Using text input by user in context

Please help! This is an urgent project so clear instructions
would be very helpful!
1) In the first frame of the movie there is a movieclip which
contains an input field and a submit button. The movie clip has the
instance name "enterName_mc" and the input field "inputName". When
the user clicks the submut button or presses enter, the name
entered into "inputName" needs to be captured as a string or
whatever.
2) After the second frame "enterName_mc" disappears on the
root timeline and then a new mc called "errorBox" appears on the
20th frame.
3) in "errorBox" there will be a dynamic text field that
needs to display the following text "Welcome <name captured from
inputName> to our website"
Basically I need to know how to capture the name, export it
to the _root timeline, load it into errorBox and then insert it
into a dynamic string of text!
If this can't be done, and it needs to all be inside the same
movieclip the same questions apply.

assign a variable's value to enterName_mc.inputName.text when
your submit button is pressed (before your goto method). then use
that variable to assign the text property to the textfield in
errorBox (after the textfield exists:
yourVar=enterName_mc.inputName.text;
errorBox.yourTextField.text = "Welcome "+yourVar+" to our
website";

Using text input to change content of gallery

Hello,
I have an application where I'm using multiple excel tables as my data. Each table has the same columns; The only difference is the data in each one.
I have a screen "GalleryScreen" where I have a Gallery (aGallery) that displays information from a single table (Ex: Table1). aGallery's data is set to Table1.
I now want to allow users to select which table they want to use in the gallery via text input; The user would select a table name via a dropdown menu, and the correct table would be displayed in the GalleryScreen.
However, I'm unable to pass text to the Gallery, since Gallery is expecting a collection; How do I get the application to use the text as a variable?

It cannot be done directly in Siena right now.   As a workaround, you can use If statements:
Create a Table that has the names of each table you want to choose between.   Name that column TName.
Save and import table into Siena.
Set the Galleries Data to: MyVal
(there will be red lines indicating an error, that's OK, we'll fix that shortly.)
Create a Drop Down called DropDown1.
Set the DropDowns Items to the Table you just imported.
Set the DropDowns OnChange to:
If(Dropdown1!Selected!Name = "aGallery", UpdateContext({MyValue: aGallery}),
If(Dropdown1!Selected!Name = "bGallery", UpdateContext({MyValue: bGallery}),
If(Dropdown1!Selected!Name = "cGallery", UpdateContext({MyValue: cGallery}))))
You can change the text in quotes to be whatever you want the user to see, as long as you also change it in the table that contains all the table names.   It does not need to actually n=match the Table Name Siena sees.

Text Input Help!

Hello, I have a couple questions when it comes to using text input:
After typing into a text input component, how can I get the cursor to disappear?? If I click outside it, that doesn't work. If I press enter, that doesn't work. If I click a custom component, that doesn't work. Is clicking a wireframe component, like a button or a data list, the only way?
Is there a way to make text input connected? For example, say I have a text input component and a search button. If I type "dog" into the text input and click search, a box appears that displays the results. Could I make it say "Your search for <blank> returned 5 results" where <blank> is whatever I just typed (in this case, "dog")?
Thanks!

Hi Sponce,
1) You are correct. Once a component has focus (i.e. the cursor), the only way for it to lose focus is for another component to gain focus. You can work around this with some programming, but you can't do it in FC. This actually seems wrong to me, so I'm going to file an enhancement request about it.
2) There is no way to do this in the current version of FC. (But of course, you can code it if you're willing to go to Flash Builder). We certainly hope to add it in the future. How would you imagine that working?

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

How to capture text input value by user in a LOV search popup page?

I need to capture the input by the user in LOV search page. I added one controller in the LOV region, and the flow is also working, but what I need to hold the search input in the search popup page. Also do you know what is the id of " Search Term" text input? then I can try to hold the value in PFR of the CO.

Hi Sandeep,
Yes, as of now I need to populate blank, so I need to modify the SQL, therefore I need to capture the value which is given by the user. I am trying to capture the value through passive criteria, but not able to get the result. I added below code in PFR of lov region controller,
       Dictionary passiveCriteriaItems = pageContext.getLovCriteriaItems();
       String lov = (String)passiveCriteriaItems.get("SwitchLOV");
      if ((lov != null) && !("".equals(lov)))
           throw new OAException(lov, OAException.INFORMATION);
SwitchLOV is a lov map I have added in the LOV, and
Programmatic Query set to true. and
LOV Region Item is the id for which user searches.
I am getting null in the "lov" where i have give some value in the search field.
Is this would be the way?
I dont understand where is the issue, Please suggest.

Can a ComboBox be used for Text Input ?

Hi
In Ms Access the combo box can be used for text input for creating new lines in the Database instead of just being limited to the lines already there in the drop down list. Is this possible with the combo box available in Flex 4. If it is I haven't being successful in getting it to work.
Thanks for you help in advance

When I type into the ComboBox's text input and click outside the combobox or on the commit button the application effectively freezes

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

With iPad 2 I can use Messages to text other iPhone users, but not others.

With iPad 2 I can use Messages to text other iPhone users, but when I try others I get the big red x on the contact. I have upgrade to Iso 6. According to the help on Messages, it should have the capability to text outside Apple Products

I suggest asking Verizon. Standard SMS text messaging is a cellular carrier function.

Make use of text input to submit text

Hello,
thanks for a lot of wonderful features in the second beta release. I particularly like the improved ability to do editing in catalyst (instead of always going back to illustrator to modify the slightest things, in the previous beta) and the improved performance.
My question is:
How can I submit text in a text input? (Say, the user keys in something into a text input, and clicks submit, is there a way for me to "receive" the things he keyed in and maybe even validate it?)
Thanks in advance!
By the way, I would like it if the performance can be improved further and i also vote for allowing us to reorder states in catalyst (I don't seem to be able to promote that idea in the Labs IDeas section)!
Regards,
Colin

Hey Colin,
Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it!
So, to 'receive' the user's input text and validate it, you're going to have to bring your fxp project into Flash Builder and do a little bit of coding.
The TextInput documentation gives some really good detail on how you can work with this control in more advanced ways: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/beta/reference/actionscript/3/spark/components/T extInput.html
I think you're going to want to listen to a textInput, or change event, and then validate there.
You can also add a Validator to validate your text input, where this flex quick start to validation guide might help you: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/validating_data/
In the meantime, if you have any ideas on how a feature like this may work in Catalyst, please post to the ideas site.

Air App will not read local text file using openAsync/readUTFBytes on user (non-admin) mode

I am running an Air App I did for the desktop, from the actual installed executable already deployed in the machine (Not from Flash Pro / Flex dev. environment). For some reason the app will not read a text file stored in the same application folder unless I run my app as administrator from the OS.
When I run the app as admin, or within the development environment it works fine. Maybe this is related to some security issue? I read the adobe air documentation, and this should work...
I am using openAsync/readUTFBytes on user as shown here:
var continueGamesConnection:FileStream();
var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
continueGamesConnection.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, openSavedGames);
continueGamesConnection.openAsync(continueFile, FileMode.UPDATE);
function openSavedGames(event:Event):void
     continueGamesConnection.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, openSavedGames);
     var content:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
     var loadedContent:String = new String();
     loadedContent = continueGamesConnection.readUTFBytes(continueGamesConnection.bytesAvailable);
     content.decode(loadedContent);
     variableX = content. variableX
     //etc, etc.
     continueGamesConnection.close();
By the way, I have also, tried using FileMode.READ, and others, and it still gives me the same problem. Only works if ran on admin mode or from the dev. environment.
It's very frustrating, I tried reading other posts without any luck... What solutions do people use for this kind of problem?
I have seen that you can set the app to run as admin somehow, and I guess that could work. However, this should work just fine, since it doesn't seem to violate any of the security APIs of Air. Seems like an overkill. But even so, how do I do that?
You help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks kglad.com. I will try this and see if it works. Can you check my code a bit to see if it's right?
var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("savedgames/continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
Does this look right to work across all desktop OS?

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

How can I have a checkbox that a user checks and populates a field with read only text, then if another checkbox is checked it will allow user text input

Hi
How can I have a check box that a user checks and populates a field with read only text, then if another check box is checked it will allow user text input into that same field, her is my javascript
var a ="Not Applicable"
if (this.getField("Do").value == "Yes")
a=""
if (this.getField("DoNot").value =="Yes")
a=a + ""
event.value=a
say if the "Do" cb is checked, Not Applicable would populate the text field, and if the "DoNot" cb is checked it would allow user input into the same text field, the javascript I have will not allow user input,
thanks for any help I am new to javascript

Are these fields mutually exclusive?

Is it good practice to define text elements in User exits & there by using?

Hi Experts,
Simple doubt that, am wrting code in a User Exit. So, here my code works only, if the DOC TYPE = 'XXX'.
So, instead of using hard coding as 'XXX', I wuld like to use a text element, like
if DOC TYPE = text-xxx.
my logic.
endif.
and creating the same text element.
so, let me know that,
Is it safe/recommended to use text-element in exits?
Is it good practice to define text elements in User exits?
thanq

u can also use SET ID's if u dont want to hardcode like that in ur program.
if u use SET ids , no need of transport request in case of change in the DOC types , directly u can change values in that set it , its like a master id.
sytax will be like this
doc_type in g_doc_type(this is set id ).
for creation of set ids see tcode GS01.

Conditional for a text input box NOT being null? Sorry for asking so many questions!

Okay, here's the situation. I'm creating a simulation of a form on which there are several text input boxes, 7 of which are mandatory fields. I know I can use a conditional to check whether the box has nothing in it by creating a null variable with no value and doing "if [box variable] is equal to [null variable] then", but the problem is that the validation captions I need to show need to be shown in order, that is to say that the caption for entering a value for the first box will always be shown if that box is null regardless of the contents of other boxes, the second will be shown if that one is null and the first one isn't etc.
When I was investigating this I noticed a post by Lilybiri saying that comparison with a null variable doesn't work for "not equal to" so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to show the captions based on priority. For example, to show the second caption I need to not only check whether the second box variable is null, but also whether the first one isn't.
It gets pretty crazy further along the line where I get to the 7th mandatory field and need to check whether the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth boxes are NOT null and whether the 7th one IS. Help!
I did come up with one potential solution to this prior to posting: if I set a different advanced action for each input box losing focus which checks whether the variable is null and if so sets a "flag" variable to 0, and in the else set it to 1, I imagine I can then replace the "not equal to" with a check to that flag variable being equal to 1 (which means there is text in the box). I think this will work but I thought I'd check to see if there's an easier way first.

No it DOESN'T require everything to be on one slide. It just has to LOOK as if that's what it is.
I would suggest that it doesn't really matter how many Captivate slides are involved in the final solution, as long as it works the same way (or as close as possible) to the original software that you are simulating. Your users don't frankly know or care how you achieved the simulation. I guarantee they won't be thinking of you or Captivate.
In my experience, you can make creating elearning a lot more difficult than it needs to be in Captivate by trying to rebuild the app, rather than just simulating how it works. For example, thinking that if everything happened on one web page or screen in the app then it must also happen on a single slide in Captivate. The fact of the matter is IT DOESN'T need to work this way. And in some cases it might even be impossible to reproduce in Captivate this way.
So the quickest path to a solution is often to use multiple slides, which has the advantage of allowing you to "fix" certain things on screen (e.g. the contents of fields already visited) by using READ ONLY variable output in transparent captions, focusing only on one element of the interface that the user can interact with on that slide. It doesn't necessarily prevent you from moving back and forth between elements, just as you can in the original app. But it is far easier to create and maintain.
I'm not saying you wouldn't be able to pull this off on one slide in Captivate, but it is going to require a LOT of variables and Advanced Actions to build and debug. So the term Rapid Elearning becomes something of a misnomer if it takes you a long time to complete one slide.
