Multiple Composition windows in AE CC 2014.1 ??

What happened with the possibiltiy to have multiple composition windows open at the same time? Am I just blinded by the sharp blue color or is it actually gone..?
If so please put it back asap!!
If I right click on the composition window tab you could get a "New window" option but it's not there anymore.

I think that you're misremembering. It wasn't under the right-click context menu; it was under the menu that appears when you click the composition name itself in the panel tab. It's still there. All that has changed is that the active area for opening that menu is just the composition name, not the whole tab.

New Update (2014.1) - How to have multiple compositions on same page?

With the latest update, it seems as though Edge now always assumes that the composition has an element ID of "Stage". Previously, I was able to have multiple compositions on the same HTML page by simply altering the default id of "Stage" for each composition to something unique. Any workarounds for having multiple compositions on the same page utilizing the 2014.1 update?

You can use the following approach

Multiple compositions as overlapping divs

Hello,
My first question on this forum and I could really use some help with this. Have been stuck on finding a solution, for well over a week.
I am trying to overlap multiple compositions in an Adobe Edge Animate project (I am using Edge Animate CC 2014.1.1).
Basically I am trying to achieve the effect shown in the image below (where the blue stage is my main stage - first composition being loaded, the red is the second and the green is the third):
I added a link to my Edge Animate project files below (I modified the main.html file to accomodate three compositions).
In raw HTML, this can be very easily achieved by using a <div> that is has "position:relative" (it would be the blue area) and nesting two divs with "position:absolute" inside it (the red and the green). My problem is getting the same effect in Edge and loading a composition in each of the two overlapping divs.
In my Edge project, main file, I have three stage divs:
<div id="StageA" class="EDGE-222475028"></div>
<div id="StageB" class="EDGE-222542206"></div>
<div id="StageC" class="EDGE-222622471"></div>
StageA would be the main container div (blue), StageB the first nested one (red) and StageC the third (green) positioned at the right margin of the main container.
I was not able to apply the same overlapping concept to Edge stage divs, as in my raw HTML example.
How can I achieve this?

Thank you,

Edge Animate 1.5 multiple compositions

I read the following in the edge 1.5 api docs:
As of Edge Animate 1.5, opening a page with more than one composition in it is not supported, but pages can be hand-authored to use multiple compositions.
What exactly does it mean, that I can put only a single composition in a HTML page?
If so, what is the "Hand-authord" solution that you offer? can you please elaborate a little bit in this issue?
Thanks for the help,
Yotam.

I cannot tell if it is indeed a race condition. Can only report back my results of different methods I attempted in order to achieve communication between 2 or more compositions on a single html page:
Adding the .oam packages via Dreamweaver Media > Insert > Edge Compositions, then using either Edge.getComposition("Comp2"); or Edge.getComposition("Comp2"); (in Actions panel of Comp1)... Fails to locate other composition.
Adding the .oam packages via Dreamweaver Media > Insert > Edge Compositions, then using jQuery/DOM to get to Comp2 elements using var comp2= $("#Comp2", window.parent.document); comp2.contents().find("blahblah"); (in Actions panel of Comp1)... Fails to locate the html document that is inside the Object element created by Dreamweaver. The only child contents() element of the Object is [object Text].
Publishing compositions as Web (not .oam packages), adding the compositions using iFrames, then using jQuery/DOM to get to Comp2 elements using var comp2= $("#Comp2", window.parent.document); comp2.contents().find("blahblah"); (in Actions panel of Comp1)... Then you have to play with HTML5 iframe sandbox settings. Works but is not so elegant.
Publishing compositions as Web (not .oam packages), adding the compositions using the methodology explained in documentation section Advanced Topics > Multiple Compositions In A Page, which entails opening each composition's html file and adding specific code by hand to the Dreamweaver html file to the <head> and then adding each composition's <div>, being sure to change the div's id (stage id). Then using jQuery/DOM to get to Comp2 elements (I have a text element called 'comp2DynText') using $("#stageTwo_comp2DynText").html( "some text" ); or whatever it is you want to do. This works however obviously requires manual changes and not using the easy to use package methodology.
Bootstrapping. Did not try this, i think it more for people wanting to switch out (show/hide) one compostion with another.
Hope that is helpful.

Edge multiple composition animations won't work in Chrome

I am having problems when rendering a multiple composition in Google Chrome.
What's happening eventually is that when I resize the browse window up above the 698px in height, the backgrounds on the website start to disappear, and they keeps disappearing one by one as long you keep resizing the browser.
Here's the link to the website.: http://www.mvcreatives.com/fellini
Any advice will be very much appreciated!

Link provided by you is not working for me.
Anyhow i guess you are facing this problem in a composition with responsive scaling.
Can you try out the workout suggested by Sarah here Responsive Scaling Makes Texts on The Buttons Disappear

How do I use edge commons composition loader to load multiple compositions with a next and back button?

I am working on an interactive book and have set up each page as a separate composition in edge.
I am using the edge commons JS library to load multiple compositions into a main composition.
You can see how this works here: Edge Commons - Extension Library for Edge Animate and Edge Reflow | EdgeDocks.com
The way the edge commons tutorial is set up requires a button for each composition i want to load. I am interested in loading multiple compositions with a "next" and "back" button, and a "swipe left, "swipe right" gesture on the content symbol that each composition is loaded into. I also need the swipe features on the content symbol not to interfere with the interactive elements on the loaded composition.
Please suggest a solution that will work without adding additional scripts beyond edge commons and jquery.

Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
Let me know if you have any luck.
//Check to see if pageCounter already exists
if (typeof EC.pageCounter === 'undefined') {

//check if the page is only 1 digit -- patch for single digit
if (EC.pageCounter < 9) {
// it is, so we need to pad a 0 on the front.
EC.pageCounterString = "0" + EC.pageCounter;
//e.g. 01 ...09,11,12,13....115,222352,,....
else {
EC.pageCounterString = EC.pageCounter;

Can't open multiple FF windows anymore

Hey there,
maybe two months ago I updated to FF 31.0 and then the problems started.
The first thing I recognized, one of my AddOns didn't work as usual, but I thought
"ok, new FF version, maybe in one or two weeks it'll work as well"
Then I recognized that I can't open anymore multiple FF windows. Tabs works as
usual, but there is no way to open more than one window. I tried:
- Strg+N
- rightclick on tab and "open in new window"
- drag&drop tab outside of the FF window
... nothing works!
A new update of my AddOn was released, but this didn't change anything.
Then I exported my Favorites, uninstalled FF 31.0 and installed 32.0 beta.
I reinstalled my AddOn, few days ago I installed 33.0 beta - always the same!
Please gimme some advice =)

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

T-Bird keeps automatically switching from composition window to main window while I am typing, which leads to typed letters being interpreted as hotkey commands

Hi,
Since I switched to Windows 8, I've had this problem with T-Bird. Updates and safe mode have not fixed it.
Basically, while I am composing a mail, t-bird automatically switches to the main window. Because I am in the middle of typing, it usually freezes for a moment, sometimes longer and goes transparent and a (Not Responding) appears, but usually unfreezes and then interprets all the intervening keystrokes as commands. All sorts of damage is done: messages deleted, threads hidden, sometimes a "go to last unread message" box appears. It's a real drag.
I thought it might be a keystroke combination that is making the program change windows, but I'm fairly sure I've seen it switch when I just have the composition window idly open. I think it may be switching whenever T-bird checks for new mail.
One thing to mention: I often switch between US English keyboard layout and Portuguese language layout. I haven't systematically tested whether it happens in one or the other, but the POR layout has some accent marks here and there. still, I've been careful not to accidentally touch the CNTRL key and as I say, I've seen it switching while idle.
Any help is appreciated. It's getting to the point where I can't really use T-Bird any more and am sadly looking for alternatives.
Thanks,
BL

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

How do I switch to HTML in the composition window

I normally compose messages in plain text, and digitally sign them. However, on occasion I'll want to embed a picture, so I want to switch to HTML. The only way I've found to do that is to change the account setting before bringing up a composition window. I'd prefer to switch to HTML for just that message, and do it from the composition window. Have a missed a feature somewhere that does this?

Thanks for the tip. Would like an entry in one of the pull down menus for this.

Managing Multiple Dynamic Windows (AJAX/HTML)

Looking for a little direction on managing multiple dynamic windows. Creating windows that can be identified, and altered potentially, from the main window. Also, testing to see if a window already exists.
Any help in idenitifying windows would be great. Just looking for a little insight to get me going.
Thanks

I figured out a way around the dynamic window references. Not truly the ideal solution however it works. I essentially created an array just for window instances. On window creation, I add a reference to it within my window array. Then reference the array to see if the window reference exists. If so, then do nothing. If not, then I can create the new window. On close of the dynamically generated windows, I remove the reference to it from my window array.
It works, but I feel this is not the most ideal way to do it. If there is another solution or approach that may be easier please feel free to add it.

In 4.0.1, if I have multiple firefox windows open, when I try to close one window, it closes all. Why can't I close just one window at a time?

I open multiple Firefox windows so that I can quickly Alt+Tab between windows instead of using my mouse to point to tabs. When I close one of my Firefox windows, the browser closes all my windows. What happen to the "Close" feature under the File tab? Why don't I have the option to close only one window at a time?

I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?

Why do multiple Download windows pop up when I download a PDF or other file?

Everytime I try to download a file (PDF, JPG, DOC) that was attached to an email (I am using Outlook WebMail) the document will download fine HOWEVER eight (8!!!) or more Download windows pop up as if I tried to download that file eight (or more) times.
So then I have to "X" out of each window after downloading one file. It is the same file listed on each popup window.
Since this is a new problem I tried shutting down the computer and restart but not successful.
Firefox 26.0
Any help...PLEASE!?!?!?

THANKS Waka_Flocka_Flame!!!
(I pressed the "Problem Solved" button however it did not give me a chance to type anything so I found the thread and pressed "Reply")
Anyhoo...I went to Safe Mode and Firefox worked great. Went back to regular mode and again multiple Download windows when trying to download a file.
I then did as you suggested and poked around in the Add Ons and there was something called Download Manager Tweak that was upgraded last week and that was when the problems started. I got rid of it and my Downloads are working great.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

Best way to manage multiple Help windows

Hi all:
I'm working with X5 to create Help for a large modular
application. I have a single Help project, but want to deliver help
content only for the specific modules used by clients. I'm
attemtping to create multiple Help windows with a Main window
containing Help for standard deliverables and other windows
containing Help for specific modules. What's the best way to
achieve this using a single project. Or do I have to maintain
multiple projects?
I tried using customized windows but there are some
limitations. I manually created a new hhc file for a custom window
and it's working fine. But, I cannot open the custom window by
clicking a book in the TOC (which is what I want) of the main
window but can do so by clicking a topic. Also, I cannot assign
separate default topics for each custom window. Further, when I
click a hyperlink in a custom window that links to a topic in the
main window, the topic from the main window displays in the custom
window but it's not listed in the TOC of the custom window, so
that's awkward.
Please help!!!
Romeo Coutinho

From the user's point of view a merged set of help files is
probably the best solution. Using global windows the whole help
system is displayed in one window and shows only topics for the
modules installed (if you can get your setup people to comply with
your wishes that is ;-) ).
Handling multiple projects is not more complicated than
handling a big one. Each help topic only exits in one project; if
you want to create or update the help for module XYZ_1, you open
project XYZ_1. If you want to edit a topic in the project Master,
you open project Master. After editing a project you compile just
this module and nothing else.
The only thing you have to learn are the peculiarities of the
help compiler regarding merged projects. Refer to
http://www.helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_merge.htm
for a good description of these kinks.

ITunes 11 bug - no more multiple playlist windows

Hi - Please Apple, restore the multiple window feature in iTunes so I can copy between playlists and easily add individual songs from a CD to a playlist.
Why would this useful feature be removed from iTunes?
I can only think that someone forgot to give the "multiple open windows" use-cases to the people testing iTunes 11.
I mean, really!

1. This is not a bug.
2. Apple doesn't respond on these forums. It's a user to user support forum.
