You woudl have to open the file in LiveCycle Designer to be able to get to the scripts.

Hi,

You can set up the workspace in LC Designer to suit how you will work on your forms.

Here are some pointers (in particular note 5):

1. The Hierarchy view is fairly important, as you can select objects on the form and perform actions. For example you can wrap selected objects in a subform or click and drag objects.
2. The Objects Library is obvious.
3. The page layout, where you will work on positioning objects. You can also view the Master Page, the XML Source (you rarely need to go in there) and the Preview.
4. You can select objects on the page (or in the Hierarchy) and then complete tasks. For example add script into the object's events.
5. The Script Editor is very important when you want to start adding interactivity. If the editor is only one line high, then I would drag the bottom edge down, so that you can see a few lines at a time. This is where you will select the event that you want to script against (Show dropdown), set the scripting language and where the script will run (client mainly or server). You add script to an object using the Script Editor.
6. It is worthwhile setting up other palettes, so that they are close to hand. For example, the Object, Layout, Border and Accessibility palettes and the Font and Paragraph palettes.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Hi,

"Events with script" will show all of the events in an object that have script. If an object does not have script then this will show a blank editor. To start adding script you would select the event that you want the script to fire.

For example, if you select a Button on your form, you may want to type in script into it's click event. Just select the click event from the Show dropdown:

You can look at script in any of the events by selecting from the "Show" dropdown.

Please note that all of these screenshots are of a form opened in LiveCycle Designer.

Hi,

If you have a look at this post and a number beneath it, you will see how Paul calls a function from the button.

The main script is in the function.

That is correct, the ability to Reader enabled a form is not in Reader. It is only available in Acrobat or LiveCycle Resder Extensions ES2.5. See here for further info: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.

Hope that helps,
