Is there a maximum number of "multi state objects" per article? Indesign keeps crashing

Hi, i have 12 multi state objects on a page, and indesign keeps crashing.
i know this seems like a high number, but I have done this to create a work around - ticker (like an old style airport board e.g. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=airport+board&espv=2&biw=1306&bih=653&source=lnms&tbm=is ch&sa=X&ei=TkYUVb3ZJIb0PJ7DgZg… each set of 3 creating one graphic e.g. 3.35
After creating these Indesign keeps crashing when i try to preview?
Any advice would be appreciated.

It sounds like you're running in to a memory problem: Memory Handling in DPS
That said, usually multiple MSOs on the page don't usually cause memory problems because only the first state of the MSO is loaded into memory. If the first state of each MSO is loading a web overlay displaying ticker information, then that's the most likely culprit. Consider redesigning the page so that only a few tickers are loaded into memory and the user needs to tap to reveal additional tickers.

    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If you have trouble uploading boot into safemode and try again

  • Is there a maximum number of pictures that can be uploaded to create a photo book?

    Is there a maximum number of pictures that can be uploaded to create a photo book?  I can't seem to drag anymore pictures to my current project.

    I have over 200 photos in my book and it was accepted. There is a limit on each widget though. The interactive widget seems to have a limit of around 30 or 40.

  • Is there a maximum number of iPod Touch Calendars?

    Since the iPod Touch does not (yet) have a search function I created a Medical calendar to which I want to assign all medical appointments. On my desktop (iCal 2.0.5) I went back one year and changed certain data to Medical. When I synched my iPod Touch it took an amazingly long time and when complete the Medical category did not show up on my iPod, and the events I had changed were unchanged in their categorization. I checked back to the desktop iCal and the changes were in effect (the iPod didn't accept the new calendar but it didn't mess with the iCal).
    _*Is there a maximum number of calendars the iPod Touch will accept?_*
    Not counting "All" as a category I have 14. One reason for this high number is that my work publishes 6 calendars depending on the constituency (parents, upper school faculty, lower school faculty....blah blah). If there is a max I can somehow try to combine some calendars and lower the number but first I need to know.

    You may not get the help you require here and would be best posting in the iPod Touch forum. Here's a link.

  • Can I assign the text in a multi-state object?

    I want to assign InCopy files to the captions that are part of a slideshow, but I can't seem to create assignments for the text boxes that are in a multi-state object. Is this possible?

    Currently there is no capability to add text frames withing an MSO to an InCopy assignment. There is limited support for this edit workflow when using solutions such as WoodWing or K4. Please make sure to fill out the feature request form: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform so that we can capture the demand for this function.

  • My multi-state object disappear's when I export to PDF but works in Preview mode?

    I created a multi-state object which is a series of logos that appear when a button is clicked. There are two buttons one is set to go the the previous state and one is set to go to the next state. When I view it in the preview mode it works fine but when I export it to PDF nothing happens when I click the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Multi-state objects are NOT supported in PDF. The PDF standard preceded the development of multi-state objects. It's now under the control of the ISO so may be slow to adapt.
    They work when exporting to SWF or with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

  • Image buttons in multi-state-object

    Hello,
    I created 3 articles in Indesign for the iPad. The 3 articles come in a liquid format (landscape and portrait) and are all quite picture heavy. Nevertheless, I am very surprised of the folio file size, it's over 500 MB big.
    The biggest Indesign file of these 3 articles has 115 MB as there are many statuses (multi-state-objects) (please see screenshots attached). I checked these resources out: Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays and Structuring Files for DPS
    According to these resources, the images in my 9 big circles should be resampled when I export the folio in PDF format. So by theory the image sizes cannot be the problem here. But what else can be the problem? I can't think of any other issues.
    What can I do to reduce the folio size. Please help!

    I don't have any web overlays, no. Just normal URL links (In-App-Browser opens). I have 1 video file embedded (nearly 400 MB), so I am well aware of that. But 150 MB for the rest when it's only 3 articles (despite having 2 formats) seems a bit too much to me. I did add the articles to the folio once at a time, yes. And it is the article with the many buttons and MSOs (as seen in the screenshots above) that is so big. This is also the article with the video in it, but still. I have the feeling buttons or the images in the buttons are making the folio so big. I often do app magazines with approx. 15 articles and 3-4 videos embedded (200-300 MB per video!) and that is normally 650 MB or so. So comparing that with my 3 articles makes me wonder.
    Do MSOs and buttons make a folio big, is that possible? Or is it the images in the 9 big buttons not being resampled correctly (even though the documentation - 2 links in my original post - say something else). When I export the article, I always export it as PDF and when looking at the loading bar, it says "saving as PNG". So that should mean that all my buttons are resampled, I don't have to worry about image file size and it's exported as PNG in the PDF. Hm...

  • DPS HTML to activate multi state object

    Is there a way to have an HTML asset placed in a DPS folio, to activate a specific state of a multi state object?

    I don't think there is a way to use hyperlinks to change an MSO's state.
    Two approaches you might try:
    1 - Lose the MSO and create it as an html overlay and use jQuery to create a similar MSO change state experience
    2 - Try overlaying a blank button on your html link and use that to change the MSO state

  • Video above multi-state object

    hi guys,
    We always tried to avoid this kind of problem on our designs, however, this time we are just converting a publication so we cannot change the design and we are facing an issue, basically we have a video and a calendar that opens fullscreen when I click on a button. The problem is that the video remains above the calendar (see attached image)
    I found some posts talking about this, but they are related to the same object, not different objects. Is there any way to fix it?
    Thanks!

  • Are Multi-state Objects Supported in Version 11 DPS tools?

    Hello Everyone!
    I was wondering if multi-state objects are supported in V11 of DPS tools for example if i create a multi state object and build it for an iPad,
    Will the MSO work with V11?
    On Another note,
    Horizontal Swipe won't work on V11 right?
    Thanks!

    Hi Bob,
    I was given the green light to proceed with MSOs and on their spec sheet it said they supported multi state objects.
    Here's a quick mock up of something similar we did.
    The arrows are part of the state, as well as the image and text, so there's buttons within the states.
    Something like that would not be possible?
    The reason we did it this way was because they wanted everthing in one page, so the only way to fit multiple pages into one was to create MSOs, i originally had it as seperate pages were the user would click the arrow and it would take you to the next page instead of the next mso.
    Thanks bob!
