Link to DPS article after animation has played?

Hi,
Is it possible to link to a DPS article using a trigger command (or after a delay, or anything similar) without the need for a second click once an animation has finished?
Currently I have a short animation that will play when pressed and I would like it to link to another article once it has reached the end of the timeline or a specific label. The animation itself works fine and the DPS link does work but will not go to the specified article unless there is another press by the user at the end.
I have tried linking to the article using both 'complete' in the default timeline and trigger actions, to no avail...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Found a work-around.
Made a JPEG of the magazine cover and imported to Edge and made it dissolve in after the title animation.
This gives the illusion that it goes to the cover page.
Was hoping for a generic topper that wouldn't need updating each month.

How do I stop the animation at a certain point after it has played part of it on a click?

I seem to be missing some key html knowledge on this! I have a drop down menu and when I click on the text on the navigation bar, I want an animation to occur (the menu to drop down) and then I want it to stop.
Here is the relevant code:
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_FishingTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Fishing", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_CookingTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Cooking", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_PhotographersTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Photographer", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_GolfTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Golf", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
      Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_RomanceTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
         // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
         window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Romance", "_self");
         // insert code for mouse click here
      //Edge binding end
Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_Packages}", "click", function(sym, e) {
         // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
         sym.play("drop2");
NOTE: If I put a sym.stop ("stop3); here after the play, it stops the animation before it even starts.

My assumption is you are laying down this animation in main timeline (stage). It starts in frame "label=drop2" and it continues until frame "stop3". Maybe this one helps:
- scroll to the last frame of the animation. "stop3" i assume.
- Create a "Trigger Action" (the code window)
- Call the sym.stop() to stop the animation at this frame.

How can I show an image before my animation starts playing

Hey there!
First of all, great work on making Adobe Edge...! I can see real potential in the use of this program!
I have started to work on an animation which will work as a splash-screen before the users see the actual site. (Yes I know... but the client wants it like this...)
The problem I have now is that the animation plays after a few seconds and that during these seconds it shows the content of the website. Besides that I still find it pretty difficult to actually position the animation the way I want.
I am using a plug-in for wordpress so I might not be in the right place to find help.
I tried fixing this with a pre-loader but this is also too slow. Is there any way I can force the animation to play sooner or to make sure they can't see the content before the animation has played?
You can find the concept of the website on: www.appyourservice.nl/concept/Jack.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Dominic

For sure,
It's also in my reply above. What I did is add an other div to my website which overlaying the complete content.
Then you add in the animation a line to hide this div before the animation starts playing like so:
So add this to the stage in "CompositionReady" --> jQuery("#div").hide();
This will make sure that the animations hides the div before playing so you will see first only the overlaying div and once the animation is ready to play, this div will hide and the animation will start.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Dominic

How can I combine multiple animations. (Play another animation after one has finished with a click?)

How can I combine multiple animations. (Play another animation after one has finished with a click?) Like a slideshow but with animations. any ideas?

You can do this by calling up the different edge Animate composition html pages using buttons and an iframe:
To get a general idea, put this in the body of an html page and insert your own URLs where indicated
<iframe id="iframeID" src="yourFirstURL" width="640" height="480">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
<button onclick='loadIframe("iframeID", "firstAnimURL")'>First Animation</button>
<button onclick='loadIframe("iframeID", "secondAnimURL")'>Second Animation</button>
<button onclick='loadIframe("iframeID", "thirdAnimURL")'>Third Animation</button>
<script>
function loadIframe(iframeID,url) {
//alert("Hello");
document.getElementById("iframeID").src = url;
</script>

Is it possible to link from a Google Map to a DPS article?

Hey everybody,
I'm using DPS to produce an iPad travel magazine about Berlin. One feature shoul be a Google Map with all the Points Of Interest from the articles. I want to set links from the articles to the POIs which is possible as far as I know. But is it also possible to link thge other way round, from a POI tooltip in the Google Map to an article produced in DPS? The map will be entirely online.
Thanks for your help!
Timo

You can use social sharing URLs to link from the map to your DPS application, provided it is a multi-issue publication and not a Single Edition application.
The advantage to this approach is your readers will be able to see your DPS content even if they aren't on a mobile device, as the web viewer will render the content in those situations.

After Firefox has been running a while, every link opens a new window

After Firefox has been running for a while, every link starts opening in a new window. Until today, if I closed Firefox and restarted it, it would stop happening ... until it started happening again. Then today, I closed it down and restarted it, and it was STILL happening. So either I find a solution, or I stop using Firefox on my Mac.
This is a vanilla installation - both for the Mac and Firefox. I don't use the Mac as my main computer. The Mac is running OS X 10.5 8. The problem has existed through many upgrades of Firefox. I always upgrade as requested. This last time, however may have been the killer. A new upgrade was installed right before the problem became unfixable by shutting down and restarting. I'm running Firefox 15.0. I just rebooted, however, and now (for now), it's working properly.
I have no add-ons installed in Firefox.
My only plug-ins are iPhotoPhotocast, QuickTime, SharePoint, and Shockwave Flash.
I've seen multiple reports of this problem on this Web site, but no solutions. Just a generic recommendation to disable add-ons to see which one is conflicting. But I'm running no add-ons. I think there's a bug in Firefox.

If it were an extension or theme or a Mac driver, wouldn't it cause the problem consistently? This only happens after Firefox has been running for a while. I'm using Firefox to type this reply right now, and the problem is not happening.
And it's not because I suddenly start using some offending software. As I said, I don't use the Mac as my main computer. Usually I'll have been using my PC, I'll go back to the Mac to check my email on Firefox, and suddenly the link problem is happening. I only use the Mac to check email on the server before I download it with Outlook (on the PC) so I can delete spam on the server first.

How to reset bookmark after audiobook has finished playing?

I get audiobooks through audible.com. When playback is stopped a bookmark is saved. When playback is resumed it is possible to advance or rewind from this point. However, when an audiobook has played through to the end (sometimes accidentally) the book mark is at the very end so that the file does not actually begin to play at all! This makes it impossible to rewind it. The only way I have found to do this is when the iPod is conncected to iTunes where there is a slider associated with the file which can be adjusted. How can a bookmark at the very end of an audiobook file be reset when the iPod is not connected to anything?
Dell Windows XP 30 GB Video iPod

It's possible to do in Captivate 3 by using some JavaScript code. Some have also reported that it works with Captivate 4 but I have not yet tested it myself.
You can try it out and see if it works out for you. Here is the link with the explanation and code: http://www.cpguru.com/2008/11/25/reset-bookmark-in-captivate-3/

Ipod keeps playing after it has been paused, turned off and locked

I have this problem with my 30 gb ipod: I play a song and pause the ipod, i turn it off and then lock it. go to sleep. The next day i looked at the ipod and it is playing songs. This depletes the battery because it has been playing all night. It happens also after I finish playing a song completely (it is not paused). I turn it off and lock it. The next day it shows playing songs.
Please help. is there a setting I have to change? Is this a bug? What should I do?
Rgds,
Albert

You probably have an alarm set which turns on the ipod and starts it playing.
Go to main menu of iPod, EXTRAS -> Clock -> go into any of the clocks shown -> Alarm Clock and then see if it is ON.

Please help... On click event play animation, only once animation has ended, launch lightbox

Hey all,
I could really use some advise, I have been searching for a good few hours and have come up with nothing.
I was hoping to play a small animation and launch the edge commons spotlight as soon as the animation ends.
My code:
// insert code for mouse click here
sym.getSymbol("no17").play();
      // Open spotlight overlay
// Set up configuration
var config = {
    width: 1400,
    height: 900,
    type: "animate",
    source: "http://new.oliverrice.co.uk/folio.html"
// Open the overlay
EC.Spotlight.open( config );
The code launches the spotlight as the animation begins. I would like the 2 second animation to play out first before launching the spotlight.
Im sure the answer is really simple, though im new to JavaScript and am struggling to work out how to achieve this.
Are there any clever people that maybe able to help me?

Hi, thanks for the reply, I had a think about it today and placed the spotlight code:
// Open spotlight overlay
// Set up configuration
var config = {
    width: 1400,
    height: 900,
    type: "animate",
    source: "http://new.oliverrice.co.uk/folio.html"
// Open the overlay
EC.Spotlight.open( config );
In a trigger at the end of my animation which has done the trick!
so:
1- I click on animation
2- it plays
3- then launches spotlight lightbox

(MCTE) .onRollOut after .onRollOver animation has finished

Hey, so I'm trying to build a website full of these flipping
movieclips that flip when you mouse-over them, and flip back when
you mouse out. Problem is, if you mouse out before the flip
animation has finished, the flipped side stays up, and you have to
return the cursor over the mc and mouse-out again. I am using
Jumpeye Components' MCTE V3 as well as the Flip pattern for this,
in AS2, but I think this is an AS thing not a MCTE problem. I've
attached the flipping code for one of the movie clips.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Multiple movies in one DPS article

Hello,
I have two short videos on two separate pages of a dps article (pages 1 and 5).They are set to play automatically on page load and stop on their last frames. When I return to the first video page, it has reverted to it's poster image. The second video page remains on the final image of the video, which is what I want it to do. This is true whichever of the two videos is played first; this is the one that reverts to the static poster image, the one played second remains on the final frame.
Grateful for any ideas/ suggestions.
Thanks,
Tim

Nope, looks like still only one movie per session. That's a big disappointment, especially after having to go back to Logic after being able to do it in other apps.

How do I prevent animation from playing until visible on screen?

I have multiple pieces on animation elements on my site. I'd like the animations to play when the user has scrolled to that postion on the page and not beforehand. Right now, page loads, user is at the top of the page and all animations load and start playing. By the time I scroll down, the animations have ended.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, interactive-designer-
Check out this stackoverflow article, which will help you figure out where you are in the page.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3898130/how-to-check-if-a-user-has-scrolled-to-the-bott om
From here, you can set the autoplay to false and then start the animation using AdobeEdge.* APIs when it's appropriate.
Hope that helps,

ITunes starts fast forwarding tracks after 1hours continuous play?

Hi I have recently updated windows XP on my computer to service pack three. After this update when I am listening to iTunes it suddenly started playing the songs in my library too quickly as if it was stuck on fast forward.
If you stop itunes playing then press play or select a different track it continues to play too fast. The only way to fix the problem is to close itunes and re-open it.
I have now found that this problem starts after iTunes has been playing music for just over an hour, so currently I'm having to close and re-open itunes ever hour to keep listening to music.
Any Idea why this might be happening?
I'm running XP SP3, 3GB ram, 3GHz processor, 200GB HD no where near full. Its iTunes version 8.2.1.6.
Thanks
Liam

Anyone else have this problem? I have now timed the problem to exactly 1hour 9minutes of continuous play, so if you play for 30 mins, pause for 15 then play iTunes starts fastforwarding 39 minutes later.
