Ok so I had this stamp complete and just had to add a "auto date fill" to the script. I tried merging the sample script into my own but could never get it right. So I merged my script into the sample and it worked mostly. Somehow i managed to break one of the text field links. The five lines of code below are the only things i couldnt merge. Actually the first three i couldnt get in the script due to syntax errors. I moved all the code to a text field that is static because thats the only way i could get it to work without the 3 lines( I replaced it with a getField function).
The last two i got in the script but that field did not function at all. So my first three fields work properly, datebilled does not.
Lastly, the date being returned is not what i want. I thought i changed it with this line
AFDate_FormatEx("mm/dd/yyyy");
but it did not work.
It returns: Thu Dec 01 2011 20:09:07 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time)
I want: 12/01/2011
So there are two things i need help with. getting "datebilled" to work again and change the date format. Everything else in the script works.
var cMsg = dialog.Date;
event.value = "\n" + cMsg;
event.source.source.info.exhibit = cMsg;
cMsg = "\n" + dialog.datebilled;
this.getField("datebilled").value = cMsg;

This is what i have:
// Dialog Definition
var Dialog = {
// This dialog box is called when the dialog box is created
strName: "",
initialize: function(dialog)
{
this.loadDefaults(dialog);
dialog.load({"usnm":this.strName});
},
commit: function(dialog)
{
var results = dialog.store();
testValue = results["txt2"];
testValue2 = results["txt3"];
this.datebilled = results["txt4"];
var data = dialog.store();
this.strName = data["usnm"];
var elements = dialog.store()["txt2"];
for(var i in elements) {
if ( elements[i] > 0 ) {
testValue = elements[i];
}
}
},
loadDefaults: function (dialog) {
dialog.load({
txt2:

I am still stuck trying to make my last field work again. I can place the code without syntax errors but it still doesnt work.
var textValue2;

else if (testValue2==false) textValue2 = "No";
else if (testValue2==off) textValue2 = "Not Specified";
this.getField("Outsourced").value = textValue2;
Please help!

UPDATE:
So i had what i think is progress. I couldn't get any response using the cMsg = so I tried calling the dialog the same way as the popup and radio using var textValue3 and am getting back an undefined error, which i think is good as its getting input.
With help from try67 i learned how to convert the values returned to text for the popup and radio. Problem is in applying that idea to this field, this is not a static value being returned. It is a edit_text box with an invoice number being inputted. So i cant apply the convert part to this field as it needs to be what was put in the box. Not sure if i need to go back to using the cMsg = method, but i couldnt get that either.
I am also still trying to figure out the no radio selection returning "No" instead of "not selected".
At this point i don't think i can fix this. I have scoured the forum trying to find a related script to no avail. I am pretty sure this is the final draft of this stamp and just need that last two parts fixed. So close i can taste it!
Here is what i have with the "undefined" result, but again, not sure if i need to go back to cMsg = which is the one in first post.
// Dialog Definition
var Dialog = {
// This dialog box is called when the dialog box is created
strName: "",
initialize: function(dialog)
{
this.loadDefaults(dialog);
dialog.load({"usnm":this.strName});
},
commit: function(dialog)
{
var results = dialog.store();
testValue = results["txt2"];
testValue2 = results["txt3"];
this.datebilled = results["txt4"];
var data = dialog.store();
this.strName = data["usnm"];
var elements = dialog.store()["txt2"];
for(var i in elements) {
if ( elements[i] > 0 ) {
testValue = elements[i];
}
}
},
loadDefaults: function (dialog) {
dialog.load({

Update2:
I've gotten the entire script working. It seems if i keep trying I get it eventually. Very hard though. Must have made 200+ attempts piecing together different scripts. I hope that this saves someone a bunch of headaches as this script for a dynamic document stamp does a lot of different things.
Thanks to try67 for helping me get the popup list variables converted to text.
Here is the final script:
// Dialog Definition
var Dialog = {
// This dialog box is called when the dialog box is created
strName: "",
strName2: "",
initialize: function(dialog)
{
this.loadDefaults(dialog);
dialog.load({"date":this.strName});
},
commit: function(dialog)
{
var results = dialog.store();
testValue = results["txt2"];
testValue2 = results["txt3"];
this.datebilled = results["txt4"];
var data = dialog.store();
this.strName2 = data["txt4"];
this.strName = data["date"];
var elements = dialog.store()["txt2"];
for(var i in elements) {
if ( elements[i] > 0 ) {
testValue = elements[i];
}
}
},
loadDefaults: function (dialog) {
dialog.load({
txt2:
{
"*Not Specified": +1,
"Donations": -2,
"Office Supplies": -3,
"Outsourced Services": -4,
"Paper": -5,
"Telecommunications": -6,
"Utilities": -7
}
})
