How do I link to a specific frame in the timeline of an Edge document from a different page?

lI have the intro of my new website made in Adobe Edge Animate, however I don't want people to watch the intro every time they click "back". So is there a way of linking directly to a label from another page? Should I use something like:
"<a href="page_URL.com/edge_file.html" target="label_in_the_timeline">"

Hey Squeege,
I highly recommend you becoming familiar with basic javascript syntax (setting variables, functions, scope, if/else statements). Knowing at least the basics really makes Edge Animate come alive, and gives you a lot more power inside the application.
Taking the code from the other thread, you would do something like this, on Stage.compositionReady event:
// function to grab specified param
sym.getParam = function(name) {
    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
    var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
    var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
    var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
    if (results == null)
        return "";
    else
        return results[1];
// get query param called 'param', (should be "true", "false", or leave it out)
var playIntro = sym.getParam('param');
if( playIntro == "true" ) {
     // tell sym to play intro label
     sym.play( "intro" );
}else if( playIntro == "" ) {
     // tell sym to play intro label
     sym.play( "intro" );
}else if( playIntro == "false" ) {
     // tell sym to play skipIntro label
     sym.play( "skipIntro" );

    Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

    code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:
    _root.gotoAndStop('whatever_frame');  // will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf.  in that situation, you should use a relative path to the main timeline (eg,  _parent or _parent._parent etc).

  • How do I place photos in specific places in the timeline

    I don't want to build my project linearly.  I want to place photos in certain places, but when I try to import any they always go to the start of the timeline.
    How do I put these photos where I want them, so they can become my guideposts in the timeline?

    Hey Mark Burgess,
    I have an article for you about importing photos into your timeline in iMovie and positioning them correctly in your project:
    iMovie '11: Add photos from iPhoto to a project
    After you find the photo you want to use, click the photo to see a preview in the viewer. Then do one of the following to add it to your project:
    Drag it between clips or between a clip and a transition. As you drag, a vertical green line appears anyplace you can add the photo. When you add a photo, by default it is set to remain onscreen for four seconds, but you can change this duration if you want. Also, the Ken Burns effect is applied to the photo, which makes it appear as though the camera is panning across and zooming in on the image. You can modify this effect if you choose. Refer to the “See also” topics below for more information. 
    Drag the photo to a video clip; a green Add (+) symbol appears where you can drop it. From the menu that appears, you can choose to replace the video clip with the photo or insert the photo. If Advanced Tools are turned on, you can add the photo as a picture-in-picture clip, and more.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

    How do I link to a specific Hero Image from another page?

    Hi Laura,
    I am afraid that this is not possible in Muse at this stage, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.
    As a work around I will suggest that you create a dedicated page with this panel opened when you publish and link that page with the text that you want. Let me know if you need more clarification on this.

  • Button link to a specific frame in time line

    Ok I have created my buttons and the content for the specific
    frames. I have named the button and given it an instance name. I
    have also given my specific frame a name and set that label type to
    Name.
    Whats the code for turning getting my button to link to a
    specific frame?
    I've also done the stop() code in each frame as I want it to
    stop at each frame until the button is clicked again.
    I have more than one button and each will link to a different
    frame.
    Thanks.

    I've duplicated an FLA with exactly the assets you have in
    the same places, with the code on the main timeline. And mine
    didn't work, just the same problem as you had. The solution I
    proposed above works, but it is not the only way (See #2 below).
    On Frame 1, select the UIScrollbar. if you look in the
    Parameters tab of your UIScrollbar component, you'll notice that
    the
    scrolltargetName refers to
    Instance_0. This is a default instance name assigned by the
    Flash compiler, because you did not give your dynamic textfield an
    instance, and your UIscollbar is referencing that. Now go to Frame
    4. You will find that your dynamic textfield has the same instance
    name, and the UIScrollbar is referencing the same instance. Problem
    is, you have more than one textfield on more than one frame using
    and referencing the same instance name, your UIScrollbars will get
    confused as to which textfield is actually "Instance_0". The moment
    you click to another frame, you've confused the UIScrollbar(s), so
    they never work again.
    The solution is simple.
    First, put a stop() action on the first frame, if you have
    not already done so, so your timeline stays put until you click on
    a button.
    Then you can solve the problem in one of two ways:
    Give your textfields different instance names, and make sure
    the
    scrolltargetName property of each UIScrollbar refers to its
    respective textfield.
    Or set the text dynamically, which after all is what a dynamic
    textfield is for. Have only one textfield/UIscrollbar combo, on the
    first frame, and place code on a keyframe for each section which
    changes the
    text or
    htmlText property of the textfield.
    That should work. It did on mine.

  • When I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it adds several frames to my animation

    I am trying to edit an FLV file with flash professiona.  Right now every frame is on long frame sequence, meaning that right now there is only one key fram in the entire 40 second animation.  I am trying to add put key frames at various points in my animation but when I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it copies ever frame up to the selected and adds it to the front of my timeline.  Any Idea how to fix this?  I want to break my video up so I can add some shape tweens in between some of the frames

  • Show all frames in the timeline - CC version

    Show all frames option is not available in the track header anymore. How can I see all the frames inside the clips in the timeline?

    Click the picture of the wrench (or spanner if you're British) on the timeline
    Tick "show video thumbails" from the dropdown menu
    THEN go to the flyout menu on the top right of the timeline and choose "continuous video thumbnails"
    There are lots of great options in that menu for customising your timeline settings.
    Also you can create and save presets for these settings.

  • Saving frame by frame in the timeline

    I am editing a short avi clip converted from a 1959 8mm film in the timeline.  The telecine conversion results in as sharp an image as I have manged to get using PPro 5.5 unsharp mask.  I tried mocha planar tracking to automatically remove a fixed spider web on the top edge of each frame in the clip.   Because the web is not distinct and the background does not progress at a steady fixed pace, the mocha procedure was not successful.  Previous feedback recommended methods to mask the edge.  Using various masking attempts to automate the procedure was also unsuccessful for the same reasons as mocha.
    I have the time and decided to replace the spider web on each frame edge using photoshop tools e.g. clone stamp etc. - although other tools such as healing brush do not appear to work in the timeline as I expect.  My saves so far have resulted in a whole clip being saved with all following frames being modified similar to the first edited frame.  Perhaps I am not using the editing procedures in photoshop from the timeline correctly.
    How do I save frame by frame in the timeline?

    I am now at layer 50 from the frame conversion to layers with many more to go.  The results of the Polygonal Lasso Tool with copy, paste, and merge down plus the Spot Healing Brush Tool are impressive.  Most of the layers so far have had sky with clouds on top.  Because the original 8mm film converted to digital was kept in high humidity for some time, the resulting sky is blotchy and changes from layer to layer.  I started editing layer by layer but now I have experience with this, I have decided to concentrate on editing one good sky rendition then copying it to the rest of the frames.  The only glitch in the swing of things has been to remember to merge down after each paste.  Having loaned the video to someone with a dirty film gate has left some dark lines down each layer.  The Spot Healing Brush tool at 12px is incredible at removing the lines while maintaining the detail of the background.  This is tedious work but a family 8mm film from 1950s in the South Pacific is worth the effort.
    The spider web that was on the camera film gate on the top left remains fixed.  Several lines are also mostly fixed.
    I have some programming experience.  Is there a way of developing an automated maco to replace imperfections that are the same from layer to layer using Photoshop tools?

  • How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

    How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

    Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
    In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.

    In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
    An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

    The way it works in FCP:
    Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
    You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

    HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

    Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

    Technically, to make the function keys work you don't need to change the second box to dash. I don't know why I gave that advice, but it isn't necessary. I guess I said that simply because that's what I have it set to.
    The reason there are two boxes is so that you can set Exposé to using both the function keys and the mouse. For example, if I have +All Windows+ set to F9 and Secondary Mouse Button, then it will show all open windows if I click F9 or right-click. That is why you actually don't need to have the second boxes for any of these set to dashes. You could set them to your mouse buttons, or if you wanted you could set the first box of any of these to any function key, as long as it isn't set to the same one as the key you want to use for your shortcuts within FCE.
    I hope this made sense, I realize that I might not have explained it very clearly.
