Write text string using actionscript?

Hi,
I'm rather new at actionscript. I know I can do this in
javaScript using "document.write" but I don't seem to be having any
luck with actionscript.
I'd like to include some text strings that display within a
actionscript function.
I have a dynamic text field called "pagecount".
The function is:
function onEnterFrame()
pagecount.text = _parent._parent.rdinfoSlideCount;
I want to include text that says to the user "You are now on
page _____ (results of the function)."
With JavaScript it might look something like this:
function onEnterFrame()
pagecount.text = document.write("You are now on page ") +
_parent._parent.rdinfoSlideCount;
This doesn't work.
What would be the syntax to add text to the actionscript
function?
Thank you,
TPK

If I understand, then this would do it:
pagecount.text = "You are now on page " +
_parent._parent.rdinfoSlideCount;

  • Multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms

    multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms
    Instead of creating multiple forms, 1 in each different language, for the same service, is there any workaround?

    Hoan - is your question what are the considerations when creating multiligual catalogs? If so, I can tell you that at other clients I have seen them use a single catalog for one or two languages. For the two langugages, such as Spanish/English, you can create a single catalog with both of them. Once you get to more than two languages, the catalog would get unweildy and is therefore not suggested.

  • How To Color a Text string using Regex (java.util.regex)

    Hello,
    How can I color a text string using regex class in 1.4?

    Yes, did you notice it said something about incredibly vague functionality?
    Let me break it down for you
    > How can I color a text string
    Strings do not have color... You can color a component (a label, a button), but you can't color a string
    > using regex class in 1.4?
    Using a regular expression? How would a regular exression color anything? Do you have embedded color codes? Are you searhing a string for some secret word?
    What are you talking about?

  • Using CLOB as a VARCHAR2 to write a string

    Hello everyone:
    I have this situation:
    After a query, i need to order the query rows in a table. To do this, i write a string using HTML format. Then, i send the string (message) by email, and i save the same in a table (database).
    The message, must be 32767 as a maximun number of characters. Because, the message is a VARCHAR2.
    When the number of characters is greater than 32767, in can't use this way.
    So, i trying to use a CLOB datatype, but i don't know how to write the string and then, send it by email.
    I wrote this code:
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ CLOB;
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ := '<table border="1"><tr>FECHA DE PROCESOS CORRECTAS</tr>';
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ := xSGLOSA_UNO$ || '<tr><td>Rut Operador</td><td>Nombre</td><td>Proceso</td><td>Fecha Proceso</td></tr>';
    BEGIN
    FOR CONSULTA_UNO IN(
    SELECT
    FPR_NRUTOPERADOR,
    OPE_SNOMBRE,
    FPR_SCODPROCESO,
    FPR_DFHOPROCESO
    FROM
    FECHAS_PROCESO,
    OPERADOR
    WHERE
    TRUNC(FPR_DFHOPROCESO) = TRUNC(SYSDATE)
    LOOP
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ := xSGLOSA_UNO$ ||  '<tr><td>' || CONSULTA_UNO.FPR_NRUTOPERADOR || '</td><td>' || CONSULTA_UNO.OPE_SNOMBRE || '</td><td>' || CONSULTA_UNO.FPR_SCODPROCESO || '</td><td>' || CONSULTA_UNO.FPR_DFHOPROCESO || '</td></tr>';
    END LOOP;
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ := xSGLOSA_UNO$ || '</table>';
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    NUMERROR$ := SQLCODE;
    MSJERROR$ := '[NES$FECHA_PROCESOS] FECHAS CORRECTAS (' || SQLERRM || ')';
    RETURN;
    END;
    And i have this error:
    [NUMERROR$:=-6502], [MSJERROR$:=[NES$FECHA_PROCESOS] FECHAS CORRECTAS (ORA-06502: PL/SQL: error  numérico o de valor)]
    Please, help me with this issue. I am new in Oracle, and i don't have idea the real reason for this.
    Thank you for support.

    Now... when you do things like:
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ := xSGLOSA_UNO$ || '</table>';
    then you are concatenating a CLOB (xSGLOSA_UNO$) to a VARCHAR2 ('</table>') which can be done by either convert the clob to varchar2 or the varchar2 to clob before concatenating. || is a overloaded function which accepts two varchar2 or two clob parameters (amongst others). As the CLOB gets bigger than 32k you cannot just let oracle decide how to convert so, you should do:
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ := xSGLOSA_UNO$ || TO_CLOB('</table>');
    instead.
    And this at every place where you concatenate
    eg here too:
    xSGLOSA_UNO$ := xSGLOSA_UNO$ || TO_CLOB('<tr><td>') || CONSULTA_UNO.FPR_NRUTOPERADOR || TO_CLOB('</td><td>') || CONSULTA_UNO.OPE_SNOMBRE || TO_CLOB('</td><td>') || CONSULTA_UNO.FPR_SCODPROCESO || TO_CLOB('</td><td>') || CONSULTA_UNO.FPR_DFHOPROCESO || TO_CLOB('</td></tr>');
    I don't know the datatypes of CONSULTA_UNO.FPR_NRUTOPERADOR and the other components used...if they are VARCHAR then convert, if they are CLOB then let them like they are.

    If you are talking about planning members with a text data type then it is not possible to load the actual text string using a load rule,essbase just stores a numeric value and the text string relating to that numeric value is stored in the planning applications relational tables.

  • Cp4 AS3 - using Javascript to generate a text string

    I'm a complete Javascript beginner, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question!
    I need to generate a pseudo random text string. I'm using the unpatched version of Cp4, AS3, Internet Explorer 7
    I've had a look at Captivate.Dev.com and the w3schools site to try to understand how to pass variables & basic javascript, and this is what I've come up with:
    var objCP = document.Captivate;
    function GenerateCode(){
    var rngen = new Array(8);
    var tgits = new Array(8);
    var cdrtn="";
    var lpdx=0;
    var mulier=1;
    for (lpdx=0;lpdx<=5;lpdx++){
    rngen[lpdx]=(Math.floor(Math.random()*9)+1);
    mlier=mulier*(rngen[lpdx]);
    tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+"";
    cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    rngen[6]=(mlier%17)%10;
    rngen[7]=(mlier%13)%10;
    for (lpdx=6;lpdx<=7;lpdx++)
    tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+"";
    cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    objCP.cpEISetValue('MyJavascriptVariable', cdrtn);
    GenerateCode();
    I've created a user variable called MyJavascriptVariable , put the code above in the On Slide Enter, Execute Javascript window on the first slide, and on the second a simple caption box showing the variable contents.
    However, when I press F12 I get an orange playbar at the top of the window, and in the middle the preloader and the captionbox (without the return value) flickering. i.e. classic sign of wrong AS version.
    If I change to AS2 the movie progresses ok, but the value the caption reports back for MyJavascriptVariable is blank.
    I know my core code works correctly - if I use the w3school's tryit editor with the code after the function declaration up to the closing curly before the objcCP line, with an addeded document.write to show the variable it works fine.
    It's clearly something to do with the way I'm declaring/passing the function or the way Cp runs the javascript. But what?
    Any help greatfully appreciated!
    Thanks

    Hi Jon,
    You are right... it works great on the W3Schools site.  Although in Cp, you ran into quite an issue using the modulus operater (%).  Looks like Cp needs the encoded version of this operator which is (%25).  Also, if you're using Cp4, then when you go to set the caption, you want to use objCP.cpSetValue();  Cp5 uses cpEISetValue.  I also try to use single quotes when working with strings.
    Here's the updated code:
    var objCP = document.Captivate;
    function GenerateCode() {
    var rngen = new Array(8);
    var tgits = new Array(8);
    var cdrtn='';
    var lpdx = 0;
    var mulier=1;
        for (lpdx=0; lpdx<=5; lpdx++){
            rngen[lpdx]=(Math.floor(Math.random()*9)+1);
            mlier=mulier*(rngen[lpdx]);
            tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+'';
            cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    rngen[6]=(mlier %25 17) %25 10;
    rngen[7]=(mlier %25 13) %25 10;
       for (lpdx=6; lpdx<=7; lpdx++){
            tgits[lpdx]=rngen[lpdx]+'';
            cdrtn=cdrtn+tgits[lpdx];
    objCP.cpSetValue('MyJavascriptVariable', cdrtn);
    GenerateCode();
    This looks like some really crazy math.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to find and replace text strings in the shapes in Excel using Windows PowerShell

    Windows PowerShell is a powerful command tool and we can use it for management and operations. In this article we introduce the detailed steps to use Windows PowerShell to find and replace test string in the
    shapes in Excel Object.
    Since the Excel.Application
    is available for representing the entire Microsoft Excel application, we can invoke the relevant Properties and Methods to help us to
    interact with Excel document.
    The figure below is an excel file:
    Figure 1.
    You can use the PowerShell script below to list the text in the shapes and replace the text string to “text”:
    $text = “text1”,”text2”,”text3”,”text3”
    $Excel 
    = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
    $Excel.visible = $true
    $Workbook 
    = $Excel.workbooks.open("d:\shape.xlsx")      
    #Open the excel file
    $Worksheet 
    = $Workbook.Worksheets.Item("shapes")       
    #Open the worksheet named "shapes"
    $shape = $Worksheet.Shapes      
    # Get all the shapes
    $i=0      
    # This number is used to replace the text in sequence as the variable “$text”
    Foreach ($sh in $shape){
    $sh.TextFrame.Characters().text  
    # Get the textbox in the shape
    $sh.TextFrame.Characters().text = 
    $text[$i++]       
    #Change the value of the textbox in the shape one by one
    $WorkBook.Save()              
    #Save workbook in excel
    $WorkBook.Close()             
    #Close workbook in excel
    [void]$excel.quit()           
    #Quit Excel
    Before invoking the methods and properties, we can use the cmdlet “Get-Member” to list the available methods.
    Besides, we can also find the documents about these methods and properties in MSDN:
    Workbook.Worksheets Property (Excel):
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff835542(v=office.15).aspx

  • Using & in a text string

    How can I use & in a text string so that the system doesn't ask for the user to enter a value. eg the string is Joe Blogs & Co. Currently the system asks for the user to enter text.

    An other option is to change your 'define'-character within SQL*Plus:
    SQL> sho define
    define "&" (hex 26)
    SQL> select 'AAA & BBB' from dual
    2 ;
    Enter value for bbb:
    SQL> set define #
    SQL> sho define
    define "#" (hex 23)
    SQL> select 'AAA & BBB' from dual
    2 ;
    'AAA&BBB'

  • Use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it

    I am trying to use REGEXP_INSTR to find a text string with space(s) in it.
    (This is in a Function.)
    Let's say ParmIn_Look_For has a value of 'black dog'. I want to see if

    If ParmIn_Look_For is just 'black' or 'dog' it works fine.

    look for 'black dog' ??

  • Ring Item text string too long to display all - use ellipses ?

    The width of my Ring control is not wide enough to display all characters in the Item text string.  LabVIEW simply truncates the text with no indication that additional text is present.  Is there a way to display an ellipses in such cases ?  For example :
    "Ring text string that is too long"
    that is now shown as :
    "Ring text string that i"
    could be shown as :
    "Ring text st...too long"

    A couple of suggestions:
    1.) Use property nodes to determine which strings are too long, then concatenate the strings with ellipses.
    2.) Increase the height so the text wraps.

  • Using ActionScript to control where a break happens in TLF linked text boxes

    Let's say you want to display a directory of people including name and department person works in. This information is in an xml file and ActionScript is used to read the information in and display the text in TLF text boxes that are linked. Is there a way to use ActionScript to control orphans/widows? Meaning, let's say that the first TLF text box fills up and at the very bottom of that text box another person's name appears. Then at the top of the linked text box the department name that person works in appears. Is there a way to use ActionScript to control it so that the persons name doesn't get separated from the department name? Thanks for any help!!

    Thanks for taking time to answer my post, kglad.
    Yes. I believe I understand. I could create another button
    and call it "Reset Grid" and call this function, however what I am
    hoping for is to have the grid redraw simply by the user entering
    new values for the width and height and then clicking "draw
    floorplan" again.
    Currently the first line of code is:
    my_button.addEventListener("onPress",gridf); Should not the grid
    redraw each time and then parse the new values in the width and
    height fields? I am sure I am just dense but my grid is not
    clearing each time the "draw " button is clicked.
    You can see this happen on the sample link below. After
    entering say 20 width and 20 height values and clicking "draw"
    button, the grid is created perfectly. Then if, say new values of
    10 width and 10 height are entered and "draw" button is clicked,
    the grid does not redraw correctly using these new values.
    Sample link:
    http://216.197.127.249/grid/grid_sample_1.html
    Could the problem be that the gridf function should happen as
    the first function in the script before the new values are parsed
    again? Should a: grid_container.removeMovieClip(); execute before
    anything else is executed each time the "draw" button is clicked?
