Can't interact with Web Content Overlay when article is zoomed in

I have a problem with Web Content Overlay. It's working (interacting) only when article is viewed in 1:1 scale. Articles are added as PDF's, and when i do pinch zoom on them - Web Content Overlay stops reacting on click events.
Is it a general WCO limitation?
Can article with Web Content Overlay be zoomed in and still give user the ability to play with HTML content?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why am I getting the flag Invalid URL for web content overlay when making scrolling panel in Indesig

Why am I getting the flag 'Invalid URL for web content overlay" when making scrolling panel in Indesign? Iam making additions to existing articles but the problem is new. The articles were originally made using CS and now I am on CC, which I have just uninstalled and re installed, no difference, can anyone help please? Steve

Hi Bob, thankyou very much for coming back on this. The flag is coming up towards the end of the preview process on desk top. I have made dozens if not hundreds on my two published apps on the app store, but have not done an update for nearly a year, in which time I have needed a refresher, and as usual went to Lynda. In this case I have followed to the letter your DPS course, which is great, and I found the process of making the scrolling panels somewhat easier than when I started 2-3years ago. Initially I was mystified that the flag talked about url and web content, but just put it down to something I had missed in recent improvements in CC.
I tried over and over, but always got the same result. I thought at one point it might be because the content of my slide was copy and photo, so for a test I deleted the photo. Same result, and many of my existing slides are copy and picture.
I also uninstalled Indesign CC and reinstalled in case of corrupted content, I also copied to IDML and relaunch, same problem. I am sure I have made the scrolling content as instructed, The one thing I havn't done is trash my preferences, if you think that would be a good Idea could you please direct me to some content at Lynda on how to do it in CC. Many thanks, Steve

Can't interact with any open windows, can't interact with flash content

I've already tried reinstalling, resetting and deleting my profile, nothing's changed.
I can't close any Firefox window by pressing "x", or by pressing Alt+F4, I can only close it through the task manager or task bar. Minimising or going into windowed mode is also impossible.
If a new window opens itself (e.g. A download) I can't interact with it at all - It's visible on top of the main window, but nothing I do affects it.
I also can't interact with flash content (like pausing a youtube video)
There is absolutely no feedback when I try. The icon doesn't change.
I recently reset firefox, there are no add-ons, themes etc. installed, the problem persists.
I am running Windows 7 64bit, everything else (including other browsers) appears to be working fine and a virus scan (Avast! free version) turned up nothing.
I'd really appreciate any help!

InDesign Crashes when uploading an article with Web Content Overlay - have checked forums

I'm making a folio for my design portfolio in InDesign CC
I currently have one article uploaded, when I try to add my next article InDesign crashes.
I have previously uploaded the article without the single web content overlay and it uploads fine.
The status bar gets stuck at the end 'Building folio ... Processing overlays...'
The content is a simple web form and is only on page 6/6 - not sure why it's freezing by adding a small page on the end.

I've just tried uploading a single page article with the Web Content overlay and it's crashed again.
Not sure if that means it's the web content?

Can Java Interact with Web Pages??

I wonder if it possible to develop an application or applet that can automate the process of signing up for courses at Notre Dame.
Currently, we have to use a pretty plane text-based web system. I wonder if it's feasible to use Java to provide a more user-friendly front-end to this system. The program would need to read HTML, view different web pages, and write to web forms. Any tips on where to go from here?
I realize that some other language might work too, but I'd like to advance my Java skills ;-)
Thanks!!!
- Brian

From what you've posted so far it sounds like you want to make a specialized web browser. Is this what you had in mind? The Java API includes two classes that can be used to construct such a beast relatively easily: JEditorPane and JTextPane. The Swing tutorial has a page on how they can be used:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html
However, their capabilities are rather limited (only support HTML 3.2). They will let you change text styles and the way pages look, but will hardly be more "user friendly" than the original site because it'll be only the old thing with a new look.
There's also a HTML parser that can be used independently of the gui components, in principle you can use it to extract information from the site and show it in a completely new user interface that has nothing to do with the original site but I haven't used it much and i'm too tired to look up and example on the 'net (been a long day, i'm off to bed)

How can I use cookies in Web Content Overlays?

I have a survey created with Google Docs. It uses cookies to tell if a user has already submitted an answer to a survey.
It seems to me that these cookies are not stored with web content overlays (I've used the direct URL to the survey as input).
Am I right? Is there a way to make the cookie thing work?

Hi,
Is this procedure still available in 9iAS and RDBMS 8.1.6 ? I am trying to get it to work, and I keep getting "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist". The owner of this package is "SYS". I even tried prefixing the table name in the SQL string passed to calendarprint with the owner, and it still gave me this error. Does this have anything to do with the invoker rights model ? I need to set up a web calendar and would love to use this functionality...
What gives ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks you

Content generation error: invalid url for web content overlay

Hi,
I am having an error message " content generation error: invalid url for web content overlay" when I want to upload the article.
I don't have any link with that article and this is my 1st time having this kind of error. I am using indesign CC
Please help.

I’ve found watching the process helpful to narrow down the page.
Working off a duplicate of the file, delete one layer at a time until you figure out what layer the problem is on.
From there it’s a bit easier to narrow down.

Web Content Overlay Resampling

I had found some DPS documentation online that lists Web Content as pass-through objects, but some more recent blog posts no longer mention it. Can someone confirm whether Web Content Overlays are resampled to 72dpi, or if I'm doing something wrong, or if there's possibly some workaround?
Thanks,
David

Here's a couple screenshots to illustrate my problem.
First is the HTML form I mentioned above. When I zoom in you can see the vector art and text on the page all remain crisp, but the HTML generated content (the email field and the 'select' button) is pixelated.
Second, I have two 'Flip' overlays taken from one of Bob's posts, they are the two gray boxes I've zoomed into. The light gray box on the right is 72dpi, while the dark gray box on the left is 244dpi and scaled down to size (I exaggerated the dpi to make sure I would see the difference), and the black text on white is vector. It seems both images are rasterizing at the same resolution.
I could totally be misunderstanding what you guys mean by 'pass-through' but both images and text seem to be resampled in my publication. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
David

Can web content overlay refresh when a user re-enters the page?

I have a page that has a web content overlay that id like to refresh when a user re-enters the page.
To be exact i have a photswipe gallery that works great butid like it to restart from the beginning when a user renters the page

There is no simple way to disable swiping to a new page. You could put an empty scrolling frame in, I suppose, but I don’t see how that would make the reader’s experience very good.

YouTube embed in web content overlay crashes InDesign when previewing

I created an HTML file with this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxx" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</body>
</html>
I then created a box in InDesign and used the Web Content Overlay and selected the HTML file I created.
When I go to preview my pub on the connected iPad InDesign stops responding during "Checking Folio Contents x of x"
Is something wrong with my HTML file? Is it even possible to do this?
For background info: I'm trying to get the same effect of streaming a video from YouTube as I would if I were to directly embed the mp4 into my pub. I don't know if this is even possible or what is the best way to do this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Bob.
Okay, so here are the steps I'm taking:
1. Go to YouTube
2. Copy embed code
3. Go to InDesign
4. Paste embed code
This creates a web content area with the video embeded. So the user can click play on the video once it loads and can then click full screen on the video controls.
What I'm trying to do is have a button on my page which links to a full screen view of the YouTube video so when the page loads the video doesn't load but when the user clicks the button it would then load the YouTube video full screen. I'm looking for the same functionality that is possible were I to embed an mp4 straight into my document, hide it, and then create a button that plays the video in full screen mode.
Is the above possible?
Thanks.

Short of dismantling and recreating a page how do i find out whats causing [Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]

Hi,
i received an indesign file to include in a folio that had links to the creators desktop where they had the assets for the web content overlay. When i try to update the folio i get the error message:
"Content generation error.
[Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]"
Which is fair enough.
The problem is, i have gone through and changed all URLs that I can see, but there is one somewhere, that I just can't find.
Is there a way to get a list of all web content overlays in a particular file? otherwise i will need to recreate the whole page again, and it has some pretty complex interactions which i rather wouldn't do.
I also cannot ask the original doc creator to just change the links as i'm sure he'll have the same issues as me, at not being able to track down the erroneous link.
The problem I have with DPS is that its not very transparent. you'll have to click on everything, and into every group to see what actions are on it, which can be extremely time consuming and frustrating when complex interactions are included.
thanks in advance for any assistance

DPS - Web Content Overlay. How to implement dragging action in .folio?

Hi there
I am building a huge project, some kind of encyclopaedia with multimedia and interactive content I created using both Tumult Hype and Adobe Edge Animate 1.0. They are perfectly well loaded onto their own respective Web Content Overlay and work almost perfectly.
One of them is a draggable game in which you drag a man towards one side or another just to see how it inclines. I have tried it in many browsers and it simply works perfectly well. But, when I bring it into the inDesign document (into a MSO) I can't drag the man, as the ACV changes the page.
What can I do? Is there any way of avoiding this default behaviour when using these interactive content?
Best regards,
Luis Santa-Maria

Ok, thanks for not answering anyway.
I have managed to get the solution by myself. I just put a e.preventDefault(); function when dragging, and it just worked.
Thanks again to all those who didn't help and knew how to do it.
Best regards

Autoplay on page load doesn't work in Web content overlays

I would like an audio file to play in a web content overlay and can't manage to make it play automatically when page loads. Because of different complications I can use neither the html-stack nor the audio overlay in Indesign. When I test the html file used in the web content overlay in safari on my computer it works but not inside the app.
I have also set the frame with the web content in indesign to "autoplay" in the overlay creator. This makes the audioplayer in the web content overlay visible on the page, but you still have to push the play button to start the music.
Has anybody had the same problem and solved it?

Apple does not allow autoplay within HTML, to avoid high data costs. There
might be a workaround using javascript, but you need to search for it.

Suppression of nav bars (chrome) in web-content overlays

We've started to experiment with creating interactive content within folios, using web content overlays and HTML5/AJAX.
Problem is the nav bars/chrome (whatever you want to call them) in Adobe Viewer pop up constantly, and unpredictably - for instance, the chrome will appear the *first* time an HTML button is clicked, but not on subsequent occasions. For other <div> elements that have onclick handlers attached, the nav always seems to appear.
Does anyone have any insight into possible ways of suppressing the nav bars completely for web-content user interaction? Judging by the behaviour of HTML buttons, it seems there has been some effort put into this on Adobe's part, but some concrete insight would be brilliant.
Cheers,
David (Boto Media).

I have already come across these "solutions".
I am on v27 and have been since its release.
I have tried method number one. It partially works however it is buggy. When the overlay initially loads, it flashes the Twitter URL before showing the feed in the overlay frame on the article. Additionally, it sometimes flashes back and forth from the Twitter Feed's URL and displaying the feed itself. This, for me is not a wholly valid solution but it will do for now since the only thing that remotely works. I suspect the URL flash has alot to do with the network connectivity of the device one is viewing the feed on. However, to flash that URL before the feed loads makes the overlay appear buggy.
And the second method most definitely crashes ID ever single time I attempt to preview the overlay either on desktop or iPad. And I have tried this method on several different machines, thinking it was my copy of ID. It still crashes upon preview, so mehtod two is not a valid solution at all, unless there is something special that needs to be in the HTML file (besides the twitter widget) for it to not crash ID, that I am unaware of.
Thank you for your assistance.

How to fit HTML into a web content overlay?

How can I fit a 640px x 960px HTML generated from Adobe Animate into a Web content overlay with 640x x 960x dimension graphic frame?
When I uncheck the "scale content to frame" option, the HTML was scaled up--cropping 3/4ths of the image. But with the scale content frame option selected, the HTML was scaled down showing the whole image but on a 1/3rd scale.
The article format is set to PDF.

I assume you mean Edge Animate.
What version of ID? Did you fully patch Edge to 1.0.1?
If you have CS6 you can just place the OAM file.
