Horizontal smooth scrolling

Is it possible to have longer pages (768x1500) and set it to horizontal smooth scroll. I wonder if you could upload several long articles and combine them into one article and set it to horizontal smooth scroll?

I think the Smooth Scrolling feature is designed for webpage-style vertical scrolling only. The 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical' direction settings refer to the layout orientations (your landscape and portrait layouts), not the direction of the scroll action itself.
If I understand this incorrectly, please someone jump in to correct me.
You could get around this by having horizontal Scrollable Content that fills the height of your layout but extends left-and-right. The problem is that, having reached the right-hand end of the Scrollable Content, swiping across the iPad screen will not move you on to the next page or next article. Perhaps you could get around this by adding a secret button (a 'navto' link to the next page) that overlays a button graphic that only comes into view at the end of the Scrollable Content. Not sure if this would work, though.

Smooth Scrolling : folio size VS article size

Hi
I'd like to create a smooth scrolling article just like in DPS TIPS "Effects" by Bob Bringhurst.
I follow the steps from the article but it does not work.
What I want to to is to have a 1024*768 (horizontal only) folio that includes articles that may be longer than 768 height (let's say 1024*2000).
If I create a 1024*768 FOLIO and import articles that are 1024*2000
i cannot upload because it says :
Error generating content.
[Error: The proportions of the page size must match the folio.]
If I create a 1024*2000 (example) FOLIO and then import articles that are exactly 1024*2000
- it works (well I can upload) but i can only import articles that have the exact dimensions of the folio, the DPS TIPS says "you can mix and match Smooth Scrolling and non sooth scrolling articles in a folio".
And then the problem is I never ever see the folio on my Content Viewer on the iPad then.
I can only see it it the Folio Producer.
There's a point that says "You cannot create horizontal smooth scrolling article, the workaround is to create scrollable frames, which can now include interactive overlays"
What bugs me is that in the example we can see an Horizontal Smooth Scrolling (1024*2000 just like in my examples and tests)
If the only workaround is to cretae scrollables frames, I'll do so but maybe I just missed something ?

yes it has/had.
i closed eveything, did everything again and now it works, maybe it was just a bug or i missed something, everything's fine for now thanx !

Smooth-scrolling page shrinks to fit on screen

Hi,
I'mtrying to produce a horizontally smooth-scrolling page and am facing a very odd issue. The page's dimensions are 2200*768, but the content viewer just shrinks it to fit in the screen, instead of having it fill its height and scroll sideways. (See the attached screenshot)
I am aware of the size limitation of PDF stacks on previous versions, but this happens with both PDF and PNG stacks, as well as on a v23 folio.
Also, once this problem is solved, is there a way to have the page present the horizontal center or right rather then left when it loads? I'm working on a Hebrew publication, meaning it is RTL, so having the page start from the left and scroll rightwards would not make sense
Thanks

You can’t do that. Smooth scrolling only works vertically.

Smooth scrolling on a horizontal page - how did Benjamin Moore do it?

Hi,
I'm trying to work out how Benjamin Moore did this (in their COLOURSTORIES Canadian Version). We're looking to do something similar (Different content on the horizontal and vertical formats), but can't work out how Benjamin Moore managed to get a scrolling horizontal page.
The screen shot is below:
We're looking, if possible, to have the horizontal and vertical versions of each article smooth scrolling.
Is this possible?
Also, is there a static URL for the features & bug fixes for the most recent release? I'm finding that even searching the forum thows up "This is fixed in the new release" without any reference to what the release is (v21, v22 etc). T'would be a help!
Cheers,
Simon.

Thanks Bob - my problem was not realising the "Scrolling direction" relates to the orientation of the orientation of the articles, and not as the name suggests the scrolling direction. Another fact stored in the noggin for future use

Horizontal Scrolling without Smooth Scrolling?

Hello,
I'm building an iPad presentation in InDesign using the DPS features. I'd like to make my presentation scroll through the pages horizontally, is this possible without activating smooth scrolling?

Right I see, thankyou. This is one of my first iPad presentations made using the DPS features. I've still got to get my head around some of the tips and tricks.

Smooth scrolling horizontally rather than vertically

Hi is it possible to have smooth scrolling set from left to right rather than up and down, I've done some research into smooth scrolling and all i could find was articles showing smooth scrolling vertically. If this is not possible is there another way to set a horizontal scrolling long page?
Cheers
Clinton

Hi Thanks for your response, did you mean using the scrollable frames overlay? or in the builder set the Article behaviour to smooth scroll horizontally? I basically wanted to have a really long horizontal scroller made up of a series of images. I've tried the scrollable frames overlay however once you filck to the scrollable page it locks you on the page and the only way to get out of it is to select a different chapter in the bookmarks. I've also tried setting the behaviour to smooth scroll horizontally however it still snaps to the individual pages, id prefer if you could scroll between pages? (im previewing on the content viewer for ipad, not sure if this has anything to do with it?)

Smooth Scrolling Doubts

Hi, people
I'd like to understand better how works the feature Smooth Scrolling. Because when I create a big page, ie: 1024 px (width) x 3000 px (height). This page, now, is portrait in Folio Builder, instead of landscape (1024 x 768 px)
I have many problems to create big pages and in most of the case I recieve this mensage error, when I try update the article.
Content generation error.
[Error: The page size aspect ratio must match the folio aspect ratio.]
In my last tried I managed upload one layout (1024 x 3000 px) like Portrait - worked well. But when I tried upload the Landscape (big page too) - 3000 x 768 px I didn't get.
I know that is possible have just one page (each orientations) per article, that's right?
Thanks a lot for some help

Thanks, Levine
But, even change the name to _h dosen't works. Just Vertical
Please, read the mensage from Bob - Adobe about alike issue
Bob Bringhurst
Smooth Scrolling is vertical only. You can’t use Smooth Scrolling to scroll a page horizontally. You may want to use a large scrollable frame, but leave a little room to let the user swipe to the next article.

Will be that Smooth Scrolling is vertical only?? If there are three diferent options in articles subnemu in Folio Builder Panel.
I'm a little confused
Thanks a lot

Smooth Scrolling Article, Anchors, and Static Navigation

Hi!
Quick question on a smooth scrolling article:
Let's say I have a very wide article, roughly 30,000 pixels wide with lots of photos, info, etc.. Would it be possible to have a "floating" navigation on top of this wide article?
Something sort of like this: http://i.gyazo.com/a3e5266bb08fcc7625710ff0bb0c86fa.png
The article would of course continue via the smooth scroll style.. but those square buttons below: I know I could link them to smooth scroll to a certain % of the page, but what if I want them to be available down there regardless if I keep scrolling right? In a sense, a "fixed" navigation for the page.
Thank you.

I see. Hmm.. I bet one solution that would answer both the smooth scrolling, the navigation, and the memory problem would be:
What if I have say 20 pages, that are horizontal format. Each one has the timeline at the bottom which links to the corresponding page, such as a month (Jan) for page 1.
The client basically wants a long, seamless sequence of events in a timeline style where when you swipe left or right, they feel connected but have their own images, info, etc., but the background would be seamless. They want a way to navigate between each event via a timeline at the bottom.

Smooth Scrolling made clear and easy

A new folio appeared in Bob Bringhurst's jewel app "DPS Tips", discussing all kinds of special content and interaction. In the Smooth Scrolling section it states that you cannot create Smooth Scrolling articles simply by "Adding" an article. This should be achieved by "Importing" Articles. And it specifically states that you can't create horizontally scrolling articles. This baffles me ! I know it can be a bit tricky, but when explained and understood carefully, there's no problem in using the "Add" button or even to create a horizontally scrolling article on the fly.
The tricky part is, how the InDesign file (an article's half) is 'born'. To be able to use the "Add" button to create a properly scrolling article, you must check that the Document Setup upon making a new file (or even later on) is set to the proper single-page size (in a 3:4 dimension) and with the desired orientation (landscape or portrait), before you hit the "Add" button. Because this is where the Folio Builder gets its information from about the dimension and orientation. Afterwards, you set the page's length with the Page Selection tool – but take care: ONLY the length ! DO NOT use the width or orientation properties with this tool, nor use the Height setting in the Document Setup, although these seem very obvious for this task. You can even correct a page afterwards, and get the "adding" right (and lengthen it properly) if it has been malformed and unaccepted by the Folio Builder before.
So, to conclude: start a scrolling page with a single page, normal size (1024x768), landscape or portrait, add it to the Folio, and then lengthen the page with the Page tool's Height setting. Don't forget to set the Smooth Scrolling option accordingly among the Article's properties in the Folio Builder panel. No big deal !

That's indeed the culprit: when you have already set the elongated landscape page upon New Document. But it's still easy to correct that afterwards: switch it back to 768 in Document Settings (the cropped content becomes invisible but remains in place), aAdd the layout (it will become the landscape version), and stretch the page to the desired length with the Page tool's Height property.
Both methods can be difficult, depending on the way you prefer to work. Visual designers who already find it hard to keep track of a Package folder will shiver upon seeing the rigid hierarchy of a Folio folder; technical users won't mind preparing a folder stucture like that. Using ADPS requires many more unlogical steps than just this, like updating a design (not at folio or layout level, but only the whole Article) or discovering that one missing or extraneous orientation prevents the folio to be previewed.
So either way it is fishy...
But I'm glad that this aspect will be tackled by an update, soon !

How to make the Smooth Scrolling work even H Swipe is tick?

In my article, if I tick the H Swipe only and the Smooth Scrolling is Both direction, Why is it in previewing it in my iPad the Scrolling seems Off because it's snapping into the pages.
Smooth scrolling is not working if H Swipe only is tick.
How to make the Smooth Scrolling work even H Swipe is tick?

Horizontal scrolling is only for 1024x768 or 768x1024 pages. That’s it.
You cannot combine horizontal only with smooth scrolling.

Smooth scrolling + alternate layout

Hi..
Im tryin to make a smooth scrolling article, for both horizontal and vertical use.
After creating the horizontal page, I try to do the vertical via 'Create Alternate Layout', and change the dimensions.
So far so good. The problem is, that the vertical page upscales the content – while the horizontal looks fine – when previewing the article..
If I do it the other way around (starting with the vertical page), the horizontal page downscales the content..
Doeas anyone know what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance!

And make sure the article is set to Smooth Scrolling in both directions.

Completely smooth scrolling - impossible?

is it impossible to create completely smooth scrolling in
Flash?
look here:
http://public.develop.fyens.dk/choppy.html
it's moving one pixel per frame, at a framerate of 60 frames
per second, and the hardware frequency of my monitor is 60 Hz, so
it should be scrolling
completely smoothly.
but every second or so, it drops a frame - it's not
completely smooth.
you can get the source here, if you screen is not set to 60
Hz you may need to change the framerate:
http://public.develop.fyens.dk/choppy.zip
now, then - assuming that Flash was somehow unsuitable for
this kind of task, I went ahead and wrote a win32 application
instead ... with the exact same result! ... animation in windows
just does not seem to run smoothly ... could it be a driver issue,
or is it a general limitation in windows?
I then changed my application to full-screen, and it runs
smoothly.
but having to port our entire flash application to a real
win32 application running full-screen would be a big task.
any idea if 100% smooth scrolling is possible with Flash or
not?
is there something I can turn on or off in Windows somewhere
to make it go smoothly?
Thanks!

Of course, no, nobody is going to change the refresh rate of
their monitor to accomodate an animation :) .... but the animation
I'm working on is for a large LCD display in the street, and it
runs at 60 FPS, which is why I'm targeting this framerate
specifically.
I don't believe that 60 FPS is overdoing it - I've tried on
three different systems (with a DELL monitor, a BENQ monitor, and
the large LCD matrix display), all of which have abundant CPU power
to pull off an animation at 60 FPS - I've checked the CPU meter,
the animation uses about 5-10% CPU on all three systems.
The difference between 60 and 30 FPS is certainly not
academic - there is a clear visual difference, 60 FPS for slow
scrolling text gives a clearer more stable image .... the same
animation, e.g. moving twice as fast (2 pixels per frame) and
playing at 30 FPS looks slightly blurry on the horizontal. I'm
guessing this is because the screen is still updating at 60 FPS,
which means it's actually painting each frame of the animation
twice - and since the graphics card driver won't allow me to change
the update frequency of the display to 30 FPS, well...
Apart from that, reducing my animation to 30 FPS does not
help - I still get a jerk or flicker in the animation every second
or so, and it's actually worse than it is at 60 FPS.
Please compare for yourself the two versions here:
http://public.develop.fyens.dk/choppy.html
As you should be able to see, there is a clear visual
difference between the 30 and 60 FPS versions.
While, yes, movies in the cinema run at 25 FPS, these images
are actually projected at a rate of 25 FPS - if you displayed 25
FPS at a physical update frequency of 30 FPS, for example, you
would get extremely jerky looking motion, since some frames would
get twice as long (two updates) as others...
Also, you can't really compare a movie to a scrolling text -
because the scrolling text is a single object moving at a fixed
rate, the eye will instantly detect any variation in speed or any
flicker in the display update. Detecting variations in framerate on
movie material (such as the ads we play back periodically in the
flash player on the same screen) is almost impossible, because the
entire screen contains elements moving in varying directions at
varying rates...
It's like the Flash player is not properly synchronizing it's
display updates to the update frequency of the screen - having some
game development experience, I would say it looks like it's not
waiting for a vertical refresh before it updates. I'm guessing it
probably times it's display updates with a timer, and just paints
without waiting for vertical refresh.
Finally, as said, a full-screen Windows application can
produce completely smooth output at 60 FPS, while a windowed
application displays the same artifacts I saw in the Flash player.
This was reproducible on three different systems.
I thought there might be "something" else running in the
background on these computers, that would cause the CPU to spike
every second, thus lagging the update of the Flash player ... but
having closed all services and processes not directly necessary to
keep the system running, it's still jerky. And the fact that it's
smooth in full-screen mode also goes against this idea.
So it looks like a limitation of Windows, or the graphics
card drivers (NVidia-chip based cards in all three systems), and/or
a hard-to-beat limitation of Flash and windowed applications in
general - I can't tell which...

How can I get back the two button smooth scroll with Logitec optical marble mouse since Adobe Acrobat or FireFox updates on 10/26/2010 made it quit?

Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
Thank you

I am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!

How can I make the Smooth Scrolling option in the Advanced menu apply ONLY to the tab bar?

So, I'm one of those people who usually have 60+ tabs open at any given time. I'm also on a Lenovo laptop with a trackpoint (that may be relevant later).
Right now, I have smooth scrolling disabled.
In previous versions of Firefox, if I sat my cursor on the tab bar and scrolled either up or down, it would scroll across my tab bar at a constant, quick rate, usually taking about two or three seconds to reach the end. This wasn't an animated scroll (I've disabled that animated scroll via about:config in the current Firefox version).
However, now, it's doing something different. There's acceleration to the scroll. If I just tap the scroll in either direction, it scrolls only a few tabs. However, if I hold the scroll for a second, it instantaneously takes me to the far end of the tab bar, completely skipping at least thirty tabs in between.
I have tab scroll buttons added by Tab Mix Plus (smooth scrolling is also not enabled in that addon), and the same accelerating behavior occurs there. One or two taps of the button moves the bar a few tabs to the left or right, but several taps in quick succession takes me all the way to the far end of the bar.
I can restore the old scrolling behavior for the tab bar by turning on smooth scrolling in the Options > Advanced menu, but that turns on smooth scrolling for web pages at the same time. I don't like the web page smooth scrolling, and would rather not have it on.
Or if there's any other way to make it so that scrolling the tab bar moves the tab bar a fixed amount no matter what, that would be great.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
