Autoplay HTML overlay error

Hello there
Wondering if anyone could help.
I have multiple HTML overlays set to autoplay containing a link to an itunes preview of a song.
These HTML overlays are each the second state of their own Multi State Object so that the user can effectively "Play/Pause" the itunes previews.
This all seems to work beautifully on the first open of the app, but on reopen, all the previews play at once wherever the user opens the app and can only be paused by activating each MSO
Does anyone have any idea? - It also happens on test stacks where only one HTML overlay is present
Could it be an issue with the itunes link? or Does anyone know of a workaround that may "solve" this issue?
All the best
Tim

Rendering problem using meteor inside an HTML overlay

Hi everyone,
I'm having a pretty specific problem, using meteor, and could really use some help.
I've posted a detailed description of the problem on Stack Overflow, but the gist of it is this:
Inside of Adobe DPS, the headless browser used in overlays on iOS 6.1.7 has some issues with meteor.
specifically:
1- every meteor page -- no matter if it's just the out-of-the-box Hello Meteor page -- generates a non-obtrusive error: TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function. There's no stack trace, no other details (I used debuggify to discover the error)
2- after redirect from the "accept permissions" page(s) using the Facebook Login Alternative flow, the page will not render.
Neither of these errors occurs inside Mobile Safari, or Mobile Chrome on the iPad.
I believe this may be caused by some of the restrictions we're putting on the headless browser (hence error #1), and is a combination of the redirect having a hash (#) after the URL, and (maybe?) handlebars or some other js framework not loading in time.
If anyone has any ideas -- either to solve this specific problem, or a workaround for me (I need to log in to facebook using meteor, inside a DPS article HTML overlay on an iPad) I'd really appreciate it.
Article on Stack is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18808652/meteor-rendering-in-adobe-dps-overlay-after-re direct-from-facebook-login
Thanks!

Unfortunately if something works in Mobile Safari that doesnt' mean it'll work in DPS, due to how the iOS Web Control works. It's kinda, but not exactly, the same as Mobile Safari, and sometimes things work in one but not the other. This isn't something we have control over either, it's just how the OS control works.

Adobe needs to develop an api for communicating with HTML Overlays & Indesign Objects

I'm a front-end developer who has been assigned the task of developing one of our client's DPS every month. While I praise Adobe for saving a dying a industry and giving non-developers simple GUI controls, they need to develop an api for communicating from HTML Overlays to Indesign MSOs and other objects.
I've had to do some intense animations/pages; which I in turn simply developed all in HTML5 and did an overlay. The time put into those pages could have been greatly reduced if their was a proper API in place to trigger different MSO and events. Is anybody at Adobe working on this? As DPS matures, and more developers are tasked with making folios it's imperative we have a proper way way to develop.

We had a page for embedded movies in a lightbox; the client said customers were complaining that the folios were too large and took too long to download. So we switched to youtube streaming page, but they wanted a poster and autoplay enabled. If you have ever programmed with mobile video, you'll know devices are extremely difficult to manipulate.
I had to do an html overlay with a bunch of transparent divs for hotspots and buttons. If I could have told Indesign to move different objects layer orders or go to a different MSO it would have saved me hours.
Doesn't DPS support localstorage? Couldn't you guys whip up a little api to trigger events via localstorage?
Off topic, another request:
- enable the safari webkit inspector for debugging connected ipads with folios that have html overlays; you guys don't fully support HTML5 or certain js events and it's extremely annoying and difficult to debug.

How can I trap & display HTML syntax errors in mx:HTML at run time?

I am loading HTML pages into an mx:HTML component in an AIR application. If the HTML contains errors, they show up in the trace window in debug mode. I'd like to trap that information so I can tell the usere that there are errors (and what they are) in the production version of the application. How can I get at those errors?

I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...

Update images in an HTML overlay

I edited the images in my HTML overlay, but the filenames are the same. Is there a clever way to force Content Viewer to update the images?

I edited the images in my HTML overlay, but the filenames are the same. Is there a clever way to force Content Viewer to update the images?

Is there a way to store and access shared assets between HTML overlays in a Folio?

I'm using numerous HTML graphics throughout a folio, each one requiring common script and font files. Rather than store these assets in each graphic set within a folio's HTML overlay, is it possible to store them in a root folder in the folio that is then accessible to any HTML overlays used throughout it? And if it possible, how would I access them?
This would save a great deal on overall folio size. Though I suspect it's not possible, I'd find it a useful feature if it were somehow possible to implement it in the future.
Thanks,
Brice.

ah yes...
Entering credentials are required unless you install and configure OAM... That's the only solution.
The other issue with the session is a big one... According to initial information from Oracle, what you are doing is not fully supported and only works in webCenter spaces. However this can be resolved by adding a very simple thing in the weblogic.xml
read this post: http://yonaweb.be/enable_site_studio_features_webcenter_portal_0
it's the part at the ending about the cookie-path.
it took me a few days to resolve that issue so the above post is very valuable...

Can't tap on links in HTML overlays without the navigation menu popping up

When I insert my html overlays, I'm trying to find a viable workaround for the following issue.
If a user tries tapping any of the links to trigger animations I've created in my HTML, the content browser's navigation pops up at the same time as the link triggering the animation. This is similar to what I run into with other vendors like pixel mags.
We recommended to them to have their navigation not pop-up unless a user double taps, 2 finger taps, or taps and holds the screen. Is there any type of distinction in the works for Adobe as well? Or are there any workarounds for this?
Most of the time, it's almost too easy to get the navigation to pop-up when I was simply trying to trigger something else.
Does this make sense? Apologies if this has already been addressed, and thanks.

Yes it has been adressed, several times before.
The one-tap solution for evoking the viewer UI seems to be a decision adobe
will stick to for the next time.
Although the html overlay triggers the viewer UI every time you tap a link,
that was aknowledged as a problem and we read that adobe is working on a
fix, don't know if it is included in the viewer that is currently under
review by apple.

HTML overlay on top of Flash

I see that using a javascript library like JQuery, I can
create overlays from one HTML page to another (code below). Our
Flash designer is suggesting that perhaps the JQuery function could
be modified to include the names of the external HTML pages so that
he could just reference this function to call up the overlays. Is
something like this possible? If not, is there an established way
of calling HTML overlays from a Flash .swf perhaps using
ActionScript?

Limitations in the Android 2.x rendering model require Flash content to always be rendered as the topmost object.
It gets better in Android 3.x, but I'd highly recommend staying away from pop-ups and overlapping interactive elements where possible. It doesn't mesh well with the browsing experience in the context of small screens and touch input (you're always going to have wasted real-estate with a pop-up), and you'll avoid a lot of frustration.

Text Disappears when on top of an HTML overlay

Text Disappears when on top of an HTML overlay. This is a very simple file. It's not even part of an MSO. The text is disappearing when I view in both the desktop content viewer and the iPad.
I've tried converting to outlines, doubling the layer, copying and pasting back into. Nothing. Any suggestions

You might also try creating the html and leaving a space for you existing text. Select transparent background for you overlay and the text should be visible.

Using location-awareness in HTML overlay calls ugly dialog

Dear all
using location-awareness in a HTML overlay calls an ugly dialog containing the whole path to the HTML Resource.
Does anybody have an idea how to mask the path with the app's name?
Thanks for your help,

WebEngine HTML/JavaScript errors

Hello,
Is there a way to kwown if the WebView's WebEngine has detected HTML/JavaScript errors when loading content? And is there a way to list these errors?
Cheers,
Bertrand

Couldn't tell you the canonical way to do this.
Some thoughts:
1. There is a new debug API for WebView in 2.2, perhaps that may also be of use to you.
2. Firebug Lite can be be used to debug the WebEngine (it lists JavaScript errors after is has been loaded).
3. For catching JavaScript errors, you could try the JavaScript window on error function - http://www.w3.org/wiki/DOM/window.onerror. If you don't control the html you are loading, you will need to insert it some way (e.g. via webEngine().executeScript()), in which case timing the insertion to happen before any javascript has been executed might be tricky.
4. There is an exception property on the loadworker, but don't think it would be much help here as I think it is for different kinds of errors like "could not connect", you could trap it and see what it contains.
5. You could monitor the webengine's location property and fetch the url seperately and pass it through a tool like htmltidy in diagnostic mode which will generate a list of html errors and warnings (wouldn't exactly match webview's parsing handler).
The html5 parsing algorithm is very forgiving of sloppy and mismatched html.
Generally browsing engines just tend to ignore javascript and html errors and continue processing - they are not strict validators.

HTML Conversion Error

I just installed Kablink Teaming 2.1 on SLES11_X64 and can not view uploaded files. I get the following error.
HTML Conversion Error
Error: com.sun.star.connection.NoConnectException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
I checked and made sure I was pointing to the right place for fonts, and all my folders had correct rights. Everything looks good, and I can download the files, I just can't use the view feature.
Any help?

There is information about WebDAV and edit-in-place using various
versions of Office on Windows 7 in the Novell Teaming 2.1 readme. You
might want to check that out, if you haven't already.
In terms of using Novell's OO edition for document conversion, it's my
experience that Novell's version of OO installed on Linux does not
contain all the features of OO regarding document conversion.
Specifically, the installation guide has a section entitled "Installing
OpenOffice.org as the Document Converter for Teaming" that talks about
when running the OO installer, to use the custom option and select ALL
optional components. Some of these components are additional conversion
handlers for OO that have not been included in the version of OO Novell
includes with Linux.
Having said that, you are correct in pointing out that the Stellent
converters used in Novell Teaming provide a much richer set of
converters than does OO used with Kablink Teaming. That's one of the
benefits of the Novell Teaming product vs. Kablink Teaming.

Web Content overlay error

Not sure why I am getting this error all of a sudden, but when I try to create a Web Content overlay by linking to a local html file I am getting a "Scrip Alert: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay".
This isn't making any sense to me. A few days ago I successfully created a folio while creating a Web Content overlay with a local file and now this morning I am trying to link to the same html file the exact same way and it's not working.
I am using InDesign CS 5.5 on Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Figured it out! totally by mistake, there had been an object that was pasted into the file that was filled with a PMS color. Once I converted that PMS color to an RGB process color that took care of the script error.
weird!

Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay, ERROR!!!!!!

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this error, I was working on my indesign file and was testing it out locally, then I went on to upload my file and I got prompt to install a new version of the Folio panel which I did, now every time I try to upload my file I get this "ERROR: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay", I've searched around and have not come up with an answer. Not sure if its a bug on the new update or what. I tried some troubleshooting which this is what i did. I copied my first page of my document onto a different file and tried to upload one page and then i got the error but then I deleted the images and just left one text box and it uploaded my file without any issues, strange huh. Any ideas????

I was having the same problem with both hyperlinks and buttons in one particular file -- "Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay." It seems to only be a problem in files where I had a link or button previously, and then deleted the object. When I create a new object and create a link or button, it's as though the old link is still lingering somewhere in the file! However, none of the old links is listed in the hyperlinks panel before I create a new one.
This occurred while I was teaching a DPS class, using the Adobe courseware (sight unseen by any proofreader, I believe). In one of the exercise files, the steps for the student to create hyperlinks and buttons had already been done, so I deleted the hyperlinks. (I think I deleted the text frames that contained them, but I'm not sure.) I never had a problem with it UNTIL I downloaded the Overlay Creator/Folio Builder dated June 19 (v21, I think).
In the same file, I also had problems with a NAVTO link, . I don't think there were any NAVTO links in any earlier version of the file, at least none that I ever created or deleted.
I've coded HTML since the days when the only available tool was Notepad, so I'm sure that I used correct URLs (and none redirected). Even the URLs in the deleted objects were correct; I only deleted them so the exercise could be done again.
