Dynamic adjustment of text

InDesign CS 5 - Windows

I'm looking for suggestions for a solution.

I have this format which includes one or two lines of text that appear inside parentheses (spelling) as shown.  The media will always be the same size and should 'develop' to fit the text between them. (I know the example shows the media of the same distance apart in the two examples, but they should be ab)

bracket.png

For a single line, I placed the spelling inline with the text.  So when the text is changed, the media will expand if necessary.  It works very well

For both lines, text should be smaller, but the media remain the same size as the single line of text.  Looking for an easy way to change the text in this case, so that it works similarly to the single line of text.  Change the text will allow carriers to expand as needed.

Hi Obi - wan,

I'm not sure about setup of Karl of text blocks. Maybe he uses his sample not with a paragraph that flows with a larger story.

Even if this is the case, would ' t it be easier to use objects anchored to the brackets and a single "Center" for the text? The concept that is behind the blog post from Diane Burns.

If the brackets and the text can be used on a page and only circulates not with a story, I'd go maybe for:

Plan b: work with 3 text frames.

* (CS6 and above)

Image 1 and 2 will hold the brackets. Could be the text (glyphs, you can find in your policy), Moor images or graphics. which won't matter.

Frame 3 is our text frame, which contains the main text and has some peculiarities:

a. text wrapping

b. automatic width (optional, but useful if applied) *.

Position the right edge of the frame 1 on the horizontal center of the frame 3.

Place the left edge of the frame 2 of the horizontal center of the frame 3.

Make sure that the width of the width of the frame 1 and 2 with the addition is the maximum you would for parentheses surrounding your text.

It is more difficult to explain than to show.
Download an IDML file from my Dropbox account, where I show this:

Dropbox - BracketsAroundTextFrame - FLEXIBLE .idml

And watch a movie where I work with 3 text blocks (also on my Dropbox account):

Dropbox - BracketsAroundTextFrame - FLEXIBLE .mov

Here some screenshots of my InDesign CS6 German that reveal a little of this:

1. two text blocks holding the brackets, the plot of a text for the main text:

2. no text frame between two text blocks holding the brackets:

3. slide another block of text with wrapping will be part two tranches:

Kind regards
Uwe

    Flash can read data from several sources (XML files, text files, on the web, on-site, etc.) and you can use these data to populate your address dynamically. He can do the same thing with the pictures and any other active flash can use (images, video, etc).

  • Dynamic adjustment of the height of the text element

    Hi all

    I'm trying to view content of the letter to a text element. If the content is up to 5 lines
    the height of the text element is just to include content only.

    In other words, the height of the text element must expand and shrink based on the content.

    It is possible that way?


    Thank you

    Hello

    You can do it. Try

    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('', POSITION, GET_ITEM_PROPERTY('letter', X_POS), TO_NUMBER(GET_ITEM_PROPERTY('letter', Y_POS)) + TO_NUMBER(GET_ITEM_PROPERTY('letter', HEIGHT)));

  • Dynamically change the text during the narration

    Hello!

    I have a file that contains the narration. The contents appear gradually on the stage reading of the narrative.

    On the first image, I have added a dynamic textfield, I called: soustitrage_txt (would be "caption_txt" in English).

    On another layer, on the same frame, I added this code:

    soustitrage_txt.html = true;
    soustitrage_txt. AutoSize = 'left ';
    soustitrage_txt. Selectable = true;
    soustitrage_txt. Multiline = true;
    soustitrage_txt.WordWrap = true;

    var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    txtFormat.size = 20;
    txtFormat.font = "Arial";

    txtFormat.bold = true;

    I exaggerated the value, to make sure it really does not work...


    _Global.mydata = new LoadVars();
    _Global.mydata.load ("P1.txt");

    _Global.mydata.onload = function() {}
    soustitrage_txt.setTextFormat (txtFormat);
    };

    I need to show the first sentence around the 115 frame, in which I entered this code on my "action layer":

    soustitrage_txt. Text = _global.myData.phrase1;

    A positive point, the text is displayed (yay!), but the negative is that the formatting does not work...

    Finally, when I want to move to the next sentence, around the frame 195, I get the same code (with only a variable to call another name):

    soustitrage_txt. Text = _global.myData.phrase2;

    And now it shows me "undefined"... :/

    Here is an overview of my external text file (I translated it... since it is in French normally):

    phrase1 =Hello and welcome on this guide that will show you how to adjust your workstation step by step. &
    statement2 issetting your workstation correctly will prevent you from having any discomfort as a result of a bad posture or a bad setting. &

    phrase3 =... &

    (and so on...)

    Thank you very much!

    Geneviève

    If you place these signs at the end, followed by a carriage return as you seem to be by what you posted, don't do it. Keep them adjacent to the variables that they define.

    phrase1 = Hello and welcome on this guide that will show you how to set your workstation step by step.

  • It is possible to create a template with automatic adjustment of text/layout boxes?

    I am trying to create a template with an image under the banner from the top, an image under the banner of the bottom, and some copy between that.

    The header and footer banners have a border (approx. Gray 10px 2px white then black of 10px).

    I want to create a model so that a user can fill with a copy, but this field automatically expand as needed.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thank you!

    Hi Ying,

    You can do this natively in Eloqua. Unfortunately the height and width of an Eloqua email are static (as opposed to the expansion and contraction as needed).

    You could build the html (using tables instead of div tags) to outside email then Eloqua email create a text box, right-click on it and choose "Edit source" and paste your code there. This would be the setting for the users. But note that after the update of the copy, they would still have to adjust the height of the email.

    I can help with the code, if you need.

  • Text dynamic and changing text in AS3

    I have a dynamic text box in my library.  I drag my main stage and give it a name... It's now a movieclip. The name is "mcAdmin".  I added a MOUSE_OVER event listener.  I want to change it the color of the text, but for now I just try to change the text; However, it does not display the change in the text that I want.  I do track and change is here on the output window, but it is not displayed as such.  How do I:

    (1) use AS3 to change the color of the font of the text

    (2) use AS3 to change the text and have it display?

    function onMouseOver_txtAdmin(e:MouseEvent):void
    {
    Mouse.Cursor = "Button";

    Current mcAdmin text is 'Administration '.

    I want to change the color of the Administartion on Mouse_Over

    but to see if I can come up with something, I just try to change the text.


    mcAdmin.text = "Hello";
    trace (mcAdmin.Text);


    mcPPMB.alpha =. 5;
    mcASB.alpha =. 5;
    mcISO.alpha =. 5;
    mcEA.alpha =. 5;
    mcAdmin.alpha = 1;

    mcAdmin.scaleX = 1.25;
    mcAdmin.scaleY = 1.25;
    }

    Thank you.

    Type a name for the textfield object if it isn't already (sounds like you put it into a movieclip).

    to change the text, set the text property of your text field

    Like this

    myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text."

    or if she is inside a movieclip

    myClip_mc.myTextField_txt.text = "here is the text."

    To change the color, you need a TextFormat on it. To keep the same fontsize, police etc, you could first get the TextFormat of your existing Textfield, change the color of the TextFormat and place it on the TextField object.

    get the Textformat of the first character

    var TF:TextFormat = myTextField.getTextFormat (0.1)

    Set font color
    TF.color = 0xff0000;

    on the set of the text
    myTextField.setTextFormat (TF)

  • Info of County of dynamic character as text box is resized

    Not knowing Javascript, does anyone think this is scriptable?

    When you click on it inside a text box, the information panel tells you the number of characters is in sight in this text box and how is excess... is not however display that info if you resize a text box by dragging one of the handles... don't you think that there may be a way to do or to have nested info panel that displays how many character are within the area of text and how many are in excess and it dynamically changes the reading as the user resizes the text box.

  • Dynamic display of text in a textfield

    Hello

    I want to display text in a textfield that creates dynamically. This textField is also to create inside a movicelip that is created dynamically. I used the following code. His does not work.

    var mainMc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip ("OfficeTM", 1000);

    mainMc.createTextField("my_txt",1,100,100,300,100);
    my_txt. Text = "This is my first test field object text.";

    But when I used the following code, the text is displayed.

    _root.createTextField("my_txt",1,100,100,300,100);
    my_txt. Text = "This is my first test field object text.";

    In fact, I would like to know if it is possible to put up with the code which I have explained first.

    You're very close with the original code.

    Change the line .text to:

    mainMC.my_txt.text = "This is my first test field object text.";

    Essentially, when you create an object within another object, you must point to it through its parent container (since the root level does not know where it is).  Then you say "add this text to the textfield"my_txt"inside the"OfficeTM.

    Also, you don't need to send me separately, the forums allow you to follow people publications and send an email whenever you post.

  • Dynamically adjust the size of table control panel

    Hello

    I have a combo box control that I drag within a table.

    Since my request depends on the size of the initialized array, I'm having a problem with the car, adjust the number of items to display on the control panel.

    Say for example, I wanted to have 4 zones of drop-down list on my table, I drag the table to show the 4 combo boxes.

    The problem is that if I wanted to change this moment of execution at 2 or 6 elements, it still shows 4 items in the control.

    Is there a way to adjust based on the number of items?
