Point to add to the script or Grep Style?
Hello
Is it possible to add a hightlight to a script? Basically, what I want to do is highlight the text and the tricky part is that the text changes size depending on the size of the file, we are working on that. I want to highlight automatically the "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" the way that we do now is to underscore that in the menu options underscore: say my font size is 8, leading 9.6 (these will always change).
Weight: = 9.6
Shift: = - 8*.33
Color = yellow
It's the way we do now. Can it be scripted or Grep style which will automatically do this for certain lines of text only? And no matter the font size calculate what he needs to do if its 2pt, 10pt 100 PT etc... It will highlight the text specified correctly?
I hope it's possible...
Thank you
The lower one is best.
I remove a bug and also if not 'what' is provided to the point function culminating and there is no entry in find it which is the find panel of text and text is selected, then this text is highlighted.
An idea in the script is that a shortcut can be applied to it and it will get its information from the Panel of text search.
So for now to change the answer to this one

Hello!
So I build a flash program that will run a dashboard threatened just like the c# file to this Web site (Jeopardy! |) Coding4Fun Articles | Channel 9) because it is more beneficial for me to build it in flash than to pay $80 + for a Phidget. Everything went very well. However, I can't get the string to add commas for the life of me! I tried the NumberFormatter class, but nothing happens. I tried to import it, but it does not work nor receive code building advice. I would say that my AS3 knowledge ahead of a N00B, but not yet the intermediaries. I am only doing this for a hobby.
This code is below. I'm working on the first player and the $200: button, everything here is in what regards to the score of the first player and the +/-functions $200:
var firstPlayerScore:int;
firstPlayerScore = 0
var questionValue:Number = 0;
p1Score.text = "$" + String (firstPlayerScore);
p1200btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, firstNumber);
p1addbtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, addP1);
p1minusbtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, dropP1);
function firstNumber(Event:MouseEvent):void {}
questionValue = 200
}
function addP1(Event:MouseEvent):void {}
firstPlayerScore = firstPlayerScore + questionValue;
p1Score.text = "$" + String (firstPlayerScore);
questionValue = 0
}
function dropP1(Event:MouseEvent):void {}
firstPlayerScore = firstPlayerScore - questionValue;
p1Score.text = "$" + String (firstPlayerScore);
questionValue = 0
}
End of the code
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Given that the two functions of your repeat the same code you can probably create another function for them both to share and that extending further, passing the textfield andf score as arguments that you can share for all players...
function addP1(Event:MouseEvent):void {}
firstPlayerScore = firstPlayerScore + questionValue;
writeScore (p1Score, firstPlayerScore);
}
function dropP1(Event:MouseEvent):void {}
firstPlayerScore = firstPlayerScore - questionValue;
writeScore (p1Score, firstPlayerScore);
}
function writeScore(tField:TextField,_score:int):void {}
var commaScore:String =... add commas here, but you intend to do
tField.text = "$" + commaScore;
questionValue = 0
}
If you want to help the NumberFormatter, you will need to provide some information about it.

GREP style: Find all the letters between
I am trying to create a GREP style to deal with a signature of two lines like this:
-Name of the author,
Source cited
I want the name of the author to be caps/sc and the font that I use has an established expert, so I need to replace only the lowercase characters of the name of the author with the sc. character style
So far, what I did is creat a character style that is defined as the Roman. I then to my grep styles:
The italic style applies to the 2nd line (after a forced line break) very well.
However, I can't do it sc style to apply to my lc between the em dash characters and the comma. I can get the sc to be applied to the whole line, if I use '. ' for any character, but "\l" does nothing for me...
Someone at - it advice?
Thank you
Chris
Thanks for the help. You led me in the right direction.
I was doing too complicated and I still don't have a firm grasp on what GREP may or may not do.
I solved the problem with GREP styles:
The reason that I can't apply sc for the first line is because the font I'm using is old and includes a set of expert. In police expertise, there are only small capitals. Strikes in uppercase are reserved for the factions, currency symbols and other glyphs not standards.
Best,

How to add channels to a channel table in the display panel in the script
Hi all
We try to put in place a review tool video using DIAdem, and we want to fill the results which have already been analysed in a Panel. This means populating a channel table in this Panel with the necessary data, but we cannot find a way to add strings to a table in the script. It seems that it should be very simple, but we can not find!
Thank you
Peter
Hi Peter,.
Yes, it's simple. You prepare your VIEW with the channel table layout and use the add on the columns collection method.
The command might look like this:
VIEW. Sheets (1). Areas (1). DisplayObj.Columns.Add("myGroup/myChannel")

Add/change the columns of data type (scripting)
Hello
I am writing a script to add default columns and their values in tables. So far, for me, it is possible to add columns to an existing table in the model.
Then, I want to add value to the data type. I discovered there is a method called getDataType(). So far, I have not found the "setter; for this property.
Like other scripts, I started by creating a table with columns, and then using the API to read the values.
A simplified version of my code:
get the columns of table
myTab var = model.getTableSet () .getByName ("T_POSITIONS");
colArray = myTab.getElementsCollection () .toArray ();
loop through columns
for (i = 0; i < colArray.length; i ++) {}
the type of var data = colArray [i] .getDataType ();
model.getAppView () .log (colArray [i] + "a datatype" + dataType);
colArray [i] .setDataType ("VARCHAR2 (1)");
}
An error occurs when I want to run this script: could not find setDataType function in the object ID.
I can't find the right method to add/change the datatype property.
Any information would be appreciated.

Create the Script to add a file in an Action name
I have a picture, and I have a practical action that records, it cultures, he saves, cultures it differently and recorded once more. Currently, I have two options for these stops - I can save each crop in a separate folder and batch rename, or I have the break from the action he saves so I can customize the file name. What I would do is create a script (or, if there is an easier way), add this file name if it will save all simply in the same folder that I have to do it manually.Basically, I start with the name of the file: 'TEST '.
for the first part, it I save as 'TEST '.
for the second record, I want to save it as "TEST_P1".
for the third record, I want to save it as "TEST_P2".
I am brand new to scripting, and is my programming experience with Java and medium in my past, everything feels a little familiar. If someone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it!
Another option is to use the Image Processor Pro script. You must create several actions to different cultures, you want to make to the original document size not a crop of harvest of a crop until the final harvest. Don't have any records in these actions. Then just use meny file > Automate > Image Processor Pro. Implement its dialog box to save the file names you want where you want to save them create. You can also save that in action. The image pro script processor is a Photoshop plug-in. In the dialog box, it will record the setting you used in the action stage. Alternatively, you can save the configuration dialog for later use in the IPP dialog before running the process put in place.
You can store as many files as you need with IPP and run your actions simple cultures for each size of harvest. IPP opens you simply file a copy to each of your operations and after the action is performed to save the modified copy of doctment under the name of file you set up. You can configure as many tabs as you want you can even have you resized using IPP option re-size crops. If the script is easy to use his 10 + lines of script Photoshop...

Add/Remove the same exact point from a drop down list
Hello!
I need power remove/hide and/add/view THE SAME POINT, or that it doesn't look like the same question, please see the example of what I m doing:
When you open the document:
If you click 'Yes' to the first radio 4 value is added
If you click 'Yes' in the second radio, value 5 is added
If you click 'no' on the first radio, you remove the value 4 BECAUSE you remove the element #3
If you click on 'no' on the second radio, you delete nothing 4 BECAUSE you try to delete the point #4
And then you get this weird combination
This is the code on the first Radio
form1.#subform[0].value_4::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
DropDownList1.addItem("value 4");
}else {
DropDownList1.deleteItem(3);
}This is the code on the second radio
form1.#subform[0].value_5::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
DropDownList1.addItem("value 5");
}else {
DropDownList1.deleteItem(4);
}Anyone know how to remove a specific item of a dropdrown? or may not remove, hide only if this is possible... I tried to change specific values for Add/Remove always from the same point, but it did not work.
Thank you!
Ago, I find it odd that there is no native method xfa for the index of an item in the menu drop-down. Not documented at least (as I know).
What you can do however, is create your own method!
Here, in the initialize event of your highest subform you create a method that exends class object (which includes all XFA objects too), like native JavaScript:
//@para String value of the item in the drop down //@return Boolean - true if item was deleted, false if not and null object if not found in the list Object.prototype.deleteItemValue=function(sVal){ for (var a=0;a
You can remove any item from your drop by modying your code:
if (this.rawValue == "1") { DropDownList1.addItem("value 4"); } else { DropDownList1.deleteItemValue("value 4"); }

Functions in the script being not recognized after objects as some point
Hi all
I wonder if someone has understood why after normally 300 to 500 lines of JavaScript in a Script object, sometimes functions to the end are no longer recognized by the XFA processor when they are referenced ("' TypeError: Scripts.myFunction is not a function" ").
When re-sort, further to the top of the script object, they work as expected. The line on which it no longer recognizes functions also is not always the same and I worked with some script objects with more than 800 lines with all functions still work.
I tested Designer 9 and 10, Reader 8 9 and 10.
At least let me know that I'm not the only one. I knew another developer who had encountered the same problem.
Kyle
I've never had a problem with big scripts, even with 1000 or more lines.
Did you test your scripts JSLint?

How do I calculate that in the script? I have 3 domains. A field is a constant date mm/dd/yy. The second field is a digital number (1-120) and can be changed. The third field calculates two fields 1 and 2 in the summation and shown in mm/dd/yy.
You searched for ' add days?
You must write a custom for this JavaScript calculation because you cannot add a number any date. Also the date strings are not just a number, even if we can convert a given date in a number for that date that represents the time form a date date (Epoch). Witn this value, we can achieve them all kinds of date calculations and collect a little information about the date. JavaScirpt uses midnight on January 1, 1970 UTC for starting point or the date of the time. Its value is zero, and every millisecond increases the value of 1. When a date string is converted to the date object JavaScirpt we have access to many properties of the date and can use several methods to extract information or adjust the date object.
Field 1 is in the format "Date" with a format of "mm/dd/yy".
Field 2 is in «Number» format with 0 decimal.
Zone 3 is in the format 'None '. The custom calculation script applies to the formatting.
The custom for JavaScript calculation area 3:
var cField1 = this.getField("Field_1").valueAsString;
var cField2 = this.getField("Field_2").valueAsString;
Event.Value = "";
If (cField1! = "" & cField2!) = "") {}
Console.println (cField1 + "" + cField2);
calculate that if we as no null data;
var cDateFormat = "mm/dd/yy";
convert start date date object.
Kai var = util.scand (cDateFormat, cField1);
get the date of the month;
David var = oDate.getDate ();
Add field 2 number of days;
David = Number (nDate) + Number (cField2);
of being updated for the new date.
oDate.setDate (nDate);
Set the field to update formatting;
Event.Value = util.printd (cDateFormat, letter);
