Lightbox composition auto play upon page load

Hi,
Is there any way to have a lightbox composition auto play without having to click the trigger first? i.e. I'm toying with the idea of having a small welcome video play on my site via the lightbox function, but without someone having to click the trigger to get there.
Hope that makes sense. Is it possible to do?
Thanks,
-Kristine

Web View / Play on Page load...

I have experienced an issue with the play on page load option within DPS. When embedding multiple html5 animations within one file the play on page load makes all animations start at the same time. By the time the reader has read the copy and lets say comes to page two or three the animation on that page has already played. If I now don't want to loop the animation it means all the fun is over when I come to the page.
Anyone experienced similar problems?
Solutions?
Thank you,
Alex

Yes, I've noticed the same issue. With some Web Content overlays, the play on page load option actually means "play on article load." This happens with the Overlays > Web Content article in the DPS Tips app. There is a local HTML animation on page 3 of that article that launches when you first turn to the article. I'll ask around and let you know what I find out.

Page loads, sound plays; prefer page loads, sound not play

Insert>Media>Plug in
I select a sound file, OK.
When I publish the page, it even puts a play/stop controller.
BUT the sound plays when the page loads, instead of waiting
for some one to hit "play". I want no sound until some one
hits "play". (I dont want a new page to open, just play
in the web page Also, the page wants to use quick time player.
Is that necessary? Is there a better way?
Anyone, thanks !

ok this seems to work.
Is this conventional and acceptable html5 coding?

DPS and Edge - animation plays before page loads

Hi-
I have had a continuing challenge with animations created in Edge and placed into an Adobe DPS document. Short animations that are intended to play when the viewer gets to the page (onload) are already finished playing when the page is viewed. Other CSS3 and jquery based animations load as expected only when the page is navigated to and "in view".
I was excited for the latest Edge release and CS6 hoping that this issue had been resolved, but it is still happening for me.
Has this been resolved? Using an event handler or not checking "Autoplay" and requiring user interaction to initiate the animation are not the effect I want.
Did you find a resolution to this?
I also posted this question to the Edge forum...
Thank you!!
Shawn

I don't recall mentioning onLoad, but since you mention it...
Edge triggers auto-play animations off the onLoad event right now. In DPS publications the correct event to trigger on is onAppear. We're working with the Edge team to make sure that when you publish for DPS the auto-play animations look for the right event.

Flash play on page load problem

helphelphelp please. i'm totally new to dreamweaver, so if
this is completely pedestrian question i apologize.
i've inserted a .swf animation file in a dreamweaver file
(insert–media–flash) that i want to play when a viewer
initially opens the site window on the finished site. i've assigned
the "onLoad" event in the "control shockwave or flash" behavior in
the bahavior panel. the file plays in the dw file - but nothing
shows up when i preview the file in a browser. just a white screen.
when i control click on the page in the brower it says the movie
didn't load.
where did i go wrong? again, i'm new to this stuff, but as
far as i can tell, i've gone thorugh all the steps my book says i
should. what am i missing?
thanks in advance-

Let me make sure I understand.
1. You have a swf file, and when you browse directly to that
file, it plays
in the browser.
2. When you insert it on a page in DW (which version?), you
get a gray box
with an "F" in the middle?
3. When you select that box, and press "Play" on the Property
inspector,
you get only a white box and no other activity?

Epub, video won't auto play on ipad

Hi everyone
I've exported a fixed layout epub from Indesign CC which contains a number of videos set to auto play
Running the epub in ibooks on my desktop has the intended result, the videos auto play on page load as expected.
However, when I play the epub in ibooks on an iPad the videos will not auto play and instead load the first frame and a play button.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Cheers
Chris

Delay in playing embedded video on page load – DPS

Hi
I've created some DPS pages with embedded video content that plays on page load but there is a slight delay causing the page below to be exposed which in turn creates a jump between the underlying page and the loading video.
The video should load, play then disappear revealing the native InDesign page which also is a crisp version of the last frame of the video that has ended.
I don't use a poster image because it renders at a low resolution and is not as crisp as the vector based text below in the native InDesign page.
The page below is what is shown once the video has finished and closed down.
This delay causes a glitch which ruins the fluidity of an otherwise nice looking page.
I'm trying to re-create something along the same lines as the "Martha Stewart Living magazine" video front cover which is seamless and very slick.
Do you know how I can achieve this without the slow loading vid and help make the effect smoother.
Thank you in advance, I look forward to your reply.

From your description it sounds like you are trying to trigger auto-play using Media panel. For DPS you need to set the behaviour in the Folio Overlays panel. Click on the video, open the Folio Overlay panel, and check the Auto-play setting. If you are doing this as a cover you probably also want to enable "do not allow pause".

Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok

One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page. I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...). Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing. On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded. Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Sue

Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates? Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates? If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.

With iDVD, how can I create a DVD that auto plays on insert and then loops?

I want to burn a presentation using idvd which will be played at an exhibition. how do I create a dvd without menu that auto plays upon insert and then loops?
Thanks
Message was edited by: Host <to clarify Subject>

To create a OneStep DVD:
Connect your DV camcorder to your computer and set the camera to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. Turn on your camcorder if it doesn't turn on automatically.
Open iDVD and click the OneStep DVD button. (If iDVD opens to a recent project, choose File > OneStep DVD.)
Insert a recordable DVD disc.
iDVD rewinds the tape in the video camera and captures the video.
------------or-------------
To burn a OneStep DVD from a folder:
Choose File > "OneStep DVD from Movie."
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into the optical drive.
This kind of disc is sometimes called "kiosk mode" and is a good way to create demos or other presentations that play automatically and require no user interaction.

Audio stops playing on page turn

hello,
Hope any of you can help me. I added a audio file to a page, in a chapter. I want to the audio to start playing when the page is opened, I selected the "play on page load" option, BUT I also want to the audio to continue playing whilst I flip through the other pages in the chapter. For some mysterouis reason, the audio stops when I flip to the next page. The option "stop on page turn" is not selected.
Does anyone have a workaround to get this fixed? I need it really badly.
Thank you for your help!
Marl

Thank you for your response Bob!
I just found out, by accident!, that when you keep smooth scrolling on it works! -- The audio keeps playing just fine when browsing throuhg the next pages. Now the only thing I have to find out is how I can keep the smooth scrolling option in horizontal ONLY.

Named Criteria for Table Not Filtering on Page Load

Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm tying to create a filtered table using named view criteria (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24382_01/web.1112/e16182/web_search_bc.htm#BABBCHIH).
I create the Named Criteria; I drag from the Named Criteria from the Data Control onto the page; I select ADF Read-Only Filtered Table option. I run the page and much to my chagrin, the table is not filtered. A table with all results, plus a filter box with a value "S" (my named criteria filter value), is displayed.
Shouldn't the results already be filtered upon page load?
The filter works correctly when I run tests in my AppModule.
Using JDev 11.1.2.1.0.
Will

I've found a workaround.
I drag and drop the VO (unfiltered) from the Data Control and select read-only table. In my pageDef, I select the table's binding and check the "Enable Filtering" box. I then select the attribute to filter on and the applicable filter text.
The table then displays filtered results on page load.
However, I only see this working for very simple filtering (i.e. one column with simple filter requirements). It should be nice to know why dragging and dropping Named View Criteria onto the page does not automatically filter table results on page load.

How do I turn off the auto-play on the web browser? I'm tired of my computer slowing down because your browser is trying to load some kind of advertisment. I do

My screens are consistently slow loading because the auto-play is always trying to load some advertisment. If I wish to look at the ad, I'll click on it and open it.

It's a video? Most video ads probably use the Flash plugin. You could stop sites from using Flash automatically and require them to get your approval. And obviously there's no rush giving approval if it's just for an ad...
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash plugin, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

Problems with sound when I embed multiple videos on auto play into a composition widget.

I am having problems with the sound when I embed multiple videos on autoplay into a composition widget in Muse. It sounds as if they are all playing at once. Note that within the compostion widget, options - the auto play is disabeled.
I've a television set that has buttons below and I want the users to flick through the channels.
I need the oriantaion to be stacked as they're contained within a frame (the tv). I have tried the lightbox view (which at first seamed to solve the problem), but unfortunately the position, orientation moves when shown on different divises. It Had to be quite precise as I was ovelaying the original frame within the light box.
Could you please help me with this?
Also, I wanted to let you know that I think this software is amazing. Great job!

Hi Alban,
I see what you are seeing. Could you send your file so I can investigate more? Send it to [email protected], with a link to this thread in the message body. If the file is >20mb, our email system cannot handle it so use a service like Adobe SendNow.

Issue with auto-play slideshow on the cover/first page

I'm finding a strange problem in a project that's about to ship.
Our "cover" is a full-screen slideshow (really some type animation) that is a simple slideshow through states. It look great in the Content Viewer.
When we build the app in Viewer Builder, the slideshow does not play. Just sits on the first image.
I know there's an issue about HTML "auto playing" on the first page (that is, you can't). But didn't think that applied to dps slideshows.
Has anyone seen this issue? Any solutions?
Thanks

Here's the panel.
Interestingly, if we build an app with only the cover (this page), it works. Building it with all articles makes it not work.
The 'play in reverse' was an attempt to fix this. Did not help or hinder.
Thanks

I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
Several proplems so far:
1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example). How does one work the slide bar to do this?

Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button. I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear. Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play, Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted — and work properly.
One other thing. I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.” Does that have a bearing on anything?
