Where is the "Scrollable Frame" on the Overlay Creator panel?

I can't seem to find the "Scrollable Frame" on my Overlay Creator panel and now I'm caught in the middle. Is there anything that I missed? I can only see the following:
Hyperlink
Slideshow
Image Sequence
Audio & Video
Panorama
Web Content
Pan & Zoom.

I know you mean the other Bob, but the purpose of that is to have something to align with the edge of the scrollable content.
Without the dummy content you wouldn’t be able to position the content. Try doing it without that and you’ll see the problem.

New Overlay Creator tools (Pullout Tabs)

Hello DPS community,
My question is in regards to the new tools available in DPS. I have created my folio for my senior degree project over the last few months. I have a 3rd generation iPad that I am previewing my project with the new version of Content Viewer.
I would like to use some of the new tools available in the latest version of the Overlay Creator, mostly for the new pan & zoom features like those Pullout Tabs Adobe has shared with us on the DPS tips app. However my Overlay Creator panel must not be up to date because it does not display these new functions like Scrollable Frame. How can I update my Overlay Creator Panel so that I can take advantage of these new features? Do I just run an update on InDesign or do I have to download a new version of the Overlay Creator? Also will updating the Overlay Creator Panel negatively effect my overall project in any way? I am a little hesitant to update because everything works well as is and I don't want to break it and go into freakout mode. Has anyone had any experiences updating to the new tools, any problems while previewing or creating on InDesign. I am waiting to hear back before I attempt to update.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Nothing new in CS6 for Overlay Creator?

Is no-one else a little dissapointed there's nothing new as far as the Overlay Creator Panel goes in InDesign? I realise javascript transitions are still in their infancy, but I was kind of hoping for further options with controlling object states and transitions.
Coming over from the Flash world, or even just the array of options that InDesign offers in the way of Flash presets, I feel there's a lack of this for .folio files.
I've been experimenting with Wallaby for a while, the massive work around to replicate a simply Flash transition is still to clunky. Even with the cleanest Flash files built from scratch (we're talking a single tween) it still throws out too many errors, but thats not my problem. The fact you can't even preview your then exported transition in the Desktop Viewer is just poor. Any good reason why this isn't possible, because having to go through the iPad Content Viewer every time is making for the longest workflow imaginable.
I suppose I should learn more about CSS3/Javascript, but I thought the point of this was what you can do inside of InDesign, without having to go InDesign > Flash > Wallaby > Opening CSS files > InDesign > Adobe DPS > iPad to make a simple animation?

@Neil,
Thought I'd let this stew for a day while I checked out Edge. Bear in mind I juggle lots of different projects on a daily basis, but manged to get to grips with it immediately. Timeline, keyframes, eases, scenes… its just like Flash. Wow! Only in a more friendly and modern Adobe interface (I always felt like Flash was stuck with some Macromedia mentality).
Very impressed with this on the surface. I've no idea what kidn of code it kicks out, and I don't care, as far as components to websites or using in conjunction with DPS this is great. I suppose our developer could always tidy up the script if need be. Very much looking forward to full release.
Quick question though
This expires in 35 days. Is it refering to my particular install or is this is message saying all copies of Edge? I just couldn't figure out if this means I won't be able to continue testing it, or everyone won't?
@Peter
I agree, this kind of thing probably should be kept out of InDesign, as its print programme at heart. Being able to edit text and produce layouts quickly is my main concern, anything the slows it down isn't helpful in my eye. I'd say there is a fair bit of Photoshop influence in there no though, layer styles have a lot to be thankful for.

OVERLAY CREATOR NOT RESPONDING

My Overlay Creator Panel is not reponding. When I try to select or click atributes any of the effects, Video, Object States, Web content Ect. nothing will apply. For example the Auto Play button for video, web, or slideshow
Ive used the panel and produced Viewer Apps before and it just stopped working. I have reinstalled that tools. Restarted machine, and indesign, everything seems to be up to date. I have tryed disconnecting from servers and still nothing can be selected in the Overlay Creator.
What can I do to troubleshoot to solve this so I can get back to producting interactive overlays.
Thansk.

Indesign restart does not help
but ... removing the old preferences and reinstalling the DPS tools solved the problem.
Thanks for the hint

Overlay creator crashing InDesign

Hello,
I've been working with DPS in InDesign CS5.5 with no problems. About five days ago I updated to the current Folio Producer Tools and Folio Panel Tools for CS5.5 and have had no problems. Today out of the blue, every time I try to open the Overlay Creator panel it crashes InDesign.
I am on a Mac and I have rebooted, trashed InDesign preferences, uninstalled the tools and reinstalled, and even went back to an earlier version of the Folio Producer and Folio Panel. I tried opening the Overlay Creator in a new blank document and it still crashes the entire program.
I'm tearing my hair out and would appreciate any new suggestions of what I might try.
Thank you,
lkovalic

Hi Dave,
I'm not sure how the server problems would affect opening the Overlay Creator -- I'm not trying to upload anything or trying to do a preview -- the simple act of trying to open the Overlay Creator extension is what is crashing InDesign. Doesn't that extension reside on my computer?
Thank you,
lkovalic

Displaying custom drawn panels in a panel with FlowLayout vs GridLayout

I am having trouble to display my custom panels(on which I have drawn) in another panel with FlowLayout. When I use this layout only a small part of their top-left corner appears, when using the GridLayout they are displayed as should, all. Why is this? Is there any way around it?
The following is the code:
package diagramillustrator;

        f.show();

Layout managers.
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel(new GridLayout());GridLayout divides the availabale space into equal cells and expands each child component to fill the cell.
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());FlowLayout attempts to show each child component at its preferred size. The preferredSize is determined by the layout manager in the process of laying out the children. For a graphic component, ie, a component with no child components, the request for the components preferredSize will return the default size which is 10,10 for JPanel. Therefore you will need to either set the preferredSize for the gtaphic component or override the getPreferredSize method and return the desired Dimension. Another limitation of FlowLayout is that it attempts to lay its children out in–line.
GridBagLayout also respects the preferredSize of child components and offers more versatility.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

    public String title = "class";
    public CD()
        super();
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(132,75));

    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        super.paintComponent(g2d);

Aperture 3: Photos don't display in browser or Viewer

Some of my photos don't display in the browser or Viewer panels. It's displayed as greyed out. I am running Aperture 3.2.2. I have tired to rebuild permissions and the database without luck. Updating the preview doesn't work either. For some of the photos, if I double click, the photo appears in the Viewer panel but when I double click it goes back to the greyed out view.

Font Title Not Displaying in Character Panel Font Menu

Just updated to OS X Yosemite and noticed that the font titles don't display in the Character Panel > Font Menu. However, they do display when rolled over with the cursor. This is only happening in Illustrator. All other Adobe apps are correctly displaying font titles. Anyone else having this problem?
Using Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 / Mac OS X Yosemite

fonts, björn, scott,
Unless three step reinstallation helps, you may wish to roll back from Yosemite and wait to see whether the issues will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone.

2 Overlay Creator questions (audio/video)

I have a video file placed with a controller selected. It works fine in the Content Viewer, but not on the iPad. When tapped on the iPad, the image just flashes on the point of contact but does not activate the video.
The other issue regards the Overlay Creator not recognizing placed audio or video files. I've placed both audio and video files (some from the Adobe tutorials from the prerelease). When selected, the Overlay Creator does not apparently register them as valid audio or video files since I can't access the OC dialog boxes.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong or possibly missing?

When your creating new overlays.. do you have an InDesign object selected first? Alot of people forget that the overlay panel shows extended options of base indesign objects. Example you have to create a hyperlink object before you can see the hyperlink options. Also make sure your updated to folio producer tools 1.01

Pan & Zoom option in Overlay Creator disabled/grayed out when trying to create scrolling text

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a scrolling text frame using the Paste Into method. I've created a long text frame, cut it, pasted into another frame. When I go to the Overlay Creator and click Pan & Zoom, it tells me to select a cropped image. I've tried an identical work flow on another computer and it works fine - the pan only radio button is available.
I've reinstalled the CS5 extensions, restarted my Mac and I can't resolve the issue. I only downloaded the extension tools last week, so I'd hope they aren't too out of date now. The About screen tells me I'm on 11.4.2.20111116_m_671500 7.0.3.13
Any help appreciated.

The best place to get the new builds is the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). You can also view the detailed help topic about installing:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html
If you install the Folio Producer tools and then the Folio Builder panel, you should be able to sign in just fine. Let us know if you still get the error.

CS6 overlay creator

Ive been using cs5.5 for app development to date but wish to change to Cs6 cloud to take advantage of free apps. However when I open project in cs6 the overlay creator is no where to be seen. Even under window - extensions it is not there, only Kuler?
Do I have to uninstall CS5.5 to make cloud work properly?
Is there likely to be any issues for work in progress using 5.5. Or should I complete project before ditching 5.5?
Any other suggestions to get Overlay creator to appear? (And yes before you ask I am in the Digital Publishing space).

Hello,
the Overlay creator is now called Folio Overlays in CS6 (along with the Folio Builder Panel) and it's available after you install the DPS Desktop Tools by going to the InDesign CS6 Help menu and choosing Updates.
You should be able to see the DPS Tools available to download in the Adobe Application Manager.
Or you could download it at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5377

Overlay creator not allowing me to Check options on "slideshow"

Hey there,
I've grouped the images into a MSO as you're supposed to, but when I go to apply the options in the Overlay Creator, the check boxes flick on but then go straight off - I've tried restarting indesign to see if it was a software fault, and I'm about to restart the computer to see if that amends the problem, but it's never done this before so I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone else having difficulties using the Slideshow panel in the Overlay Creator? None of the buttons or check boxes are working? Does someone have a handling for this?

Of course this doesn't help you ;-) but I am experiencing exactly the same issue. Have tried reinstalling also with no luck.
