Create iOS app using edge animate and DPS

I was investigating the potential for using edge animate compositions and digital publishing suite to create single edition iOS apps.
After some trial and error I have been able to create a basic iOS app for kids, using EA and DPS. The app was approved and placed in the app store. See the below link:
https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=786031451&mt=8
For future reference do you have specific documentation/guidelines on using EA compositions to create DPS single edition apps? I was hoping to get a better understanding of the potential for using html5 compositions in iOS apps (and limitations).

Hi, Andrew-
What specifically are you looking for? It's unclear if you're looking for best practices or other documentation. Thanks,

Web fonts from Edge Animate and DPS

I've read all of the existing threads on this matter and I'm still a bit confused.
I get that typekit web fonts won't render offline. But if that is the case, how can you ever use a custom web font from Edge Animate in a DPS publication? Considering you can only use web fonts in Animate...
We have a desktop license for this font as well. So is there a way to get my animate project to call the desktop font rather than the web font?
Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated.
- Dylan

I haven’t tried it so this may be a shot in the dark but you might be able to hack into the CSS and use @font-face to call a local font.
Check the license of the font to be sure it allows this.

Can I use Edge Animate and PhoneGap Build to create iPad apps?

I know you can use this combination for smart phones, but does PhoneGap also support tablets?
Thanks

Not sure if this helps you. I'm going through the same problem. Even raised this issue here in the forum and nobody could help me. So I sought help forum PhoneGapBuild. Looks like PhoneGapBuild not recognize <audio> of html5, so need to use api audio PhoneGapBuild own. Here's a link to my post. Tutorial on how to make by Chris Griffith. I hope this helps you too.

Embedding audio and animation into DPS using Edge Animate CC

Hello all,
I'm using all CC programs.
I've created an animation in Edge Animate that I would like to place into my InDesign doc for DPS.
The animations match up with sound file that I've imported into my EA file. I've tried using the buzz.js script (step-by-step as per the video tutorials I saw), but to no avail.
Is there a way to place/embed the animation along with the sound for DPS?
The animation will need to be simultaneously activated by the user to play.
Thank you very much in advanced for your help—hopefully there is a solution or some sort of work-around!
lv

Would you be able to supply a link to your past messages? I'm not sure what messages you're talking about.
Also, I do not need an audio over an audio—just one that plays while an animation plays.
Would that be the same concept?
Thank you.

I am a new using Adobe products, and I am creating an Animation using Edge Animation.....

Hi guys.
As I said, I am new working with Adobe products, like Dw, and now I am creating an animation using Edge Animation.
Actually, I am creating a carrousel with different pictures representing three different apps being displayed from different devices, moving them and creating a simulated
movement for each one, based on the functionality, that action should be activated by a button (i.e.) titled "Inventory", the action to execute is to move
the three related screens ( Desktop, Ipad and Iphone ) from the original position to the middle screen, but at the same time, and this is what I need to know,
If there is another set of screens for a different application, how to move those back to the original position, before moving
the selected one, "Inventory". I tried to use a duplicated transition and inverting, it works, but it doesn't stop waiting for a new action, and how to combine
that movement back with the selected app-transition?
I put two screenshots with the stage and the original position for all of them. I have not created the buttons yet. I imagine I should use some kind
of conditional statements to execute the action sending back those elements located in the middle of screen, because were selected before,
and then execute to animation to move the selected app.
I would appreciate your help on this matter.
Thanks.

original Position.
After the First animation for Inventory App.

No answers, Ok.
I will try to give you more information about I want to do.
I am a Filemaker Developer, and I started creating my webpage, and one of thing I would like to do is this
animation and put it on my website.
What I want is to simulate a carrousel of options to show the selected application using the three buttons,
Now, I put the three buttons and each one of them is moving the three corresponding applications, that's fine.
But the issue I have :
I am using Mouseover and Mouseout to show a different color and size of the buttons, and to execute the
corresponding animation.
For each event I created different labels : Inventory_hover ; Inventory_mouseover ; Inventory_Animation and
Inventory_Animation_Reverse and so on.
Testing that
After I selected one of them, and it ended moving the three pictures to the center of the screen, and then I
leave, the three screens moved to the original position, which is not a bad idea, but I want to control that
moving.
So, what I want as a summary is :
1) to control that back movement. I was trying to figure out how to add some code inside the Animation code, and
just before execute that animation, check if there is another application selected before, and then move that
set of pictures back to the original position, since I have only three applications pictures, and only one can move
at the time, the checking "If Statements" would be for two others conditions.
2) That should be done only when one of the buttons is clicked, and not when the mouse leaves the buttons like it
is happening now.
I attached a zip file with my EA files.
Thank you in advance, Any help would be really appreciated.

Is it possible (or feasible) to create an entire website full of animations using Edge Animate?

Back when Adobe Edge preview first came out I tried making this site:
http://www.bluekanji.net based on a friends request to have everything animate, with sound effects, music, etc. It didn't turn out too well and the coding is a mess because of my lack of coding knowledge and trying to jam stuff in there when Edge didn't allow it at the time.
I'm currently recreating the site from scratch, but hoping to make it all one cohesive page, instead of every animation having to be on a new page.
My main issue now is that when I have any animation play the next one will overlap and block one another and it becomes a pretty big mess. So my question is is it possible to do a full site full of animations with Edge Animate (and/or with Edge Reflow)? Or is it better to try something else?
Thanks.

There has been many new features added post the preview releases. You can check the below links for information on what added in 2.0,3.0 and CC 2014 releases.

Can you create an app using Adobe DPS, then pass the Folio to a programmer to add interactivity?

I'd like to know if I can create an app using Adobe DPS, then pass the folio to a programmer to add advanced interactivity that DPS doesn't provide. I would like the programmer to use either XCode or Android SDK because it is a standard, but they can also use C#, JavaScript, and several other coding languages. The folio would serve the purpose of a tight digital comp for the programmer.

Thanks for your help Bob! I found this article on the Adobe site. Figured I'd share it. http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/help/import-html-articles.html

Create iPhone app using DPS

When I created an app several months ago, I remember reading something about how InDesign didn't support the publishing of apps (or something to that effect) for the iPhone. I created my app for the iPad and now can't find the exact reason as to why I couldn't make it for the iPhone. It dosen't have to do with the creation of it because I know you can choose an iPhone as your target device when setting up the folio in InDesign.
Does anyone know where I might find my long-lost answer to this?
Thanks in advance!

If you want to build for the iPhone using DPS, it "has" to be a multi-folio app - and since its a multi-folio app, it "has" to be hosted with Adobe
Charging for the app will limit your traffic, and giving the app for free is the way to go - however, you have to have a free folio and you will be charged by Adobe for every folio download
Lots of traffic to free app + many downloads to free folio may make this model not cost effective...
After lots of research and trying to figure this out, I dont believe DPS is the way to go when building a single-folio app for the iPhone - just my take
Had to go elsewhere to accomplish this and build apps for the iphone.
and this is on my #1 wish list for sure... I would love to build single folio apps for the iPhone without having to pay for every download.

Advice on using Edge Animate & Interactive SVG to create an interactive map

Hello folks, I'm hoping for some guidance on a complicated graphic. My org. has an existing interactive map which was created by a freelancer for us using Ruby and js. It's very nice but I wanted to see if it's possible to recreate using Edge Animate (both as a challenge to myself and as a way of being able to move ownership of it in-house). Here's the map:
http://csai-online.org/sos
I have done a fair amount of work in Edge Animate but have mostly stuck with simple interactivity (play, repeat, navigation links, etc.) so this would be a stretch. But I'm thinking that the map itself (with various shadings) could be recreated using Edge Commons' Interactive SVG function. I would create the map in Illustrator as an svg with different layers for each group of states, which would then be activated by the buttons in Edge Animate. (The floating box could be done entirely in Animate.)
So my questions are,
- Does this seem doable, and has anyone done something similar?
- How do I trigger the layer visibility toggle from Edge? There's a tutorial from Edge Commons which changes the color of an object by CSS, but it seems like it would be simpler to use layer visibility.
- Some of the combinations of checkboxes result in States that are in multiple groups (resulting in a striped fill). I'm guessing I'd need to add some code to indicate that if buttons X and Y were both checked, a third combined layer would be shown. (A further complication is that each of the groups of buttons shuts off the other groups.)
Alternately, it seems like I could also create each state as a series of differently-colored graphics which are then shown or hidden based on which buttons are checked (using arrays, maybe?), but that seems a messier due to the million separate images.
Anyway, how would you approach this problem, I guess is my main question.
Thanks very much.

This looks pretty simple to me and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it in edge animate.
Create each state as a button and animate the hover effects inside a symbol and then on the main timeline animate the content boxes opacity to on and off and set labels for each "on" state and then in your button link to that label in the mouse over actions preset.u
As far as calling the bottom content into the div i would just do that by hand by grabbing a simple script off the internet. *theres loads*

Constant crashes with Edge Animate and Yosemite

I'm using Edge Animate running on a macbook pro and it is crashing every few minutes (like many others are reporting).
The program is up-to-date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it.
Sometimes after a minute or two of working, the display features disappear. Old bounding boxes remain but, with some careful cursor action, I can still manipulate the image or symbol. . . until the entire program freezes. Other times things just stop working (e.g., motion paths). The only solution is to force quit the program -- the button on the crash notice rarely works.
Each time it crashes, it seems to create another Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014.1 Helper in the Activity Monitor (don't know what that means). I've tried deleting them but it doesn't help.
In the console, I get
2/18/15 9:16:30.612 AM Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014.1[4172]: *** Assertion failure in -[NSEvent subtype], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1343.16/AppKit.subproj/NSEvent.m:2427
There are 43 lines (!!!) that are identical to the one above.
This is obviously a known problem and needs to be acknowledged and fixed!

Hi L Nordstrom,
- If you have Dropbox installed, uninstall the software and retry.
- If you are accessing files from a remote network, copy them to your local computer, and retry.
Let us know if you still face issues.
Thanks,

Using Edge Animate with Captivate

I'd like to use Edge Animate to do some animation work and then bring this in to captivate. Is there any way to do this?
I'm very new to all this, so not to sure the best methodology to use to add some interactive elements into Captivate. Right now I'm using custom illustrations designed in Illustrator that I want to make interactive and animated in Captivate.

Okay, It looks like using the Adobe Captivate App Packager is the way to go in order to get an Edge Animation into Captivate http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/captivate-app-packager.html.
My issue is that I can't seem to select the adobe edge animation (either the project file or the published web folder) from the Adobe Captivate App Packager.
Has anyone succesfully done this and willing to share their wisdom

Adobe Animate and DPS

Hey guys,
Heres my little problem; I have two objects animated in Animate, when I load 1 into DPS, it plays fine but when I put two (which i need), only one plays, whichever gets touched first and the other one freezes and doesnt do anything.
here is what ive tried:
set both to auto-play with a delay of .125 or above that and set auto-play on Animate Doc.
set only auto-play (.125 delay or more) on the web overlay only
set auto-play only on Animate Doc.
set the doc on Animate to play only onTouch (action)
tried to use Aimation Panel int he overlays but it only supports flash, which i think that will cause the same conflict.
none have work, only one works, whichoever the user touches first. is there any known issues with Animate and DPS?
thanks in advance for the help!

Instead of placing the OAM file, publish the Edge Animate project to
HTML and use the web content overlay to link to that.

Can Flash CS5.5 create ios app with in game purchase function?

Can I use flash CS5.5 to create ios app with in game purchase function and other ios specific functions? Is there any limitation compare to using ios native development environment? Same questions for Android OS.
Thank you very much.

First disable autoplay. It gave errors for me. Try to make the movie play with the play() command.
to embed the movie in your air bundle, just go to publish settings for your flash project. Then in that screen go to the player settings.
In the first GENERAL tab you'll see a the bottom that you can add files to your project
Propably there is allready your .swf and an .xml file in there.
Using the + icon you can add your video.
Make sure that your video is in the same directory as your . FLA file and you can use it as is (by name)
If for example your flashfile is in c:\mytest\mytest.fla and the video in c:\mytest\videos\myvideo.flv , then you will have to load your video as "videos/myvideo.flv" with a FORWARD slash, never use \
Good luck

Edge Animate and PhoneGap Build

I'm using Edge Animate together with PhoneGap Build to make an iPhone app. There are several buttons that should scroll up and down and yet remain "tap-able" What is the best way to achieve scrolling effect for button?

Anyone profiled iOS app using FlashBuilder?

We're making an iOS app using Flash Professional. I also use Flash builder for my editing.
the application also unfortunately uses AIR-specific features, such as SQLite database and NativeApplication references.
I've had luck before using the profiler by just profiling as a web application (which is what gets created when I do "create new Flash Professional Project..." in FlashBuilder.
But I am stuck on how to get FlashBuilder profiler working on this project because it always wants to launch the thing in a web browser, which can't function due to the AIR-only features.
Anyone ever gotten this combination to work? I *so* wish I could just start from an MXML wrapper and load my FLA as a swf, but silly iOS restrictions force me to have just one SWF with all my code in it.
thanks!
