- Subject: Re: Activating text field scripts globally
- Lines: 28
-
- Regarding a global solution to blinking cursors problem, i.e., activating
- a whole bunch of scripts.
-
- A couple ways come to mind:
- If you want to activate all the field scripts on a page you could
- select all [OBJECTYPE] of the page or background and set activated of
- selection to true. At least I assume this will work. To test,
- try selecting a number of fields on a page, then type in the
- command window "set activated of selection to true". Or you could
- include the selection of all fields in the first part of the
- statement to accomplish both tasks.
-
- Something I've mentioned before is R-Spy. A nice development tool
- that among other things, lets you copy any particular attribute/s of
- one object and then point and click at other objects to modify
- the attribute of the target to match that of the source...kindof a
- clipboard for properties. It then becomes trivial, though still a
- little time consuming to go through and point and click at each
- object whose properties need to be updated to activate field.
-
- Hope one of these helps.
