Controlling Timeline With Touch

Hi! I use edge animate in adobe dps. I searched to control the timeline with touch (or scroll) in the forum. Even some solutions were discussed, i didnt find the perfect one. It could open so many possibilities like slideshows, parallax, diagonal textscroll etc.
I would like to build a wide animation and control the timeline by scrup/swipe with my finger.
I found something which works, but it seems the directions doesnt work in adobe edge animate anymore. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Demofiles would be awesome.
Here is the solution i found, which doesnt work in the latest edge.

And here is the result. Works on ipads in indesign dps:

Hi Jerry, in my opinion the best for magazines right now is to swipe left and right to the article and down to see the full article. For that I want to decide if it's snapping to single pages vertically, or smooth scroll etc. Im my case I wanted to have a smooth scroll parallax version which I can build in adobe edge (it's possible to do with stellar.js - most of the other parallax html script doesnt work on ios). But it's s so easy to do in adobe edge animate! I also want to build full pages in adobe edge, since there are more ways to animate things (even it's a little button). But then I have the same problem. I dont get off the page if it's made in adobe edge and shown full screen in adobe dps. I got some other html scripts which are full screen, but are able to swipe to the next page.
For example I searched weeks for a good slider. But most of them have the same problem. An example: I have an article vertically with a few pages in adobe dps. On the 3rd i want a full screen slider. I can swipe left/right, but cant go down or up anymore. But finally i found a solution which is so perfect for adobe dps.
http://www.idangero.us/sliders/swiper/
So many options and the abillity to get off the fullscreen page! but you need to know a bit html/css. I am not a coder at all, but enough to change some sizes etc.
Have a look on swiper. It's awesome!
Here is one feature they mentioned that's the problem with my above adobe edge animation:
Scroll prevention
Swiper will prevent vertical scroll when you touch it in "horizontal" mode, and horizontal scroll in "vertical" mode"
That's why I think it has to be possilbe to make the adobe edge full screen animation with scroll acts the same. If its vertical, i want to swipe left/right to get off the page.
Hope this wasn't to complicated.

How to control animation with touch

Hello! I need some help with controlling animations with touch. I am building a fake app and need to 'unlock' an iphone (slide an arrow along a track and then have it fade into another page). I have been using http://forums.adobe.com/message/4865693 that thread. The prototype link listed there is similar to waht I need to recreate, but I think I need an 'on touch' actino instead of a mousemove one.
http://assets.ordienetworks.com.s3.amazonaws.com/the_occasional/checkerPro/checkerPro.html
That is a link to the Edge file I have been working on, using the info in the thread above. It is broken at the moment, and I am terrible with javascript and have no idea how to move forward. I have figured that I'll need an 'on touch' action instead of the mouseover one, but I'm not sure how to build it.
If there is a working example of this on a different thread that I've missed I'd love a link as well!!
Thank you!!

Hi, akall-
There are a number of touch events that you can use to accomplish what you want. You can try using the touchmove event instead of the mousemove event, and stick your code in there.
Hope that helps,

Control Keynote with Touch?

I use Keynote frequently and have been using a wireless mouse to control my presentations. I am considering an iPod Touch and would like to know if it would be able to control my presentations.
Thanks for any information.

This looks to be a step in the right direction: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1947
Send feedback and maybe one day you can steer keynote too.

Remote Control with Touch Screen Devices

I have encountered some trouble using CM's Remote Control with touch-enabled devices. It seems that the cursor on my screen thinks that it is in a different place than the cursor on the remote screen.
Both devices have been Dell Latitude E-series laptops. It is possible that this is isolated to these. Has anyone else encountered this? Remote Assistance seems to work fine, but that lacks in so many other ways compared to Remote Control.
This is using Remote Control with SCCM 2012 R2 just to clarify in case there are any differences between the various CM versions.
Any input would be appreciated.

We use ELO touch screens and some Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablets, and I haven't experienced any of the problems that you are talking about...
I know that's not helpful but thought I'd throw my experiences in.

Scroll/swipe events controlling timeline for DPS

Hi,
Actually I am trying to controlling my timeline with events that I can use in my ipad. I export html from to Edge Animate, and I insert in Indesign to digital publishes (DPS).
I found this example:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2mvc6l667nq79av/parallax_edge_demo.zip
I would like to know if there is a way to make the scroll smooth. I mean, if you give a little push with your finger and it just scrolls by itself and goes slower at the stop (don´t stop suddenly like in the example). Is this possible?
thank´s,
Rubén Afonso

Glad it worked for you, Graeme.
Note that I've updated both Example and Source links, with a constraint so that if you swipe up, the "timelinePos" variable is constrained to 0, rather than becoming negative (line 25 @ Stage.compositionReady). You might want to re-download my example.
Adding ease to the end of the swipe/timeline scrub is possible in Edge, but it would be a bit unwieldy. Here's the psuedo-code I'd start with:
1) create a variable, "onTouchEndEasePosition", which you'll use to add/subtract from the "timelinePos" value
2) run a setInterval on touchend (be sure to clear it when your value goes down to 0, or a touchstart fires!!)
3) on each tick of that setInterval, decrease (or increase- depending on swipe direction) the "onTouchEndEasePosition" value, and position your playhead on the timeline based on the "onTouchEndEasePosition" value.
Another thing you can try, and this would prob be cleaner than using setInterval, would be to leverage the powerful GSAP library to set the "onTouchEndPosition" variable. On touchend, you could create a Tween with the ease of you choice, and on "tick" of that Tween, increase/decrease your "onTouchEndEasePosition" variable, and position your playhead on the timeline based on that value. See FAQ #15 at bottom for how to listen to the "tick" of a Tween: http://www.greensock.com/get-started-js/
The biggest challenge, I think is to figure out how fast the user was scrolling before lifting their finger. You would need this in order to get the "after scroll" to feel right.
There are a lot of really good jQuery touch scroll plugins, but since you're not actually scrolling content, not sure if they apply to your project. Here is a list of good scroll plugins, but they operate on an actual scroll, so you'd have to make your content scrollable:

Pause & restart timeline with one button

I have created a lengthy animation as a prop for a TV
production. They want to be able to start and stop the animation at
will using only the mouse without anything being seen on the
screen. To do this I want to make an invisible button that covers
the entire screen. I know how to make it either start or stop, what
I can't figure out is how to make the invisible button start and
stop the timeline with alternative clicks ie click 1 starts it,
click 2 stops it, click 3 restarts ad infinitum.
Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Cevema,
The instance name is the instance name of the clip. When you
select the
clip on the timeline, open up your Properties Inspector. In
the
lower-left-hand corner there should be a "MovieClip" pull
down and
probably a text box with "<Instance Name>" in it. This
is how Flash
recognizes which clip you want to target. Add the name here
(no spaces,
don't start with a number, no special characters), and this
is your
instance name. Then, replace the "someClip" with the instance
name. Say
you used, "myInstance" for the instance name, your code would
be:
this._parent.myInstance...
You would do this anywhere where "someClip" appeared in the
example I
showed you.
In order for that code to work correctly, you will need to
ensure that
it is ON the button (not the timeline or anything). Also,
your clip
instance needs to be BESIDE your button on the timeline.
Here's how:
1. Your movie clip (the one to control) should be on a frame.
The button
you want to use to control the clip should be on the same
frame. It
shouldn't be inside the clip you want to control, in another
scene, or
anywhere else.
2. When adding code to your button, select it (don't open it
so you can
see "DOWN"/"UP"/"OVER" frames), hit F9 (or open the actions
panel) and
add the code there.
The reason you need to be careful when adding this code is
because of
something called scope. You'll notice that in the code I use
a keywor
called "this". It literally means...this! So if you are
putting this
code inside of some movie clip, "this" will refer to the
movie clip. In
this case, "this" refers to the button. "_parent" refers to
the movie
clip in which the button lives. It's like a word map....
this._parent.someInstance >>> From "this", look in
my "parent", and in
there look for something with instance name "someInstance".
Hope that clears it up.

ListView drag and drop - tearoff/resort with touch

I want to use drag and drop internally within a ListView to resort items.
I figured it out, and it worked well on my development system in the simulator using a mouse, but when I moved it to a tablet for testing, using the touch screen I couldn't get the items in the list to break free when I pulled them horizontally. They would
bounce a little but I wouldn't tear off and allow me to move them.
After some testing I happened to try it with the stylus, and using the stylus it tears of and allows me to move items as expected.
Does anyone know what flag or setting I need to be setting to enable moving ListView items with finger touches?
Parenthetically it took me a long while to find the right documentation spread over a number of questions, so for the benefit of those that find this message:
you need to set
CanReorderItems="True" AllowDrop="True" CanDragItems="True"
to enable the tearoff resort feature
to access the Drop event after the user has used tear off so you can record the changes you need to use
itemListView.AddHandler(Control.DropEvent, new DragEventHandler(itemListView_Drop), true );
instead of setting the event handler in the xaml

I think to get your scenario working with touch I only had to make a one-line fix:
In ItemsPage.xaml line 86, setting IsSwipeEnabled to True will enable tear off via touch.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.listviewbase.isswipeenabled.aspx
This is specifically needed for touch because with a ScrollViewer (which ListView contains by default) causes panning, but mouse / pen do not. Thus, this setting turns on special processing to decide whether you're panning the ListView control or trying
to tear off perpindicular to the control.
When I created my own repro project from your data, I didn't get it initially because for a default ListView object, the property is true.
Hope this helps,

Hi Wikowiko!
If you want to be able to control your Apple TV through your iPad, you will want to download a free app from Apple called Remote. An article we have published online can help you understand more of the features of the Remote app, and can be found here:

Playing Spades with touch screen

Just got a new 9930 with touch screen. Attempted to play Spades using touch screen but fingers too big to hit individual cards well. Is there a way to play games using track ball like older devices?

Hi
Firstly thanks for the reply, then i have to ask is there any way you can change the layout of the music control screen when its in the unlocked format as even though it will stay on as long as you want it to, its at the bottom of the screen and not the middle or top.
again thanks

iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)

I have 3dparty software wirelessly with a cryptographic authentication system without my consent (seems to be new technology developed by stanford) obtaining ownership of my iPhone 4s software and controlling it with remote device to jail break. Now what?

I have 3rd party software wirelessly injected and used on my iphone with a cryptographic authentication system without my consent (seems to be new technology developed by stanford and apple security is not updated for this technology) obtaining ownership of my iPhone 4s software and controlling it with remote device to jail breaking my phone, adding and removing software, changing settings all from a remotely controled device from different location (I have a Mac address I'd of this device to know for sure). Almost undetectable. When I look at the legal section of my phone it shows a list of all the unauthorized 3rd party software "as is" copyright encrypted on the phone. This is the most basic way to legally steal software of any kind. Because of this legalality 3rd party ownership have total control of certain software correlated with hardware use including visualization technology, etc. most people luckily will never have this happen to them so it's unlikely many readers have not a clue of what I'm saying currently. Either way, without needing to obtain specific warranty of any kind "as is" copyright control makes system restores not a solution because the source code is not directly encrypted on the actual hardware device only a copy right notice must appear on the specific device 3rd party software validation making it extremely difficult for me to take control of the situation. Apple claims their iOS technology prevents this type copyright obstruction from being possible, however, according to my phone a new form of technology was used developed by Tom wu of Stanford university called the STANFORD SRP AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY which uses Some form of cryptographic authentication system and uses quote "secure remote password" which seems to suceed in hacking iOS apple technology apple claims is not possible to jailbreak an unstolen phone or without the owners consent As well as loading the device with 3rd party copyright Notices to make all of this legalized. My phone shows atleast 30 pages worth of legalized 3rd party copyright permissions! Yesterday my apple care provider labeled me a jailbreaker and refused to look at my legal documented proof which completely blew my mind because it voides my apple care contract I spent 100 on. This employee did not take all factors into consideration and made quick assumptions as well as verbally speaking to me as I'm an automatic criminal. I left the store yesterday with no payed insurance help on a problem I had no control over and couldn't prevent, leaving with voided contracts. This is an apple users worst nightmare and I have spent days researching all of this like i am some kind of lawyer only to be able to use my phone the way it should and spent alot of money on. I can legally backup any claim I have just wrote above currently and have a large source of data collected to prove apple is wrong in voiding insurance support on this issue. The problem lies in apple avoiding and not wanting to believe their software can legally be obtained ot "hacked". Yet still labeled a jailbreaker basically.. What should I do????? Been to local apple store 3 times and rebooted my phone as well sprint service restore 4 times and spoke with reps twiice on the phone. Spoke with my phone provider who said apple has full control over these matters so they can't help me. My case is according to apple "still open"...Anyone else heard of this or of Stanford's office of technology licensing? Maybe I need to buy a blackberry again or just use a landline so I can stop being my own lawyer and focus on other productive areas in life instead of this horrible mess. I shouldn't have to prove to apple I not a jailbreaker they should have to prove I'm one before voiding support I desperately need!!

Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_software
Yes, Tom Wu of Stanford wrote a paper on something called Secure Remote Access Protocol. It's a form of Asymetric Key Exchange and has nothing to do with hacking anything. It's actually intended to protect data.

How to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change a setting in the Java Control Panel with command line or with a script. I want to enable "Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
I can't seem to find any documentation on how to change settings in the Java Control Panel via the command line
Edited by: 897133 on Nov 14, 2011 7:15 AM

OK figured it out. This is for the next person seeking the same solution.
When you click on the Java Control Panel (found in the Control panel) in any version of Windows, it first looks for a System Wide Java Configuration (found here: C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment). At this point you must be wondering why you don't have this folder (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) or why its empty. Well, for an enterprise environment, you have to create it and place something in it - it doesn't exist by default. So you'll need a script (I used Autoit) to create the directory structure and place the the two files into it. The two files are "deployment.properties" and "deployment.config".
Example: When you click on the Java Control Panel it first checks to see if this directory exists (C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment) and then checks if there is a "deployment.config". If there is one it opens it and reads it. If it doesn't exist, Java creates user settings found here C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7.
__deployment.config__
It should look like this inside:
*#deployment.config*
*#Mon Nov 14 13:06:38 AST 2011*
*# The First line below specifies if this config is mandatory which is simple enough*
*# The second line just tells Java where to the properties of your Java Configuration*
*# NOTE: These java settings will be applied to each user file and will overwrite existing ones*
deployment.system.config.mandatory=True
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
If you look in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment on Windows 7 for example you will find "deployment.properties". You can use this as your default example and add your settings to it.
How?
Easy. If you want to add *"Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"*
Add this line:
deployment.security.SSLv2Hello=true
Maybe you want to disable Java update (which is a big problem for enterprises)
Add these lines:
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
Below is a basic AutoIt script you could use (It compiles the files into the executable. When you compile the script the two Java files must be in the directory you specify in the FileInstall line, which can be anything you choose. It will also create your directory structure):
#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
Func _JavaConfig()
     $ConfigFile_1 = @TempDir & "\deployment.properties"
     $ConfigFile_2 = @TempDir & "\deployment.config"
     FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.properties", $ConfigFile_1)
FileInstall ("D:\My Documents\Autoit\Java config\deployment.config", $ConfigFile_2)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_1, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     FileCopy($ConfigFile_2, @WindowsDir & "\Sun\Java\Deployment\", 9)
     Sleep(10000)
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.properties")
     FileDelete(@TempDir & "\deployment.config")
EndFunc
_JavaConfig()
Now if you have SCUP and have setup Self Cert for your organization, you just need to create a SCUP update for JRE.

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
Anyone else have this problem?

My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

I want to go back to the previous 2014.2 version. .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

2014 .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.
