Please point me to examples of fixed layout ebooks with javascript and animations

Hi! I am a danish children's author and want to create an ebook in "Fixed layout" for the ibookstore. I want the ebook to have simple interactive and animated features triggered by javascript. I would like more knowledge about what is and isn't possible with the javascript and CSS in apples fixed layout format. I have already viewed the "Yellow Submarine" ebook and Apples sample ebook "Sonnet 18". Are there more examples available?
Please do not point me to apps. There are great interactive book-apps for children - but for this project I am only interested in the Fixed layout format for the ibookstore.
All replies will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

if I can help, let me know...

How do I fix my problem with Artist and Sort Artist?

I have all my songs sorted by Artist and because I have songs that feature other artists I use the sort artist field.
In itunes it all looks fine but when I sync it with my iPod Nano 5th Gen one of the artists names comes up as the artist for all songs.
Eg. I have 5 B.o.B songs.The Artist field has B.o.B and the featured artist so it looks like -B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams-. The sort artist field along with album artist and sort album artist field are all only B.o.B.
My problem is that when I sync them onto my iPod all the songs by B.o.B appear under B.o.B feat. Rivers Cumo when I sort by Artist despite this only being the artist for one and all listed with the same format as above. They all also come up with the Artist as B.o.B feat. River Cumo when I play one of the songs.
Is there anyway to fix this so on my iPod they all appear under B.o.B when sorting by Artist but when I play the song it gives me the artist name? I'd prefer not to have to put the featured artist in the song title.

This sometimes happens if your MacBook battery is swollen, and pushes on the underside of the trackpad.
Some users forgot that an alternate input device, like a tablet, does not shut off when set aside -- it continues to provide input at the same time as the mouse you put your hand on.

When is Apple going to fix the problems with FCP and Leopard

Apple,
This is a nightmare.
I wish I never did the upgrade.
It's horrible that Apple released an OSX update that doesn't work with some of the most used Apple applications.
I don't know what I should do.
Compressor doesn't work, export using Quicktime is having problems...and that's just what I've found so far.
When is Apple going to fix this mess?

Did you heed ANY of the warnings that were posted here, on LAFCPUG.org, or the CreativeCow.net? We gave many pointers on what to do before you upgrade, so that if you do run into issues with the new (and you WILL run into issues with the new OS) you could always go back to the stable version.

Apple will fix it when they fix it...that's all we can say. Keep sending in your issues and when they can, they will issue updates.
The rule of thumb is that if you have a good working edit system, don't mess with it. The machine that I use to earn a living, that is still on 10.4.9 and FCP 5.1.4. My laptop, that I use occasionally for editing, but mainly for e-mail, word processing, web surfing, that I updated. And I am testing FCP on this. So far, I am not suffering any issues.
If you backed up your system, you could have gone back to it.

How do I fix rotate issue with thumbnail and full size?

When I look at photos in the thumbnail view the rotation is wrong. When I click and view the photo in full screen mode, the picture auto rotates. This is frustrating and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. I've taken a Youtube screen video to showcase the problem. Any suggestions appreciated!

Using iphoto 11 9.2.1

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails.
If that doesn't help:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Please Please help with JavaScript and Actions

Hello!
Is there a way to perform a saved Action from the Action Pallette using a JavaScript script? I know there is a way to do it with Visual Basic.
Is there a way to run a Visual Basic script from a JavaScript script?(which could be a potential workaround if JavaScript CANNOT call on an Action)
Is there a way to call on a JavaScript from an Action?
Here's specific information on my problem:
I am using Illustrator CS2 on a PC
I have written all of the JavaScript scripts that I need to perform various layer selection procedures and they all work perfectly. I have placed them in the Presets > Scripts folder so that they appear in my file menu.
I wrote a very long action that called on these scripts (using Insert Menu Item > then selecting the script by going File > Scripts) sequentially and did some selecting and copy-pasting and applying graphic styles in between scripts. The Action worked PERFECTLY and ran all the scripts I needed to an automated a process that usually takes me an hour in less than five minutes!
I saved the actions and saved the file.
After closing Illustrator all of the lines of the action that called on scripts disappeared! It seems this is a known bug...I currently know of no workaround.
Can anyone help with any of the following things:
1. Getting actions to SAVE the commands to run javascripts
2. Writing a JavaScript that runs an Illustrator Action
3. Writing a JavaScript that runs a Visual Basic script that runs an Illustrator Action.
I spent three days learning the basics of JavaScript (mostly by trial and error) and successfully wrote all the scripts I needed...I was overjoyed! But now that I've closed illustrator my actions to run said scripts do not work. PLEASE ADVISE!!!
Thanks in advance,
Matthew

try next
1)if possible split JS-code into 2 parts (before/after action)
2)make vbs script with contents
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.3")
appRef.DoJavaScriptFile("C:\my1.js")
appRef.DoScript(Action As String, From As String)
'add wait while ActionIsRunning
appRef.DoJavaScriptFile("C:\my2.js")
3) run vbs (File > Scripts or double-click).

Fixed Layout option in Web Dynpro for Java personalization

Hi,
i've been searching the forums for an answer on the following topic but couldn't find it so far.
We've adjusted the SAP standard Time Reporting WD Java application (version 6.00 SP15) via the Control-Right Mouse button. To fit the screen in most browser windows we've removed some columns and set others to fixed width. It turned out that not all columns would accept the customized width unless the Fixed Layout option was set to Yes (instead of Not Personalized).
So we have set that option and the result is that also the first column (the one where you can click on to select a row) dissapeared. We've upgrade ESS to version 6.03 SP5 and the application no longer works as before. In order to be able to delete lines from the application you need the first column again. And by disabling the Fixed Layout property this column comes back, also the fucntionality but of course the layout gets messed up again.
The questions I have are: what does the Fixed Layout option do? And is it possible to enable the first column without disabling the Fixed Layout property?
Much obliged
Marcel

Hi
Since screens/view will be differ by its resolution
Better to follow the streamline approach to its content (i.e default 100% not 100px).
I didnt find any fixed Layout option but different layout (ROW,FLOW,GRID,MATRIX)
Are you talking about Table Fixed Layout ?

How to view EPUB fixed layout on Ipad

Missing "bookmarks" option in fixed-layout-epub export panel-?

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue exporting a fixed layout epub with bookmarks.
The "Bookmarks" option is not present/visible/showing up in the export options: I only have "none", "file name", "Multi level". But I do have bookmarks in the document.
I had canceled old bookmarks and recreated them, but nothing changed.
I really can't figure out the what the problem is!
Any suggestion will be really appreciated… Thanks.

I understand that you need the newest version (InDesign CC 2014.1) to accomplish what you want with EPUB.
But if you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can download BOTH that version (the current one) AND also install InDesign CC (which came out in 2013), as well as InDesign CS6. All can be installed simultaneously!
As I described above, I think you unintentionally muffed it by installing a trial on top of your installation. Both should be uninstalled.
Then with Creative Cloud install the latest version and make sure it's working.
To download an older version from Creative Cloud, select the Apps menu in the CC application. Scroll down till you see "Filters & Version" In that section, you will see the older versions which you can also install.

Fixed layout ePub - hyperlinks not working?

A question: I am making a fixed layout ePub for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. The file contains lots of text and some graphics and links to a website. However, when I export the fixed layout ePub, all the hyperlinks die. I read from many forums that this is very common and couldn't yet find a way around it.
Is there a way to have a fixed layout ePub WITH working hyperlinks, or this combination not possible with Indesign CC?

They should be working if you've updated InDesign CC 2014 to the latest update (October release):

How to add audio to fixed layout epub

Hi,
I'd like to know if adding audio to a fixed layout epub is possible or planned for InDesign? Specifically for read-aloud books—with highlighting each word. I know this can be done with a painfully manual process in the HTML. However it would be swell if it could be done in InDesign somewhat less excruciatingly slow?
I've read Pariah Burke's book on adding read aloud audio, but now with the new Fixed Layout capability it's out of date. Anyone know of other sources of info on this?
Sue Campbell

The IDs on <span>s are in the update just released yesterday.
When I was leading the EPUB team, I would have said that supporting an SMIL workflow for InDesign was extremely unlikely.
External tools are needed to map the IDs to the audio clips (that's what the SMIL file does) and then it all needs to get packaged up.
ID could do all the packaging of course, but it can't make the SMIL file and until ID does the export you don't know what the IDs are going to be.
So I always suspected that this would always be a post processing step that would have to occur entirely after the export and thus nothing for InDesign to participate in.
I found this book very useful in learning about the SMIL workflow - http://iampariah.com/books/creating-fixed-layout-ebooks - but of course the rest of it (published in 2013) is out of date since we're exporting the FXL from InDesign. There are obviously other sources to talk about how to do this.
I hope that helps.

How can I make a fixed layout illustrated ebook using indesign?

I ave the book ready in Indesign and I have successfully exported it in pdf, but there seems no way to turn it into a successfull kindle format book or a working epub. Everything moves around and the images get small. I am using creative cloud, the amazon pugin does not work and I don't know how to proceed.

Creating fixed layout ePub books is quite complex. This new book might help:
