Animated TOC in edge and DPS

I'd like to create a animated TOC in Edge and import in in indesign.
How can I link indesign pages/bookmark/article in Adobe Edge?
thanks
rob

Thanks, I know how to create animation in Edge and Import in Indesign. What I don't understand is how to use my animation as a menu / index / toc for idesign page.
I guess it involve some scripting that indesign can understand, like an anchor/link (on Edge) that goes to a page/article in Indesign.
Is it possible?

Is there a known bug when animating images with edge and dps?

Hi, I've seen some oddities when using edge to create html5 elements for Indesign. Essentially I have spent hours trying to get an image to scroll from left to right. Works fine in a browser and worked fine in dps and iPad yesterday. Using the same setup: the stage in edge is 768x1024 I then animate a large image in the x axis 0 to -500 over 6 secs, I then apply a ease in and out. I then save the HTML, and publish for dps. Within dps I goto file > place and select the published file that edge generates for dps. I then update and preview either in desktop or iPad - the file loads but the animation does not play.
Weirdly if I follow the exact same steps but add some other bits of animation ie drawing a square and moving it, the animation plays. If I open an existing file I.e your inbuilt tutorial files, delete the content and redo the image animation it works, it's only in a new project that it doesn't preview or play in iPad?
Another issue I have is when it does load the animation doesn't load in that well and shows most of the bottom and then after a .5sec the rest of it loads. so it's a vbit scrappy - any suggestions?

Thanks,
To give you a bit more info, we used my bosses computer and he was able to recreate the same issue with the animation not loading. however if we change the process by using the rectangular frame tool and using the web content folio overlay it works, and inserting the HTMLResources.zip. However we noticed that the animation did not run smoothly, very jerky like the ipad was struggling. I've now corrected this, by changing the properties of the image within edge from div to img. This seem to have worked nicely.
So there are some weird things going on, more so around the publishing function within edge.
Many thanks

Mixing Edge and Muse

So I am new with edge and so far has not been so hard since is similar with flash. So here is my problem. I created some animated buttons on flash and integrated them to Muse. Easy... but since flash is a problem with devices such as ipad was wondering if I could do the animated buttons on edge and insert them on my Muse site. I know I can just do it static, generate the html and animate it... BUT... the same button is pretty much on ALL my pages so Muse has the very handy thing of creating master pages which are very handy but not published. So is any tutorial about this?
Thanks

Hello,
In Muse as of now you cannot add a hyperlink on a Muse animation. However there are two workarounds for you :
1) As you mentioned, add interactivity to the animation in Edge and then import it into Muse.
2) The other option is to import the animation in Muse and then add a transparent rectangle on top of it. Then you can add the hyperlink/interactivity to that rectangle. It will seem o work like it is working for the animation.
To achieve this please follow the steps below :
1) Import the Edge animation (.oam file) on page in Muse.
2) Place the animation according to the requirement on the page.
3) Now add a rectangle to the page and set the size of rectangle exactly equal to the dimentions of your Muse animation.
4) With rectangle selected, Click on the dropdown which is just right to "Fill" at the top on the toolbar.
5) It will give you some color options, select the first option which is of white color with a red diagonal line on it (which means no color:transparent).
6) Now place the rectangle exactly on top of the animation. And you can add the hyperlinks to this rectangle.
This way the Edge animation is also visible and when clicked on it, the hyperlink also works via rectangle.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin

Multiple animations in iBooks and DPS - interfering

I have embedded multiple edge animations into iBooks and DPS. Howeve I keep running into an issue where one or more animations will not start after i have started another then move on to a different page. When i reload the book or adobe viewer then the animation that would not start runs fine but then others won't run. Individually they all run fine but when embedded together they start stalling out. I'm using edge 1.0 and CS6 indesign and lateset iBooks author.
Any ideas?
Pretty frustrating - I have a published iBook and I have to tell users to reload ibooks in order to get each animation to run. They are not complex animations.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, folks-
I just wanted to circle back and let you guys know that we addressed this issue in today's release of 1.0.1. Give it a whirl and let us know how it works!

Edge animation works in browser preview from edge and muse but not in chrome when published

I have an Edge animation that worked fine in Chrome, Safari and IE.
The last time I published my Muse site (To BC) again (since update to CC2014) it no longer worked in Chrome!
Preview in browser (Chrome) from edge works, preview in browser (Chrome) from Muse works, publish and it doesn't work in Chrome (but does in Safari and IE).
Have been trawling for possibilities but I'm not that web techy! Any help would be appreciated

I don't remember specifically what fixed it at all as I'd done all of the following:
Removed Muse and Edge and prefs
Updated Muse and Edge
trashed cache in Chrome
copied the contents of the Edge project / stage into a new project and saved as cc2014 version
re-published the whole site from Muse
After many attempts it started working again but I can't say that it was one thing in particular - sorry about that.

Adobe Edge in DPS: size issue in fullpage animation

hello
if i make a fullpage animation 1024*768 in edge
and import it
it works
BUT
the problem is that if something ion the animation went "outside" the 1024*768 in Edge, then indesign understands that you can go further in iPads dimensions
Exemple: i got a flying object that gets out of the screen, so in my animation at the end it has to be out of the 1024*768 original box right ?
then when i import the html through overlay creator panel in a 1024*768 rectangle it's fine but when i go to the ipad, if my finger moves to the right (where my flying object went), then it does a swipe from the overflow dimensions in some kinf of blank page
is that normal ?

I'm having a hard time picturing this. Can you post the actual Edge file that you're placing?
Edit: If you're using CS6 you place the OAM file. For earlier file you would indeed need to link to the HTML.
In either case if the stage is 1024x768 there shouldn't be an issue.

Create iOS app using edge animate and DPS

I was investigating the potential for using edge animate compositions and digital publishing suite to create single edition iOS apps.
After some trial and error I have been able to create a basic iOS app for kids, using EA and DPS. The app was approved and placed in the app store. See the below link:
https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=786031451&mt=8
For future reference do you have specific documentation/guidelines on using EA compositions to create DPS single edition apps? I was hoping to get a better understanding of the potential for using html5 compositions in iOS apps (and limitations).

Hi, Andrew-
What specifically are you looking for? It's unclear if you're looking for best practices or other documentation. Thanks,

Loop between animation on edge and external slider

pd. Sorry for my bad english :)

Hi,
I usually just add the Reverse Proxy and Edge SAN's to the same public cert, but thats just me. There is no problem using a cert across Edge and a separate cert across RP. If you do, remember to mark the cert as exportable when requesting.
Edge Public Cert
The easiest way to do this is to add a multi-server Edge pool in the Topology builder. Add your Edge servers to this pool. You will find that when running through step 3 of the Deployment Wizard the cert SAN's will be populated with the Pool FQDN's for access,
Web Conf and AV.
You dont need to add access1 and access2 etc.
So perhaps your Edge cert will look more like this:-
Public Edge Cert
SN
-access.const.com
SAN
-access.const.com
-sip.const.com
-conf.const.com
I would just add the Reverse Proxy SAN's to that as follows:-
SAN
webext.const.com
meet.const.com
dialin.const.com
Lyncdiscover.const.com
You will see that I dropped all the .local entries. This is no longer permitted (.local on a public cert).
What else is required externally?
Public DNS, unless your DMZ DNS is resolving queries from the internet it won't do.

Adobe Animate and DPS

Hey guys,
Heres my little problem; I have two objects animated in Animate, when I load 1 into DPS, it plays fine but when I put two (which i need), only one plays, whichever gets touched first and the other one freezes and doesnt do anything.
here is what ive tried:
set both to auto-play with a delay of .125 or above that and set auto-play on Animate Doc.
set only auto-play (.125 delay or more) on the web overlay only
set auto-play only on Animate Doc.
set the doc on Animate to play only onTouch (action)
tried to use Aimation Panel int he overlays but it only supports flash, which i think that will cause the same conflict.
none have work, only one works, whichoever the user touches first. is there any known issues with Animate and DPS?
thanks in advance for the help!

Instead of placing the OAM file, publish the Edge Animate project to
HTML and use the web content overlay to link to that.

My animation will not work in DPS CC 2014

I have made a simple animation using EDGE and it imports the OAM file but never works in the Digital Publishing Suite when I view the Folio.
Any wisdom on this? Thanks.

Hey Manigandan,
The animation works fine in the HTML version. After importing to InDesign and then testing on the Content Viewer, it shows no animation or just shows up as a black square.
This was built using CC2014.1
I do not have a lot of experience with either Edge Animate or DPS - working a proof of concept for how DPS can work and found myself blocked by this.
Thanks for your advice.

Using Edge for DPS

Hello,
I am a graphic designer and my coding skills are average if not under average.. adobe edge gave me a great chance to practice some way to bring graphics alive..
all i need is simple workflow guidance for using edge with dps.
Thanks,

Hi Mohammed,
Here are a few good resources on importing Edge .oam, into InDesign/DPS:

EDGE and HTML dynamic text in a "box" with scroll bar

I'm new to EDGE, a win7pro master collection cs5.5 suite owner. I'm mainly in the Film/Video post production field (mostly AE, PPro, Pshop, IA) but have been branching into web design the last couple of years. I use Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash. While I'm a expert user with all the Film/video apps, I would say I only have intermediate ability with the web apps. While I understand a lot of programing logic bulding blocks I'm not a coder.
So since we're told "flash is dead", my interest in Edge is to try to do some of the things that I can currently do in flash in EDGE. I was excited when Edge first came out but lost interest when it became obvious that Adobe was not going to offer Edge and Muse to "suite owners" but only in their force feeding of the "Cloud". Better known as the "golden goose" for adobe stockholders and a never ending perpetual hole in the pocket for users. Anyway....
I spent the last couple of days doing some of the tuts and messing with the UI. It's matured a lot since I was here last.
I've been working on a flash site for a sports team where one of the pages is a player profile page where college recuriters and other interested parties can view recuriting relavent info/stats about players. This is how it works. While on the "Team" page a users clicks on a button labled "Player Profiles" . (Animation) A "page" flies in and unfurls from the upper right corner (3d page flips effect created in AE played by flash as a frame SEQ). Once it lands filling most of the center of the screen there is a bright flash. As the brightness fades we see the "page" is a bordered box with a BG image of a ball field(End). (Animation) from behind the border in fly small pictures (player head shots with name and jersey number). They stream in and form a circle like a wagon train and the team logo zooms up from infinity to the center of the circle(End). As the user mouses over a player's pic it zooms up a little and gets brighter (like mouseover image nav thumbs for a image slider). If the user clicks on a player's head shot it flips over and scales up to become a text box with a scrollbar. The content of the box is a mix of images, static and dynamic text fields populated from data in an "player info data base" XML file, and some hyperlinks. It's all kept updated dynamicaly with current stats, info and images from the XML file. There is also a "PDF" button that allows the user to open/save/print a PDF of the player's profile (the PDF's are static files for now but the choice of which pdf to retrive is dynamicaly supplied via the XML file.
So.... Is Edge now able to do something like this? Would it need to be a collection of small animations? could these be "assembled" and connected as an asset in dreamweaver ?
I thought I would approach this from the end (ie click on an image and display a box with dynamic TEXT fileds. ) since that is the most important part, ie displaying the dynamicaly updated profile info. Sooooo....
Can Edge display a scrolling text box with Images, static text, and html dynamic text in it??

Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

not natively. edge exports html and javascript files, not video files, or frames.
however, you could use a third-party program that has a video screenshot function and make one that way.

Adobe Edge to DPS help

I'm trying to create an animation in Adobe Edge that can be controlled by swipe/finger, not an auto-play, when exported to Adobe DPS. Is this possible? Are there any good tutorials/code snippets out there that would make this possible? Thanks!

Hey Bob,
Thanks! I'll give it a shot. Just out of curiosity, is what I'm talking about possible in Edge or is it only exportable as an auto-play animation?
