Text field variable in root cannot reside in a clip?

I have a movie clip ("mod_control") that resides within other clips that determines the name of its parent and adds a number to a corresponding text field when they appear on stage (example: "Widget_1_count", "Widget_2_count", etc...)

Using this code in the clip works very well:

get the parent's name, example: "Widget_1."

var this_part =. parent.name of the object (this);

get the current value in the corresponding text field, example: "Widget_1_count."

var c_this_part:Number = number (Object(root[this_part_+_"_count"]).text);

Add 1 to the current value of the text field

var v_this_part:Number = Number (c_this_part + 1);

update the text field with the new value

Object (root [this_part + "_count"]). Text = String (v_this_part)

Finally, I have dozens of the text fields (for dozens of parts) so I now contain all in a movieclip with instance name 'part_count'.

So I added part_count in the target path:

var this_part =. parent.name of the object (this);

var c_this_part:Number = number (Object(root__.part_count__[this_part_+_"_count"]).text);

var v_this_part:Number = Number (c_this_part + 1);

Object (root.part_count[this_part + "_count"]). Text = String (v_this_part)

.. .but that produced this error:

"Mod_control" symbol, lie "beneath", frame 1, line 201119: access of property may be undefined part_count through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

and then I tried this:

var this_part =. parent.name of the object (this);

var c_this_part:Number = number (Object (root [. part_count this_part + "_count"]) .text);

var v_this_part:Number = Number (c_this_part + 1);

Object (root [. part_count this_part + "_count"]) .text = String (v_this_part)

.. .but that produced this error:

"Mod_control" symbol, lie "beneath", frame 1, line 201120: access of undefined property part_count.

As is often the case, I can remember an obvious shade of syntax..., could this be the situation here, or this action is simply impossible in flash?

I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and experience here and I thank you in advance for giving my question thought.

Thanks for the info, I used your suggestion:

var this_part =. parent.name of the object (this);

var c_this_part:Number = number (.text MovieClip (MovieClip (root) .part_count [this_part + "_count"]));

var v_this_part:Number = Number (c_this_part + 1);

MovieClip (MovieClip (root) .part_count [this_part + "_count"]) .text = String (v_this_part)

And the film compiled correctly, but when I added an object on the stage (which triggers the code above) I got this error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@79cb351 to flash.display.MovieClip.

at::mod_control_49/frame1() [IF_Config_38_fla.mod_control_49::frame1:27] IF_Config_38_fla

What really made the tour, was casting the clips as objects:

var this_part =. parent.name of the object (this);

var c_this_part:Number = number (.text Object (object (root) .part_count [this_part + "_count"]));

var v_this_part:Number = Number (c_this_part + 1);

Object (object (root) .part_count [this_part + "_count"]) .text = String (v_this_part)

Worked a treat!

Incredibly confusing, I would like to know why it worked, but it does.

Thanks again!

  • text field variable display in AS3?

    Hi, in a simple AS2 .fla there is a "message_number" labeled text field that will display the variable "numero_de_message".  Very simple.

    How to make a text field in AS3 to display this variable?

    Thank you

    Yes, AS2 makes it a little easier to use textfields as variables, but they could painful as well.

    You have not a variable share the textfield instance name in your code, and you should not.  This would cause a conflict of namespace.  You can create a separate variable of the textfield that you use to manipulate the value of, but may not have the same name.

    Work of TextFields with chains, non-numeric values, so when you read or assign values, you may need to convert numbers or strings as appropriate.  I have marked your code such that it should work well using the textfield object only.

    In addition, assuming that you are not trying to create separate class files, you need not import everything you have lined up at the beginning.  Flash will be automatically takes in charge of the acquisition of those in particular, although there are others that you do not want to import.

  • Alpha ignored by the Flash CS3 text field value

    It is a problem, I noticed in Flash CS3. I checked livedocs and noted in Flash8 too:
    Comment by rainair:
    leader = 00002437.html & http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveD ocs_Parts

    So, I have a clip in which I put a text field. I've done the transparent clip (setting alpha to 0) and everything is OK (the pliers and the deposited text are not visible) while I'm still working with the timeline and stage. When I test or publish the movie the text field is always visible. I have a Flash Player 9,0,115,0 installed on my computer.
    I did some tests and found that:
    If the text field is static text, it WORKS. Text field has the same alpha value as the clip that holds it.
    If the text field is a dynamic text it does not. Submitted text is visible.
    If the deposited text is entered and there is NO character to incorporate, the text field IS visible (it looks like the alpha value is 100).
    If the text field is the input text and incorporate characters, the deposited text IS NOT (as expected) visible.
    It's strange. I'd say it's a bug.

    BTW, it seems that you can add comments to Flash 8 livedocs (after clicking on the add comment button, you are redirected to a log in page and you can submit a comment), but when I went to Flash CS3 livedocs you can't. There is a message 'comments are no longer accepted for Flash CS3. Flash CS4 is the current version. To discuss Flash CS3, please use the Adobe forum. ». This nonsense!

    Wow, you don't need to go through this whole process just to embed fonts in a dynamic text field that is already on scene. Click the field in your text on the stage, click the character of dipping and embed the characters you need. Fact.

  • How can I change the contents of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

    Hi all!

    First time poster and getting quite frustrated trying to understand this issue. Here's the scenario: I use Acrobat Pro 10 to create what is essentially a form of giant order. I have designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and other whatnot and then it exported to Acrobat to continue the construction of the form.

    I have a radio button group called 'conference_opportunities' that contains different options at different prices, so they are all the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).

    What I've done is created a 'MouseDown' event on the button that sets a variable called 'ConferenceOpportunity', which is equivalent to the title of the option they pick. Then, I want to take this variable and display in a text box called "Conference_Option". I use a variable because my radio buttons values are actual prices of the option they pick, so I can't set the value as the title of the option.

    If its an array of boxes and option at the bottom of the page, there is the Option that they selected, the quantity (which can change) and value (in dollars)

    I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a kind of summary of what they have chosen to buy as well, but I guess it's the same code.

    I'm not an expert at all Javascript, so code snippets would help greatly. I looked on the Document from Adobe on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I also turned to the Almighty google and still no luck.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you all

    Right now, you have to do is use this variable to the value property of your text field... Then add this at the end of your code:

    this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;

    Also, I would use not MouseDown, MouseUp.

  • How to create a group/list of the variables in the box for display in the text field, in the format in annex

    I need to identify a series of variables single-response checkbox and display links selected (as a group) in a text field in an annex (comma, space) format. Last week, you provided a small script for a similar requirement by using the list box (multiple response) variables. This time, I need to know how to identify the variables of the box officially and, presumably, use a similar script to display the results in a comma, space format.

    You've been a great help.

    Thank you

    Here's the script for this situation. It assumes there are ten boxes named cb1, cb1, cb2,... cb10.

    // Custom Calculate script for text field
    (function () {
    
        // Initialize the string
        var v, s = "";
    
        // Loop through the check boxes to build up a string
        for (var i = 1; i < 11; i++) {
    
            // Get the value of the current check box
            v = getField("cb" + i).value;
    
            if (v !== "Off") {
                if (s) s += ", ";  // Add a comma and a space if needed
                s += v;  // Add the selected value
            }
        }
    
        // Set this field value to the string
        event.value = s;
    
    })();
    

    You will have to change the name of the field and start/end numbers to match your form.

  • Several Variables in a text box or text field


    Is there a way to set different variables in a text area so that spacing between the line will be compatible?


    Or do I need to break the text box in separate text fields?

    (I searched the forum but have not found an answer.)

    It's really very simple. I wonder if there is a way to have more than one variable in a textframe?

    What do you mean by "variable"? Has Illustrator to an entire function defined in the user interface, called Variables. There are a range of Variables. If that's what you're talking about, then no, you can't bind multiple variables in a single text object. The so-called Variables data-driven are related to the object level.

    If you're talking about the generic term of 'variable' in the sense of a script language, then Yes, of course you can replace text different ranges within a single textFrame with the values of several variables - as long as the values of the variables in question are text. Or, you can use the text of text ranges in one or more frames of related as the values of several variables.

    Or should I abandon this script and write my own?

    Yet once, nothing more than a description very vague and General what exactly you're trying to do. So, Yes, given that the purpose of this script is to simply concatenate the contents of several frames of text bound in one alone, and it is quite complex, my guess would be that you need to write your own.

    Basically, if I have a list of addresses and hours of operation in a dataset. Currently, they are divided into separate, linked text frames.

    Again, you use a term (dataset) which implies that you do refers to the function of Variables in Illustrator. If you speak only attach the text of several frames of separate linked text in Illustrator into one, you can do this in the user interface without any manuscript at all: just copy multiple text objects, download the text and create a new text object and paste tool.

    If you need space, paragraph returns, or some other delimiter inserted at the beginning or end of objects separated prior to joining them through the normal in the user interface, you can take a look at the description of the scripts here named JET_ConcatenateTextAtEnd and JET_ConcatenateTextAtStart.

    I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I can't be able to bulk modify the properties of the text field...

    When you select 1 cell, I get the following tabs:

    But when I select more than one cell I get the following tabs:

    General | Appearance | Options | Actions

    I'm trying to modify all cells to convert the 'Number' format, but I just can not understand as the option disappears from bulk.

    What do I have to use Javascript? Surely it shouldn't be this hard... If Microsoft Excel can do!

    Thank you

    In fact, this is not true. You can set some parameters like that, but not things like Format settings, Validation or calculations. The only way to do it in Acrobat for several fields is by using a script.

  • cannot change the text field after grouping

    Hi people,

    I have 3 single-line text fields and a logo combined using 'Add parents '.  For some odd reason, I can't select a field to edit text.  I can select them in the assets Panel and change the layout or style, but as soon as I double-click to edit the text, my selection goes to the div parent instead of the text field.  I tried to use the text as well, but it always happening in selection to the parent.  This isn't a big deal since I can change the text later in a Publisher, but it's a little frustrating.

    FWIW, I ran the update of this morning before starting, but I doubt that caused this nothing thanks for any help

    -Kevin

    So sorry Chris, in my frustration, I removed the parent and the group so I can get the item that I wanted to edit, and then recreated the parent.

    However, your description of the differences between the Group and Add Parent in this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1361983?tstart=0 probably explains why I have problems.  I think I had GROUPED fields 3 text and then wrapped in this group and the image of the logo in another div with 'Add parents '.  I have probably not been not clicking successfully through the parent company to the group, and then in the text field.  In fact, I was clicking like mad, but probably not on the correct spot for each level.

    Thank you to specify how these elements work.

  • Cannot get 'IN' text field with multiple values.

    I have a text field (P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS) someone would use to enter multiple values (i.e. of the serial numbers). I tested various methods but can't seem to get anything working. I used values such as ' 12929', '19191' or ('11919', ' 19192 ', ' 1111') or 12121,121333.»

    I have to analyze this area after the entrance is and update P11_SERIAL_NUMBER to something like ("121212 ', 121211', '292929'). The report is a SQL query returning the body of a PL/SQL function. I build the query in an anonymous block to something like the following:

    SELECT apex_item.checkbox (1, instance_number) Ins,.
    apex_item. Text(2,i.instance_number) instance_number.
    apex_item. Text(3,i.item_number) item_number.
    description of the apex_item. Text(4,i.Description),
    Serial_number apex_item. Text(5,i.serial_number),
    i.party_name,
    i.status_name
    Cycsi_item_details_v I have
    WHERE i.item_number IN (SELECT v.item_number FROM cycsi_installed_base_v WHERE v.serial_number = i.serial_number v)
    AND i.item_number AS NVL ('%' |') XLA' | ' %','%')
    AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT d.item_serial_number FROM cy_fco_d, d WHERE d.fco_id = 2803 AND d.item_serial_number = i.serial_number) AND i.serial_number IN ('61763 ', ' 61621');

    However, when I enter several values that nothing ever went back to the SUMMIT even though the SQL query returns more rows. I run the application in debug mode and it seems to show the values correctly.

    0.11: show report
    0.12: determine the column headings
    0.12: analyze the query such as: TRAFFIC

    Published by: Jennifer on July 13, 2010 15:23

    Hi John,.

    I just tried a report region based on PL/SQL query encoded using your method to refer to element names in the query string of back:

    declare
       q varchar2(100) := 'select ename, job from emp';
    begin
       if :P2_ENAMES is not null then
            q := q || ' where ename in :P2_ENAMES';
       end if;
    
       wwv_flow.debug('*** Query: ' || q);
    
       return q;
    end;
    

    As I suspected, he did not work for me P2_ENAMES was ('KING') or ('KING', 'SMITH'). I think it's because of the reason for which I gave in my previous post - ApEx passes off the coast of the dynamic execution of SQL string, it does not automatically replace the mention: P2_ENAMES with the value of the element. I don't know how it can work for you.

    If I change the code I proposed:

    declare
       q varchar2(100) := 'select ename, job from emp';
    begin
       if :P2_ENAMES is not null then
            q := q || ' where ename in ' || :P2_ENAMES;
       end if;
    
       wwv_flow.debug('*** Query: ' || q);
    
       return q;
    end;
    

    It works very well if one or several names are specified.

    I took a blow to modify your code for the construction of the query string - does not immediately guarantee, it'll work because I can't test (might be missing a parenthesis or quotation) it but you should get the idea:

    -- start with initial valid query that ApEx can parse to determine column names
    q := 'SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1, instance_number) ins, apex_item.text(2, i.instance_number) instance_number,
                 apex_item.text(3, i.item_number) item_number, apex_item.text(4, i.description) description,
                 apex_item.text(5, i.serial_number) serial_number, i.party_name, i.status_name
            FROM cycsi_item_details_v i
           WHERE i.item_number IN (SELECT v.item_number
                                     FROM cycsi_installed_base_v v
                                    WHERE v.serial_number = i.serial_number)';
    
    -- add model number condition if specified
    if :P11_MODEL_NUMBER is not null then
       q := q || ' AND i.item_number LIKE ''%' || :P11_MODEL_NUMBER || '''%''';
    end if;
    
    -- add serial numbers condition if specified
    if :P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS is not null then
       q := q || ' AND i.serial_number IN (' || :P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS || ')';
    end if;
    
    -- add FCO id condition if specified
    if :P5_FCO_ID is not null then
       q := q || ' AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT d.item_serial_number
                                     FROM cy_fco_d d
                                    WHERE d.fco_id = ' || :P5_FCO_ID || '
                                      AND d.item_serial_number = i.serial_number)';
    

    I know that has focused on getting this code works, but I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't at least mention the risk of SQL injection. You may already know this, but unless you do a good job to validate the values of the element used in the query, you could open yourself up to a SQL injection attack. For example, imagine what that would be returned if a hacker sharp entered "12345) GOLD (1 = 1" in the field of P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS - you would get all that may or may not be a security problem.

    Hope this helps,
    John

  • Subtraction of text field

    I have 3 text fields in a pdf document and I named each Adjustments_1, the Adjustments_2 and the Adjustments_3. I want equal to Adjustments_1 - Adjustments_2 Adjustments_3 and if this difference is less than 0, Adjustments_3 is equal to '0' and to have this difference displayed on text fields. I tried to do an if else statement in the custom in Adjustments_3 properties calculation script that looks like this:

    If (Adjustments_2 < Adjustments_1) {}

    Adjustments_3 = Adjustments_1-Adjustments_2;

    }

    else {}

    Adjustments_3 = '0 '.

    }

    My difference is always 0.00 for any value I'm trying, I wonder where I was wrong.

    You cannot access the value of a field by simply using the name of the field. The right way to get the value of a field is the following:

    this.getField("Adjustment_1").value
    

    Thus, to convert your calculation to this mechanism, by introducing also variable JavaScript, the script is as follows:

    var Adjustment_1 = this.getField("Adjustment_1").value;
    var Adjustment_2 = this.getField("Adjustment_2").value;
    var Adjustment_3;
    
    if (Adjustments_2 < Adjustments_1) {
        Adjustments_3=Adjustments_1-Adjustments_2;
    }
    else {
        Adjustments_3 = "0";
    }
    this.getField("Adjustment_3").value = Adjustment_3;
    

    As you can see, I left your intact script and created variables with names that you used, but either assigned these variables based on the value of the field, or assigned to the value of the field from the Adjustment_3 variable.
