active. Normally in photoshop i can find the tab near my layers but they are not there.

There is no channels palette in Elements.
You can select channels in the levels command. There is generally a way to do what you want in Elements; can you give more details about what you want to achieve?

Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I am confused with text item (TATX).
which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
Best regard!
Tangdark

Hi,
you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

I am trying to create a class diagram with jdeveloper but class is grey out

i am trying to create a class diagram with jdeveloper but class is greyed out even though I downloaded the J2EE version
I went through the following steps :
Click the project in which you want to create a new diagram, choose File New from JDeveloper's menu, then select General Diagrams in the left pane of the New dialog.
I have downloaded J2EE Edition Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984

When the class diagram is disabled - does the wizard for creating a new class in the new->General also disabled?
If it is then you are not placing your cursor on the project before you choose file->new
(you are probably on the workspace that contains the project).

Im trying to create a "wobbling" effect with a bitmap

im trying to create a "wobbling" effect with a bitmap
any idea how to go with this with director?

It somewhat depends on what the effect is intended to acheive.
Here is a simple behavior script that can be applied to any bitmap. It wobbles, in the sense that it has a radom movement about its axis.
That is acheived with the random() statements. The amount of wobble can be controlled by changing the value added to each parameter on each iteration.
The last three statements keep the wobble from randomly walking off the frame. Again, wobble can be changed by setting the corrective value at which point the bitmap returns to its original state.
Hope this helps.
