Linking scrollable frames

I have created a wall planner type scenario as shown above. The months and content below are in one scrollable frame that scrolls in both directions. The problem that I have is that when I scroll down, I lose the months. So I wanted to know if there is any way of linking 2 seperate scrollable frames? Really stuck this this one and am sure that its not possible, so thought I would ask the experts.
Many thanks
Steve

This is the order I created the file:
1. Created the background grid.
2. Created the buttons, placed them in position then grouped them with the background.
3. Created the pop up windows the are activated by the buttons.
4. Created the buttons that sit on the pop up windows, then grouped each button with the pop up.
5. Then selected all the groups and made a multi-state object.
6. I then programed each of the buttons to activate the relevant image states.
7. I then selected this multistate object and placed in into the frame which you said to make vertical scrolling only.
This works up to this point.
8. Then when I group then frame and paste into another scrolling frame with horizonal scrolling, the button stop working?

Anchored objects into scrollable frame?

Good evening,
is it possible to link a button to another page in a precise point in a scrollable frame?
Many thanks!

No. Page navigation is about as precise as you can get.

Scrollable frames. Buttons not working.

Hello.
I have a problem with buttons in the scrollable frames.
I have a slideshow with a thumb's. Each thumb consist of MSO (non active icon and active icon) and clear frame - button to that MSO and to slide foto. The thumb's grouped and placed into the frame with horizontal scroll overlay effect.
That frame placed into another frame-pull out tab, which have vertical scroll effect. And when I pressed the button, slide fotos changes correctly, but button MSO not working.
See files from dropbox -- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rsbf1jto3a39jug/IVcQxaYJOW
Sorry for my english. I need help very much.
Thanks.

Hi,
I understand that I can use two 'states' of the buttons. And I tried it. But. Buttons renditions are raster images. And on the retina display we had bad quality. My target was to create vector buttons. With good quality on both displays.
Any suggestions?

Hi (again),
It seems that you built your stuff in a very complicated way.
First, try to make simple!
You mixed MSO and buttons functions. Useless and unfonctional.
Yous should use only button panel, with two different 'states' ('Normal' and 'Clic').
See below (no MSO function used at all for the button):

Use the layer panel to easily select the objects you want to modify.

Hyperlinks in a scrollable frame moving on scroll

Context:
Application for iPad, created in inDesign with DPS.
Situation:
We have a table inserted into a vertically scrollable frame. On top, we have a series of links that correspond to the table text (please see screenshot below).
Problem:
When the table is scrolled all the way to the top, the links shift and no longer correspond the text.
Details:
The links and the table are grouped. They were cut and placed into a scrollable frame.
          The links work.
          The scrolling works.
          The links correspond properly to the text when the content is in the 'top left'.
          Scrolling partly up, the links are still okay.
          Scrolling all the way up, and the links scroll further than the table, causing them to be off.
Screenshot below:
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Bob. I think I found the problem -- the new guy hadn't removed the old scrollable frame from the text when he added the links, so the links were in a scrollable frame, and the text table was actually inside two scrollable frames.
Sorry to have wasted your time with something that turned out to be an error on our side.

EXPORTING SCROLLABLE FRAMES TO EPUB

HI ALL,
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO EXPORT SCROLLABLE FRAMES IN EPUB? I AM BUILDING AN EPUB BOOK FOR ANDROID AND I HAVE SOME SCROLLABLE FRAMES THAT WORK FINE WHEN I PREVIEW THEM, BUT THEN WHEN I EXPORT THEM THE FUNCTIONALITY IN TH EPUB FILE IS LOST. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?
THANKS
CR

thanks Carl.
I had found this same link on the forum, but not being a programmer myself I was hopping there would be a more straightforward solution!
I am having a book a wrote on ibooks author and published with Apple, now trying to also do in a format that would be compatible with non-Apple users, but I am finding that for simple users like me InDesign is a bit of a nightmare! Apple has a number of plug-and-play powerful widgets in ibooks author and trying to get the same functionality in inDesign and EPUB does not seem to be possible.
but thanks for your help and for replying.

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!

Failed to load the folio. Pan Only, Scrollable Frame Overlay

Hello All,
I get the error "Failed to load the folio." when previewing a page in the Content Viewer with a scrollable frame overlay using this technique described here:
Create scrollable frames using Pan Only:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f605e8ea44412b13edc5ec-80 00.html
I checked the KB but the solution to remedy the problem is vague. I am not using any offending characters and what's odd is that I can pan and zoom images without a problem. When I try to scroll the text I get the error.
The folio I am testing is a new document, there is no other content other than this text frame. I've compiled other folios without a hitch but this is the first instance I am using this technique. The workstation I am working on had the prerelease tools on it then upgraded to the most current version about a week ago.
I am guessing that maybe the prerelease tools were not properly removed and that could possibly be a problem? If so what files am I looking for or is there a link someone can provide?
Or maybe the current tools/Content Viewer need to be removed and installed again? Again, what files need to be removed?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
D.

Hey Peter,
Thanks for the link. I have tried both techniques, the layer and the paste into and both yeild the same result with the "Failed to load the folio." error. I also forgot to mention that I am using CS5.

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

Button in Scrollable Frame not working

Hey, I read lots of other questions concerning this topic but could'nt find a sollution
I am working with CS5.5 and the newest version of the Folio producer. I have a page witz a Video, some buttons and a scrollable Frame where are some pictures inside. These pictures ae grouped together and then anchored inside of the frame. Scrolling these images works fine, but when convert the pictures into Buttons and and link them to a random website nothing happens when I click them.
Is it only possible to test this on the iPad? At this moment I can only test in the Content Viewer Deskop Application. I have already tried everything...putting layers to the front or background, defining the pictures as Buttons before or after putting them into the scrollable frame...nothing is changing...
Now I am despairing a bit. Hope somebody can help me!

Yes yes, I know. But makes it a difference with this issue? Problem is: I have the iPad I use for testing only from while to while and I dont get it back before monday. Not a very good starting point to build a folio, I know...

Hyperlink button inside scrollable frame

Is it possible to put a button that scrolls with the content inside a scrollable frame ?
I've tried with the hyperlink overlay and several ways with the button overlay, also tried to define the button action after defining the scrolling content (Bob suggests this in a topic from some months ago) but nothing seems to work, it's if the button doesn't exist.
When putting the folio online to check it on the iPad I always got a 'upload failed network failure' message but when clicking the try again button the upload restarts and at the end I got the 'content uploaded' message. Don't know if that could cause the button troubles.

I've had no problem getting buttons in scrolling frames to work so without seeing your files, there's not much I can offer besides making sure the links are created properly.

Buttons inside of scrollable frames

I have a series of photographs that act as buttons that go to a page number. In one article, I've grouped together these buttons and put them inside of a scrollable frame. They work fine.
Now, in another article (both of these articles are part of the same FOLIO) these buttons just go to MSOs. The MSOs have pan and zoom enabled (a lot of interactivity going on). I've cut and paste these buttons inside of a frame and made it scroll, but the buttons are non functional. Why are buttons functional in one frame and non functional in another?

An update to the DPS tools that addresses the issues with iframe/HTML and buttons in release 25 is now available. Updated tools can be downloaded by following the link for the appropriate InDesign and OS version at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_dps_install_en.

How to link text frames in Pages 5.2?

How to link text frames in Pages 5.2?

The correct term in Pages is Text Boxes, and true linking is not implemented in v5.2. You can Unite, Intersect, Subtract, and Exclude multiple Text Boxes via the Arrange panel. These attributes only appear when two or more Text Boxes are selected. Also, on the Arrange menu, you will need Object Placement set to Move with Text, and the Text Wrap set to None for more accurate positioning.
In the following example, there was initially a Text Box with overflowing text that was duplicated. With both Text Boxes selected and aligned, I could then use the Unite feature from the Arrange panel. This allowed the text to flow into the second box. Selecting text in one box and dragging upwards continues the text selection between both boxes. Hoefler italic applied in one box is applied to both. Appropriately placed, another trip to the Arrange panel to enable Text Wrap around and text fit adjustments.

Selection text frame in linked text frame remove

Ok. Try now,
var doc = app.activeDocument;
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "~a";
var found = app.selection[0].findGrep();
for(var i =found.length-1;i>=0;i--)
        var ip = found[i].insertionPoints[0];
        if(found[i].allPageItems[0] instanceof TextFrame)
                var cont = found[i].allPageItems[0].texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER,ip);
                found[i].remove();

Scrollable frame is text: anchored object in text can not be button?

Following example: A textframe. With an anchored object (group). Paste textframe in other frame to make scrollable frame (pan only). Select anchored frame in already pasted into textframe, make button for anchored object (go to state).
Does not work, button does nothing (and yes a converted it to a button after the paste into other frame as last step).
Not possible?
DPS v18

If you want the button in the scrollable frame to control an MSO state, the button/scrollable frame needs to be part of the MSO. It is an InDesign limitation that buttons cannot control videos, audio clips, or MSOs unless they're on the same "level" in the document.
