Switch box does not recognize strings

I'm not going to encompass all of my code because it's something I've been working on people, but essentially, I have a dropdown list where the user can select the position of the text that is created later in the code. Basically, I'm having a problem with the switch statement. I made sure that the dropdowntwo of the var was equal to some string dropdown they select using the alert in the positioning of the function. (ie. If they choose "Lower left" in the drop-down list the variable dropdowntwo = "Bottom Left") For some reason any the switch statement always goes to the default value. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

var thisComp = app.project.item(1);
var midLayer = thisComp.layers[2];

// code later on
var mainWindow = new Window("palette", "INSERT PROGRAM NAME", undefined);
mainWindow.orientation = "row";

var groupOne = mainWindow.add("group", undefined, "GroupOne");
groupOne.orientation = "column";

var dropdowntwo = panelOne.add("dropdownlist", undefined, ["Bottom Left", "Lower Left", "Bottom Right", "Lower Right"]);
dropdowntwo.selection = 1;


function positioning(text, comp) {
    var dropSelection = dropdowntwo.selection;
    alert(dropSelection);
switch(dropSelection){
    
    case "Bottom Left":
        bottomLeftText(text, comp);
        break;
    case "Lower Left":
        lowerLeftText(text, comp);
        break;
    case "Bottom Right":
        bottomRightText(text, comp);
        break;
    case "Lower Right":
        lowerRightText(text, comp);
        break;
     default:
         lowerRightText(text, comp);
        break;
    
}
}
  

I have not tested this, but try to change this:

var dropSelection = dropdowntwo.selection;

to do this:

var dropSelection = dropdowntwo.selection.text;

  • Import dialog box does not recognize that some photos were imported.

    If I import photos on a map, then eject it and put it later to import the rest, Lightroom does not recognize that some of these photos have been imported - it displays all of the available import photos, although I hear selected Photos.  When I import, I choose to make a second copy, rename the files, and copy as DNG, as well as the file is stored with a different name and an extension of that which exists on the map (as a second copy with original naming is kept), but previously did not prevent Lightroom to recognize that a picture had already been imported.  I think the problem started a month ago, but I can't identify any event related to this work more (post hoc ergo da hoc).  Advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    JK

    My fault!  LR doesn't have any problem recognizing duplicates, even if you rename the photos.  I had unchecked somehow don't Import suspected duplicates.  Without this checked, the news pictures option is kind of meaningless.

  • Why my switch SLM2008 does not recognize my Cisco-AP1262-n-a-k9 devices?

    Hello

    Both the switch SLM2008 and AP1262n-a-k9 are currently to the factory default.

    I can web in the switch of my laptop, but when I connect to one of the 4 AP I'm trying to set up, the switch is not see it.

    Any help would be greatly appeciated.

    Thank you

    Armand

    Hi Armand,

    AP is the level of the company and the switch is actually small businesses.  Normally, you do not mix two levels.  But...

    To clarify what I referred to above, this switch is 10/100/1000 Mbit / s, full duplex, auto-negotiation.  The port settings can be changed manually.  Therefore, I suggest to connect to the switch and AP and check the ports on both of them are adapting in configuration.  If you have 1000 Mbps on the switch then make sure it matches the access point, if autonegotiation enable on one, then make sure that it is enabled on the other as well.  Also, you can try disabling auto-negotiation on the two of them to see if that helps.  Ensure that if a full duplex, then the other is also.   Basically, if the settings do not match, then they will negotiate a link between them and that seems to be what is happening.

    Hopefully it is a little clearer.

    Recently, I wanted to update my old notebook, Portege 7220 with a 256 MB Stick of Kingston Ram. According to their website, it should work, but the machine does not recognize the memory at all. (just using internal 64 MB).

    I can't upgrade the Bios either, because when I press F12 when the computer starts, it cannot read the floppy drive in the docking station. Do I need a USB floppy drive for that? I tried with a usb key, but it does not work. is there a possibility to redo an update of windows? (Comp running Windows 2000)

    Thanks for your help, much apprechiated.

    Only the TRAD of the BIOS version exists for this Portege.
    This means that you will not be able to update the Windows operating system running, but you will need an external floppy drive to perform these updates.

  • Computer does not recognize that this printer is connected

    Hi - We have a new laptop and it does not recognize the old printer.  So, I'm trying to download the driver for it.  However, when I try to download it, it says "Waiting for the user to connect the printer", but the printer is already connected via a USB cable.

    I tried an another USB cable to ensure that it was not that.  I also made sure the printer is on and print a sample page.  What should I do now?

    Hello!

    I'm a little confused abouut your problem. you try to RUN the software and complete functionality to your direct printer from the Hp Web site? If so, Hp does not recommend this process.

    Better to save full feature software and driver first before installing because by clicking RUN directly connected to the internet, you will have a problem to install - some will get instaalation error-corrupted files.

    Pls. click the download button and save it to your desktop.

    Also, before you install it, also try a different USB port on the computer, disable any third-party software on your computer like antivirus, firewalls and spyware because it could block some of the drivers for your printer specifically for scanning. Re-enale the protection again after installation.

    If still not detected, you can try inserting a USB stick to the USB port on your computer. If it works, doesn't mean no problem with the USB PORT.

    TRY THIS ONE, if you are using windows, go to device manager look for the USB if you have a yellow caution icon trhat brand-right click and select put updated driver or select Properties, and then click Properties window simply select Update driver - let windows search the driver online.

    Then try to reinstall, if not solved try this one:

    1. Click Start and then click run . The run dialog box opens.

    Hello

    The Windows 7 RC Device Manager does not recognize my wireless network adapter (for example: Atheros, Intel or Realtek). I tried to install all the Toshiba support drivers, but none of them work:

    After installation, they ask me to connect the unit to my computer (of course it is still on the motherboard!).

    =>, Is there a way to know what is my Wifi adapter?

    that one failed: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7201PO000SR01.htm (this is the only Word to say "network adapter" with a yellow exclamation point).

    -Online someone knows when will be released Windows 7 drivers on the website?

    Hello

    Before you begin to install all drivers WLAN you can find on the Toshiba site you must make sure that wireless network card, you have exactly. You can check in the Device Manager-online properties-online Details of the local network adapter device.
    Need you an information like PCI\VEN_XXXX & DEV_XXXX

    If you have based this information you are looking for with these terms on this site in order to determine the exact WLAN card:
    http://www.PCIDatabase.com/

    After that, you can download the driver appropriate for your laptop. Before installing, you must uninstall all other versions and restart the laptop.
    Also, make sure that the WIFI is enabled with the hardware switch and FN + F8.

    I'm having a problem with a PSAA5A-01H00T A100 running Win XP sp2.
    Windows does not recognize an ethernet controller, so the wireless NETWORK card does not work, even if the wired connection is.
    I tried to install the latest WLAN drivers on the support site (two of them), does not. Windows insists that the correct drivers are not installed.

    I suspect a hardware problem and I have the user on an external wireless NETWORK card, but I would appreciate any idea that you guys can provide.

    Thank you.

    Hi mate

    What Ethernet controller is not recognized? WLan or LAN?
    You have a few unknown devices in Device Manager?
    If so, then a critical driver is missing, and so the controller is not recognized correctly.
