Interactivity smooth scrolling pages

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.
Is it possible to add interactivity (such as pan/zoom or slideshow) to a smooth scrolling page?
I tried to upload an article with interactive items to my folio but all i get is an error.
Thanks in advance for your help!

"Interactivity on smooth scrolling pages is no different than on any other pages."
Just to correct you there Bob, some interactivity is VERY different
You shouldn't be getting errors when uploading pages unless you've specified something wrong, but certain types of interactivity are tempremental when viewing.
Large MSO's - longer than page bleed don't work very well, they don't appear properly in certain views on the nav that sort of stuff, but the upload error shouldn't be to do with the interactivity
could you tell us the error message?
Cheers!

Smooth Scrolling Pages - Memory Error (while uploading)

Landscape Magazine Article:
iPad version is 2048x6144 (4 pages tall, but smooth scrolling). This one uploads without problem.
iPhone 5 version is 1136x4000. Same layout as iPad, only font sizes are bumped up for readability. Content Generation Error: Out Of Memory
Happens every time. Isolated now to the smooth scrolling pages that get converted from ipad to iphone. The uploader fails on page 1 of the content generation stage. It's like there's a cache limit while it's building the folio article. What's strange is that this issue doesn't appear on a full-sized ipad version of the same layout. Workaround has been to split the layout into separate pages, which is a comprimise more than a workaround. Anybody experience this? Is there a way get these pages to upload?

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you can do as the followings:
1. You can create a new page library to test if it works.
2. I suggest you can check the ULS log for detailed error message, it will be easier to figure out the issue. By default, the ULS log of SharePoint 2013 is located at the path:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
You can use ULS Viewer to see the detailed error message.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Batch DPS Article Import Breaks Smooth Scrolling Pages

When will the batch "import" support the ability to import ENTIRE folio's that contain both "snap-to" and "smooth-scrolling" pages?
Currently one must add stacks indiviually if they wish to have smooth scrolling stacks incorporated into thier folio.

Your absolutely right about that! And that's a great thought. Don't know why i didn't think of it.
On the sidecar.xml note however:
Besides the third-party web site that generates the sidecar file for folks, is there anything in the works to allow users to simply export the metadata directly from the Producer:Editor in the DPS Dashboard? Many users are not aware of the third-party website and with the renditions and iPad3 coming into full swing I believe it would help to ensure that any metadata that was entered manually gets matched to the rendition folio.
For users that are intimidated by xml and are too lazy to find the xml generator web-site. The ability to get at that metadata would be a nice feature to have for editorial and the like.

Smooth-scrolling page shrinks to fit on screen

Hi,
I'mtrying to produce a horizontally smooth-scrolling page and am facing a very odd issue. The page's dimensions are 2200*768, but the content viewer just shrinks it to fit in the screen, instead of having it fill its height and scroll sideways. (See the attached screenshot)
I am aware of the size limitation of PDF stacks on previous versions, but this happens with both PDF and PNG stacks, as well as on a v23 folio.
Also, once this problem is solved, is there a way to have the page present the horizontal center or right rather then left when it loads? I'm working on a Hebrew publication, meaning it is RTL, so having the page start from the left and scroll rightwards would not make sense
Thanks

You can’t do that. Smooth scrolling only works vertically.

Smooth scrolling page - slideshows not working. Please help!

Hi, I've created a smooth scrolling page with 3 slideshows positioned as you moove down the page. They appear to be working when previewed but not once uploaded. Does anyone know why?
Thanks

Hi Bob, hi Ross,
I've monitored the same problem. When a slide/MSO in a smooth scrolling article goes over the fold, it'll not play automaticly neither manual by tap.
It has nothing to do with selected running single or multiple times. Seems like the same problem with MSO's go in document bleed.
Seen on DPS v28 on iOS, but also on earlier versions.
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hyperlinks/anchors in smooth scrolling pages

Is it possible to create hyperlinks or anchors within a smooth scrolling document so the user can jump from one point to another within the page?
Thanks!

Not within the page, no. You would need to use HTML for that.

Scripting the lenght of a page (for smooth scrolling in DPS)

Hi, folks
I am quite a layman in this scripting world but I have a question that I would really need answered. It's not so much a question of 'how' but one of 'is this possible with scripting'?
We want to set up a system where the pages would be automatically created with XML input from a short set of templates so that they end as indesign documents in a given folder.
We have a very clear idea now on how to do that. But now, I have to take a design decission: Should I try using "one-page articles" with pages of variable lengt depending on the size of the body text frame? (so that they make afterwards smooth scrolling in Adobe DPS)?
What refrains me from doing that is that body text will be variable in size and lenght. So... I cannot predetermine which length must have the main frame in the pages and, consequently, I cannot predetermine the lenght of the pages (expressed as top margin + body frame length + bottom margin).
The question for scripting: Is it possible that you may run a script that does this?
- Text is input into the main body text frame via XML import.
- Frame is resized so that it fits with content (no more, no less).
- Page is then resized so that (expressed as top margin + body frame length + bottom margin) it keeps designed proportions.
I hope what I want is clear enough, because that is the doubt that is stopping me from trying the one long page winding way. Any idea, please?
Thanks a lot

Hi Gustavo,
yes you can accomplish what you are describing with InDesign scripting.
Instead of creating a smooth scrolling page you could even create a frame with scrollable
content on the template an fill the scrollable content with text.
That way you will not have empty spots on the page.
That sounds like an exiting project which combines InDesign, DPS and scripting skills.

New Smooth Scrolling issue

I have been able to create and upload several oversized pages with no problem...until today. Today, I have been trying to add
two new articles and the Folio Builder will only load one orientation, not both. I'll start with my _v file, which will upload correctly. Then I'll try to add the _h layout and it just overwrites/updates the _v layout. They were created the same way as the ones that I already have loaded, 768w x 2000h & 1024w x 2000h. They are single page files and each orientation loads correctly. This is becoming a deadline crucial concern. Has anything been updated recently that could have caused this? Am I missing something?
In a slightly related note, the Content Viewer doesn't seem to want to view oversized, smooth scrolling pages in their entirety.

This is a known issue. Use the Import option to import the article. Let me know if you need more details.

Smooth scrolling on a horizontal page - how did Benjamin Moore do it?

Hi,
I'm trying to work out how Benjamin Moore did this (in their COLOURSTORIES Canadian Version). We're looking to do something similar (Different content on the horizontal and vertical formats), but can't work out how Benjamin Moore managed to get a scrolling horizontal page.
The screen shot is below:
We're looking, if possible, to have the horizontal and vertical versions of each article smooth scrolling.
Is this possible?
Also, is there a static URL for the features & bug fixes for the most recent release? I'm finding that even searching the forum thows up "This is fixed in the new release" without any reference to what the release is (v21, v22 etc). T'would be a help!
Cheers,
Simon.

Thanks Bob - my problem was not realising the "Scrolling direction" relates to the orientation of the orientation of the articles, and not as the name suggests the scrolling direction. Another fact stored in the noggin for future use

Smooth Scrolling made clear and easy

A new folio appeared in Bob Bringhurst's jewel app "DPS Tips", discussing all kinds of special content and interaction. In the Smooth Scrolling section it states that you cannot create Smooth Scrolling articles simply by "Adding" an article. This should be achieved by "Importing" Articles. And it specifically states that you can't create horizontally scrolling articles. This baffles me ! I know it can be a bit tricky, but when explained and understood carefully, there's no problem in using the "Add" button or even to create a horizontally scrolling article on the fly.
The tricky part is, how the InDesign file (an article's half) is 'born'. To be able to use the "Add" button to create a properly scrolling article, you must check that the Document Setup upon making a new file (or even later on) is set to the proper single-page size (in a 3:4 dimension) and with the desired orientation (landscape or portrait), before you hit the "Add" button. Because this is where the Folio Builder gets its information from about the dimension and orientation. Afterwards, you set the page's length with the Page Selection tool – but take care: ONLY the length ! DO NOT use the width or orientation properties with this tool, nor use the Height setting in the Document Setup, although these seem very obvious for this task. You can even correct a page afterwards, and get the "adding" right (and lengthen it properly) if it has been malformed and unaccepted by the Folio Builder before.
So, to conclude: start a scrolling page with a single page, normal size (1024x768), landscape or portrait, add it to the Folio, and then lengthen the page with the Page tool's Height setting. Don't forget to set the Smooth Scrolling option accordingly among the Article's properties in the Folio Builder panel. No big deal !

That's indeed the culprit: when you have already set the elongated landscape page upon New Document. But it's still easy to correct that afterwards: switch it back to 768 in Document Settings (the cropped content becomes invisible but remains in place), aAdd the layout (it will become the landscape version), and stretch the page to the desired length with the Page tool's Height property.
Both methods can be difficult, depending on the way you prefer to work. Visual designers who already find it hard to keep track of a Package folder will shiver upon seeing the rigid hierarchy of a Folio folder; technical users won't mind preparing a folder stucture like that. Using ADPS requires many more unlogical steps than just this, like updating a design (not at folio or layout level, but only the whole Article) or discovering that one missing or extraneous orientation prevents the folio to be previewed.
So either way it is fishy...
But I'm glad that this aspect will be tackled by an update, soon !

Smooth Scrolling : folio size VS article size

Hi
I'd like to create a smooth scrolling article just like in DPS TIPS "Effects" by Bob Bringhurst.
I follow the steps from the article but it does not work.
What I want to to is to have a 1024*768 (horizontal only) folio that includes articles that may be longer than 768 height (let's say 1024*2000).
If I create a 1024*768 FOLIO and import articles that are 1024*2000
i cannot upload because it says :
Error generating content.
[Error: The proportions of the page size must match the folio.]
If I create a 1024*2000 (example) FOLIO and then import articles that are exactly 1024*2000
- it works (well I can upload) but i can only import articles that have the exact dimensions of the folio, the DPS TIPS says "you can mix and match Smooth Scrolling and non sooth scrolling articles in a folio".
And then the problem is I never ever see the folio on my Content Viewer on the iPad then.
I can only see it it the Folio Producer.
There's a point that says "You cannot create horizontal smooth scrolling article, the workaround is to create scrollable frames, which can now include interactive overlays"
What bugs me is that in the example we can see an Horizontal Smooth Scrolling (1024*2000 just like in my examples and tests)
If the only workaround is to cretae scrollables frames, I'll do so but maybe I just missed something ?

yes it has/had.
i closed eveything, did everything again and now it works, maybe it was just a bug or i missed something, everything's fine for now thanx !

How can I make the Smooth Scrolling option in the Advanced menu apply ONLY to the tab bar?

So, I'm one of those people who usually have 60+ tabs open at any given time. I'm also on a Lenovo laptop with a trackpoint (that may be relevant later).
Right now, I have smooth scrolling disabled.
In previous versions of Firefox, if I sat my cursor on the tab bar and scrolled either up or down, it would scroll across my tab bar at a constant, quick rate, usually taking about two or three seconds to reach the end. This wasn't an animated scroll (I've disabled that animated scroll via about:config in the current Firefox version).
However, now, it's doing something different. There's acceleration to the scroll. If I just tap the scroll in either direction, it scrolls only a few tabs. However, if I hold the scroll for a second, it instantaneously takes me to the far end of the tab bar, completely skipping at least thirty tabs in between.
I have tab scroll buttons added by Tab Mix Plus (smooth scrolling is also not enabled in that addon), and the same accelerating behavior occurs there. One or two taps of the button moves the bar a few tabs to the left or right, but several taps in quick succession takes me all the way to the far end of the bar.
I can restore the old scrolling behavior for the tab bar by turning on smooth scrolling in the Options > Advanced menu, but that turns on smooth scrolling for web pages at the same time. I don't like the web page smooth scrolling, and would rather not have it on.
Or if there's any other way to make it so that scrolling the tab bar moves the tab bar a fixed amount no matter what, that would be great.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

How to make smooth scroll in muse

I want the smooth scroll effect in my site just like this http://nexgeninnovators.com

You can try to use anchors on page and link them to fixed positions on page, that would create similar effect.
But if you are looking for setting up jump scrolling on page then at current stage we cannot setup this with scroll effects.
Thanks,

Horizontal Scrolling without Smooth Scrolling?

Hello,
I'm building an iPad presentation in InDesign using the DPS features. I'd like to make my presentation scroll through the pages horizontally, is this possible without activating smooth scrolling?

Right I see, thankyou. This is one of my first iPad presentations made using the DPS features. I've still got to get my head around some of the tips and tricks.

Smooth scrolling articles

Hello,
I was testing the smooth scrolling articles, but I realised it only works with a single-page.
Is there any option in order to create a file which has the same performance for multiple pages?
Thanks very much!
Alessandra.

I f what your asking is what I think it is...no. Smooth scrolling makes single page articles only.
