How do I create an interactive map?

How do I create an interactive map using digital publishing suite in InDesign? Basically it's an amusement park map and when you click on a button I want a description page of a ride to show that has interactivity on it and then it can be closed and another button on the map can be clicked to show another description page of a different ride. Is that possible?

Use a multi state object. Depending upon how many point of interest you want on that map it can get pretty involved.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

    We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer.  Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
    I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making).  However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
    Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
    Thanks,
    Bob Kendall

    For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

  • How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

    I'm seeking a little guidance -
    How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
    The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
    I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
    I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
    I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
    If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

  • How do I create a Bing Maps route that stays on a U.S. Route number for tourism/scenic purposes?

    How do I create a Bing Maps route that stays on a U.S. Route number for tourism/scenic purposes?  I want to go from point a to point b while staying as much as possible on a US route number, such as US 6 or US 20 or US 101 or US 40, (and the defunct
    US 66).
    Instead of dragging points back to the road every time it pulls you onto a faster route, can I just say "use RT20 as much as possible?"
    Or as simple as choosing a point on a US Route and selecting the entire length as a trip.   The idea is to plan trips throughout the USA avoiding interstates, and staying on the actual original routes.
    I am posting this here at request from Microsoft Support Engineer as a more complex request.

    This is already on the feature request list from one other person. This would take a lot of work to implement from a technical side of things. given that only one other person has requested this, there isn't much of a business case for this yet.

  • Creating an interactive map, using buttons, help!?

    Hi,
    I am attempting to create an interactive map of the college I work at.  I have created a button and when you click on the area, it displays info about the particular room or subject.
    I am using Oject States for the room/subject info and when you press the button to select it, when the room info is displayed (as it should), but the button appears on the top of it.
    I would also like to have a back/close button to go back the the original map.
    Please help, I am new to this and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    Having also viewed this video on creating a tooltip.
    Im still having problems after viewing the above video's to get Multi State Objects viewing correctly on the iPad.

  • How do I create an interactive e-portfolio?

    I'm a marketer/writer/journalist and need to create an interactive e-portfolio that I can burn to CD/DVD, infact have the flexibility to use in many different formats. I'd like it to have different sections for the different categories of work that I cover. So for instance, one element could be the ads that I've produced, another could be web copy I've created with say a screenshot linking through to the actual site, and another could be the articles I've written broken down by industry sector. Can anyone help? What software would provide the flexibility to do this?

    Use a multi state object. Depending upon how many point of interest you want on that map it can get pretty involved.

  • 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*

  • How was this created? 3D map

    Can someone help me with how this was created. The 3D look of the states coming out of the map? Also the sides look cut too.
    Thanks

    Yup - an extrusion. To do this in Illustrator, select each of your shapes that make up the states you want coming out at you. Group them (Cmd or ctrl + G) and with your Group selected go to Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. Set the extrude depth to match the effect you are after. The image you posted looks like some perspective has been added too. If you want a different colour for the cut sides, make sure your shapes have got a stroke applied.
    Good luck.

  • Problem in creating an interactive map

    Hello,
    Fist thinks fist, I'm so glad and excited to discover this community, and i hope to have fun learning from you
    well, I'm trying to make an interactive map on fireworks, i created pictures of different countries thanks to the magic tool (see capture 1), now i'm trying to make each of those pictures a button. is there some way to make them all in the same time instead of going one after an other (which i think will take me a decate to finish them all !) ?
    Thanks

    Hi Ned, thanks for your answer. that's right, i prefer fireworks over photoshop too !
    I've decided to develop the map in fireworks then take it to edge animate to make some fancy animations, in fireworks i want to creat buttons for each country, do you know a way to creat all buttons for all countries in the same time instead creating one after an other (it's gonna take me a decade to finish them all !).

  • Creating an interactive map?

    I'm looking to make an interactive map that will do the following:
    1) portions of the map will change from white to blue when scrolled over
    2) will point towards a different link when different sections of the map are clicked on.
    I've got #2 mostly figured out, but I need help  getting the different regions of the map to change colors when highlighted.  Can someone kindly help me with this?
    thank you,
    Anthony

    One way would be to make each portion a twooframed movieclip with one frame having the white and the other having the blue.  Use ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT event listeners to control which frame is displayed.
