Using ALT+_ with Text Entry

Hi there,
I am trying to use Alt+A as the shortcut for several text entry boxes, but I can't get it to validate. As I searched for a solution, I did find this thread (where someone was trying to use ALT with clickboxes) where Adobe responded:
The problem is with actionscript 3. It does not send “Alt” keydown messages to event listeners in actionscript inside browser. In actionscript 2, there was a utility class named “Key” which has since been removed in Actionscript3. Using “Key” class we could determine whether “Alt” key is down in AS2. Now we have don’t have those means."
Does that mean that I can't use ALT as a shortcut?
I am using CP5, publishing to an exe file, on a windows 7 machine.
Thanks!

I'm afraid the answer is Yes. Many keystrokes are problematic this way. You'll need to find another shortcut to use.

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

Using Value in a Text Entry Box for Calculation in a Variable

I have a project where I ask the user to fill in their name in one entry box and their two-digit age in another text entry box. Later in the project, I want to ask them to think back to when they were 6 years old and how they would describe themselves at that time. (the project is on self-awareness). To make this as personable as possible, I thought it would be neat to say. "(Name Variable), think back to about (Years Since 6)years ago, when you were just about 6 years old". I am having trouble getting the "Years Since 6" variable to work, and would like to know if it is possible.
I have set up the text entry box variable as "v_age"
I have set up a variable as "v_age6" with a value of "6"
I have set up the result variable as "v_result_age6"
I have set up a standard action with a mathematical expression that reads "v_result_age6 = v_age - v_age6"
The variable output does not show on the stage in project preview mode, and I think it's because there is only one variable with an assigned value in the equation. The "v_age" variable does not have an assigned value because that is a text entry box.
Is it possible to use a value typed in from a user as a variable to do math with?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum,
Each TEB has an associated variable, its generic name is the same as the TEB. But you'd better link your variable with the more significant name to the TEB. Have a look at this real old blog post, still valid (although maybe the screenshots are bit out of date):
http://blog.lilybiri.com/timesaving-tip-create-associated-variable-for
BTW: you didn't need to create an extra variable for the number 6. This action would have done as well:
Expression v_resultage6 = v_age - 6
How do you trigger the action, by which event?

Problem with Text Entry BoX in Adobe Captivate 6

I could not enter correct responses for my text entry box. Plus, the "success" and " failure" options were greyed out for me under properties>options.
I notice my icon is IAB for text entry box, whereas some users have a placeholder sign for the icon.

This is very strange, even when not validated you should have at least the Success option in the Properties panel. If it is not validated you are left only with the Success event, that can fire an action when the Submit button for the TEB is pressed (or the shortcut key is used). You cannot be working on a master slide, because it is not possible to insert a TEB there. Please, post a screenshot of the stage with the properties panel, actions accordion.

I continue to have problems with text entry with Android 4.1.2 -- Any word on an update?

When my phone (Droid 4: I like the physical keyboard, which seems to be going the way of the dodo) was upgraded to 4.1.2 a while back, the following happened:
-- Spell check disappeared from text entry using any browser;
-- Auto-complete started losing track of where I was in a sentence, so hitting backspace deleted entire words instead of the last character typed;
-- The Swype keyboard ceased to function.
As a result, I had to give up on many of the spell-check features and give up on the Swype keyboard.
I'm really hoping that an update is forthcoming, and further, that it will fix the issues with the last one.
Anyone have any idea?

I have not installed any third party messaging apps or keyboard functionality apps, at least not intentionally. I rebooted in Safe Mode and all symptoms are the same. I tested it by going to Google Translate, which has a web input window. Spell check was inactive, Swype was capitalizing every word, making it basically useless.
A symptom that I failed to mention continues to be present in Safe Mode also – when hitting the shift key and backspacing, the selected text is not highlighted, so I basically have to guess what I’ve selected, and only find out if I’m right once I hit backspace or start typing in replacement text.
Spell check was inactive in third party applications also, for example Quick Office. It did show up in Gmail. I was unable to duplicate any application getting lost in terms of where the cursor is so that I deleted the wrong text; however, this is an intermittent problem, so I would probably have to do a lot of typing, etc., to duplicate it. However, I have seen other posts complaining about phone behavior very similar to what I reported.
Bottom line – The phone acted precisely the same in Safe Mode as it did outside of Safe Mode.
Thanks.
(Also, it would be helpful if you could tell me how to reply to a post in the community – I got this reply posted by replying to the e-mail, but I don’t see any reply link on the message webpage.)

Q10 buggy stuff with text entry making me sad

I impulsively replaced my 9700 with a Q10 instead of the S4 i wanted, and now i regret it. I am hoping these are just user errors as I want to love the Q10 and it's lovely keyboard.
Two major issues:
1. Autofill -- how the heck do you turn off text auto fill when typing text into the browser?? it offers me three autofill options of full sentences. So yeah, how many sentences do you think start with THE or I that I want to repeat??
2. Word Substitution -- after going to great lengths to re-set up all my favourite word substitution short cuts, none of them work when typing text in the browser. They once worked fine texting or in emails, but not browser text. However, after a couple battery pulls, Word Substitution does not work in any text entry function. Lovely.
These are my settings

AppleScript Studio/Xcode problem - Problem with text entries! Please help!

Hey, I've been up for hours each night looking for solutions to this but still have had no luck.
I am creating an app in Xcode/Applescript studio that will ask you to enter how many times you would like system events to repeat a certain keystroke. First of all, the code would look something like this:
on click theObject
If the name of theObject is equal to "myApplication" then
(Right here would be where the variables representing text in an input in the app's window would be, which I have absolutely no clue what to type.)
tell application "text edit"
activate
tell application "system events"
keystroke x (x representing a variable)
end tell
end tell
end clicked
and that's about as far as I can get. I want a variable representing the text in the main text entry box, but I have no clue how to access that text, or even know if it's submitted or detected when I hit a button. Hopefully you're following, as I am way to confused to fully explain it, but please try and help me out if you can.

Using perspective tool with text in AI CS5

Hi,
I am new to AI CS5 and was wondering if someone could please tell me how to use the Perspective tool with text? Also, does the text have to be expanded in order to use the perspective tool or is that not recommended?
Thank you,

Use of MIN with text data

I am not familiar with using MIN with text data as in the sample below and could use some help in deciphering what it is doing. This SELECT statement is taken from a larger CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW statement. The first line of the WHERE clause is making the connection to look at the correct user's information. The section after the first AND is what I am trying to interpret correctly. I have moved into a new position and wasn't around when this view was created. The statement is designed to assign the correct DOMAIN_ID to each user based on values in the elms.elms_dom_lkup table ed. This table consists of 4 columns: DOMAIN_ID, PROC_LVL, LOCATION, AND POSITION. The DOMAIN_ID is the only field that is not nullable. The primary key for the table is a combination of the 4 columns. The section after the first AND matches the PROC_LVL from the ed (lookup table) to the PROCESS_LEVEL in the cd (reference table) and confirms the process level is associated with the users primary position. It then looks for one of three conditions:
1. process levels match and LOCATION and POSITION are NULL
2. process levels match and LOCATION matches user's location in a reference table
3. PROC_LVL is NULL and POSITION matches user's position in a reference table
(SELECT MIN (domain_id)
FROM elms.elms_dom_lkup ed, mici.const_dept cd
WHERE c.constituent_id = cd.constituent_id
AND ( (ed.proc_lvl = cd.process_level AND cd.pos_level = 1
AND ( (ed.location IS NULL AND ed.position IS NULL)
OR (LOWER (ed.location) = LOWER (loc.campus))))
OR (LOWER (ed.position) = LOWER (c.job_desc)
AND ed.proc_lvl IS NULL))), /*Domain ID*/
My question revolves around the priority on those matches. The ed table is not organized in any manor. The records are in the order they were entered. Does the MIN in the SELECT statement cause the DOMAIN_ID

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
If v is a string column (such as a VARCHAR2), then MIN (v) is the first string in collating order (that is, alphabetic order, but with numbers and punctuation symols given particular values in the ordering).
It lookw like the code fragment you posted is a Scalar Sub-Query , that is, a sub-query used where an expression is exprected. For example, in a query like this:
SELECT *
FROM    scott.emp
WHERE   sal     > 1200
;You can replace the literal 1200 with any kind of numeric expression, even
SELECT *
FROM    scott.emp
WHERE   sal     > (     --Begin scalar sub-query
                SELECT AVG (sal)
                FROM    scott.emp
            )     -- End scalar sub-query
;You have to be careful that a sclar sub-query produces exactly one column, and either 0 or 1 rows. You'll get a run-time error if the sub-query ever produces 2 or more rows.
People sometimes use MIN in situations like yours when the sub-query might otherwise return 2 or more rows, and either:
(a) all the non-NULL rows will contain the same domain_id, or
(b) it doesn't matter which domain_id is used, just so long as it is one that actually exists in the result set.

Rows in a relational table are never in any intrensic order.
It looks like the question got cut off. Does the MIN in the SELECT statement cause the DOMAIN_ID to do what?

I see you corrected your first post.
842436 wrote:
... My question is does the MIN in the SELECT statement cause the DOMAIN_ID from the first record that meets any of the 3 conditions to be returned?Yes, it makes the sub-0query return the first domain_id ( in alphabetic order ) that meets all the conditions. If there are 1,000 rows that meet all the conditions, the query will ind all 1,000 of them, keeping track iof which one is first in alphabetic order. Remember that
'127.255.255.0' is less than
'25.0.0.0' in alphabetic order, because '1' is less that '2'.

Problem downloading photo elements 12. got message missing "file archive" using alt method with f# 2

problem with download for photo elements 12. got message as I downloaded file 2 (using alt method) that I was miss the "file archive"

Firstly, there's no such thing as Apache 9.3, there's Apache 1 (and subversions) and Apache 2 (and subversions). Your error message -
Oracle-HTTP-Server/1.3.28Shows you're using Apache 1.3.28
Secondly, I'm confused by your comment -
I do not have Apache 9.3 or higher but I think oracle should offer this in its companion CDOracle does offer the Apache server, if you're saying you didn't get it from Oracle then where did your Apache server come from?
Thirdly, I notice from your config file -
ErrorLog "|E:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Companion\Apache\Apache\bin\rotatelogs logs/error_log 43200"That you're piping the logs through rotatelogs, are you sure the logfiles haven't just been renamed?

Can I use click boxes and text entry boxes instead of quizzes to populate a certificate?

I have set up an assessment module in my project and i have enabled the reporting as follows:
Standard SCORM
Reporting Status: Pass/Fail and Percent
choose Report Data: Quiz results and slide view
Reporting level: Interactions and score.
I have uploaded this to inquis LMS and it tells me I have passed but records it as failed in the History. Is this a problem with my settings or the LMS does anyone know?
Also
It tells me in Captivate that I have passed but the certificate which I inserted as a widget in my project says I have failed ?

Sorry, I forgot to follow your question up. Too many things to be done at the same time...
There seems to be something wrong with the AS2 certificate, I have been reading this on the forum.
If you want to use the AS3 certificate, you have make your CP-file using AS3. This can be done in the Preferences, Project, Publish settings, Actionscript version.

Using Group BY with text fields

Hi,
Is there any way around the problem of not being able to
GROUP BY a text field???
I have tried using the CAST (name AS VARCHAR(8000)) but it
doesn't return the full value of the field...... I am getting about
250 characters returned....
Is there any way around this? ,

I am assuming MS SQL Server. According to SQL Server Books
Online:
Note: Columns of type text, ntext, and image cannot be used in
group_by_expression.
For GROUP BY clauses that do not contain CUBE or ROLLUP, the
number of group_by_expression items is limited by the GROUP BY
column sizes, the aggregated columns, and the aggregate values
involved in the query. This limit originates from the limit of
8,060 bytes on the intermediate work table that is needed to
hold intermediate query results. A maximum of 10 grouping
expressions is permitted when CUBE or ROLLUP is specified.

Using Smart Build with Text of a Title

I’m brand new to Keynote. I have successfully put in text for a title where the words of the title are in separate text boxes and move into a straight mid line. I tried to put a smart build of a sunrise in the background, but for some reason I could only have success seeing the text if I limited the sunrise to one pictures with the text moving onto the screen and aligning one at a time.
Any suggestions?
Hank Kearns

1. Create your titles with build in/out and move action build(s).
2. Click the Smart Build.
3. In the Build Inspector, click the "More Options" button and it will reveal a drawer.
4. Click on the 1st line in the drawer.
5. Click the "Set separate timings for elements".
Now you can reorder the animations so the text builds in, moves and out between stages of the Smart Build. There are options at the bottom of the drawer if you want stuff to happen on a click, with or after.
