Hi all,

I wanted to know if it is possible to use context variables in formcalc. I wanted to use those variables in "if else" condition in formcalc scripting language. Please post the sample code also as i am new to adobe forms.

Hi ,

Each variable define in the context can be used on the layout of the form and/or in script linked to fields.

This can be done in formcalc or in javascript language , without any problem . You have only to acess the correct variable in the script.

For getting variable in a script you must define the complete name of the variable, example "Myform.Header.Data.Myvariable" get access to variable MyVariable define in the context under nodes Header/Data .

Hope it's help you

regards.

hi Bertrand,

I am still getting message as "Accessor is unknown" when i am trying to use context variables. May be i am making some syntax error. My form context name is "ysampleform" and the variable name is "flag". I want to use this variable in an if condition. Can u plz give me the exact syntax for the above parameters. Thanks in advance.
