Navigate to additional Edge animations

I'm just getting started in Edge, and have a very basic question.  I'm hoping to store multiple animations within a folder that can be accessed from a common menu, and also allow the user to navigate back and forth across the html files.  I'm just not sure how to apply the proper actions to the buttons.  Do I use Play, Open URL, Play From???? and how would this coding appear in the action for my button?  I don't have a designated URL at this time, just wishing to test the navigation features in browser.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond.  Unfortunately, I'm still at a  loss.  If I'm building animations in Edge Animate and I want to navigate to a label along the timeline, I would apply an action to my button by selecting "play" and adding the script ....sym.play("label_name_here");
However, I am building a series of edge animations (html files) that will be stored within the same folder, and must allow the user to navigate back and forth between the related html files. As a  result, how would I approach the scripting process when i apply actions to these buttons?  If I'm in "movie_A" and hope for my button to navigate me to open "movie_B.html", do I select "play", "openURL", "play from"???? (when applying actions) and what would this code look like?
I fear my animations will be too complex to try and compile several into a single animation and must find a solution which allows me to navigate back and forth between resulting html files.  I'm sure this is a simple solution, I'm just not hip to the software and completely clueless with the scripting.  I've consulted several tutorial type examples which are helpful explaining how you can navigate wihtin a single edge file, but no one states an obvious solution to navigating between edge animations.

  • How can I allow a user to control my Edge Animation using only the scrollbar?

    I have seen a few examples of an Edge Animation being conrolled by the scrollbar, and I am wondering how I could achieve the same effect.
    Example:
    http://dominikruckli.ch/scrolltest/scrolltest.html
    I have searched the corners of the internet and have found 2 or 3 different tutorials, but none of them have proven successful.
    In basic terms, I am creating an animation that involves a character getting from Point A to Point B, from the beginning of my timeline to the end.
    Rather than exporting my animation so that it plays automatically, by itself, I would like for a user to scroll vertically, and the playing of the animation moves in conjunction with the scroll bar.
    As the user scrolls from top to bottom on the scrollbar, the character in my animation moves from Point A to Point B.
    Also, if the user stops scrolling... the character will stop moving as well.
    In addition, I would like the surrounding area, outside of my stage, to remain hidden. I do not want to allow the user the ability to scroll around and see off of my designated stage area. I only want the scroll bar to act as a playhead for the animation.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Note:
    If you have special CSS (or other form of Code), please provide specific instructions on how to insert this code, where it should be located, what part(s) of the code should be altered, and any additional instructions on how to apply any form of coding. (Screenshots would be amazing)

    Never mind.  I figured it out myself.  I changed the myComp.play("scenefour"); to myComp.getStage().play("scenefour"); and it worked fine. 

  • Issue with multiple Edge animations in the same article. Please help!

    We have 3 edge animations in our 3 page article, one in eache page. The first edge animation you view autoplays great, however when you swipe down or up the other animations just wont play. All of them set to autoplay 0.125 with transparent background. It seems that no matter which one you see first, it kills the other two. We tried importing HTML and DPS  from Edge with the same results.
    Thank you in advance!

    I just did a quick test and experienced mixed results. I placed a single edge animation on the first page of a horizontal article, then placed the same edge animation on three pages of the vertical orientation (dual-orientation folio). The edge animation shows up perfectly on the horizontal layout, but only displays on pages 1 and 3 of the vertical orientation. It does not load on page 2.
    I also placed an additional Web Content Overlay on page two connecting to a website which loads fine. The edge animation shows the spinning/loading icon but nothing loads.
    Sorry, not much help here just sharing similar bugs.

  • Stopping Edge animation play after page visit.

    I have an Edge animation as a banner on my homepage. I was wondering how, if for example someone landed on my homepage the animation plays out, then navigates to my portfolio page, then back to the homepage, the animation would not play again. I think I'm trying to go the more is less route, also I think it will increase overall page loading speed, than trying to replay the animation everytime you return to my homepage. I hope this made sense. Thanks.

    Hi there, the first thing that comes to mind is to use session storage. Set a variable "isFirstTime", and check it on Stage.compositionReady in Edge. You can then jump to the end of your timeline, effectively skipping the animation. Alternately, you could set and check session storage outside of Edge, and swap out the div's contents to either contain Edge content, or a static image, etc.
    Here is a good example:
    http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp
    Session storage stores data until the user closes the browser, so they would see the animation again if they closed the browser and visited your site they next day, but they wouldn't see it again on the same visit.

  • Edge animation doesn't work in Chrome

    My Edge animation works fine in Safari, but doesn't work in Chrome and is sluggish in Firefox.  It eventually plays in Firefox but appears to be loading slowly then plays but is sluggish.  No problems in Safari.  How do I go about troubleshooting this problem.  It doesn't load half of my assets in Chrome.
    Thank you

    Hello Elaine or Adobe Staff, elainefinnell
    We are having a problem with an animation in Edge Animate involving transform and clipping.
    Basically, the animation is clipped in Chrome when viewing it, while not in other browsers.
    There is a known issue when filters are applied to transformed objects - which would then clip in Chrome.
    Chrome: Clipping may occur in browser when a transformed element has a filter applied. (3494343)
    Would it be possible for you to have a look to the project and tell us if we are doing something wrong.
    As there are no filters, it seems whether an additional issue, or a problem with our project.
    Thank you for your time and answer,
    it would save us time in order not to find a workaround while letting down this specific animation.
    Best,
    C.

  • Edge animation not displaying in IE9

    I have a simple, small edge animation implemented in my muse file and it displays fine in Firefox, but not in IE9. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Can we define terms so we know we're talking about the same thing?  When you say "capture or insert animation" I'm a little confused about several parts of that description.  Is your animation a SWF file (ShockWave Flash)?  Or is it perhaps a FLV (FLash Video)?  Or might it be an inserted AVI file (Windows audio-video) such as you might take from a video camera?
    So I guess, first, my confusion has to do with the definition of the "animation" file, since in the strictest terms, any of those might qualify as animation, but in fact, each might be treated differently.
    I am also somewhat confused by your use of the word "capture".  How do you capture the animation.  Are you referring to a full-motion slide within the project?  Or are you using some other program to "capture" something that is animated in nature?
    Jennifer, I apologize for all the questions.  Perhaps someone else might read your description and know exactly what you are referencing, and if so, I encourage him to jump right in.  Thanks for the additional information. 

  • Can I get an Edge animation to auto start without user interaction?

    I have a looping Edge animation I placed in my DPS document. In the Folio Overlays I have Auto Play checked with a .125 second delay and transparent background. When I preview it though the animation only starts after I touch it. I looked at this thread and there was some talk about possibly adding code to the Edge animation? Is there another way? Thanks!

    Neil,
    I have a similar problem in that when I have my iPad in landscape the animation works, but in portrait I have to "tap" before it starts although both have "Autoplay" checked in the Web Overlay. The animation works in Browser Preview.
    In addition I have reported some other problems with regard to Edge in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4608307#4608307, but haven't gotten any response. Do mind checking this out too?

  • How do I export an Edge Animation into a single folder? (no subfolders)

    I need to export an Edge Animation so that all of the javascript, html, and images are located in one folder. (no subfolders)
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    unless you feel like hacking the exported edge code, no..
    if you do.
    open [you comp name]preloader.js in an editor look for "aloader" and remove the paths from edge.*.min.js and the jquery1-7...
    open [your comp name]-edge.js  and edit " var im='images/';  " to var im=''";
    then cut paste all your files to the sinle folder

  • Bootstrap, height of edge animation and others div content in the page- overlay issue

    I’ve a problem with the position others div tags in a page with a edge animation in the top (in the below example, div “box-animation”… export it with “publish target: Web”).
    The static content (in the below example, class “content-static”) is always overlay to the animation, instead to view it below div “box-animation”.
    The first solution is to set an height for edge animation container (for example, #box-animation height: 500px) but its very complicate to manage it with responsive website.
    So, how to view the static content in a div tag after an animation create with edge animate, to avoid overlay effect?
    This my first animation with Edge Animate and I always thought that the animation would have been placed in the html order of the webpage...
    Thanks
    Example:
    <body>
    <div id=“box-animation”><div id="Stage" class=“animation1…”>[edge animation]</div></div>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="span12">
          <div class=“content-static”><p>Test content</p></div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    </body>

    Hi... put a trasparent gif image, with the same animations's width/height, in the first div after the edge code container.
    If you want responsive layout, remember to remove width/height values.
    <body>
    <div id=“box-animation”><div id="Stage" class=“animation1…”>[edge animation]</div></div>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="span12"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt=""/>
          <div class=“content-static”><p>Test content</p></div>
        </div>
      </div>

  • How to create a link with an anchor outside of the edge animation ?

    Hello
    I want to know if it's possible to create a link with an anchor that is placed outside of the edge animation , on the same page ?
    Tanks

    Is it... very likely..., javascript is javascript...Has anyone yet? Maybe i haven't looked.
    You only need 3 files... not including "Edge Includes" and "External Art Assets"
    NAME_edge.js
    NAME_edgeActions.js
    NAME_edgePreload.js
    The advantage of Edge being that u have the "power" to do whatever you like, but as with new things it takes awhile to figure it all out.

  • I'm trying to place my edge animation in dps but I can't swipe over it to take me to the next page?

    I'm using an edge animation on the Samsung Galaxy and it won't allow me to swipe over to go to the next page. Does anyone have a solution to this, or can this not be done? Please advise.
    Thanks

    Hey Ross,
    Another user had the same problem and came up with this workaround:
    With regards to using it in DPS, it's not an ideal solution but I imported it as a web overlay rather than an html article and made it smaller than full page so there is a border around the edge on which the user can swipe to turn the page and tap to see menu options.

  • How to integrate an Edge animation in a website by hand

    I created an Edge animation and published it as an .oam file.  But i need to work on the website on someone elses computer who does not have creative cloud or even Dreamweaver.   I am working there in a text editor. 
    What are the requirements - what do I have to do - to integrate the .oam file into that site?    All the references I've found bring in Dreamweaver to do it.   I don't have access to Dreamweaver in that environment, only to a text editor to edit the html. 
    I actually was able to publish the project as a Web site and integrated it that way without the .oam file, but I would like to know how to use the .oam file because it might be simpler.

    Hi, Ken-
    The OAM file is actually a compressed file to be used for import into another product, like Dreamweaver or InDesign.  We don't recommend you package in OAM; instead, simply ZIP up your files and hand-integrate the unpacked HTML as an iframe on your friend's machine.
    Hope that helps!
