DPS scrollable frame

Hi there,
Just wondering if you can make a scrollable frame of images the same as you would make a scrollable text frame?, If so, what is the simplist way to go about it (lining the photos up and using a container, paste into? just like you'd do a text frame?!
Thank you !

Please post DPS questions in the DPS forum in the future: http://forums.adobe.com/community/dps

DPS and Scrollable Frame text

Having an issue with text rendering inside a scrollable frame, it seems to be cut off slightly at the top. Seems to be a new issue, is there an solution outside of just adding a return before the first line of text?
Thanks.

Thanks, Bob. Seems like a fairly simple fix. Appreciate the help!

Scrollable frame is text: anchored object in text can not be button?

Following example: A textframe. With an anchored object (group). Paste textframe in other frame to make scrollable frame (pan only). Select anchored frame in already pasted into textframe, make button for anchored object (go to state).
Does not work, button does nothing (and yes a converted it to a button after the paste into other frame as last step).
Not possible?
DPS v18

If you want the button in the scrollable frame to control an MSO state, the button/scrollable frame needs to be part of the MSO. It is an InDesign limitation that buttons cannot control videos, audio clips, or MSOs unless they're on the same "level" in the document.

Hyperlinks in a scrollable frame moving on scroll

Context:
Application for iPad, created in inDesign with DPS.
Situation:
We have a table inserted into a vertically scrollable frame. On top, we have a series of links that correspond to the table text (please see screenshot below).
Problem:
When the table is scrolled all the way to the top, the links shift and no longer correspond the text.
Details:
The links and the table are grouped. They were cut and placed into a scrollable frame.
          The links work.
          The scrolling works.
          The links correspond properly to the text when the content is in the 'top left'.
          Scrolling partly up, the links are still okay.
          Scrolling all the way up, and the links scroll further than the table, causing them to be off.
Screenshot below:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Bob. I think I found the problem -- the new guy hadn't removed the old scrollable frame from the text when he added the links, so the links were in a scrollable frame, and the text table was actually inside two scrollable frames.
Sorry to have wasted your time with something that turned out to be an error on our side.

Problems with scrollable frames

I have an old DPS file that has videos inside a scrollable frame and they work fine. However, i am updating my files and in the new CS6/cc when i create the content, I group all the items, cut and paste into the smaller textframe and when i go to the Folio Overlays panel with the text frame highlighted, the option for scrollable frames is greyed out. Video is highlighted but it will not allow me to create a scrollable frame. Does anyone have a recommendation for what i am doing wrong.

You are correct, I missed your point.
I got it this time though and it worked!
Wow, nifty work around. Thanks.
Now that I have successfully embedded video within the scrollable frame, I am concerned about the 2 GB max from apple.
I researched streaming video and successfully tested this, however it seems the frame for the video needs to be scaled to the preferred viewable size because there is not an option for “play full screen”. As you can see in the screenshot below, I am trying to place the video under the play button using streaming content.
Do you know if this is possible?

Video nested into scrollable frame

hi everyone...in past versions of dps tools, i can made a scrollable frame with photos and video in one group into the scrollable frame ..now i can't (the folio overlay option is not activate)....do you know why? or how can i make that now? is for the v29 dps tools?
thanks

Hi Bob -- I just encountered this bug. I wanted to paste a set of images and a video in a scrolling frame, which as discussed in January, doesn't work anymore. I'm in v30. Have they fixed this? What I had to do was make 2 sets. One group of images and one group of images and the video. Pasted just the images, set up the scroll, then deleted them and pasted in the second set with the video. Ack! Any better way? Thanks, Beth

Scrollable frame prevents swipe to next page

Hello
Does anybody else find when they create a PDF format for the iPad that scrollable frames don't work as well as in auto format.
I have placed a large scrollable frame which takes up 3/4 of my page. When I swipe to the next page the scrollable frame wont let me swipe?
Cheers
Gemma

bugs and behaviour like this is a suspicious sign of a wrong architecture,
too many cooks/programmers ruining the menu (a German spoke word), or
incomplete testing.
DPS is a massive complex system.but for these, data models and information
architecture are critical to success.
I see movement at adobe here. there are more and more people from adobe
responding to problems, actually engineering on these forums and more
concise product management. one can feel that.
but sometimes, these "funny" things happen... they don't matter to the big
publishers still on sprint 15 or enterprise level publishers with their own
track if DPS (visible in the cryptic version number for the WIRED reader
and others).
but they matter to the designers, makers, thinkers and people on the
bleeding edge of DPS actually trying to produce stuff and stumble upon
these things.

Help with scrollable frames...

If I put a Landscape ad in a portrait frame and do a scrollable frame on that ad, how do I get to the next page of content when that requires a horizontal swipe? Thanks

HI, I have been trying to do this kind of scollable frames and it is impossible to navigate to the next page if you swipe in the scrollable area.
But take a look at Hatched 2013 app (featured in DPS gallery) they manage to go to the next page swiping in the scrollable area! Any idea of how they do that?
Thank you

Scrollable frame/content in fixed layout epub

I am suggesting that Adobe InDesign be enhanced with the capability to generate scrollable frames/content in the development of fixed layout epubs.
This is one way that Adobe could appease Creative Cloud subscribers, given the planned retirement of DPS Single Edition, effective May 01, 2015,

See the following thread as a possible workaround:

Scrollable Frames bugs

Hi,
I got some errors with drop 19 while creating my first magazine....
1. Horizontal slider, placed on the left side. On the right side is an image with a contour and a textflow (nor sure whats the name for that n english...). If you scroll the text horizontally to the left, the textflow is as if the image is placed in the text. The issue is, that theres a bug with the overlay and placed mages on top of it, it thinks it is placed within the scrollable text
2. You cannot leave a page without a button when the scrollable text area is too big. I think at the end of the srollable text the page should flip. Users might be confused if nothing happens. This must be fixed soon. As i have a single license and a tight time frame, i cannot fix it later (without paying for it again..). Drop 19 is nearly useless with.scrollable frames, i read a couple of ther reports naming that issue...
Hope to get some jelpfull answers. In my opninion, the whole dps is in early beta. I started using it with drop 9, the handling is better now, but some fetures are still missing...
Kind regards
Simon

Another issue: scrollable text withn a scrollable text is working, but only if the scrolling frame is visible. If it is not visible on lage load, the font site s reduced and not scrolling, it is repeatsble, i can provide indd files if required

Jump within scrollable frame?

Hi DPS community,
I'm creating a company directory with 250 names and I would like a smooth scrolling experience (also open to other suggestions you may have!) and I would like to ask if its possible to create buttons that jump to a specific areas within the scrollable frame? Similar to the way iOS's Contacts work where the letters are static along the scrollable frame but tapping a letter will jump to the corresponding area? (image attached)
Thank you for any tips or suggestions.
-Dan

That ability does not exist in DPS using InDesign scrolling frames. You
could do it as HTML and use a Web Content overlay to do it, though.

V20 Problem Scrollable Frames

Hi Everyone!
I have InDesign CS5.5 and I'm having a problem with the new scrollable frames functions.
I tried to recreate a scrollable frame like the one shown here tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-digital-publishing-suite/scrollable-frames-and-pan-zoom-v19/ at 03:43.
My Problem is:
Hide Scroll Indicators does not work
Use Document Position does not work too.
I have installed the latest producer tools (FolioProducerTools-CS55-1.10.1 and FolioPanel-CS55-12.2.2.1).
I'm running Windows (Is this the problem here? :-P )
I un- and reinstalled the producer tools.
I also tried it on my windows notebook. Same result.
Do I need to install anything else to get it working?
Maybe someone can help me here.
Best,
Wolfgang
Message was edited by: Onefootvisual19 I uninstalled the Folio Producer Tools v 1.10.1 and installed s v 1.8 (where the feature scrollable frame wasn't available yet) than installed v 1.9 (the wanted function as described above didn't work) and then finally reinstalled v.1.10.1. It still doesn't work ... Am I the only one here who experiences these problems?
Message was edited by: Onefootvisual19
Here are also three screenshots to illustrate my problem.
1.) I the red frame is the container of the grouped elements that are scrollable (on the left side is the whole element so you can see it). Hide scroll indicators option is checked and also use document position.
2. When I start the Content Viewer the scrollable frame places the content on the upper left corner ...
3. and scroll indicators are visible
What's the problem here?
Can anyone help me out?
Best,
Wolfgang

Here is another strange thing:
I looked up http://www.caniupdateadobedps.com/ and they say that you find the dps version number in the info window of the folio builder panel. it should be 20.
but mine says 15? though I installed v20 now for the fifth time.
the extension manager says I have v20 though.
Is this the cause for my dps functions not working the way they should?
I really would appreciate some help here.

Dear Neil,
Thank you for pointing out the right direction.
Here is the deal:
After I deleted all the parts you described and reinstalled the tools it still didn't work, but I noticed in the Extension Manager that the plug-in was still active and located at the location where I installed InDesign CS5.5. I again deinstalled the tools and also deleted the "(DigitalPublishing Resources)" folder and the plug-in "DigitalPublishing.apln" (which was from the year 2011).
Than I reinstalled the tools and after starting InDesign CS5.5 the panel window told me I'm missing a plug-in and I should download the latest producer tools.
Here is the trick: I copied the newly created (from reinstalling the new tools) "(DigitalPublishing Resources)" and the "DigitalPublishing.apln" from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Plug-Ins\Graphics to the location where I have installed InDesign CS5.5 and it works!
Neil, thank you very much for your time!
You saved my day!
Best,
Wolfgang

How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,

Hi Friends,
How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,
Thank you,
[ Nav ]

That's the same question:
how can I access something (a page item) on a page…
Answer: you need something unique in that object you can get a handle on.
Or you use the selection a user of your script is doing and work with that selection…
A "scrollable frame" is nothing special. What it makes it a "scrollable frame" is the DPS software.
So you have to look for attached labels on the object, that identify the object for the PDS plug-in "Overlay Creator" as a "scrollable frame". That's possible with the "extractLabel("KeyString")" function. But you need to know the appropriate key-string in advance.
In another of your thread in the DPS forum, I basically answered the question how to obtain those key-strings.
When knowing the key-string you could loop through all your page items (you can skip all text frames) in the allPageItems-collection, to identify the "scrollable frame" by extracting the right label.
If you have more than one "scollable frames" you need a second unique identifier for the particular object.
That could be nearly any property.
Keep in mind, there is no "scrollableFrames" collection in the DOM !

Scrollable Frames canceled out by video on page

I had wired up a scrollable frame (tab) at the bottom of my page. Tested and everything works fab. I added a layer above this scrollable area and dropped several video clips into the layout. Those clips are part of the main page content.
As soon as I did this, the container and the scrollable content placed into that container doesn't render when the file is Published/tested. It fails on both Desktop and iPad Viewer.
If I hide the layers contain the video clips the scrollable frame content returns and works just fine. Is this a known issue that video even being present on the same page kills scrollable content?
New to using scrollable frames along side video content, and I haven't tried the myriad of hacks to get it to work. Want to start with the obvious questions... should this work?
Thanks
Steve

I've made some progress, and have also made some odd discoveries.
So, I was able to make the MSO work - but it doesn't work consistently. I went back to the original approach of putting the tab on the first state, and the videos on the next 3 states, This way the tab starts things off, and as soon as someone taps the invisible buttons to jump to any video, those videos play fullscreen.
The trick is a tap to return to the first state where you are then able to drag the tab (scrollable frame) up. It might trip a few users, but is a trade off, where most people will just try to drag it again and will have success. Acceptable for this secondary content.
This page is the last page in a 9 page stack. When I "Preview" the page on Desktop or direct to iPad. the page loads up by itself and everything works great!
However, when I upload the whole article/stack to the DPS server, and download it. I of course have to swipe down from page 1. When I arrive on page 9, the videos work just fine, but the tab is gone on the first state. It doesn't render at all.
Once you click to a video, you see the "dummy" tab appear on those other states. Clicking in that place holder area to return to the first state where the tab should be removes the "dummy" tab, and the actual tab doesn't render.
As you can imagine - this is maddening!
Thoughts I have... could something on the other pages be messing it up? Possibly, but every page in the rest of the article have static content, and 1 scrollable frames. No other videos OR multistates. And all the other scrollable frames work 100% of the time.
Is there a limit to the number of scrollable areas and I've hit it? I'm going to start trashing pages one at a time to see if I strike a nerve. But I'm grasping at straws.
If you think of something, all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Steve

Buttons inside of scrollable frames

I have a series of photographs that act as buttons that go to a page number. In one article, I've grouped together these buttons and put them inside of a scrollable frame. They work fine.
Now, in another article (both of these articles are part of the same FOLIO) these buttons just go to MSOs. The MSOs have pan and zoom enabled (a lot of interactivity going on). I've cut and paste these buttons inside of a frame and made it scroll, but the buttons are non functional. Why are buttons functional in one frame and non functional in another?

An update to the DPS tools that addresses the issues with iframe/HTML and buttons in release 25 is now available. Updated tools can be downloaded by following the link for the appropriate InDesign and OS version at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_dps_install_en.
