Script Error: Invalid property set operation

[Former Community Member]

(in FormCalc)

I have a form with multiple pages.  The first two are a chart and the other 8 are diagrams.  The diagrams have number fields to input measurements taken from an inspection process.  On the chart form I have a button to populate the chart with the information from the diagrams. 

The click event of the button first retrieves the information from the diagrams and transfers them to the chart.  It then is supposed to change the font color based on whether the readings are within allowable limits (Black for good, Red for bad). 

However, when I go into the Preview PDF tab, enter test data into the diagrams, and click the populate button I get an Error to which I do not know how to correct.  I have not been able to find anything on the Internet about it. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Here is what is on the error screen:

Script failed (language is formcalc; context is

xfa[0].form[0].topmostSubform[0].LHChart[0].Button1[0])

script=...

Error: Invalid property set operation; font doesn't have a default property

[Bibhu_Bikash_Na]

Probably you are using a wrong method?? Could you post the script?

[kjaeggin]

Yes. Can you post the script? The error indicates "font" doesn't have a default property, so how is font being called?

you are using formcalc, and if you are just calling the variable or the field name, the default property for every field is "value".

I am going to guess that you specified it this way,

myField.font = "Arial"; // This is invalid and will throw the error you are seeing.

It should be myField.font.typeface = "Arial" for example, which works.

So, if you are changing the font's color, the code would be

TextField1.font.fill.color.value

= "255,255,0";

What version of Designer are you using? There is no such property called "fontColor" for the font element in the template spec.

Use this:

TextField1.font.fill.color.value

= "255,255,0"

That should work.

[Former Community Member]

I will give that a try.  I am using Livecycle Designer ES2.

[Former Community Member]

kjaeggin, I gave your solution a try and came up with the same error.

[kjaeggin]

I am not sure why that isn't working for you. It changes the font color for me using the same version of Designer, and Acrobat 9.x as the runtime.

It will be hard to debug without seeing your form.

[Former Community Member]

I don't see a way to attach the form to this thread.

[Former Community Member · Accepted solution]

I figured out the solution to my problem. 

I had code in the target fields as well as the button trying to change to font color based on the imported numbers.  I deleted the code within the target fields and left the code in the button field and everything worked out right.

Thanks again for everyone help.
