Digital Workshop

I am running a publication of about 300 pages to train people for the driving test. It is all running fine.

Now I have been asked to allow students that suffer from dyslexia to change the colors of the font and background. This is easy for a single page; the students choose colors from a palette, then kept in two variables containing the color codes.

But what I need is to put a script that changes the colors on every text box on a given page (or even better - the whole publication) using the two variables, triggered for instance by “ Page - OnShow”. Any idea if this is possible?

Someone will probably suggest a better solution than the one, I'm about to suggest here. JUst in case they don't however;

I would create a frame and paste that frame on every page. Problem would be solved then.

Jonas,

If you send me an example from one page with the script and the textboxes you are using now, I'll change the script for you so you can use it on every page.

Best regards,

Oscar,

Could you maybe post a little bit more information about your solution you're going to use on the file.

Is it just selecting the the full text and adjusting the colour ?
I found that changing the colour this way still showed the transition between the original and new colour.

I still havent found a way, fast enough to do it invisible ( my pages contain some 'large' elements : avi buttons, png images, etc. But that should be the problem, i suspect )

Hi All
This was the only post I could find...(from way way back)

I am starting a new project from scratch
The project will contain 15-20 pages with different Text box objects on each page
There will be a separate Settings page where I can change the FONT COLOR for all text boxes on all pages.

I know how to change the text color for a single text object but do not know how to change all text boxes on all pages with a single click.
The number of boxes on each page will vary depending on the content
Any suggestions on how to implement this

The text boxes are objects on the page and you can get and cycle through the objects making the changes in turn.

Place all the boxes in a frame and then use GetNumberChildren() to count the text boxes. Use this value in a for / while loop and use GetChild() with the index for the loop to access the properties of individual text boxes on the page.

Thanks...will try to put together a basic prototype

As it's Friday afternoon and the sun is shining, here's an example:

It was cloudy and miserable outside.
But when I opened your example all of a sudden the sun began to shine and the birds in the garden began to chirp....

Seems the imp file you posted contains some of "Mack's Magic Dust":)
