Multiple animations in iBooks and DPS - interfering

I have embedded multiple edge animations into iBooks and DPS. Howeve I keep running into an issue where one or more animations will not start after i have started another then move on to a different page. When i reload the book or adobe viewer then the animation that would not start runs fine but then others won't run. Individually they all run fine but when embedded together they start stalling out.  I'm using edge 1.0 and CS6 indesign and lateset iBooks author.
Any ideas?
Pretty frustrating - I have a published iBook and I have to tell users to reload ibooks in order to get each animation to run. They are not complex animations.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, folks-
I just wanted to circle back and let you guys know that we addressed this issue in today's release of 1.0.1.  Give it a whirl and let us know how it works!

  • Animated TOC in edge and DPS

    I'd like to create a animated TOC in Edge and import in in indesign.
    How can I link indesign pages/bookmark/article in Adobe Edge?
    thanks
    rob

    Thanks, I know how to create animation in Edge and Import in Indesign. What I don't understand is how to use my animation as a menu / index / toc for idesign page.
    I guess it involve some scripting that indesign can understand, like an anchor/link (on Edge)  that goes to a page/article in Indesign.
    Is it possible?

  • Getting HTML animations to work on DPS publications on iPad

    Hi everyone,
    I have been using the Animation feature in InDesign 5.5 to create animations, saving it as Flash (FLA), using the Wallaby programme to convert it to HTML, changing the CSS so it doesn't loop (infinite --->1) and then using the Web View on DPS to hopefully get the Animation work on iPad publications.
    Opening the HTML in web browser, it worked fine. When it got to the iPad however, the Animation effects didn't work.
    Specifically, I was trying the Grow animation effect - but it didn't work on the iPad. What happened was that the place where the Web View was showed a loading icon, then around 2 seconds later, the words (which were supposed to Grow) just appeared (without the Grow effect).
    I also tried the "Fly in from left" effect, this time it worked - only once though. When I left the page and returned to it on the iPad, again, the above process happened (a loading icon, and then the words just appeared, and did not fly in from left)
    So, I wanted to asked,
    1. Are there any animation effects for InDesign 5.5, when converted to HTML, that are not supported by the iPad, causing it to not work completely ( such as probably the Grow effect)?
    2. Are there any ways to make the animation effects work for everytime I load the page? (I had already selected the Page Load for the Animation effect so I don't think it's the problem there)
    3. The Wallaby programme will make action scripts/ timing unworkable after conversion right? Does this mean that if I wanted to do multiple effects (say different words flying in from left or right in different times), Wallaby is not the solution?
    Still a newbie to HTML and DPS, so very sorry if the above questions don't make sense. Much appreciate for any help!

    There is a great Apple App called Hype, which creates timeline animation for html. It costs about £20 but is well worth it. It would seem to be far easier than the route you are taking. There is also Adobe Edge, which is free in adobe labs, it is only beta, but some people think its pretty good, not tried it myself yet.
    Hope that helps. if you can afford justify Hype, go get it!
    Cheers

  • Multiple Animations for a single MovieClip sprite

    Ok, after hours of exhausting searching, and having to learn how to animate a simple sprite for the 100th time, I hope I might found I more specific, and better explained answer to my problem.
    I'm trying to make a flash game, of course, and I want my main Player sprite to be able to play multiple animations based on specific input. So, a running right animation, a running left animation, a jump animation, and an attack animation.
    At the moment, the most I can seem to achieve is to create a single timeline, with a default frame in the exact middle. Then when player holds left, it plays the previous frame, or scrolls backwards through the timeline. When the Right key is held, it plays forward from the default middle.
    It's ugly and extremely limited. I've tried using the gotoAndStop() and gotoAndPlay() methods, but because the statement checking for the key being pressed is constantly being checked, it will stay on the frame chosen for those methods, rather than move forward along the time line.
    I would greatly appreciate a better method for this, or a more specific tutorial to achieve the goal i'm looking for.
    I've seen mention of the attachMovie() method, but I can not find an understandable explanation of how to properly use it in the way I desire.
    essentially, the sprite will have the default standing frame while no keys are pressed. Then, if the right key is down, it plays the running right animation. When the left key is down, it plays the running left animation. When the jump key is pressed, it plays the jump animation. And when the attack key is pressed, it plays the attack animation.
    I hope that's enough information and that it's understandable, if not, let me know what more you need to know and I'll do my best to explain it more.

    You can do this a number of ways but I will try to explain the what I think is the easiest.
    Step 1
    Draw a box on the stage
    Step 2
    convert this into a movieclip (F8), name this myCharacter (or anything you want really), then press ok. Now select this movieClip and in the properties dialogue box, type "box", again, without the quotes. Then press enter.
    Step 3
    Double click this new movieClip (this should take you into this movieClip timeline)
    Step 4
    Now press F6, 3 times. This wil give you 3 additional key frames on this timeline. You should now have 4 key frames.
    |Step 5
    Select key frame 1 on this timeline and press F8. Type into the diag box "standing", without the quotes. Then select the Movie Clip radio button, if it is not already selected.
    Step 6
    Step 12
    Make sure  your library is in view, if not Ctrl+L. You should see the movement clips you created, running_right, running_left, etc. Double Click any one of these and add the animation your want in these movs.
    There we go, simples.....Test you animation and see how you are doing.
    Select key frame 2 on this timeline and press F8. Type into the diag box "running_right", without the quotes. Then select the Movie Clip radio button, if it is not already selected.
    Step 7
    Select key frame 3 on this timeline and press F8. Type into the diag box "running_left", without the quotes. Then select the Movie Clip radio button, if it is not already selected.
    Step 8
    Select key frame 4 on this timeline and press F8. Type into the diag box "jumping", without the quotes. Then select the Movie Clip radio button, if it is not already selected.
    Great, once you have done this, these new movieClips should now have appeared in your library (press Ctrl+L if you cannot see your library)
    Ok then you have just created your movement MovieClip. You now need to get back to the main timeline. You can just keep on clicking the stage to get back to this location. Once there you need to select the box you have just created and name this "box" for the time being.
    Ok then a little bit of programming now.
    Step 9Create a new layer in the timeline and name it scripts.
    Step 10Then select this layer and press F9 on your keyboard. THis should bring up the scripting pane for this frame.
    Step 11Type in the following code
    box.stop();// when you run this animation, this command will stop your box from doing anything
    var keyBoardListener:Object = new Object();// Creates a new Object for the keyboard presses
    keyBoardListener.onKeyDown = function() {
    if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {// runnning LEFT action
      _root.box.gotoAndStop(3);// Frame where the running right animation is
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {// running RIGHT action
      _root.box.gotoAndStop(2);// Frame where the running right animation is
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {// JUMPING action
      _root.box.gotoAndStop(4);// Frame where the JUMPING animation is
    keyBoardListener.onKeyUp = function() {
    _root.box.gotoAndStop(1);// When the keys are released, this action takes your animation back to frame 1, where your character is just standing still.
    Key.addListener(keyBoardListener);// this assigns the listener to your key press detection Object.
    Step 12
    Edit the action movs within your library by double clicking each one and adding movement to each. Then test your animation.

  • Multiple Animations in a PDF

    I have followed a tutorial on animations in .pdfs made by
    Right Hemisphere and have got things working....
    ...however, the tutorial plays back ALL of the animations in the u3d at
    once. I have created a u3d file with Deep Creator which has mutiple
    animations. By multiple, I mean that one object has its own animation,
    and another object has its own animation. The code provided in the
    tutorial plays both of these animations at the same time. I want
    to tie a button to play only one of the animations, and another button
    to play the other animation.
    Is this even possible???

  • Multiple authors in ibooks author

    The book I am writing has one primary author and three other major contributors.  The book is at the stage where a good draft has been written by the primary author.  I want to make this draft available to the other major contributors for them to read and provide their edits.  Since the book is highly interactive and the interactivity is what is the books appeal, what is the best way to get the contributors involved.  I could send them a .iba file through dropbox.  Or I could send a .pdf which loses all the interactivity. 
    Does anyone have advice on how to get edits from multiple contributors?

    You can send them the.iba file, or export as .ibooks and send that for them to use on iPad.
    But if the idea is edtis on the live (.iba) document, be aware it can be tough to do merged edits at times, so plan ahead.

  • How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

  • IPad mini iOS 8.1.1 - iBooks and App Store not opening

    Hello everybody,
    since the last update (iOS8.1.1) my iPad mini is unable to load iBook and the App Store. Basically, when I try opening them, they remain in the white, initial screen, like if they are loading. I tried to turn it off and on again and nothing changes. Thank you!

    Hi iPhoneLoveeeer,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with the most recent iOS 8 update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature and scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having issues launching multiple apps or services on your iPad after a recent update to iOS 8.1.1, you may want to first try resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If you are still having issues after the reset, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPad to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring the apps or your data. You may find the following article helpful:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • The Best Tool For Multiple Animated Objects

    Hi,
    I am expirimenting with Flash Web Sites, and I would like suggestions as to a starting point for my project, and I am assuming a Flash website is where I would start.
    Basically, If I were to open up a web page, I would like to see multiple animated objects.  For example, if I were to simulate an Emergency Room, I would have an EKG displaying a heart rate, then perhaps see a breathing maching apparatus moving up and down, a Drip bag (sorry, don't know the real term), dripping into a patient's tube.  And of course, if I were to roll over an object it would animate, and if clicked on more animation or on to another page.
    I tried creating the animated objects in Fireworks, and I thought I could combine various Firworks files into one, but it didn't work (too many frames), either becasue I lack the knowlege of how to do this or simply it cannot be done that way in Fireworks.  I had a background with one animated flashing object (that was easy), but combining multiple independent objects, I could not figure it out.
    Someone suggested that I would have to use Action Scripts, which made me realize, I don't know the best way to accomplish my example above, and although I know I may be over my head, I would just like to get direction as to where I should begin.
    Should it all be in Flash in the first place?  To continue on with the example above, after a user clicks on the rollover image, a girney comes rolling in and we are giving choices on a monitor with what our next actions should be, which would take us into another page.  (this is just to give you perpective of what I am trying to accomplish).
    Should I create independent animated objects (files) in Fireworks, then somehow import them into their specified location in Flash.
    I hope this makes sense and I am hoping someone is kind enough to provide a starting point.
    Best.

    Flash is the best tool for what you want and most of it can be done once you get a handle on the basics.
    For you interactivity (rollOvers / triggering more animations with mouse) you will need some actionscript but don't get hung up on that now.
    There is a world of info out there. Google "animation basics in flash) you may have to weed through some garbage but you will find what you are looking for somewhere.

  • Adobe Animate and DPS

    Hey guys,
    Heres my little problem; I have two objects animated in Animate, when I load 1 into DPS, it plays fine but when I put two (which i need), only one plays, whichever gets touched first and the other one freezes and doesnt do anything.
    here is what ive tried:
    set both to auto-play with a delay of .125 or above that and set auto-play on Animate Doc.
    set only auto-play (.125 delay or more) on the web overlay only
    set auto-play only on Animate Doc.
    set the doc on Animate to play only onTouch (action)
    tried to use Aimation Panel int he overlays but it only supports flash, which i think that will cause the same conflict.
    none have work, only one works, whichoever the user touches first. is there any known issues with Animate and DPS?
    thanks in advance for the help!

    Instead of placing the OAM file, publish the Edge Animate project to
    HTML and use the web content overlay to link to that.

  • 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>

  • Problems Importing pdfs into iBook and sync to iPad air 2

    Is there a solution to what appears to be a widespread problem within the community? That of not being able to import books in pdf form into iBooks and subsequently syncing with an iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.1. This seems to be specific to pdfs not 'purchased' from iTunes. In the past I have had all my software manuals available on my iPad, synced with my iMac, all working happily and would dearly love to return this situation.
    I then upgraded to iOS 8. Big mistake. iTunes on the iMac (OS 10.6.8) does not sync pdfs to new iPad.
    Try syncing from MacBookPro (OS 10.10) still no luck.
    There are suggestions to use iTunes, but there is no longer an option to view 'Books' in iTunes.
    Can anybody offer a work around until such times as the collective 'apple digit' is removed and a not so 'minor bug' is fixed?
    Are Apple working on this problem or even aware of it?

    Have you tried the shortcut to add books/pdfs Command Shift O?
    Command Shift O is not available in iBooks (Greyed Out)
    Command Shift in Finder shortcuts to Documents
    Maybe I didn't explain myself very well earlier. When I am working in iBooks, having control clicked multiple files and selected 'Open With iBooks' to get the pdfs into iBooks, (as per your suggestion) a click on a pdf icon initiates nothing, a double click causes the pdf to open in Preview. This I can achieve from the Finder.
    The reason I haven't tried to sync from the MBP is that I rely on iPad iBooks as a reference source. At the moment it is working but not the way I want it to (Sync via iMac 10.8.6). When Ibooks on the MBP is finally OK, then I will try.
    Thanks for hanging in there.
