Animations Not Playing

I am working in Flash CS4 and am having an issue with my animations. I create a simple tween and press the enter key to play the animation but it does not play. Instead the enter key just toggles the timeline scrubber on and off. When I play the SWF file there is no animation either. If I manually scrub through the timeline the animation appears to be playing correctly. I am simply placing a box on the stage and moving it from left to right using a classic tween. I have tried shutting down and restarting my PC but that does not work. This just started today and was working fine up until today. I am unaware of having made any changes to preferences or anything. I have reset the Essentials view but it is still not working. When I hit CTR ENTER I can step through the frames one by one using the . and , keys on one of the animatioins, on a second one when I step forward a frame the box I am using disapears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I tried all of that. I did figure it out though. It was, as I figured, a
setting that had some how gotten changed. The FPS was set to 0.01. When I
set it back to 24FPS everything works as it is supposed to. Thank you so
much for the suggestions though, I do appreciate the help.

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.

Animation not playing in wordpress theme

Hey all.
I created an animation with Adboe Edge and wanted to include it my wordpress theme, but I can't figure out how.
When I upload the .html file it plays perfectly in the browsers. But not when I am trying to include it in my .php file.
Is there something special I have to consider when including into wordpress themes?
I use:
<?php include 'introplay.html';?>
in front-page.php and it also displays som tekst, but not the animation.
Seems like the script is not loading. Do I have to put the script in a nother place?
Thanks for your help

Have you tried this WP plugin - http://wordpress.org/plugins/edge-suite/

Adobe edge animation not playing properly on Google Chrome

hi, just noticed this. finishing up my website http://www.thomasdrotardesign.com/work.html
i've just noticed that the edge animation plays the beginning of the animation then disappears completely except for a font here and there on Google Chrome.
it plays perfectly across all the other browsers. any idea what is going on here.
there is nothing nested. it is a straight time line. i am building it on a mac osX 10.9.4

DISCOVERY the reason adobe edge animation and google don't play well together is because if you use any sort of filter on your typography this will not appear on the chrome browser. sad but true. once i removed all the blur filters off my animations they started playing perfectly on chrome. this is too bad in that chrome is the largest used browser out there. thank you Redesign for your suggestion.

Flash animations not playing in Captivate 5.5

When I import a swf from Camtasia 5 into Captivate 5.5, it plays when I "play slide," but not when I play "project" or "from this slide." So.... I saved it as a flv. It plays... if I click the play button, but that's not what I want.
I've used this technique many times before over the years with no problem. I create an animation in PowerPoint, record it with Camtasia, and import it into Captivate. I need to be able to do it in this version.
What has gone wrong? Thanks for any suggestions!!

If your AS2 file is working fine, chalk it up to luck and buy a lottery ticket. Most users are NOT going to be as fortunate. Remember where you placed it in your project though, because if you ever start seeing this project go into spasms and flicker like it was having a fit, the quickest solution will probably be to get rid of this AS2 component.
As for your other issue with the AS3 file, there may be a number of possibilities. My first guess is that your SWF is probably set up as a symbol in the Flash file and the animation is buried inside that symbol. Due to the way Captivate 5x loads SWFs now, the animation may actually be playing in the background before you reach its slide and that means it will have finished playing by the time you get to where you want it to play.
If you want to test this theory, you'll need access to the original FLA file used to create this animation. Try placing some piece of marker text on the final frame of the animation along with a stop(); action. Then reinsert into your Captivate project. If this results in you seeing the marker text on your slide at runtime, then it means the animation has completed playing before you got there.
If this is the issue, try taking the animation out of the Symbol and placing it all on the main timeline of the Flash file. Then republish and insert back into your Captivate project.

Sound in Edge Animation not playing in iPad

Hi everyone,
I'm developing a very simple animation in Edge for a Christmas Card (http://www.luiscovas.com/MTS/ecard_MTS_som.html) which works perfectly in desktop browsers. Unfortunatly, when I try it in iPad (either with Safari or Chrome) the sound doesn't play (the animation does, but not the sound).
I used buzz.js, following this tutorial - http://www.edgedocks.com/content/edge-animate-adding-sound-effects
Does anyone nows why the sound doesn't play in iPad? I don't know if this issue only happens with IOS or if it also happens with Android...
I have to deliver this proposal by tomorrow and I'm kind of desperate!

I am having similar issues getting my Edge Animate to work on iPhones. I used the buzz like everyone else but am confused about the trigger. That means I have to have a button? And can I have it start both the music and animation?
I also have an alternate Flash version for desktops like the other poster here but now my clients like the idea of the mobile version and want it. It works perfectly on my Galaxy 3. Here is the link http://www.blcgraphics.com/ecard2/hhic2013e.html.
How can I test it without having an iphone?

Importing .GIF into Fc will not play the animated gif in output

I imported a animated .gif (attached video.gif) into Fc (of a sequence of pics I took saved as an animated .gif)
It inported as a "bitmap image" and upon export to swf it did NOT show the .gif as an animated .gif but just shows the first frame..
(It did not put this file into an assests folder...)
So I converted the "bitmap image" into an optimaized graphic...and NOW it DOES put the original animated gif into the "assets" folder with a Graphic1.fxg and video.gif in that folder.. and If I open the gif in the assest folder it plays it as the animated .gif it is..
BUT SADLY upon export to SWF it still DOES not play the gif as an animated gif.. just the first frame...
Can I do anything in the code to tell the swf file that is exported to play the gif in the assest folder as an animated gif not just show the frame?
I did the animated gif approach becasue I setup a photoshop cs4 file with a quicktime video as a layer and Fc only brought in the first frame of the quicktime layer..
Could the next beta of Fc include the ability to import and play animated gifs as artwork as well AND/or to import Ps Cs4 video layers as videos
So I would have to created a video page in flash pro and import that as a object? into a state?
(no experience with flash pro but just bought cs4 and will try to learn FlashPro overweekend)

Interesting. I don't think this is somethign you can do in Flash Catalyst. We have .GIF support in the Flash Player but I don't think you can use a GIF asset inside Catalyst. If you need that GIF to play you'll have to embed it using Flash Builder.
But Flash Catalyst will support video version 1.0. I don't think you can turn arbitrary layers into "video" layers but you can bring in video files (like .FLV) and then attach components to behaviors (like play, stop, etc).

Adobe Bridge CC not playing After Effects CC animations

Hello,
I am fairly new to After Effects and Adobe Bridge, and I recently ran into a problem.
So, when I turn on After Effects , and in the Effects Panel , I click "Browse Presets", and then It opens Adobe Bridge. But when I single-click in any kind of an animation in Bridge, it's not playing it in the "Preview" panel.
The little Windows's "picture icon" just starts zoomed in, and then it quickly zooms out.
I'm using a freshly installed Windows 8.1 , and fully updated Bridge and After Effects.
What might be the problem?
If you want, I could also record the problem with a screen recorder and upload it to YouTube.
EDIT : I just fixed the problem by updating Bridge to the latest version (CC 6.1)!
The animations are playing smoothly without any problems! Just run the Adobe Update Manager, and update
Bridge!

Captivate 5 - Text Animation Does not Play on Slide 1 Only

I am using Captivate 5, updated to 5.0.1, with Windows XP, SP 3. Publishing as Export to HTML.
The problem I am ecperienced just started in the last few days, sometime after 3/18/2011. I think this issue is different from similar problems reported in January, which seemed to impact all text animations.
The problem is that text animations on slide 1 work OK in slide preview mode, but do not display at all in project preview mode or when published.
Text animations work on all other slides. If I put a .blank slide in the project, so the failing slide 1 becomes slide 2, then the text animation plays OK, but I do not like such a workaround.
In deliverables generated on 3/18, the text animations work on slide 1. If I regerate the same projects, the slide 1 animations no longer work.
Has something been changed with Captivate 5 or Flash that is causing this problem? Any suggestions?

I don't think you are missing anything. I am using the "Light_PAssage" animantion, but switching to the one you used has no impact.
For me, if there is a text animation on slide one, it will play in File->Preview->Play Slide. It will not play in FIle->Preview->Project, From this slide, or Next 5 slides.
The issue occurs in all my Captivate 5 projects, including projects that previously generated properly working outputs as recently as 2/23/2011.
Is it possible it's related to Flash player? I am using Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.152.26.
I will send an example cptx to your email address. The example includes a blank slide one, and the text on slide 2 plays as expected in the previews and in the generated output. If I remove the blank slide 1, the text animation on the new slide 1 no longer plays.
Thanks.

Imported Powerpoint not playing all animation

I've been testing a couple of Power Point files imported into Cp6. There is an animated chart that just will not play the way it does in PPT. Also cannot play back an embedded YouTube video, and in some cases the background audio doesn't play. Aside from the animation issue, I could add some of the other elements from within Cp6, but my understanding was a lot of this should survive with the import.
I'm using Captivate 6 and Powerpoint 2010 in Windows.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Any possiblity of sharing that PPT (Animation Chart and Embedded Youtube) on [email protected]
Thanks,

Animations imported into Captivate 5.5 not playing correctly.

This issue started when I tried to open a Cp 5 project in Cp 5.5. The animations don't play at all if the "Synchronize with Project" option is On and the anmiation starts at 0 sec on the timeline. Also, there is a visible "blink" between animations on the same slide and between slides.
I've been using Cp 5 for about a year and have worked out my issues with it so these are the things that AREN'T wrong: The transitions for slides and swfs are set to "No Transitions," there is no space between swfs on the timeline that would be making the "blink," there are no blank frames at the end of the timeline in the swf files(inside of Flash), the swfs are AS3, they are only as long as their original timeline, my Preferences are set to no fades on Start and End slides, and my timelines do not extend beyond their content to show white space.
The files work fine in Cp 5. The file animation links are also randomly missing/broken when brought into Cp 5.5 and even after I re-establish them, they periodically turn red (not up to date).
So I figured, "Maybe I can't work with previous version files. I'll just start a new blank project in Cp 5.5." Right? . . . Not right. Swfs still aren't visible when published if they are set to "Synchronize with Project" AND start at the 0 sec mark. They still "blink" between swfs and slides. So maybe I can't use Flash 5 files in Cp 5.5 either. If that is the case, this upgrade was a waste of time and money and should not have been released until these MAJOR issues were resolved.
Someone from support is looking into it, but so far the only advice that I got was "Turn the Sync option off and fade into your next animations." What?! The sync option is very important because that keeps your animations playing correctly when people scrub the playhead. If Cp 5.5 is programmed to do that automatically, then why keep the option button? If not, do you really expect me to NOT want my animations to play consistently when people drag around the playhead? As for the fading, maybe fading out after every animation swf is not an option for me, maybe I need it to be seamless. And to that I was told, "Put all your animations together in one Flash file." Duh, but that was how this needing Cp to assemble my separate swfs started in the first place. If any of you have tried importing 3D rendered pngs into Flash, you know that you can only have so many frames before the program can't handle the load and crashes. I can only support aoubt 250-300 frames of optimized pngs before Flash crashes on me and thats WITH 16GB of ram on a new 64 bit operating system.
If anyone has had this issue and found a fix or some kind of pending patch, please let me know, because by now, I'm wanting a refund.

Captivate 5 was a total rewrite from the Captivate 4 software architecture and it introduced a subtle but fundamental change in the way that Flash animations were handled in Captivate published content.
Basically the change means that if your animation was built down a level or two inside a symbol rather than on the main timeline at the top level, then you will find that Captivate 5 or 5.5 loads and executes the animation on the first slide of the movie. This means that by the time you get to the actual slide where you WANTED the animation to perform it's magic, it's already run and finished.
In Captivate 4 this did not happen. The animation was not really loaded until later in the movie timeline so as to be ready for the slide where it was required. It didn't matter if the animation was buried inside a symbol or not.
You have two choices:
Revamp your animation so that it all happens on the main timeline in the Flash FLA file that generates it.
Get your Flash programmer to add some ActionScript code to the animation so that it does NOT play completely when first loaded at the beginning of the project at runtime.
I agree that Captivate would have been regarded as less of a beast if this change had NOT been made, as users only find out about it AFTER upgrading projects with animations built as symbols. However, I have to trust that if the change was introduced, there must have been a very good reason.

Interactive elements are not allowing the animations to play.

Hello all...
I am using Cp4. In my quiz slide I have planned few animations(.swf & .gif) which will describe the question type that the slide contains. I want those animations to play continuously. I checked the loop property on to run them continuously. I don't want to increase the duration of the question slides but the animations should run continuously till the user attempts & submits the answer.
But the interactive elements which have pause(e.g. button, clickbox) are stopping the animations.
Is there any solution ?
Thanks & regards,
Pullela.

Hello Pullela,
Sorry, have something to finish soon, that is why I have no answer ready if there is one. This seems an issue similar but the opposite as when playing slide audio: that will stop when the user is clicking an interactive object. There I have a solution, put the audio to an object and it will continue to play. But do not see an immediate solution for your problem, seems interesting to explore and will do as soon as I have some time.

Animation does not play automatically when published

I am having a problem with swf files that do not play automatically in my project. Actually some do and some do not. I have the properties set to no transition and rest of slide and even tried rest of animation. The slide works when I play it but when I preview the project the animation does not start. Sometimes I can click the play button and it will play but the other objects will have started so the timing is off.
Does anyone have any suggestions to try? Thanks Emily

Welcome to our community, Emily.
Usually things pause because there is a Button, Click Box or Text Entry Box object on the slide and these objects pause the slide waiting for user interaction.
Do the slides where you are seeing animations stopping have any of these objects? If so, you may need to tweak the pause point. (indicated by the double bars ( || ).
Cheers... Rick

Flash animation with stream sound not playing in mac

Dear all,
I have made a 5 min animation with stream sound. Its playing perfectly in PC. But in mac, its not playing. Stream sound starts from frame 60. So mac plays the swf plays till 60 frame, after that it pauses. I tried importing different sound format (wav, aif, mp3) and tried with all sound export setting but the problem remain same; its playing only till 60. When i removed the sound, it played till end. Even with event sound, it plays till end. But with stream sound, the problem. The problem is only in mac; in pc its perfect.
I am using VMware Mac OS x leopard in window xp for testing purpose. I tested it in laptop with mac; but the problem is same. What could be the solution?
Thanks in advance. Waiting for solution.

Dear all, I solved the problem myself. The problem was with the sound driver of mac. After installing sound driver, the problem is gone. Bhushan
