Hi

Am creating a phonics package for schools, and due to my character set, I need the ability to change font if a specific letter (k) appears in a text box. I know how to search for the letter K, but have no idea of any scripting to change the font. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Paul

Hi

I have never used a script before, so whilst I know how to trigger it, I don't know any of the syntax involved. What do I need to put in the brackets to (a) select which text box to work with, and (b) which font to change to?

Thanks,

_Paul

Hi Paul,

The Opus help is very good at explaining script commands, but here's a function that will change the selected text's type face:


Quote:
//This is the function you call to change the type face
function changeStyle()
{
//You don't need this line as you are already selecting the K's. This simply selects all the text
//in the box.
myText.SetSelection(0,-1)

//this creates a new object to hold the properties for the typeface.
//You can include all properties here - size / bold / face / etc
var newStyle = new Object()
//This is the type face proeperty. Use the name of the font form the Font Folder in the control panel
newStyle.fontname = "Cooper Black"

//This changes the text style that is selected (highlighted) to the new style
myText.SetSelectionStyle(newStyle)

}


NOTE: The myText is the name of the object (textbox) on the page NOT a variable storing text!!!

Mack
