Automatic page transition in swf-Export

Hello,
I have a brochure for a swf-export. I want the pages to turn automatically after a few seconds.
Haven't found such option yet. Hope you can help me.
Regards,
Paul

There´s no such feature in InDesign....
If you want to make that happen, you need to do some actionscript coding.
Is this what you want (it takes few seconds to start):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17227987/autopageturn/index.html
If it is, you can download those files as zip-pacakge:
http://www.edocker.com/support/edocker-freebies/
1) Extract ZIP,
2) replace SWFfromID.swf, you may actually export SWF from InDesign directly to that same folder, use that name and overwrite existing file.
3) Then open index.html to your browser.
Pageturning delay is 5 seconds.
If you need more control over your SWF, you may want to check http://www.edocker.com. With it you can add features like zooming, printing etc to your SWF files.....

Page Transition in SWF File

I have created a document in InDesign CS5.5 that I export as a SWF file and use it in my Flex Mobile project for the playbook.
In the Adobe Flash Builder simulator, the page transition works smoothly and there are no issues. However, this is not the case in the playbook, there is a lot of lagging and its very slow to transition from one page to the next.
Is there any resolution to this issue?
I tried using other page transitions but none of them work in my playbook, not sure why. I am trying to get a simple swipe navigation from one page to the next.. need help please!
Thanks in advance

Adding movies to Indesign automated page-curl swf export

I know there have been several discussions on this, but I thought I would ask the question anyway.
I have a magazine created in InDesign, I can add hyperlinks to pages and websites and export it as a nice swf file with a page curl transition. The problem seems to be when anyone wants to edit the Flash file (.xfl), they loose the nice smooth page curl transition, is there no way this can be moved to Flash easily (bear in mind my knowledge of Action script is limited).
Any help would be much appreciated.

See this Help topic. From InDesign CS4, you have two ways to create Flash files -- SWF and XFL. If you export to SWF, you can include page curls, hyperlinks, transitions, and navigation buttons. If you export to XFL, you lose any button, hyperlink, or transition you've added in InDesign, and you use Flash Pro to add those things along with fancier animation effects. If you export to SWF, you can't edit the file. If you export to XFL, you have to know Flash Pro well enough to edit the file.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

SWF export positioning in web page

Hi,
I have some questions about the SWF version of the Indesign Files.
I would like a bit more control on how it sits in a webpage if possible.
If I export as normal, the SWF file sits in the top left side of the page.
If I export and tick the box to include the pagecurl feature, it sits in the middle of the page.
Is it possible edit the setings to get the swf file to be centred on a page without the pagecurl option?
If I open the generated html file in Dreamweaver the page is basically blank.
Would the only option be to import the SWF file into a blank page and center it using tables?

If I open the generated html file in Dreamweaver the page is basically blank.
Are you looking at the code? Unless something has changed with CS 5.5 you should see the javascript that loads the swf at the top of the page in the DW code view. Look at the bottom for the load parameters:
    AC_FL_RunContent(
        'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,2,0',
        'width', '1000',
        'height', '700',
        'src', 'Untitled-2',
        'quality', 'high',
        'pluginspage', 'http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer',
        'align', 'middle',
        'play', 'false',
        'loop', 'false',
        'scale', 'noscale',
        'wmode', 'window',
        'devicefont', 'false',
        'id', 'Untitled-2',
        'bgcolor', '#999999',
        'name', 'Untitled-2',
        'menu', 'true',
        'allowFullScreen', 'true',
        'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
        'movie', 'Untitled-2',
        'salign', ''
The page curl version doesn't really center the swf object, it just makes the width and height parameters larger than the page, which creates a top and left background border. If you want to center the swf inside the browser window you'll need to add a table or divs
This page defines the embed parameters:

Need my cover page to show first in interactive .swf export

I have created an eight page document with a cover and back cover.
The other six pages in between are facing pages. When I export this as an interactive .swf file, the
cover page appears on the right with a blank facing page on the left. How can I get it to show only the cover first, then
when I turn the page (page curl, of course) the facing pages display together and then finally the back cover?

Oh...by the way, I am using InDesign, CS 5.5.

Embed Video PDF InDesign Booklet with Page Transitions & Playable Video

e.g.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign...3D6C6A460.html
also such as:
http://www.page-flip.com (although yet to implement feature...)
So...
Is there any way to get embedded video within pdf - once placed in InDesign - to export (either swf or xfl) creating a booklet-type publication with page transitions (curl/ page-flip) with the videos playable?

Only Adobe Acrobat or Reader can show those PDFs (and many others) correctly. Are you sure that the PDF was opened in one of these 2 applications and not in Apple Preview or Ghostviewer or something else?
Only Adobe Reader 9 and X and Acrobat 9 and X can show PDFs with Flash content correctly. If you have an older version, let us say Version 8 or older, you are not able to see Flash content at all. If you have a newer version, that is Reader XI or Acrobat XI you need additional Adobe Flash player have installed on that computer and allow access to your PDFs. Can you check, if these substantial requirement are fulfilled?

Duration page transition CS5

Hi all!
Is there a way to set the amount of seconds you want to display a page using the page transition function in Indesign CS5 before you export it to pdf or swf?
I would very much appreciate your help!

The JQuery will work on more devices than the CSS, but the CSS are the way things are going with newer browsers.

Page transitions effects

I've looked around a lot, but I have not been able to find
any tutorial explicitly going over just how to design transition
effects between pages (i.e., the effect through which the Home page
loads, and how to smoothly dissapear its content when the viewer
clicks to go to a different page, and the same thing for all pages
basically).
I've learned the basics of motion and shape tweening, as well
as masking (using tweens), and some basic actionscript, however,
with various content on my pages it does not allow me to do a
mask/tween nor is it at all a practical solution for my specific
problem: again, I want the pages to load up and dissapear smoothly
with some sort of effect. I have set the pages up using labels.
Any input, or link to a descent tutorial on the subject would
be greatly appreciated.
Chuck

Thanks for the posting.
While they're pretty terse, the InDesign Help files are pretty clear about whether things can be exported or not.
For example:
"Movies and sound clips you add to a document can be played when the document is exported to Adobe PDF or SWF, or when you export the document to XML and repurpose the tags." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Page transitions display a decorative effect such as a dissolve or wipe when you’re turning pages in a document that is exported to SWF or PDF format. You can apply different transitions to different pages, or you can apply a single transition to all the pages. Page transitions are especially useful when you create a slideshow in PDF or SWF format." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
or
"Animation effects let you make objects move in your exported SWF files. For example, you can apply a motion preset to an image that makes it appear to fly in from the left side of the screen while shrinking and spinning. Use the following tools and panels to animate documents." (Doesn't mention FLA files.)
But:
"When you export your InDesign document to FLA file format, you can open the file in Adobe Flash® CS5 Professional to edit the contents. Exporting to FLA in InDesign CS5 format replaces XFL export in InDesign CS4. Use the Flash authoring environment to edit or add video, audio, animation, and complex interactivity." (The last sentence says you should do those things in Flash Professional.)

SWF Export, no font showing in Acrobat and zoom border problem (Acrobat & Reader) - Indesign CS6

Hi Everyone,
If anyone could help me on this that would be great, I've spent hours on the forums and manuals to no avail.
I'm making an interactive PDF brochure in Indesign for one of our new products and I'm having issues (actual or perceived??!!) with the SWF export and PDF creation. I'm placing animations and video in the INDD, exporting it as an SWF (with the text option as Flash Classic Text) and then opening the SWF (not importing to a word doc or anything, just opening the SWF) with Acrobat using the advanced options to import the video resources and to enable the content when the page is opened. I then save the file as a PDF. In the PDF everything works as it should, the animations, the buttons, the video plays and so on. Great.. hmm not quite.
The trouble I am having is that all the content of the SWF when viewed in Acrobat seems to be getting rasterised/flattened - is this correct? After the SWF is opened, Acrobat indicates no fonts in the fonts tab in the document properties so when the SWF is zoomed in Acrobat, or the saved PDF in Reader, the font gets pixelated and the document is not searchable/text can not be highlighted. The images are not selectable either - it is as if the entire page has been flattened to one image. Is there a way to stop this so that the SWF opened with Acrobat retains the font and individual images like a normal PDF? Do I have to open the SWF in Flash first to set some parameters or something? Is there something I am doing wrong when exprting the SWF from Indesign? I think I have tried about every possible export combination. When I open the .HMTL (exported at the same time as the SWF from Indesign) in a browser, the same happens. All the animations work but the text appears to be rasterised/flattened/not searchable. Sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology.
I have tried importing the SWF back into another new INDD and exporting that as an interactive PDF but then the video does not work. I suppose I could try exporting all the individual animations as SWFs, importing them all and trying to get them to work with the video but I can see that will take quite some time and does not seem to be a guaranteed solution from what I have read on the forums - video playback being the issue.
Another problem is that when the SWF, or saved PDF, is zoomed in Acrobat/Reader between approx 150% and 210% a thick white border appears in the document and the content is squashed into the middle creating a slightly pixelated and narrow page. When I zoom out from the page I get a small white line on the right hand border at around 70% zoom. Please see images. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
On another, sort of related topic, my timing panel went blank yesterday and was not showing any animations in documents that it had been used to order and synch animations on page load as well as new documents. The panel was blank. I updated to V8.0.1 and the panel sprang back into life - hope that helps anyone else finding the same problem.
I am not very familiar with Indesign/Acrobat/Flash so I guess all the above could be what I'm doing or I could be asking really dumb questions - apologies from a newbie.
Best,
Emily

Hi All,
I have now pretty much solved all the issues by creating the SWF in Flash rather than Indesign. I would advise anyone looking to create an interative PDF with animation and interactivity to go with Flash from the start. While Flash is a little more involved to create the same effects as Indesign, the extra time taken will ensure a more controllable and better looking PDF in terms of text quality, scalability and so on. Plus you will not spend days trying to get video to work along side imported SWF etc in Indesign. One of the best controls in Flash is being able to set the stage.scaleMode for the document so the PDF still looks crisp when zooming, no white borders etc. So, create the .fla, export to .SWF, open the .SWF with Acrobat, modify the advanced settings to enable start on page load and save as a PDF. If you don't know Flash, I didn't a couple of days ago, watch a couple of tutorials on Youtube.. buttons, tweens, embedding video and you'll be ready. Don't be put off by ActionScript, there are really handy Code Snippets in CS6 that do all the heavy lifting for you.
Sorry Indesign!
Best,
Em

Is there a way to control "push" page transitions when using up/down keys to navigate a PDF?

I have a multi-page PDF designed with push page transitions. When using the forward/back arrow keys or the interactive buttons I have designed on the page, the push navigation direction changes whether one is moving forward in the PDF or back. However, if I use the mouse scroll button or up/down arrow keys to navigate, the push navigation only animates from the same direction...and therefore makes it look as if the user is only moving "forward" in the book. Is there a way to control this effect more precisely?
I am creating the document with InDesign CC 2014, adding the page transitions within the file, and exporting to interactive PDF using the setting "Page Transitions: From Document".

I don't think the iPad has it in it to control another device. Unless there's an app for it to be a remote control, but I'd imagine that it woudl be very brand specific.
You can certainly experiment with the VGA or HDMI adapters, but I wouldn't put total faith in them unless you had the ability to experiment prior to your presentation. I'd definitely have a backup plan.

Can I make an InDesign CS4 .swf export scale depending on the open size of a browser?

Hi there. I would like to make my inDesign CS4 .swf file able to scale in accordance with the open size of a browser. When I have used Flash previously changing the size of the document to 100% achieved this effect. However, I'm not having much luck with this approach with my inDesign CS4 .swf export. I'm loathe to export it as an XML file for Flash as I want to keep my fancy page turns. Any help would be very much appreciated. I'm not very fluent in Flash-speak so I'd also appreciate it if anyone offering a solution could t-a-l-k r-e-a-l s-l-o-w.
Regards,
Jackie

This is quite old thread, I don´t have those source codes anymore... besides many people still uses monitors with width of 1024, 1219px wide magazine would clip in those monitors, so I don´t suggest to use it without shrinking....
Anyway, if you want to improve positioning of your SWF, you have at least two way to do it
1) Go to free http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html and create a new html-wrapper for your project
2) If that´s not enough or you want some extra features like zoom, print or search, go to http://www.edocker.com and download a free trial of eDocker.
ps. eDocker is in Adobe MAX Awards final, if you want to help it to win.... go to

Page transitions, when do they start working?

Page transitions do not work. Maybe I'm missing something, but I have tried everything and I've never seen a page transition actually happen. I've specified in the document and in the export options with same result...nothing.
Thanks.

What kind of export? What version of InDesign?
I never used these before, but
(1) Applying them seems easy enough.
(2) I made sure they appear in a PDF by checking "Interactive Elements"
(3) Page Transitions are supposed to only work in Acrobat in Full Screen Preview.
With these points in mind, I got a nice (well, actually horribly tacky and annoying) screen wipe within a couple of minnets.

Page Transitions

Hi,
I've created an Interactive PDF in InDesign CS4 that includes page transitions (not page turn since it's swf only). When the PDF is opened in Acrobat, is it possible to have the page transitions work outside of full screen mode? I've only been able to get the page transitions to work when in Acrobat is in full screen mode.
Thanks!

AFAIK, the only time those transitions work is in full screen mode.

Interactive pdf without any page transition, only hyperlinks

Hi,
I wanted to export an interactive pdf but I can't lock the page transition. Is that possible to have a document which you only can navigate with hyperlinks?
Kind regards

No. You cannot control how your viewers navigate through a PDF file (thankfully!) They can always exit from full screen mode.
