How do I use Edge Animate to make a clickable image which can be used in Author, and which will redirect you to a different page in your ebook?

If anyone has experience with Edge Animate, I know that I can make an image clickable, and I can insert a url to define where it will go once clicked. But I want to make a widget to use in iBooks Author, that can take the reader to a certain page of the book. Is this possible?
It all seems very complicated. Make one thing in Edge Animate, then somehow have that reference something in Author, which will finally work in an ebook. I have no clue where to begin.

Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
Let me know if you have any luck.
//Check to see if pageCounter already exists
if (typeof EC.pageCounter === 'undefined') {
// it doesn't exist so initialize it to first page
EC.pageCounter = 2;
//check if the page is only 1 digit -- patch for single digit
if (EC.pageCounter < 9) {
// it is, so we need to pad a 0 on the front.
EC.pageCounterString = "0" + EC.pageCounter;
//e.g. 01 ...09,11,12,13....115,222352,,....
else {
EC.pageCounterString = EC.pageCounter;
EC.loadComposition(EC.pageCounterString + "/publish/web/" + EC.pageCounterString + ".html", sym.$("container"));
EC.pageCounter = EC.pageCounter + 1;
//TODO for back -1

edit your button and add a big shape to its hit frame.

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

Use Edge Animate in Powerpoint

Hi,
I know someone else has posted this same question in the forum, I'm wondering if someone can answer the question as I'd like to know as well.
How do you use Edge Animate files/exports into a Powerpoint slide? I know that you can always save as a swf file and insert it that way, but how about html 5 code?
Please advise.
Thank you!
Susanne

Hi, Susanne-
This really is more of a PowerPoint question than a question about Animate. I did a quick web search and came up with a plugin that might suit what you're trying to do. That being said, most people seem to agree that this really isn't what PowerPoint was designed for, so your mileage may vary.

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*

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server? Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server? Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

Yes it will work. I've done it for a few users in my small office. As with anything, there are quirks that you may or may not experience. Most quirks are app-related, due to app developers hard-coding absolute paths into their apps for things like temp files (Photoshop). Strategies for resolving these sorts of quirks can be found via google. You would probably have seen these quirks already when using server-based home folders for your kids. If you haven't noticed them, then you're probably fine.
The tech note you cited should be fine. It doesn't explicitly say so, but you'll need to enable ssh on your server, at least temporarily, so you can upload your home folder to the server using scp, rsync, etc. Don't try to copy the files up to the server via Finder.
Once all your files are transferred to the server and in the right place, make sure to chown them on the server, so they are owned by the userID you created for yourself on the server.
As with anything this involved, make a good backup of your laptop first.
Note I have one user that isn't too happy with the responsiveness of the periodic mobile home syncing. She has about a decade of e-mail in her home folder, probably 50 to 100 emails per day, many with attachments. Mobile home syncing takes a long time to check and sync this huge tree of itty-bitty files, eevn with server-side file tracking turned on. The other users are happy.
The nice thing about mobile home syncing is that when a user "graduates" to an age where they've earned their own laptop, you can change them from a server home user to a mobile home user, with a minimum of fuss. Also, if you lose or break a laptop, you can add a new replacement laptop to your network, and pull-down a replica of the home folder from the server, with almost no downtime.

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,
