it did't come up with any animation ....meanwhile ....the overlay creator 's action like pan and zoom work well...
is there any method can solve it ?

Hello Cube S JK
I'm currently dealing with this problem as well.
it seems the "preview" screen in indesign is just the flash-export preview and not the folio export preview.
If you want to do a folio preview hit the preview buton in the folio menu.
the animation menu is a menu filled with options and "tweens" for swf exports not for exports to adobe folio.
you could try to make animated objects using html 5 and add them as html content....
BUT: for as far as I can read the forums there seem to be problems with animations in html 5 content as well
And the .gif option doesn't work to since your folio gets exported in either jpg, png or pdf format.
I'm going to contact Adobe to allow users like you and me to add these so called tweens to folio publications, but as of yet there is no way to make animations for your digital magazines or books other than the standard things (360 degree spin and such)

  • 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!

  • 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.
    regards,
    Ton

  • My flash animation won't work when I preview my webiste in the browser.

    I am using Dreamweaver CS6. I have inserted a flash animation file into my website that I created in Flash. And it plays just fine in the design part of Dreamweaver.

    +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!

  • 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 not playing in folio preview

    Hi, I have created a document in InDesign and added animation using the 'Interactive - Animation' option, but when I create a folio, the animation isnt playing in the folio preview? Is there any tips to get the animation working in folio preview?

    You have apparently done no research at all on this topic. I urge you to stop right now and read all of the DPS documentation which includes a list of which InDesign features are and more importantly aren't supported in DPS. Hint: Aninimation are not supported.
    Please post followups in the DPS forum.

  • Folio preview does not work!! since Mandatory Folio Builder Panel update!

    hi everyone
    my grafic team told me that the folio preview in indesign does not work anymore since the required folio builder panel update!
    working on mac and cs 5
    please help
    best regards michael

    I just spoke with a member of our team and they were able to reproduce this issue: invoking folio preview from the file menu brings up an empty panel instead of launching the desktop preview tool. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! There are two ways you can work around this and get the desktop preview application up with your content:
    1) Use the preview button in the Folio Builder panel (this will preview the entire folio)
    2) Use the preview button in the Overlay Creator panel (this will preview the active InDesign document)
    This problem only affects CS5 and CS5.5. If you are on CS6 the menu will work correctly.

  • Folio Preview NOT working

    Hi - I am running window 7 64bit and adobe could services for all required adobe applications.
    InDesign is installed and the "Folio Preview" is not working. I have tried the "Preview", "Preview on Desktop" from "Folio Overlays" and the "Folio Preview" from the "File" menu, but get the same result. I have looked for the content viewer and noticed that it ins not installed. Please help!

    Here's my response to a similar issue on another thread:
    Are you on Windows or a Mac? I'm going to assume Mac for now:
    1) Check and make sure the Adobe Content Viewer shows in your Applications folder. If it does, run it and then try previewing again.
    2) If it's installed but preview still doesn't work try fixing up the file type assocation for .folio. See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4617478.
    3) If it isn't installed try installing it from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6/ContentViewer/Adob eContentViewer.air
    If you are on Windows the location for the install in step 3 is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\AdobeDigitalPublishingCS6\ContentViewer\AdobeC ontentViewer.air"

  • Edge.oam animation file not working in Muse

    Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    I've created an edge animation, published an .oam file and placed it on a Muse wepage (no prob).
    Preview in Muse works beautifully.
    Preview in browser from Muse works beautifully.
    Export Muse to HTML and Edge animation not displaying – looked at the code, shows an iframe with link to edge html, but just not working.
    ...help please

    Someone please help me with this... I dont understand where the src path should point to when updated? Can you give an example path. I am not using edge animate but instead HYPE 3 which is relatively the same thing, exports html animations as an OAM or html file. When I use the OAM in muse it previews fine in browser and in Muse. But when I publish it shows a blank box. I looked at the code and see the iframe pointing to assets/example/example.html.
    I've tried exporting the Muse file as HTML after I've placed the OAM widget in Muse.. Then I navigate to the assets file and open the HTML file and try and locate the iframe code line but it does NOT exist. But if i Publish the site with Muse and OAM widget and use the developers tools I can see the iframe. After that I've tried going through filezilla to the assets folder and opening the HTML file but still NO iframe code line exists. I only find src for .js code.
    PLEASE HELP... would really like to integrate these animations into my projects.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Urgent: File Folio Preview opens an empty "Folio Preview" panel (ID CS 5.5)

    Hi!
    I just updated The Folio Builder panel, and the command File > Folio Preview does not send the document to the Content Viewer as usual, but opens a new panel called Folio Preview ..., which remains empty.
    I can preview documents as usual using the Preview button at the bottom of the Overlay Creator panel, but not using the menu command. There is a check mark next to the Folio Preview command on the File menu when the panel remains open. (Doing some searches on this forum, there seemed to be a similar problem last October, but I would have thought it should be solved by now.)
    I'm experiencing this problem on both my PC running Windows 7 and my MacBook Pro running Mac OS. (Both laptops are running the Norwegian version of the repective OS.)
    I can work around the problem using the Overlay Creator panel, but if anybody has an explanation and/or solution I would be very grateful. I'm starting a two day course teaching DPS tomorrow, so this is rather urgent.
    Best regards,
    Tom
    PS. I'll try to upload a screen shot shortly to clarify the situation.

    Here's a screen shot (Windows, the Mac version looks and acts identical):
    And here's the version I'm using. Just installed FolioPanel-CS55-12.2.2.1
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

  • Works in Flash preview, but not on webpage?

    I'm using this code to externally load a .swf into my site. I made sure all the files were uploaded. I'm sure, because I can even find the .swf on the site, it just won't show up on the main page. (for example, I can find it at www.mysite.com/flashfolder/animation.swf, but not in it's place at www.mysite.com)
    Here's the code I'm using:
    createEmptyMovieClip("anim", 0);
    anim.loadMovie("animation.swf");
    anim._x = 156;
    anim._y = 515;
    It's inserted into the actions panel of a new layer in the main Scene 1 timeline in my .fla project. It works when I preview it (ctrl+enter), but when I upload everything to the site, it doesn't show up?
    Anyone know what may cause/why this is happening?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Is the file that is loading animation.swf also in the same folder?

  • Output preview works only when preview dialogue box is open?

    The output preview setting certainly takes effect, but only when the output preview dialogue box is open, so that accurately previewing images in reading mode is not possible; it's only possible to see a preview by going to an image and opening the OP dialogue box. As soon as the OP dialogue box is closed, the image reverts back to its pre-preview state. This can't be right!

    Thanks for your feedback. I had tried to navigate with the dialogue box open using the "hand", which didn't work; I see now that you can still go from page to page with the box open using either keyboard command or menu arrows.
    I was actually incorrect in referring to "reading mode"; I meant to say "full screen" mode. And again, since the cursor doesn't act as a cursor but rather as a pinpoint when the dialogue box is open, I incorrectly assumed that all navigation (including full screen mode) was disabled. This, I now see, is not the case.
