Edge Animate and ExCanvas.js?

OK, I've used Edge Animate to make a killer landing page prototype for a really big e-commerce/retail company and everyone whose seen it has flipped out. That's the good part. The bad part is that none of this will work in IE 7/8. SInce the mouthbreathers that use these out-dated, POS browsers makes up about 1/3 of their customers, telling them to come back after they upgrade to a real browser isn't an option.
I've tried using ExCanvas to no success to get what is essentially a timeline animation using 10 images to work. I'm missing something here, but have no idea what is is.
Will Edge Animate output work with ExCanvas.js for use in IE7/8 or is this just a pipe dream?
Please be advised: at current, I'm using EA 1.5 (CS) not 2.0 (CC).
Thanks,
jeff

Hi Jeff,
With IE <8 on the decline, we have no plans to add support for these browsers. It would take a huge amount of effort to polyfill for these and you would end up with an obnoxious payload - nobody wants that
Have you tried Chrome frame? In the publish options, you can select Chrome Frame which will prompt older IE users to run a Chrome emulation. It only needs to be run once for it to work and could be the trick to getting your clients on board.

  • Edge Animate and typekit

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me please with this.
    I followed the video tutorial but couldn't add the font from typekit. It would show the new font as an available, but the look didn’t change.
    Best,                                                                
    Lana
    P.S. I did try to contact the adobe chat and phone support  but was told that the Edge Animate and typekit are only supported via forum

    Hi Lana_Studio,
    You most likely need to add "127.0.0.1" to the list of allowed domains on your kit in Typekit.
    See these articles for more information:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/edge/2012/01/27/web-fonts-and-edge-together-at-last/
    (Scroll down to "How to Embed Web Fonts Using Typekit")
    http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/6857-using-typekit-while-developing-local ly
    Don't forget to publish your kit after adding 127.0.0.1. Also, note that it may take a few minutes (I noted up to about 15 minutes) before the changes to your kit will be completely published.

  • Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

    I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

  • Edge Animate and Fancybox Conflict

    Hi,
    I've created a nice little splash animation for my company's website, which is working nicely on it's own.  Further down the page, we have a section that I'm trying to manually call fancybox galleries on.  It works if I delete the Edge Preloader Script tag in the head, but as soon as I paste it back in, fancybox does not work again.  I have other jquery scripts running on the page while the Edge script is active, so I don't think it's from multiple jquery calls.  I'm at a loss here as it seems that getting rid of one or the other is the only solution and I hope that isn't the case.
    You can see the code at: http://brilliant-graphics.com/BrilliantJune2013/
    The manual fancybox call is on the 'Clients Section' on the gallery button for Peter Sculthorpe.

    Thank you very much for your answer.
    When I give exported as HTML at the end of the process opened me is the page of the Google search engine, but when I go to the folder where I keep the project in HTML and give click to INDEX up the page but only see the color background page and do not see the animations I did in EDGE ANIMATE . It seems to me that it is wrong EDGE ANIMATE , because when I look for the assets folder, there are two animations I did in Edge Animate , and when I enter one of them and I click the HTML document animation , raises with defects in the animation , it lacks a number of images to the project. However, these missing pictures ARE ON THE IMAGES FOLDER . Then I went to Edge Animate to see how Edge Animate published as Web (not as oam file) and when I clicked the HTML document created by Edge Animate gives the same error as in Muse . I really do not understand what's happening because the preview of Edge Animate and the Muse preview look perfect . And I do not miss any ' error code or something.
    I do not know what else to do , my knowledge of the programs is limited , perhaps , to be able to locate an solution .
    I will be very grateful to all who can help me on this case.
    Thank you

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

  • Constant crashes with Edge Animate and Yosemite

    I'm using Edge Animate running on a macbook pro and it is crashing every few minutes (like many others are reporting).
    The program is up-to-date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it.
    Sometimes after a minute or two of working, the display features disappear. Old bounding boxes remain but, with some careful cursor action, I can still manipulate the image or symbol. . .  until the entire program freezes. Other times things just stop working (e.g., motion paths). The only solution is to force quit the program -- the button on the crash notice rarely works.
    Each time it crashes, it seems to create another Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014.1 Helper in the Activity Monitor (don't know what that means). I've tried deleting them but it doesn't help.
    In the console, I get
    2/18/15 9:16:30.612 AM Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014.1[4172]: *** Assertion failure in -[NSEvent subtype], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1343.16/AppKit.subproj/NSEvent.m:2427
    There are 43 lines (!!!) that are identical to the one above.
    This is obviously a known problem and needs to be acknowledged and fixed!

    Hi L Nordstrom,
    - If you have Dropbox installed, uninstall the software and retry.
    - If you are accessing files from a remote network, copy them to your local computer, and retry.
    Let us know if you still face issues.

  • Working with Edge Animate and Muse CC

    Hi,
    I have just published a website to the Business Catalyst server via Muse for testing (link below) and noticed that the Edge animation i have included in the website doesnt work in Internet Explorer 8 as it doesnt support HTML5, do you have a work around for this and if so how do i implement it?
    Look forward to hearing from you.

    i'm from orgin an php wordpress developer and im trying to make an muse site now to...
    and it is a pain in the *** xD.
    no control over css or html, so im starting to regret this
    but you can just render it as web in edge animate wit hthe iframe checked. than place in in muse by object > insent html and insent is as iframe.
    <iframe src="/folder/index.html"></iframe>
    warning, you can not see anything of iframe in preview mode, you have to completely render is as html and manualy open it to see the change....
    i really like edge animate but im starting to hate muse

  • Interaction between Edge Animate and RaphaelJS (or any svg library)

    Hello.
    Edge Animate's possibilities are really nice as long as i'm working with anything rectangular. The overall UI is very practical and so, but when you want to work with more complex shapes overlapping it gets very limitated.
    I've looked around with no success, so may be someone here as a clue for me.
    How would you integrate something from this kind of page (interactive map of australia) and make the map and an Edge environment work together.
    Here i'm thinking :
    - Edge buttons that would highlight some parts of the map (or reveal some divs from the original html)
    - RaphaelJS code at building of the map that would interact with edge symbols.
    So far, my knowledge of code/js/css seems too limited to get things done as i wish, any ideas/insight welcome.

    Hi Franck!
    You are right. The default implementation uses the SVG as a background image applied to a div container. That's the reason why you loose all the interactivity within the SVG itself. I love Raphael, but I think it would be an overhead for your map example.
    Here is a light weight solution with (jQuery SVG) that works like a charme with non-rectangle click areas.
    Assuming you have a rectangle placed on the stage (named "playground") you can load the SVG into that container within the "compositionReady" handler of your composition like this:
    yepnope({
         load: "libs/jquery.svg.package-1.4.5/jquery.svg.min.js",
         complete: function() {
              // Load Handler for SVG Graphics
              function onSvgLoad(svg, error) {
                $('path#Cyan').click( function(){
                     alert('hello Cyan');
                     // Your code here
              // Select Edge Animate Element for SVG display
              var playground = sym.$("playground");
              // Load SVG Graphics
              playground.svg({});
              var svg = playground.svg('get');
              svg.load('images/pie.svg', {
                   addTo: false,
                   changeSize: false,
                   onLoad: onSvgLoad
    I put together a small demo project with an example svg and all dependencies:

    Hope that helps!

  • Edge animate (and some others) don't show up to install on Windows XP (32bit)

    Are these pieces of software only 64bit or later OS?

  • Edge animate and content management system

    Since I'm having great difficulty getting this to work, I'm wondering if edge animate 2014.1 will work in an content management system? The previous version I was using created a _edgePreload.js which among other things, loaded the javascript files and had a path to those .js files that could be changed, which is how I managed to get about half working with my cms. Now that Edge has updated to v2014.1 the _edgePreload.js is no longer automatically generated as a separate file and when set to publish preload DOM as separate file, this preload.js  does not have the same "paths" section. Also, publish settings will not let you use relative paths, Can anyone explain if and how edge animate 2014.1 can work in an content management system I would greatly appreciate it.

    You can now modify the first parameter to "AdobeEdge.loadComposition" in the generated html page accordingly.
    Say, you moved the edge generated js(_edge.js and/or _edgePreload.js) files to folder "myJSFiles", then do the following change:
         Before Change:  AdobeEdge.loadComposition('CompName', 'EDGE-107552393', { ..... }
         After Change:    AdobeEdge.loadComposition('myJSFiles/CompName', 'EDGE-107552393', { ..... }

    I'm watching this thread with intertest, because I am experiencing the same thing with an Edge Animate file brought into my Muse project. Everything previews in browser just fine... works as expected when I publish to Business Catatlyst. But when I export as html and ftp the files to my web host (not Business Catalyst)... everything BUT the Edge Animate animation works as expected. The EA simply does not play, even though it is set to 'autoplay'. A look in the site directory shows the necessary files 'in place'. I'm stumped...

  • Edge Animate and Windows Vista?

    Having tried to install and use Edge Animate I have had no success at all. The programme does not work with this operating system, and I would like a fix for this, as I want to use the programme. I am dissapointed as having just joined the Creative Cloud system I find this programme is available to me. I have seen that many others suffer from the same problem, and wonder what Adobe will do about it.

    Hi, Tony-
    We're using the other thread regarding the Vista issue to discuss Adobe's response.  Thanks!

  • Edge Animate and iBooks Author

    Hello,
    Let me start by saying that I love Edge Animate! It is easy to learn with plenty of support and examples. However, I am having difficulty publishing my file to iBooks Author. After publishing my animation file, when I drop it into iBooks Author it will not animate. In this particular animation I use GreenSock GSAP exclusively. Thinking it might be my file, I published one of Adobe's example files and it does not animate either in iBooks. My animation is below:
    https://files.acrobat.com/preview/9f94f319-56d2-43f6-a8b1-ff9acbc2cd1a

    Ok Sarah, I'm trying to solve the problem slicing the pictures and it seems the animation get more speed but I have to slice more.
    In meantime, I have a question: why if I use the 1MB size picture in an animation without symbol it works smoothly on Safari-iPad but, if I "wrap" the same image in a symbol, the animation is ver very slower?
    Many thanks for your help!!
