Variables in text

When using Captivate 5 why does the text style change when I add a variable? For some reason it seems to make the font thinner and shift it down on the screen. This means that I can't align anything based on what I see in design mode. I have to run the whole project and then go back in an tweek the positions of all text with variables in them after seeing where their actual position is. Not to mention the fact that text with variables added doesn't match the rest of the text on the screen because its thinner. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

I see the same issue. It's incredibly annoying as nothing aligns properly:

Photoshop color variables or text heading styles? are they possible?

I am desigining a template which I would like to make in 15-20 different colors. Is there a way to set a color as a variable say "color1" and then set color1 equal to some value, say "#334f74" and then any instance of "color1" would be updated when I changed the value. For example if I have 10 layers each with a color overlay in the blending options they would all be updated to match the new color.
Also, is there some sort of photoshop "heading" system similar to Word, where I can select font size color, aliasing, weight, spacing, etc and save it as a "heading", then assign that heading to my text boxes? So if I change the "heading" then anything using that heading type would be updated.
This all seems like it should be basic functionality for a professional tool like photoshop, but I have been playing around with the variable settings and whatnot and cannot figure it out.
Thanks!

Mylenium is right.
Not only is Photoshop an image editor, it is already bloated with additional features that are not needed if somebody has the correct application for the job.
We don't need more features, we need improvements on problem areas!

Variable in Text Caption in Html5

I am trying to display the contents of a variable on a slide so I am using a text caption. It works fine on my PC, but on the iPad, where it is using Html5, only the initial value of the variable is being displayed. I've tried delaying when the caption shows up to give it time to pick up the variable but to no avail.
Failing this, is there some other way I can get the information in the variable out of Captivate 8, e.g. to email it or some such?
Thanks.

Could you try this: insert the variable in a text container on the first slide where it will be updated, and time this container for the rest of the project. Just to check if it never shows up on iPad?
You say that you see a difference between Preview in Browser as SWF and as HTML5? Did you try the HTML5 version on anything else than the iPad?

Static text | variable | static text

i'm thinking i need a simple actionscript to do this but i'm
not exactly sure. i have a dynamic text field that is loading a
variable named count. however i would like to place static text on
either side of the value of the variable. since the variable is an
integer that will only increase, it's horizontal width will also
increase as well. i can't very well place two strings of static
text on either side of a variable that will grow in width over
time. does that make sense?
essentially, i want to have a dynamic text box display a
string of text, then the value of a variable (that will change in
length), then another string of text, but i would like it to all be
seamless, looking as if i just typed the whole sentence in a word
processor. thanks for your time!

let say you have a dynamic text field with instance name
my_txt
when you want to increase the value, you run my_txt.text++;
when you want to decrease the value, you run my_txt.text--;
now, convert the dynamic text field to a movieclip symbol,
set the instance name my_mc
now, to set the value of text, we should use
my_mc.my_txt.text++;
but we are not going to set the value in this way.
now, go into my_mc movieclip, select the 1st frame, attach
script:
var actualValue:Number = Number(this.my_txt.text);
var displayValue:String = "";
function setValue(d) {
actualValue += d;
displayValue = "something"+actualValue+"something";
my_txt.text = displayValue;
setValue(0);
go back to your maim timeline. and now,
when you want to increase the value, use my_mc.setValue(1);
when you want to increase the value, use my_mc.setValue(-1);

Presentation Variable in Text field

Hi, I am trying to pass the text field parameter to Analysis from Dashboard Prompt.
I can pass the selected value of check box, list item but value that I put into the text field.
any idea how to do it?..
Thanks.~

Ok. here is what I found.
if It's Column Value when I set up at the Dashboard prompt, I can use Analyze. But when you use in Convert this to SQL to set the filter, IT WON"T WORK.
if you use Variable Value , it won't work at all.
What I was trying to do was using Variable Value to use less Textfield to search on different Columns.. it looks not working at all~..

(Bash) How to set a variable with text from a file? [SOLVED]

I'm having a little problem.
I have textfile with a single line of text. What I want to do is set a variable with that line of text. How do I go about doing that?
A simple var="text" wont work in this case, since the text in the file changes with another script of mine.
Thanks in advance.

if you have a file with more than one line but you only want the first line you could use 'head'
VAR=`head -n 1 file`

Using alerts with variables-"dynamic text" not working

Hello all,
I'm triggering an alert from a BPM, and have set the flag "dynamic text" on for the alert category associated with it. I'm doing it in a similar way to the blog 1382 by Michal:
[/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated|/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/13/alerts-with-variables-from-the-messages-payload-xi--updated]
The only difference is that I'm just assigning a fixed text instead of a payload element to the container element, which I've defined as simple type - string.
However, the text of the alert doesn't show anything. I'm getting an email with just "Process <id>" as the subject and "Alert ID: <number>" in the body of the email (the same in the Alert Inbox).
I'm starting to think that there could be something wrong in PI 7.1 which I'm using, as I've configured other alerts in scenarios without BPM without problem.
Thanks for your suggestions!

I've solved it using an alert from the Enterprise Services Builder (Integration Repository). It's a new feature in PI 7.1. It seems the tab "Container" in the alert category didn't exist before (that's why you don't find it in the weblogs of Michal and others) and now you have to use it.

Variable for texts in selection not unique

Hi Guys,
i have a query with a test variable in place in a selection restricted to 0Fiscper3. It worked before upgrade to netweaver 7.3. Now when i open workbook the text variable cannot be replaced.The error:Text variable ZCS_RV_T_PERIOD, which is found in the item "", needs to be replaced by the value of the characteristic 0FISCPER3. This value is not clearly specified in the item "". Therefore, no replacement takes place.
What can i do Does anybody an idea.Did the usage change in BW7.3.
Thanks and regards,
Murat

Hi,
If I am right and the description is as above then
in the query you are trying to replace the text variable ZCS_RV_T_PERIOD
and it should be replaced by characteristic value. The same
characteristic if it is also used in the selections with another values
makes no sense for OLAP processor to replace this. If you have
other selections which are done from 0FISCPER3,this will be the
same characteristic for which the text variable ZCS_RV_T_PERIOD should
be replaced.
The OLAP processor makes the replacement of such kind of
variables in context sensitive way. That means if you have another
values for this characteristic (use another variable with shifts) then
your selections are intend to return data for another characteristic
value that should be replaced. And this is not possible.
As a solution I would suggest to use another text variable which
should be filled not by characteristic value, but variables with
Customer exit or SAP exit. These types of variables will be replaced
in all cases.
Thanks,
Venkat

Need to display variable descriptive text in a report

Does anyone know of a way to display the descriptive text for user entry variables in Crystal Reports? I've tried a couple of methods in the past (a subreport going against master data and building an array of text valued from the data) but each has method has some significant drawbacks. How are customers dealing with this right now? I have been encouraging them to be satisfied with the technical names, but that doesn't go over very well.

Look like no one had any thoughts. I'll just close this one down for now.

Creating Variables From Text File

Hello a little new to powershell and have banging my head on the wall trying to get this working.
I have a text file (where the numbers of lines will change everytime) that will contain AD groups.
Lets say it looks like this
GroupA
GroupB
GroupC
I'm trying to you a loop that will read the file and output each new line to a variable so
var1=GroupA
Var2 =GroupB
Var3=Groupc
My first problem is that non of these can be null since this will be then be used with Add-ADgroupmemeber
So I have it get the number of items with $Items = get-content *File* | Measure-Object -Line
After that I have been trying to use a loop which to me looks like it should work however is not. I'm not getting any errors. However I'm not getting any created variables either.
For ($i=1; $i -lt $Items.lines; $i++) {
$var[$i] = (Get-Content *File*)[$i-1]
write-host $var[$i]}
In my head I should get a listed of each line of the txt file but I'm getting nothing.
In the end I was hoping to doing something along the lines of ADD-Adgroupmember -identity $Var[$i] -members *Machine Name*
If there is a better way to approach this I'm all ears.
Thanks for any help!

You don't need a loop to read each line from the file. You don't need a variable for each group read from the file.
For example, if your file looks like:
GroupA
GroupB
GroupC
with spaces/empty lines in it, that you wish to ignore, you can use:
$Groups = Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) }
The $Groups variable will be an array that holds non-empty lines from the file. You can use that directly as in:
foreach ($Group in (Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) })) {
Add-ADGroupMember -identity $Group -members *Machine Name*

Value from a formula variable into text variable in BEx Query

Hello,
if anyone knows how I can do the following please let me know:
I have a formula variable in a formula (ZUM_KVAL). The value will be entered before execution of the query.
Now I would ALSO like to display the entered value (from ZUM_KVAL) as at text variable (ZUM_KTXT) in the name of the field in the query/report.
If anyone could provide me with info about how to do that, I'd appreciate very much.
Thanks in advance.
Cu, Stefan

Hi Shashank,
    You can achieve this by creating a customer exit variable for calendar month.
Function module :
READ TABLE i_t_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'Date variable name ' INTO loc_var_range.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
    year = loc_var_range-low(4).
    month = loc_var_range-low+4(2).
     CLEAR l_s_range.
     l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
     l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
     CONCATENATE year month INTO l_s_range-low.
     APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
   ENDIF.
Hope this will help you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Customer Exit to derive formula variable to text variable (BW 3.5)

Hi gurus,
I have created a formula variable in a BEX report (BW 3.5) that is fill by the user during runtime. This formula variable is used in conditions and other key figures in the query.
What I need now is to use the value given by the user in this formula variable and expose it in a text variable.
The variable properties are as follows:
VARIABLE 1: 'MONTOANA'
Type of variable: formula
Processing by: user entry
Variable entry is: mandatory
Ready for input? YES
Dimension ID: Price (currency: Argentine pesos / Unit: per mil)
VARIABLE 2: 'TXMONANA'
Type of variable: text
Processing by: customer exit
Variable entry is: mandatory
Ready for input? NO
Dimension ID: Price (currency: Argentine pesos / Unit: per mil)
I pretend tu use the value of 'MONTOANA' in the variable 'TXMONANA', so I wrote the following code in transaction CMOD (enhancment EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001, include ZXRSRU01):
CASE i_vnam.
WHEN `TXMONANA`.
    IF i_step = 2. "after the popup
      LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range
        WHERE vnam = 'MONTOANA'.
        CLEAR l_s_range.
        l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
        l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
        l_s_range-low = loc_var_range-low.
        APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
        EXIT.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
I'm not getting any result for the text variable. Could you kindly help me?
Thanks to all in advance!!!
LL

We found the solution with members of our ABAP team. In the end the issue was due to the type of the field. The field loc_var_range-low is CHAR 60 so I had to extract the first characters on the right to get the value I wanted to deliver into the text variable.
Thanks anyway for your help. Regards, Leticia

Movie refuses to load variables from text file

Hi,
I'm sure you can solve my newbie problem in less than 1
minute...
I'm pulling my hair out on a template I bought 2 days ago
from templatemonster.com
I am using Flash 8 Pro.
All I want to do is change an existing textfield that is
Static to Dynamic and load variables from a text file.
The Action Script I use to do so comes directly from
Macromedia documentation (see attached)
It works fine when I create a brand new movie, but doesn't do
anything when inserted into the template.
It doesn't even complain about not finding the text file if I
rename or delete it!
Here are the FLA and text file:
Edit : Link to source file removed
The textfield I would like to change is in the txt2 symbol.
Here is how I proceed:
When I open HEADER.FLA, Flash tells me I'm missing a font,
ok, so I click on Use Default, I'll deal with this later.
I open up the Movie Explorer, go to Layer 30, go to Frame 75
and click once on txt2
I name the instance "myMovie_mc" and save (converts from
Flash MX to Flash 8)
I double-click on the Movie Clip, select the word
"Automobile" on the Stage, change from Static to Dynamic and call
that instance "myText_txt"
Still in the Movie Clip, I create a new layer I call
"actions", and in Frame 1 I copy the attached Action Script:
This script works when I create a new flash file, but it does
absolutely nothing in this template.
I know I'm doing something wrong, but I wonder what?
Many thanks to any helping soul!
Ferris.

try this:
// Load text as variable and assign it to the
// dynamic text field
var features_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
features_lv.onLoad = onText();

function onText(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
myText_txt.text = features_lv.safetyfeatures;
} else {
myText_txt.text = "unable to load text file.";
or this
// Load text as variable and assign it to the
// dynamic text field
var features_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
features_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
myText_txt.text = features_lv.safetyfeatures;
