Anchoring an object within a scrollable frame

Hi there,
I am trying to create a page that scrolls horizontally through a series of images. I am able to do this but I am having trouble anchoring my company logo so that it does not move when I scroll through the images. I have seen on apps that this is possible... can someone give me some advice?
Thanks!

Turn your company logo into a two-state MSO that's set to Auto Play and Stop At Last Image. Put the logo MSO on top of your scrollable frame, and you'll be able to scroll the frame behind the logo. Let us know if that works, or if you're looking for a different effect.

Anchored text box within a text frame

I'm struggling to find the correct anchored option to allow an anchored text box to sit under a paragraph block with a 4pt space after. What I need is to edit the paragraph above. If the copy runs onto more lines I want the box to drop down as the extra line increase (to keep in the flow).
Also, I may need to increase the amount of copy inside the anchored text box. When I pull the depth of the anchored box down, the whole anchored box shoots up. The space after the above paragraph has lost its spacing.
Can anyone explain the best way to anchor a box which could change in depth but keep the same spacing between each block of text?
Thanks

You have two choices, use auto for the leading on the paragraph that contains the inline/above line frame (and you can set the autoleading percentage in the Justification settings so it calculates the same value as your fixed leading for that size type if you don't want to use a different paragraph style) and ID will adjust the leading to the largest "character" in a line -- the anchored frame, or you can use a custom anchored frame and set the offsets and text wrap.
In this case, I think the inline/above line option is preferable as it will push the anchoed frame to the next column if necessary, and it's a lot easier to set up.

Hyperlinks within scrollable frames

I'm trying to get hyperlinks within a scrollable text frame to work but it's not working properly in the content viewer. Is it possible to do them within scrollable content, and if so, is there a certain technique that works best? Thanks!

Sorry -- I've created a scrollable content layer that works properly, just with text scrolling down. I've selected the text and created a hyperlink using the hyperlinks panel (that works for the text in non-scrollable frames). When I view the issue in the Content Viewer on the iPad, the hyperlinks outside the scrollable frames work fine and open, but those within the scrollable frames do not. Is there a specific way I should be creating the hyperlinks within the scrollable frames that I'm not doing correctly? Thanks.

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.

Problem with V19 Scrollable Frame

I have a magazine that worked find on V18 of producer tools, since I upgraded to V19 I am having ptoblems.
I have a standard page size 2048x1536 (iPad 3), and I have the whole page set as a scrollable frame with a background placed behind it. Then all my content for the page is pasted into the scrollable frame which runs much lower than the 2048 page length. You can then scroll the page within the scrollable frame rather than having a long page to scroll down. This also creates a nice layering effect where the content moves on top of a static background.
This worked fine for me on V18 producer tools, but now when I load my magazine onto my iPad, I'm scrolling through articles and when I hit the page with the scrollable frame you can no longer scroll left or right and you're stuck on the page...
Any idea how I can fix this as I have a client that has seen and likes the layering effect? Last thing I want to do is have to remove it and just make a long page.

Which totally sucks, BTW.
If you use JPG or PNG then it works but you lose the razor sharp text and pinch and zoom that PDF provides.
I really don't get this one, either. Especially since the scrollable frames option gives you the ability to make it vertical only. That should eliminate any "confusion" as to which way to you want to scroll and which way you want to swipe.

Scrollable Frame issue on iPad 'Adobe Viewer'

I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue when previewing a folio with the iPad viewer.
The issue is when I have a full (or even part) page scrollable frame on a page and once I have vertically swiped/scrolled to the end of the scrollable frame, then the next vertical swipe seems to stick much more than usual and requires a much longer/sustained swipe to get it to move on to the next page.
This issue is only occuring when previewing a folio on the iPad viewer. It behaves as expected (short normal swipes) when previewed on the Desktop 'Content Viewer'. It also behaves as expected when simply previewing from the Folio Overlays panel – both on the Desktop viewer and iPad viewer. It also behaves if I import the article as PNG format into a folio, however I am requiring vector quality/display for this project so can't ignore the issue.
It also does not fix the issue to select 'raster' rather than 'vector' in export options within the 'scrollable frame' folio overlay panel.
My first thought was that maybe this is just a quirk of the iPad viewer, but the fact that the behaviour works in most other scenarios has me guessing. Maybe i am missing something somewhere which may explain this. I see the use of Scrollable Frames in this manner within many apps (in vector/PDF) without experiencing this issue, hence why I am leaning towards it being a quirk of the viewer when as a folio with a PDF scrollable frame.
I am using the latest viewers (Desktop and iPad app). The folio's tested trying to resolve this issue have been in both v26 and v27. Using InDesign CS6 on Mac. Same issue happens whether iPad is horizontal or vertical.
Please let me know if you need any further details on my setup or what i have been testing if that will help.
Thanks
Ross

i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload

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?

Reset Scrollable Frame

Is it possible to include a button within a Scrollable Frame that resets the frame back to it's initial setting? I'm wanting to include a "back to top" button at the end of text in a scrollable frame.
For a big workaround, I duplicated the frame, made a 2-state MSO, and the "back to top" button was set to "Next State," and the MSO switch naturally reset the frame so the top of text was back. But this seems a bit messy...

I think you pretty much nailed the workaround. Pretty clever.

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.

Anchored objects into scrollable frame?

Good evening,
is it possible to link a button to another page in a precise point in a scrollable frame?
Many thanks!

No. Page navigation is about as precise as you can get.

How do I apply style within a text frame linked object

I'm selecting the text frame in the object I want to apply an object style
A script can be written
within a text frame the linked object (selected text frame)
how object style is applied

Hi
All you need is
app.selection[0].appliedObjectStyle = app.activeDocument.objectStyles.itemByName ("Trevors Object Style");
The below snippet will apply the style to all the anchored objects in the selection or document
var doc = app.properties.activeDocument,
    myOnjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.itemByName ("Trevors Object Style"),
    myObjects, l;
if (!myOnjectStyle.isValid) {
    alert ("Either add an Object Style Called:\nTrevors Object Style\nOr Make Significant Changes to The Script");
    quit ();
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "^a";
myObjects = (app.selection && app.selection[0]).findText () || doc.findText ();
l = myObjects.length;
while(l--) myObjects[l].textFrames[0].appliedObjectStyle = myOnjectStyle;

Is it possible to select an anchored object in a text frame in InDesign in a script?

I would like to know if it is possible to write a script to select an anchored object in a text frame. All the scripts I have found so far do not work on anchored object.

Hyperlinked button in scrollable frame not working

Hi all,
I'm working on a multi-article folio. The first article includes a scrollable frame that contains a group made up of one image and two buttons.
One of those buttons works correctly; that is, it is a mailto that brings up an email client when clicked.
The other button should open a web page in a separate window. However, when I click this button, I get the following error message:
Cannot Open Page
This page cannot be opened because of a error.
The error is "A server with the specified hostname could not be found." (-1003).
The odd thing is that another button in the second article that links to the exact same URL *does* work correctly. That article does not use scrollable frames; instead, the button is on top of an image sequence. I have very carefully copied and pasted the URL from the button that does work to the button that does not work. No joy.
Here's a screenshot of the first article that shows the non-functioning button outlined in a blue frame:
I am using InDesign CS6 (version 8.0) and Folio Builer
12.2.4.20120611_m_691037 8.0.7.21 .
Your help is much appreciated!

It happened to me too and the only workaround was that I copied the hyperlink text and created a separated text box and pasted the link.
I then made that textbox "fot frame to content". After that I created a button out of it and assigned the URL for it. After all this I pasted the button in the text as text object.
Here is a screenshot. This text was within scrollable frame

Scrollable Frame issues

scrollabe frames create dead space making it unable to flip to the next page
PLEASE HELP

I think I have had the same problem. I created two horizontal pull out tabs, the first one was the largest content frame, taking up a full half of a page vertically, and contained a vertically scrollable frame within. It was set behind the second frame which took up the full width of the page but only the lower quarter. I discovered two things: the upper, smaller content frame made the vertical scrollable frame within the other content frame have a smaller 'scrollable area' so you could only scroll where the other frame didn't exist (even though it is not visible). Also, the whole page navigation (moving from page to page, either up/down or sideways) was now limited to a small area in the top left corner where neither content frame existed. Needless to say the client was not happy and they have now become object states instead in order to maintain use of the whole page for navigation, as most people would use the lower right corner to swipe.
