Navigation bar online magazine Indesign CS5
Hi,
I need for my online magazine (exported as (interactive) swf or pdf) buttons like zoom in and zoom out. I know how to put in buttons for previous and next pages. But with what (Adobe) program can you add the zoom in and out function for an online magazine? For example like what online services like Issuu.com do.
I have read the threads here but I don't know an answer yet to my obstacle. Hopefully somebody can enlighten me
This thread comes close to my question: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/323955?tstart=0 but this one is about CS4. I am working in Indesign CS5.
I have read some solutions about actionscript, but I have no experience in actionscript. I have the Adobe Standard Design package, so isn't there a program included in this package which I can use to make my magazine readable on internet?
Yopu mean something like this:

or

I´m afraid you will need some help of third-party tools like eDocker (http://www.edocker.com)
Those samples have been done in InDesign and after exported as SWF, and finalized with eDocker2 Desktop Publisher.

I can't find a way to add "PDF features" on a SWF file exported from InDesign CS5.5 such as:
- a print button
- a download PDF button
- a navigation bar (outside of the pages)
edocker provides these features but it is pretty expensive and does not allow a lot of customization.
Would anyone have an idea of how to do it ?
Thank you.eDocker actually allows you to use all the interactive features you can create in InDesign. It kind of "wraps" your exported SWF into a user interface with all those 3 elements asked + more (zoom for instance)

SiteCatalyst as a Statistic tool for online publications through Indesign CS5?
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Omnitures SiteCatalyst as a tool by getting statistics for an online publication (magazine) made in Indesign CS5?
Earlier this year I went to the danish CS5 release-event where they talked about Omniture as a partner, and that it would be possible and easy to use the catalyst-product when producing and publishing a magazine (E-paper/PDF).Hello,
This forum is for the CS Live service SiteCatalyst NetAverages (http://netaverages.adobe.com), not SiteCatalyst itself.
Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question. You might have better luck posting in the InDesign forum, here:

Including a zoom bar in a .swf Indesign CS5 document
Dear all,
I am trying to create a flipbook with Indesign CS5 and I am wondering if I have to use .swf or .pdf export.
My questions are :
> in .swf export, can we include :
- .pdf downloadable documents
- zoom bar
> in .pdf export, can include an effect wich is similar to intercative pages
Thanks for your answers.
Have a nice day !Hi
I´m afraid you can´t if you use InDesign only.
Check out add-on procuct called eDocker (http://www.edocker.com) It does all that and lot´s of extra features as well...
Check the sample:
http://www.edocker.com/_demo/edocker-online-demo/index.html
There´s also a fully functional few days trial... you can test it yourself with your own SWF files you have exported from InDesign.
(remember to ask discount code if you download the trial...=) -
Navigational Bar Works Perfect In iWeb, But Not Online...
To whom it may concern,
I am having an issue with the navigational bar working online with my website. In iWeb everything looks and works perfect when tested and all hyperlinks are active, but when it is published the Home page is all that comes up and the Navigational menu will not highlight, show rollover, turn the cursor into a hand, or open the other pages. I have tried to fix the issue, unsuccesfully, by arraging differently, removing the custom toolbar, making sure nothing is layered improperly, etc..getting frustrated and need help.
The Website is: http://wicked-waters.com/Wicked_Waters/Home.html
Thank you in advance!Yes, frustration. iWeb has that effect on people.
Anyway, this is covering the links :

Move it down and/or remove the white space.

Hiding navigation bars in online AS 3.0 reference
The online Flex 4 Beta language ref. seems to have been replaced by the AS 3.0 combined reference. Is there a way to hide the navigation bars that offer filtering options so that more of the reference content can be seen once the settings have been made?
I found the problem. I had converted some buttons into graphics so that when I stop on the intended keyframe the over/down highlight would remain constant.
But I did't change the default loop setting to single frame - so it was looping through all the states. Ultimately I ended up using movie clips as buttons and using code to keep them in state I want. -

InDesign CS5 v7.0.4 won't make a package - hangs at very end of progress bar.
Using InDesign CS5 v7.0.4 trying to simply make a package. The progress bar (moving very slowly) hangs at the last percentage and doesn't complete the process.
Any ideas of how to fix this??Every file or one particular file?
If one particular file, try exporting it as IDML and reopen in InDesign. If all files, try restoring your preferences.

I made a new website for my high school. I used the same code for the navigation bar in the old site for the new site and for some reason my new site's nav bar won't show up in firefox browser or for that matter any browser other than Internet. Any ideas of why?
Looks fine here. You may need to bypass the cache if you uploaded new code.
Reload a web page and bypass the cache with:
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

How to create this cool navigation bar in CS5 Dreamweaver
Dear All,
Can somebody please walk me through how to create this cool navigation bar?
Please see the link below:
http://www.viesso.com/viesso/home.php
Thank you for all your help!
I am designing my own website and I stuck at the beginning...
AgiYou can either use CSS to style the SpryMenuBar or there are commercially available options like Project Seven's Pop Menu Magic: http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/index.htm . If you have the money I personally recommend the latter of the two, but you can easily style the Spry menu as well.

I got really fed up today.
Trying to resize a magazine, all the articles are individual documents compiled in a book. So each "chapter" is at least 3 pages and at most 15.
I adore the spanning columns feature, I've got sevral articles that this is very handy to setup. But I find the whole program is completely unstable when using this feature.
I started removing the anchored text frames and applying the spanning columns for the headers, with a paragraph rule above for the background colour.
But if I click around too quickly the whole program freezes and won't budge. I could be selecting an anchored frame to remove it. Or changing paragraph style, or simply opening another panel.
I checked the Task Manager and watched for 15 minutes as InDesign consumed more and more memory - going from 150k to 650k in about 10 minutes.
This happened a bunch of times. I restarted, reset my prefs, exported to idml, and all the other nick nack fixes.
Indesign just keeps bombing out. At which point i have to end the process and then restart indesign and I lose a tiny bit of work.
So frustrated today - over seemingly simple tasks, like selecting something, and the program crashes. This behaviour does not happen when I am not using Span Columns.
Is anyone else having stability issues with CS5 and Spanned Columns?Thanks Bob
I thought myself that there was a lot going on. And I appreciate that. But thinking about it, the only addition here is the spanning of columns and balanced columns.
I was at one stage incorpartaing detect edges on an image and had to give up on it because there was a 3 minute delay on simple things like cutting the image (as a test).
I just feel that perhaps more could be done in speeding up InDesign.
I've had a hard enough time updating the software, upgrading the hardware is going to be tough.
I don't think Indesign CS5 minimum specs included a supercomputer either?

Hi,
I am part of a team of people who are planning to launch an online magazine for sport horses in the next four to six months. I will be the lead designer and tech guy for the enterprise. However, I have never done anything quite like this before, and need some help.
I plan on designing the magazine layout in InDesign. I am not sure what software or service to use to publish this product. Any suggestions? We are planning on making a page flipping, picture, video and text magazine. Take a look at This is Fly or Catch Magazine for an example of what we like. These two publications are what we would love to end up looking like. What software or service would you guys suggest? Thanks a ton.I have solution called eDocBrowser. With it you can export your magazine to SWF-format from InDesign as usual, with page flipping, buttons, hyperlinks etc... When you publish your SWF-files, you simply add couple of extra files into same folder and you have ready-to-use magazine with lots of extra features like zooming for instance. Whole user interface that comes with eDocBrowser is customizable. You can put your magazines logo there, you can change appereance ob buttons, user interface top- and bottom bar.... and you can put more than one SWF there if you like, several issues of magazine, or you can split large file to parts and export one SWF/per part. eDocBrowser links them together as they were one SWF file.
Single license of eDocBrowser costs 80 euros (aprx 100 dollars).
More versatile +eDocBrowser is coming too, there is also a text search, possibility to change resolution of SWFs (indesign normally uses resolution of 96ppi when you export SWF).
Demo magazines:
http://www.prepress.fi/eDocBrowser
This is actually dummy series of 3 SWF files, all of them exported from indesign
http://www.prepress.fi/e_news
This is series of two magazines, experimental text search is activated here, try word PrePress for instance, it gives you more than one hit... (write it like that, with capital P letters... search is so far case sensitive)

Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5
Hello,
I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5. I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window. I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created. I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
Thanks in advance
TKOkay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally. If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink. It can be anything from InDesign: a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea. Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is. -
I am having a problem with InDesign CS5 crashing when I try to open a file that formerly opened just fine. Even restored versions from Time Machine or that I had a backup saved on an external hard drive will not open. I recently had to reconstruct a 90 page magazine for the same reason. I heard that Extensis Suitcase might be causing the problem so I disabled the plug-in, but still can't get the file open. The file in question is full of tables and would be a nightmare to redo. I am running Snow Leopard. It will open briefly and tell me that fonts are missing, then crash.
This is the first part of the crash report:

I got rid of the Mindsteam grammar plug-in also and sent a tersely
worded letter to the vendor. When you pay nearly $200 for a plug-in, you
expect it to work. I don't have time for this aggravation! I truly
appreciate the help I've gotten here. This has certainly discouraged me
from using any third-party plug-ins. I was ready to go back to Quark

InDesign CS5 crashes when trying to export a PDF and/or a Warning dialog box appears!
Just bought a new macbook pro 15" non retina the other day and the SAME version of InDesign CS5 that was running on my 2010 iMac is now crashing each time I get a Warning dialog box and/or try exporting a PDF?!??!?! How was this NOT an issue before and now is??? Running the same Lion 10.7.4 as well....
Holding the alt key while deleting a page does help it not prompt the warning dialog box, but no help to exporting a pdf...
So guessing this is a Apple issue and we need an update or??
I am only using Fontbook and have NOT even added any new fonts yet, practically bare bones mac still with just CS5...
What is also weird is that the warning dialog boxes are always BLANK and have no text on them, like there is a font issue??
I've cleared the system font cache, reset InDesign prefs, reset PRAM and NVRAM, re-installed InDesign and updated to 7.0.4...
This is madness....please help me in the name of all that is good.
Crash:
http://pastebin.com/DYv0vwNQfigured it out:
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!
