Jump within scrollable frame?

Hi DPS community,
I'm creating a company directory with 250 names and I would like a smooth scrolling experience (also open to other suggestions you may have!) and I would like to ask if its possible to create buttons that jump to a specific areas within the scrollable frame? Similar to the way iOS's Contacts work where the letters are static along the scrollable frame but tapping a letter will jump to the corresponding area? (image attached)
Thank you for any tips or suggestions.

That ability does not exist in DPS using InDesign scrolling frames. You
could do it as HTML and use a Web Content overlay to do it, though.

  • Hyperlinks within scrollable frames

    I'm trying to get hyperlinks within a scrollable text frame to work but it's not working properly in the content viewer. Is it possible to do them within scrollable content, and if so, is there a certain technique that works best? Thanks!

    Sorry -- I've created a scrollable content layer that works properly, just with text scrolling down. I've selected the text and created a hyperlink using the hyperlinks panel (that works for the text in non-scrollable frames). When I view the issue in the Content Viewer on the iPad, the hyperlinks outside the scrollable frames work fine and open, but those within the scrollable frames do not. Is there a specific way I should be creating the hyperlinks within the scrollable frames that I'm not doing correctly? Thanks.

  • Scrollable Frames lagging

    I am having trouble with images within scrollable frames. They are taking a while to load and appear white until fully loaded. The images are at the lowest res/size possible already.. Is there anything else I can do to help it load faster?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using Folio Builder 12.3.3, Indesign5.5. Mac.
    I laid out several pages using the same scrollable frames but out of those about 30%does not function properly. These are simple scrollable frame with a vertical action and I did everything by the book--dimensions and all. I also tried tagging the elements in the Layers panel but had no result. These 30% were working just fine before but as I upload it again and again due to adjustments, it got stuck. My last resort is to create the articles again from scratch but then I may never know what the problem was.

  • Anchoring an object within a scrollable frame

    Hi there,
    I am trying to create a page that scrolls horizontally through a series of images. I am able to do this but I am having trouble anchoring my company logo so that it does not move when I scroll through the images. I have seen on apps that this is possible... can someone give me some advice?
    Thanks!

    Turn your company logo into a two-state MSO that's set to Auto Play and Stop At Last Image. Put the logo MSO on top of your scrollable frame, and you'll be able to scroll the frame behind the logo. Let us know if that works, or if you're looking for a different effect.

  • Problem with V19 Scrollable Frame

    I have a magazine that worked find on V18 of producer tools, since I upgraded to V19 I am having ptoblems.
    I have a standard page size 2048x1536 (iPad 3), and I have the whole page set as a scrollable frame with a background placed behind it. Then all my content for the page is pasted into the scrollable frame which runs much lower than the 2048 page length. You can then scroll the page within the scrollable frame rather than having a long page to scroll down. This also creates a nice layering effect where the content moves on top of a static background.
    This worked fine for me on V18 producer tools, but now when I load my magazine onto my iPad, I'm scrolling through articles and when I hit the page with the scrollable frame you can no longer scroll left or right and you're stuck on the page...
    Any idea how I can fix this as I have a client that has seen and likes the layering effect? Last thing I want to do is have to remove it and just make a long page.

    Which totally sucks, BTW.
    If you use JPG or PNG then it works but you lose the razor sharp text and pinch and zoom that PDF provides.
    I really don't get this one, either. Especially since the scrollable frames option gives you the ability to make it vertical only. That should eliminate any "confusion" as to which way to you want to scroll and which way you want to swipe.

  • Scrollable Frame issue on iPad 'Adobe Viewer'

    I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue when previewing a folio with the iPad viewer.
    The issue is when I have a full (or even part) page scrollable frame on a page and once I have vertically swiped/scrolled to the end of the scrollable frame, then the next vertical swipe seems to stick much more than usual and requires a much longer/sustained swipe to get it to move on to the next page.
    This issue is only occuring when previewing a folio on the iPad viewer. It behaves as expected (short normal swipes) when previewed on the Desktop 'Content Viewer'. It also behaves as expected when simply previewing from the Folio Overlays panel – both on the Desktop viewer and iPad viewer. It also behaves if I import the article as PNG format into a folio, however I am requiring vector quality/display for this project so can't ignore the issue.
    It also does not fix the issue to select 'raster' rather than 'vector' in export options within the 'scrollable frame' folio overlay panel.
    My first thought was that maybe this is just a quirk of the iPad viewer, but the fact that the behaviour works in most other scenarios has me guessing. Maybe i am missing something somewhere which may explain this. I see the use of Scrollable Frames in this manner within many apps (in vector/PDF) without experiencing this issue, hence why I am leaning towards it being a quirk of the viewer when as a folio with a PDF scrollable frame.
    I am using the latest viewers (Desktop and iPad app). The folio's tested trying to resolve this issue have been in both v26 and v27. Using InDesign CS6 on Mac. Same issue happens whether iPad is horizontal or vertical.
    Please let me know if you need any further details on my setup or what i have been testing if that will help.
    Thanks
    Ross

    i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
    also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
    if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload

  • Problems with scrollable frames

    I have an old DPS file that has videos inside a scrollable frame and they work fine. However, i am updating my files and in the new CS6/cc when i create the content, I group all the items, cut and paste into the smaller textframe and when i go to the Folio Overlays panel with the text frame highlighted, the option for scrollable frames is greyed out.  Video is highlighted but it will not allow me to create a scrollable frame.  Does anyone have a recommendation for what i am doing wrong. 

    You are correct, I missed your point.
    I got it this time though and it worked!
    Wow, nifty work around.  Thanks.
    Now that I have successfully embedded video within the scrollable frame, I am concerned about the 2 GB max from apple.
    I researched streaming video and successfully tested this, however it seems the frame for the video needs to be scaled to the preferred viewable size because there is not an option for “play full screen”.  As you can see in the screenshot below, I am trying to place the video under the play button using streaming content. 
    Do you know if this is possible?

  • Can't swipe to next article on scrollable frame?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what's happening here. I've got a page with a scrolling frame which covers the whole page, frame is set to scrolling, scroll direction is vertical only. I've just updated some of the scrollabe content and now when I view on iPad I can't swipe to the next article, the swipe to next article worked fine yesterday, all content and links work OK I just can't get off the page now... any suggestions?

    So Okay,
    Excuse the lame design (only 10 minutes of my lunch break left)
    So I quickly mocked up a 768x1024 doc (Horizontal)
    Made a Scrollable frame 732x952px to sit on the page bleed at the bottom and within left and right margins
    Created 4000px Deep worth of fake content (Grouped and pasted into the scrolling frame)
    Set to vertical scroll only
    Popped a stickly overlay on top and a background image underneath
    All in seperate layers.
    Imported as a PNG article
    and here are the results.
    All images are screen grabs and the last demonstrates that even with a scrolling frame this long - if you import as png you can still horizontally swipe off it
    All's good!

  • Scrollable Frames bugs

    Hi,
    I got some errors with drop 19 while creating my first magazine....
    1. Horizontal slider, placed on the left side. On the right side is an image with a contour and a textflow (nor sure whats the name for that n english...). If you scroll the text horizontally to the left, the textflow is as if the image is placed in the text. The issue is, that theres a bug with the overlay and placed mages on top of it, it thinks it is placed within the scrollable text
    2. You cannot leave a page without a button when the scrollable text area is too big. I think at the end of the srollable text the page should flip. Users might be confused if nothing happens. This must be fixed soon. As i have a single license and a tight time frame, i cannot fix it later (without paying for it again..). Drop 19 is nearly useless with.scrollable frames, i read a couple of ther reports naming that issue...
    Hope to get some jelpfull answers. In my opninion, the whole dps is in early beta. I started using it with drop 9, the handling is better now, but some fetures are still missing...
    Kind regards
    Simon

  • Hyperlinked button in scrollable frame not working

    Hi all,
    I'm working on a multi-article folio. The first article includes a scrollable frame that contains a group made up of one image and two buttons.
    One of those buttons works correctly; that is, it is a mailto that brings up an email client when clicked.
    The other button should open a web page in a separate window. However, when I click this button, I get the following error message:
    Cannot Open Page
    This page cannot be opened because of a error.
    The error is "A server with the specified hostname could not be found." (-1003).
    The odd thing is that another button in the second article that links to the exact same URL *does* work correctly. That article does not use scrollable frames; instead, the button is on top of an image sequence. I have very carefully copied and pasted the URL from the button that does work to the button that does not work. No joy.
    Here's a screenshot of the first article that shows the non-functioning button outlined in a blue frame:
    I am using InDesign CS6 (version 8.0) and Folio Builer
    12.2.4.20120611_m_691037 8.0.7.21 .
    Your help is much appreciated!

    It happened to me too and the only workaround was that I copied the hyperlink text and created a separated text box and pasted the link.
    I then made that textbox "fot frame to content". After that I created a button out of it and assigned the URL for it. After all this I pasted the button in the text as text object.
    Here is a screenshot. This text was within scrollable frame

  • Scrollable Frames canceled out by video on page

    I had wired up a scrollable frame (tab) at the bottom of my page. Tested and everything works fab. I added a layer above this scrollable area and dropped several video clips into the layout. Those clips are part of the main page content.
    As soon as I did this, the container and the scrollable content placed into that container doesn't render when the file is Published/tested. It fails on both Desktop and iPad Viewer.
    If I hide the layers contain the video clips the scrollable frame content returns and works just fine. Is this a known issue that video even being present on the same page kills scrollable content?
    New to using scrollable frames along side video content, and I haven't tried the myriad of hacks to get it to work. Want to start with the obvious questions... should this work?
    Thanks
    Steve

    I've made some progress, and have also made some odd discoveries.
    So, I was able to make the MSO work - but it doesn't work consistently. I went back to the original approach of putting the tab on the first state, and the videos on the next 3 states, This way the tab starts things off, and as soon as someone taps the invisible buttons to jump to any video, those videos play fullscreen.
    The trick is a tap to return to the first state where you are then able to drag the tab (scrollable frame) up. It might trip a few users, but is a trade off, where most people will just try to drag it again and will have success. Acceptable for this secondary content.
    This page is the last page in a 9 page stack. When I "Preview" the page on Desktop or direct to iPad. the page loads up by itself and everything works great!
    However, when I upload the whole article/stack to the DPS server, and download it. I of course have to swipe down from page 1. When I arrive on page 9, the videos work just fine, but the tab is gone on the first state. It doesn't render at all.
    Once you click to a video, you see the "dummy" tab appear on those other states. Clicking in that place holder area to return to the first state where the tab should be removes the "dummy" tab, and the actual tab doesn't render.
    As you can imagine - this is maddening!
    Thoughts I have... could something on the other pages be messing it up? Possibly, but every page in the rest of the article have static content, and 1 scrollable frames. No other videos OR multistates. And all the other scrollable frames work 100% of the time.
    Is there a limit to the number of scrollable areas and I've hit it? I'm going to start trashing pages one at a time to see if I strike a nerve. But I'm grasping at straws.
    If you think of something, all suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks!

  • Reset Scrollable Frame

    Is it possible to include a button within a Scrollable Frame that resets the frame back to it's initial setting? I'm wanting to include a "back to top" button at the end of text in a scrollable frame.
    For a big workaround, I duplicated the frame, made a 2-state MSO, and the "back to top" button was set to "Next State," and the MSO switch naturally reset the frame so the top of text was back. But this seems a bit messy...

    I think you pretty much nailed the workaround. Pretty clever.

  • Hiding a button underneath a scrollable frame

    HI there, I'm looking to have a button underneath a scrollable frame that is revealed and becomes functional when an image is swiped away from the top level.
    Is there a way to tap through scrollable frames or include transparent elements within the scrolling frame so that I can swipe away my image to find a button underneath?
    Cheers, Alex

    Can't be done. The area taken up by that frame is live all the time.
    You could try it with an MSO instead of a scroll. That would work.

  • Scrollable Frame issues

    scrollabe frames create dead space making it unable to flip to the next page
    PLEASE HELP

    I think I have had the same problem. I created two horizontal pull out tabs, the first one was the largest content frame, taking up a full half of a page vertically, and contained a vertically scrollable frame within. It was set behind the second frame which took up the full width of the page but only the lower quarter. I discovered two things: the upper, smaller content frame made the vertical scrollable frame within the other content frame have a smaller 'scrollable area' so you could only scroll where the other frame didn't exist (even though it is not visible). Also, the whole page navigation (moving from page to page, either up/down or sideways) was now limited to a small area in the top left corner where neither content frame existed. Needless to say the client was not happy and they have now become object states instead in order to maintain use of the whole page for navigation, as most people would use the lower right corner to swipe.
