How to reset an iBooks Author Html Widget?

Hi folks!
I'm using with great pleasure Adobe Edge Animate 1.0 to make Html Widgets for Apple iBooks Author!
In a composition, I've defined this variable:
var  track1 = new Audio();
        track1.src = "media/track1.m4a";
        track1.volume = 0.5;
and made it play:
track1.play();
All it works but...what if I want that - when I go out from the widget on iBooks on iPad - the track pauses?
I've coded this in my index.html file inside the widget:
    widget.pauseAudioVisual = function() {
// do this when closing Widget
$.Edge.getComposition(EDGE-114545384).getStage();
track1.pause();
widget.didEnterWidgetMode = function() {
// do this when entering widget
$.Edge.getComposition(EDGE-114545384).getStage();
track1.pause();
... but when I go out form widget the track still plays on....
Any hint?
Many thanks in advance!
Davide

I suspect the file is corrupted in some form.
Which could be a few keystrokes away from fixing or days of BS&T, sorry. There's no way to know, especially from here.
If you're handy with a text editor, crack into the xml and compare it to a behaving file to see if you can spot the issue(s). Or, do the same and carefully graft sections from it to a new file until you manage to manually rebuild.
In the end, tho, I think your time at this point is best spent simply redoing from scratch. If you have further questions, please start your own, unique thread so you can better track, close if solved, etc.
And again, to everyone....if your work has value, be sure to have a tested and reliable backup in place at all times.
Good luck.

  • How are you Using iBooks Author and Samples

    I'm curious to see how everyone is using iBooks author to create books. Are most people copy/pasting content into their book or are they directly writing the content in the book? How many have just imported the information from another word processing program? Who is using the program for creating books for children, entertainment or work-related functions?
    And that being said, I'm also interseted to see samples of how the books of others look on the iPad, including if possible the children's books, entertainment books or the work-related books. (Including how they incorporated widgets, theme in the pages, fonts, etc)
    Me personally, I have been developing two books using iBooks author for work related fuctions. The first book is a training manual for a software program; the second book is a guide to all the reports that can be created in the software program. Both books have been well received by clients.

    I generally find that, for creating the text, I'm better off with the word processor of my choice. That way, I get to focus on content and structure and I don't get distracted by layout and formatting issues. While working in the word processor, I use only the simplest of styles. (Logical styles rather than visual ones, the equivalen of HTML <H1>, <H2>, etc.
    Once I'm happy with the text and I've done the copy editing, I import into the page layout program and do the layout.
    Cheers,
    Michi.

    I'm writing books on iBooks Author, and I got a problem:

  • How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

    I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author.  The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues.  We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts.  I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
    Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

  • Ibooks author inspection widget: grayed-out title and caption options when object is selected

    I'm trying to add titles or captions to photos in an iBooks Author project. I select the photo, click on Inspector and Widget, then Layout.  The only active option on Layout is the Accessibility Notes.  Is this a bug? What am I missing?

    Right.
    You can create text boxes next to an image for title and caption, but otherwise, those are attributes for a widget with media.

  • How do you get iBooks Author to show page numbers? (All my pages are in blank layout.)

    I'm using iBooks Author 2.0 to make a picture book and can't get it to show page numbers. The "insert page numbers" menu item doesn't highlight when I'm creating a page, nor does a number magically show up when I preview the book on my iPad. Please help?
    It may have something to do with how I'm using the ToC (tried to avoid having a ToC, but that's not working out too well. Any suggestions on how to do that with a picture book would also be helpful.)
    Thanks,
    C

    Thanks K T, This definitely got page numbers to appear.
    Now I actually have to read the iBooks Author support to figure out what I'm doing wrong with the whole Section/Chapter template thing. (It would be nice to just have a simple picture book template. Not to complain.)
    Thanks for your technical support across so many issues.

  • IBooks Author HTML5 Widget won't open in full screen

    Hi,
    I am building a ebook using iBooks Author, the ebook includes HTML5 widgets on several of the pages. Upon testing the book on desktop the HTML5 widgets work as they should (opening in full screen). However, when I test this on the latest iPad air, the widgets don't open in full screen. Instead they open as tiny thumbnails inside the space of the widgets icon. Has anyone else had this problem, and found a solution for it?
    (P.S I have tested the ebook on older versions of the iPad as well, and on them the widgets open as they're supposed to - in full screen - so I am wondering if this is potentially a bug on the newer iPads?)

    Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
    If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

  • Bugs iBooks Author review widgets and text sections

    This week since updating software iTunes and on iPad 3 using Mac bookpro with Mac OS 10.7.5 the review widgets in iBook Author has a bug, which removes part of the questions and part of the answers. I am using the most recent version of iBooks Author.Any suggestions or advice? Also, another bug is that text sections have been affected to some degree with sections of sentences removed.All other wigets are running normal.

    Hello,
    I also had this issue, particularly in the Review and Pop-Over widgets. Sections of text were absent only when I previewed on iPad or Mac. This occured on OS X v10.9 Mavericks for me, so it does not seem to be isolated to one operating system. I was also running the latest version of iBooks Author.
    I was able to resolve this issue by rewriting the text in slightly different wording. Simply deleting the text and replacing it with the same text did not help. I had to actually rewrite different text that basically meant the same thing. I was not able to figure out what about the origional text was causing the problem. Try typing a variety of different sentences. Chances are, some will cause the error and some won't.

  • IBook author review widget questions not displaying correctly.

    I have a 5-question review, and after the first question, the following questions are not displayed in their entirety when previewed in iBook. Sometimes there are only 4 characters in the question. Has anyone else have this problem and have a solution?
    (I did not have this problem before upgrading to latest iBook author/ibook software.)
    Thanks!
    RFP

    Yes, I'm having problems as well with missing text in the review questions as well as some other formatting issues with floating text boxes and text-wrapping.
    My book is in English with Japanese. I'm running on a MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) with OS 10.9.1 and iBooks Author 2.1.1. I have changed the fonts many different times. I've tried adding extra spaces as someone else mentioned elsewhere. I've tried every conceivable mix of layers. I've tried with a fresh new file. All to no avail.
    I have put a lot of time and effort into my interactive Textbook and have finally finished. Now these issues are the last remaining before delivery through iTunes Producer.
    FYI, I have previewed the book in iBooks (latest version), on an iPad mini retina, on an iPad (4th ten); both as previews and using the exported .ibook format (all on iOS7). The problems persist.

  • How to remove the iBooks Author watermark?

    Is it possible to remove the iBooks Author watermark?

    If you're loaded with money, Adobe's Acrobat Pro might let you removed the watermark. If you're like most of us, you may find PDF Pen or PDF Pen Pro more reasonably priced. You can find out more here:
    http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/
    PDF Pen and PDF Pen Pro offer about 90% of the features of Adobe Acrobat Pro at about 10-20% of the price. And I find them much easier to use.
    I tried with my copy of PDF Pen Pro and I was able to erase the "iBooks Author" footer (if that is the watermark you mean) in about a minute by selecting it with the rectangle select tool and erasing. (Putting a white box over the watermark might also work.) But you'll have to do that manually on every page.

  • How do I download ibook author onto my iPad mini?

    I would like to share my books that I have purchased and stored on my iPad mini but have been unsuccessful uploading iBooks Author.  Any suggestions?

    iBooks Author is for creating iBooks, not sharing them, and Author runs only on a Mac. If you want your purchased iBooks on other devices you own, either re-download them on those other devices:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    or sync them from your iPad to iTunes on a computer, then sync them to your other devices.
    If you mean you want to share those books with other people, you can't unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account, and that would be a violation of the terms of the license.
    Regards.
