I have a working Livecycle document that allows the user to order a product, duct fittings in this case, and with instance management, the user can order multiple products with various dimensions.
What's been requested is either a 3D or at least a graphical representation of this fitting, and for its dimensions to change to scale according to what dimensions are put into the fields.
I tried using rectangles and basic shapes, and changing their heights and widths according to inputs, but it seems pretty clear that shapes do not support scripting in this way. Are there other methods to explore? Do Livecycle forms support u3D embedding or Flash objects?
I'm aware that I'll probably have to propose something along the lines of a Flash application for that kind of depth, but I'd rather be able to continue with what I've got, since it's working otherwise. Any suggestions?
Anyway if you intend for users to pick measurements from a list or dropdown you could think about using images of various sizes. The correct sized image would appear to match the measurement that is chosen.
Some kind of Flash application would be nice.
