Animated text not working in SWF preview or exporting SWF file

Hello-
I am animating text so that it appears after a 3 second delay on page load. However, it does not seem to work at all. It worked for a paragraph of text, but it won't work for text that seems to be surrounded by other objects. I tried moving the animated object to the top-most layer, but that did not work.
Animating seems to be quite buggy in InDesign, is this a usual issue?

Are the surrounding objects static or animated? If the objects are animated, perhaps the animated text is waiting for these objects to complete their effect. And the effects could be set with a long transition time. When working with many animated elements, the timing panel helps with the order that effects will happen.

  • Animation will not work on when previewing in Folio builder

    I have created a simple animation in Edge Animate, but when I place it in InDesign and preview it only displays the poster image. When clicked it fades to nothing.
    This is the process I followed thus far:
    Created shapes  in illustrator and saved it as a SVG.
    Imported SVG in Edge animate, made a simple animation of the shapes getting larger and made a poster snap
    Gone to publish settings
    Ticked Animate Deployment Package and saved in Target direectory .\publish\animate_package
    In indesign placed the edge .oam file in
    gone to the folio builder and gone to preview > preview on desktop

    When preparing a demo we had a similar experience. We animated an SVG file from Illustrator in Edge Animate.
    The preview looked fine in a Browser.
    From InDesign, the placed OAM package would not play in the Desktop Content Viewer, did not  play on a connected iPad and did not play when it was exported with the Folio Builder in the iPad Content Viewer.
    I renamed the .oam file to .zip and unzipped it.
    In the resulting folder you will find an Assets folder with an .html file.
    I created a Web overlay in InDesign and selected the .html file from the Assets folder (and set the Autoplay checkbox)
    The preview in the Desktop Content Viewer showed nothing, but the animation played on a directly connected iPad and when exported from the Folio Builder in the iPad Content Viewer.
    I tried also to use the html export version from Edge Animate, but that does not work.
    The animation needs 2 javascripts that are included in a folder "edge_includes" in the OAM file (and in the "Assets" folder), but that folder is missing and they are only referenced from the web in the exported html from Edge Animate and that does not seem to load in the folio.
    So it can work with a little effort: unzip the .oam file and use the html from the Assets folder.

  • My text animations are not working.

    My text animations are not working. I highlight my text, go to animations and it won't even let me
    apply an animation. the apply button is not clickable. How do I fix this?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
    It is most likely that you are trying to apply the text animations to more than one line of text.
    You can apply text animation to more than one line of text in the project's Titler but it takes special considerations.
    Please review the how to details in the following.
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/07/pe-titler-part-1-text-animations.html
    Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification on the how to, please do not hesitate to ask.
    We will be watching for your reply and will get your text animation in the project's Titler working for you.

  • InDesign DPS: Simple animation does not work in folio?

    I'm building a simple recipe app using InDesign CS6, using the Digital Publishing tools.
    On one page I applied an animation, "fly in from bottom" to an object.
    When I eventually build the folio and view it on my ipad with the Adobe Content Viewer, the animation does not work on that page.
    I've watched a couple tutorials on how to use the animation tools, how to set the path, etc. but none of them mention any other steps for getting the animation to work once you build the folio.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks!

    Okay, I'm gonna try helping out on this....  I don't think layers have any effect on this, or at least I haven't noticed they do, the just help keep you organized and maybe for arrangment...
    So....
    You can just lock the background, it isn't involved, it is just the background.
    1. Make your button to open/start the sequence and make your finished state and an empty box.  In this case the button the button is just a text frame.  The finished state is a shape, text frame and two lines grouped (to make an "x" for the close button).  In your case it will be your image sequence and the button to close it.  Have all the elements of the finished state grouped.
    2. Select both groups.  In the object states panel, hit the new button.  you should now have a multistate object with two states.  One empty state and one state with your sequence, etc..
    3. Now select your open button.  In the button panel, choose the add action button "+" and choose Got to State (or go to next state) and make sure the object is the multistate object you just created.  For the state, choose the state with your sequence.
    4. Now select your multistate object.  In the object states panel choose the state with your image sequence and close button.  Select your close button.  Go to the buttons panel and add an action to go back to the empty state.
    Test it out, it should work fine now.  I don't have an image sequence handy, but you may have to mess with the autoplay settings, etc.  but it should work just fine.
    Notes of interest:  As buttons display only as raster on an iPad, I find it best to make a clear button on top of the button graphic.  That way the button can be vector. and the clear box becomes raster.
    I really, really reccomend watching some of the videos on Adobe TV, they explain and review a bunch of this.  Also, there is an app called DPS Tips App by Bob Bringhurst for free on the Apple Store, he explains all the goodies quite well.  You can also use Wallaby to convert indesign animation to flash and then HTML5, but that gets more complicated and it can also have a load delay. Good Luck!

  • Why is predictive text not working on my iPhone 5s anymore

    Why is predictive text not working on my iphone anymore

    Actually, I just found the answer to my issue in this thread: The type correct/predict function for mail and text in iOS 8.0.2 was working fine then suddenly disappeared and reverted to the old style. I've checked all settings that seemed appropriate. How do I restore? I actually liked the new version. 
    Which says "a thin gray bar with a white dash in the middle of it immediately above the keyboard, you can reopen the suggestions by sliding up with one finger on the white dash." 
    That did it.
    I too have noticed a change, it seems with the new IOS update. My Predictive setting is on, but it seems before it would come up more often in predicting words and also give me a few choices. Now, it's not coming up as much and only providing one 'predictive' word which is not always right. This change is not very useful.

  • This animation will not work, neither does embeded youtube videos

    So this site https://www.navo.navy.mil/cgi-bin/animate.pl/metoc/74/84/0-0-17/0 animation does
    not work (in either FF or Safari on mac, works great on any browser on xp).
    Anyone know why???
    Also, if I try to look at a embeded youtube video it shows a black screen unless I scroll so that the
    video is partially blocked (top or bottom).
    Anyone?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Animation does not work in Google Chrome

    I was using Chrome as my defualt for testing my Edge projects. At some point, I changed the way divs were stacked and animated the position of one of the divs and the animation never worked thereafter. That said, It works fine in Firefox and Safari. Anyone have any insights as to what could be the problem?
    Is there anything I can provide that will give better clarity to this issue?
    Here is a link to the project:
    http://aaronjames.me/sandbox/menu-icon/menu-icon.html

    Yes,
    The animation is not working on google chrome on my device.
    Could be because of publish setiings.

  • Css3 animation does not work when triggerd by backing bean method

    Hi,
    I use Jdev 11.1.1.4 (but I guess the Jdev/ADF version does not matter in this case) and Firefox 15.0.1.
    I tested some parts of article https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/css_animations_the_panel_flip from Duncan Mills.
    The CSS3 animation for styleClass "rotateOut" works fine when I trigger it from mouse hover.
    The problem is that the animation does not work when I set the styleclass in a backing bean.
    In this case the UI component to rotate (in my case the calender component) changes immediatelly to the transition target without the transition-duration of 2 seconds and therefor there is no animation effect visible for the user.
    Here the backing bean code:
        public void doRotate() {
           afCalender.setStyleClass("rotateOut");
           AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(getAfCalender());
        }Here the skin:
      .rotateOut {
        -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
        -moz-transition-delay: 2s;
        -moz-transform: rotateY(45deg);
        -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
        -moz-transition-duration: 2s;
      .rotateReturn {
        -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
        -moz-transform: rotateY(0deg);
        -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
        -moz-transition-duration: 2s;
      }In Duncan's article java script is used to change the style class.
    Does the CSS3 animation only work when java script is used to change the style class or shoud java in a backing bean also work?
    Any hints?
    regards
    Peter

    I have tested several other settings but no success.
    Any ideas?
    regards

  • Pick activity is not working properly while creating two or more file adapt

    Hi,
    pick activity is not working properly while creating two or more file adapter for bpel process.
    bpel process compiled and deployed succesfully but while observing the wsdl file of deployed process you can find only one file adapter. so it polls only from that location.
    can anybody help on over this? or it's limitation of jdev to use only one file adapter at time while using Pick.
    Thanks

    Does anybody tried this?

  • My edge animation is not working on Google chrome

    Hi Newton ,
    Can you try out one thing. We suspect this issue is caused because of the anti-scaling which we apply.
    Just try to disable anti scaling.Follow the steps below : 
    This scale factor can be changed from:
    1. Close Animate
    2. Open the preference folder:
    a. Windows: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Edge Animate\4.0.0\
    b. Mac: /Users/{username}/Library/Prefrences/Adobe/EdgeAnimate/4.0.0/
    3. Open the AppPrefs.xml file in a text editor.
    4. Search for the Current line in AppPrefs.xml:
    <key>SvgAntiScaleFactor</key>
    <float>10</float>
    Update this to:
    <key>SvgAntiScaleFactor</key>
    <float>1</float>
    5. Launch Animate.
    However note: This setting will work only for new animate content that you create after this setting is applied - i.e it will work only for newly pasted SVG’s in a new composition.
    Exiting Animate compositions opened after applying the setting(Step 5 above) will still show the same problem. You will need to delete the SVG and copy-paste again.
    Do let us know if this solution helps in your case too.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Animation will not work in Firefox.  It works in Safari.

    I created an animation and uploaded it to wordpress.com.  Using Firefox, I went to the website to play the animation.  But the animation wouldn't appear.  I checked it again using the Safari browser.  And the animation appeared and it worked fine.  Why will it not work in Firefox?  I uploaded the newest version of Adobe Flash and installed it.  And I have the most recent version of Firefox on my Mac computer.  Will someone fix my problem please?  Thank you.

    Hello.  Thank you for the information.  I checked if the flash plugin is activated in the Firefox browser using your instructions.  And it is active.  The problem seems to occur with all of the flash containing web pages in my wordpress site.  My art machine animation and other animations on the site do not appear when the pages load.  I checked other websites containing swf file animations and they work.
    I'm providing the information that you suggested.  And it is as follows...
    Operating System:  OSX Yosemite, version 10.10.3
    Web Browsers:  Safari, version 8.0.5 (10600.53.17)
                                      Firefox, version 37.0.2
                                      Chrome, version 42.0.2311.90
    Problem:  In my wordpress.com website, none of the .swf flash files will appear using the Firefox nor Chrome browsers.  But they do in the Safari browser.
    Direct link to the problem sites are as follows:  Firefox- 3 Art Machine | Nora Christians
                   Chrome- 3 Art Machine | Nora Christians
                   Safari- 3 Art Machine | Nora Christians
    The code that I used to upload the .swf file to wordpress.com is the same for all three browsers.  I didn't write any different codes for any specific browser.

  • Animation Bullets Not Working-Captivate 4.0

    Please Help.....This is Captivate 4.0
    I have some Animation Bullets on a few of my slides.  They will appear if I conduct a preview of just the slide.  However, if I preview more than one slide or send the project out to review they do not appear.  I have some other animations and they work just fine.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in Advance!

    Hi,
    You can encounter problems if objects in your project use a different  actionscript version to the project itself. Could this be your problem?
    The actionscript settings for your project can be seen in the Publish > Preferences dialog. The actionscript version for the bullets can be seen in the Properties for the object.
    Hope that helps,

    +1 on that. I completely agree with you Nancy. But whats funny is most schools today have this as part of their syllabi which is a shame. I saw this high-end web technologies school whose motto is 'We shape the developers of tomorrow.' that does not have HTML5 or CSS3 as part of their Semester 1 or 2 but has Flash in 3 semesters. Whats more ironic is they're not even teaching game development (one domain where Flash may still survive) but their syllabi consists of Flash Website development! Lol!
    Like they say, What kids learn in college in their 1st year is already outdated by the time they enter their 4th year, thanks to ever-evolving technology!
