InDesign DPS: Simple animation does not work in folio?

I'm building a simple recipe app using InDesign CS6, using the Digital Publishing tools.
On one page I applied an animation, "fly in from bottom" to an object.
When I eventually build the folio and view it on my ipad with the Adobe Content Viewer, the animation does not work on that page.
I've watched a couple tutorials on how to use the animation tools, how to set the path, etc. but none of them mention any other steps for getting the animation to work once you build the folio.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Okay, I'm gonna try helping out on this.... I don't think layers have any effect on this, or at least I haven't noticed they do, the just help keep you organized and maybe for arrangment...
So....
You can just lock the background, it isn't involved, it is just the background.
1. Make your button to open/start the sequence and make your finished state and an empty box. In this case the button the button is just a text frame. The finished state is a shape, text frame and two lines grouped (to make an "x" for the close button). In your case it will be your image sequence and the button to close it. Have all the elements of the finished state grouped.
2. Select both groups. In the object states panel, hit the new button. you should now have a multistate object with two states. One empty state and one state with your sequence, etc..
3. Now select your open button. In the button panel, choose the add action button "+" and choose Got to State (or go to next state) and make sure the object is the multistate object you just created. For the state, choose the state with your sequence.
4. Now select your multistate object. In the object states panel choose the state with your image sequence and close button. Select your close button. Go to the buttons panel and add an action to go back to the empty state.
Test it out, it should work fine now. I don't have an image sequence handy, but you may have to mess with the autoplay settings, etc. but it should work just fine.
Notes of interest: As buttons display only as raster on an iPad, I find it best to make a clear button on top of the button graphic. That way the button can be vector. and the clear box becomes raster.
I really, really reccomend watching some of the videos on Adobe TV, they explain and review a bunch of this. Also, there is an app called DPS Tips App by Bob Bringhurst for free on the Apple Store, he explains all the goodies quite well. You can also use Wallaby to convert indesign animation to flash and then HTML5, but that gets more complicated and it can also have a load delay. Good Luck!

Css3 animation does not work when triggerd by backing bean method

Hi,
I use Jdev 11.1.1.4 (but I guess the Jdev/ADF version does not matter in this case) and Firefox 15.0.1.
I tested some parts of article https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/css_animations_the_panel_flip from Duncan Mills.
The CSS3 animation for styleClass "rotateOut" works fine when I trigger it from mouse hover.
The problem is that the animation does not work when I set the styleclass in a backing bean.
In this case the UI component to rotate (in my case the calender component) changes immediatelly to the transition target without the transition-duration of 2 seconds and therefor there is no animation effect visible for the user.
Here the backing bean code:
    public void doRotate() {
       afCalender.setStyleClass("rotateOut");
       AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(getAfCalender());
    }Here the skin:
.rotateOut {
    -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
    -moz-transition-delay: 2s;
    -moz-transform: rotateY(45deg);
    -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition-duration: 2s;
.rotateReturn {
    -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform;
    -moz-transform: rotateY(0deg);
    -moz-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;
    -moz-transition-duration: 2s;
}In Duncan's article java script is used to change the style class.
Does the CSS3 animation only work when java script is used to change the style class or shoud java in a backing bean also work?
Any hints?
regards
Peter

I have tested several other settings but no success.
Any ideas?

Big mystery - simple animation now not work safari and chrome

A simple edge animation - basically a slide show with a start and stop button - which definitely worked some weeks ago with Chrome now does not work - nor with Safari.
http://peachesincrime.com/swf/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012.html
First thought is that both of those browsers have changed their scripting behavior and "so sorry Edge users"
But having noted that there is no fundamental difference between that and all the other animations on http://peachesincrime.com/underthehood.html I reduced the stage size from 1388 x 933 to 800x600 and it seems now to run. I have not yet ascertained what the top limit is.
Customer wants to maintain resolution or even increase it in the future to show images in full glory on retina screen resolutions.
Is this a problem with Edge and is there any way round this?
thanks

I have updated the animation with images which match the stage size precisely. Initial testing suggests that it works now with chrome but so far on one machine tested, safari seems to run the animation but at at 1/20 the speed of the other browers.
for anyone interested in trying to figure what is causing all this I have moved the original faulty files referred to above to another folder http://peachesincrime.com/swf/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012-2/HardlyStrictlyBluegrass2012.ht ml

Data Binding: Simple code does not work.

hi... the following simple code is used to display the ename field for a record selected in scott.emp on the console. the code is placed in an event handler. it is as follows:
DCBindingContainer bindings = ctx.getBindingContainer();
DCControlBinding binding = bindings.findCtrlBinding("ename");
String Name = (binding != null) ? binding.toString() : "";
System.out.println(Name);
is the code above correct????
if so, why it does not work???
thanks for every help in advance & best regards.

Hi,
please check the UIModel.xml file for the page if the binding name is "name". The code you have is the same code we published in our QBE workshop and it works there. The only difference is the name of the control binding. So please check if the binding name exists. (e.g. it could be ename1 instead of ename)

InDesign CS3 - Detect Edges does not work with transparency

I have three machines running at home. One is a PowerMac G5 running OS X Tiger and Adobe CS3 Master Collection. The other two are new Intel iMacs running OS X Leopard, also with the CS3 Master Collection.
My problem is this: On the PowerMac G5, I can create an image in Photoshop that has a transparent background with a cut out object. When I place this object on a page in InDesign, I can use the Detect Edges feature in the Text Wrap panel to automatically detect the edges of my object with its transparent background.
However, when I do this same procedure on the new iMac, InDesign fails to detect the edges of the object. This does not seem to be dependent on whether the image was created on the iMac or the PowerMac.
What I have discovered, is that the Detect Edges feature works on the iMac if the image has a solid white background, whether on the same layer as the object (i.e. 1 layer) or as a separate layer behind the object.
So, if anyone out there, or particularly one of the developers over at Adobe, could check on this issue and find out if my case is an anomaly or a real bug, that would be terrific.
Thanks!

F,
No need to need to get into a tif. I was merely pointing out that your response wasn't directed to the OPs request.
Jared isn't asking how things work, he's asking if they work the same for other users as they do for him with the little complication that they work for him in two different ways.
>So, if anyone out there, could check on this issue and find out if my case is an anomaly or a real bug, that would be terrific.
Jared,
I can't talk for Tiger. I have an iMac running 10.5 and detect edges does not work for me with transparency. But there is a difference in the text wrap options between a transparent background and a white one. When an image with a white background is selected, the Alpha channel is greyed out. With a transparent background the Alpha channel becomes available, and when selected another field is generated. [Alpha: Transparency]
Are those options not available on your G5?

Zooming out in example "Simple Graph" does not work.

In Measurement Studio, VC++, the feature "Zooming out" does not work. I only can zoom in a graph by drawing a rectangle with the left mouse button.

There isn't a built in "zoom out" functionality with the graph. There are several zoom modes of the graph, but if you want to zoom out, say with a right click or a key press, you would have to implement it yourself as it is not built-in.

Animation does not work in Google Chrome

I was using Chrome as my defualt for testing my Edge projects. At some point, I changed the way divs were stacked and animated the position of one of the divs and the animation never worked thereafter. That said, It works fine in Firefox and Safari. Anyone have any insights as to what could be the problem?
Is there anything I can provide that will give better clarity to this issue?
Here is a link to the project:
http://aaronjames.me/sandbox/menu-icon/menu-icon.html

Yes,
The animation is not working on google chrome on my device.
Could be because of publish setiings.
regards.

SVG animation does not work properly

I have written a simple SVG animation for my website, http://www.begeistert.org/, Firefox 4 - 8 start playing the animation but then stop. There is no error message and the SVG validates. All other SVG capable browsers don't have any problems. So, is the problem with my image or Firefox?

I have a problem with SVG gradient after today's FF update. Gradient does not fill the entire DIV, but just a beginning of it.
IE9 and Chrome works perfectly.

Timeline animation does not work

I have created a simple animation: image slideshow. Images suppose to change at some point in time but nothing is changing in any browser. I think I did everything right (step by step from the book), my images are in the apDiv. So I don't know where to look for a problem.
Thanks

Hi there,
It might help the community better if you post a link to a .zip file of your Edge Animate files. That way people can take a closer look to help you troubleshoot this issue. : )
Thanks!

.oam in indesign for ibooks author – does not work help

Hi I am creating an epub3 in indesign for ipad to read in ibooks. I am trying to integrate an .oam file but it doesn't work. It will show up in indesign as adobe promised but it is not shown in ibooks on ipad.
Can anyone help me? Thanks for help.

>told by my father that he had Acrobat Pro trial downloaded on the same PC
You are not allowed to install the trial a second time
Since a "secret code" is put on your hard disk to prevent a 2nd install, the only way to install the trial a 2nd time is to completely wipe your hard drive and install everything again... starting with Windows
Actually, I am not sure that a simple FORMAT command goes to the hard drive area used for the secret code... you MAY need to remove the partition and start as if this was a brand new drive that has never been used before

My flash animation does not work on all computers

this link
http://www.noordanus.co.nz
works on some computers but not others are seeing this:
Clients say they have uploaded the lastest flash player. Just a bit stuck here
Thanks in advance
Spiralvista

Since Flash Player sits on the client side, you may need to install the various Flash Player versions on your computer; older FP versions for all platforms are available at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
Maybe other Flash content developers have some better ideas how to test Flash objects on different FP versions; try asking in the Flash or Flex forums.

This animation will not work, neither does embeded youtube videos

So this site https://www.navo.navy.mil/cgi-bin/animate.pl/metoc/74/84/0-0-17/0 animation does
not work (in either FF or Safari on mac, works great on any browser on xp).
Anyone know why???
Also, if I try to look at a embeded youtube video it shows a black screen unless I scroll so that the
video is partially blocked (top or bottom).
Anyone?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Import package does not work - beginner help

Hi, I'm a beginner with java. I just trying to figure out how to use packages. I followed everything in the tutorial, but I can't figure out why my simple example does not work.
I made the following directories three, for the sake of the example.
in /home/username/Desktop I created a directory named it
inside it I created prove
inside prove I created test1 and test2
Inside test1 I created the following sample class:
package it.prove.test1;
public class HelloWorld
     private String message;
     public HelloWorld(String message)
          this.message = message;
     public String getMessage()
          return this.message;
}in the directory test2 I created this other one:
package it.prove.test2;
import it.prove.test1.HelloWorld;
public class HelloWorldProgram
     public static void main(String[] args)
          HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld("Guten Tag, Welt!");
          System.out.println(hw.getMessage());
}So now I have this three:
it
it/prove
it/prove/test1, it/prove/test2
As I said in test1 there is HelloWorld.java and in test2 HelloWorldProgram.java.
When I compile HelloWorld.java, it worked fine.
When I try to compile HelloWorldProgram.java, the compiler says that cannot find package it.prove.test1..
Why that? What did I make wrong?
Sorry both for my bad english (it is not my first language) and for the really trivial question (I'm a really beginner).
Tnx to whoever will help

Assuming you are running on Windows here.
Packages are directly tied to the classpath. Before java can find the it.prove.test1 package, it needs to be a part of the classpath. To make this possible, you need to add the root of the path, where the 'it' directory is in, to the classpath, like this:
javac -cp .;/home/username/Desktop file.java
the -cp switch tells java which classpath to use; it consists of two elements:
. = current directory
/home/username/Desktop = the directory containing the 'it' package root
When run like this, it should work. The same goes for running the code, you would run it like this:
java -cp .;/home/username/Desktop it.prove.test2.HelloWorldProgram
Hope that gives you the hints you need.
