Overlapping edge files z-index

I'm embedding multple edge files on one page in indesign for a folio project.
If I overlap edge files they cancel buttons out behind.
Can I define a z-index to a button on the edge file on the base layer in indesign so the button appears on the top layer and overlaps/overrides layers?
Make sense?
Thanks in advance...

Here is why gramp's suggestion is good:
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.

How do I put text into an Edge File that clients can edit easily afterwards

Hi
Can anyone explain how I can put text into an edge file (styled with google fonts) and make it so that clients can access the text and update the text as they require?
Previous suggestion was dynamically loading a .txt file - any instructions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Resdesign!
Your code is very useful to learn how to use Json in Adobe Edge Animate!
But I have a question: why you use ( i ) as argument of the function UpdateInfo and when you recall it you use ( index )?
$.getJSON('slides.json', function(data){
          //for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
function updateInfo(i){
                    sym.$("photo").css({"background-image": "url('"+data[i].image+"')"});
                    sym.$("pillar").html(data[i].pillar);
                    sym.$("what").html(data[i].what);
                    // position
          index = -1;
          sym.$("btn").click(function(){
          index++;
                    if (index>=5){
                              index = 0;
          updateInfo(index);
Many thanks for your attention!

Need help with integrating a dreamweaver file and an edge file

Alright so I have been trying to do this for far to long so I am asking for some help this is for a web design class.
I am trying to either import a edge composition to a dreamweaver file or use the publish file from the edge file to make a completed website by adding a css navigation bar from an external css file. I want to have the css menu to the left of the logo. I have tried this numerous times but either the menu doesn't show up and is either behind the edge stage or its not there at all. When I tried it from a fresh html page and imported it from an oam file the images from the stage never showed up and I am unsure how to fix that.
                                                            ^right there.
Here are the files
Dropbox - Archive.zip
Thanks for the help.

I found the z-index for the edge animate code and it was set to 0 and i set the menu div to 40 but nothing happened and it didn't show up. This where i set the menu to a higher value and I'm not sure if this is correct, I also tried it in the css file but that also didn't work.
            <div id='cssmenu' style="z-index:40;">
<ul>
   <li><a href='index.html'>Sell Cards</a>
      <ul>
         <li><a href='#'>Pricing Guide</a></li>

Edge Animate : Edge File website structure

Can the Edge Animate generated code and associated images, js, fonts, etc.
be contained in a separate folder outside the main directory.
specifically,
If I have a separate HTML file that I created and want to load in my Edge Animate project into it,
I can easily do that if all the files are on the Main directory root that contains the HTML and CSS that point to the edge DIVs.
however,
This creates a ton of files on the root.
Ideally I would like to have all my Eddge Animate projects in a separate folder,
and my HTML pages pointing to the associated projects.
something like the image attached
I can never get this to work
anyone able to figure this out?

thanks for the speedy reply. I went and did some tests, and yes
the new features in Publish settings do help out in tidying up the folder directories. (very much appreciated)
and for the most part it works
but I have found a few issues. (and there are probably more)
on my main directory folder, I have a javascript file that is doing stuff inside my edge project.
so in edge I reference that custom.js file. in the SCRIPTS panel. (nice feature)
lets say in that .js file it is just doing an alert('hello');
so when i publish and load the index.html , it loads the external edge file and does the alert.
GREAT!
if i go and change that alert in the js file on the main directory to alert('bob"),
it will show the new alert
GREAT
now however, if I go back to my edge document and republish,
it reverts back to alert('hello');
because it seems to generate another js folder and js file and still has a reference to the js file that get duplicated in the "edge" folder
2)
font issue.
i have several edge projects being loaded into this main index.html
I am using a custom font
because i am referencing the stylesheet in the main directory the font style does not show up on the stage IDE.
however, when I play the index.html the font DOES show up as expected.
it would be nice, when publishing to another folder,
to be able to point to an external .css and have it show up while working

How do I import Edge files into my Wordpress site

Elements do not show up in edge file but they do in HTML file; no errors occured

I am a senior in college working on building a website for a fictional company for a year-long thesis graphic design project. In my class last semester, I learned how to use Edge Animate and created an 11 page website without any trouble. I had always kept the files saved to my flash drive, and kept a backup on my personal laptop as well as on my external hard drive. There was also a backup of the files on a disc that I turned into my professor in mid-December. All of these files worked fine at the time.
In early January, I wanted to make changes to the website so I installed a trial version of Edge Animate on my laptop. When I opened any of the edge files from any of the backups, the stage was blank and the animations did not show up on the timeline. The elements of the website still show up in the Library but they are no longer arranged on the stage. When I got back to school at the end of January, I tried opening the files on the school computers and had the same problem. I asked my professor to try the file that was saved to the disc and he encountered the same issues on his computer. All of these computers are either iMacs or Macbook Pros.
I have not recieved any error messages and did not do anything to corrupt the files or save over them. I am able to open the html files in a browser with no issues; all animations and images work fine. The only change I can think of is that Edge may have been updated over break and when I installed the trial version I installed a newer version, and for some reason the new version of the program could not properly load my project that I started on a older version in October or November of 2013.
I am happy to upload the files but I am unsure how to do that. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue, or will I have to start over?
Thank you!

Table files and Index files 2GB on Windows 2003 Server SP2 32-bit

I'm new to Oracle and I've ran into the problem where my Table files and Index files are > 2GB. I have an Oracle instance running version 10.2.0.3.0. I have a number of tables file and index files that have a current files size of 1.99GB. My Oracle crashes about three times a week because of a "Write Fault/Failure. I've detemined that the RDBM is trying to write a index or table files > 2GB. When this occurs it crashes.
I've been reading the Oracle knowledge base that it suggest that there is a fix or release of Oracle 10g to resolve this problem. However, I've been unable to locate any fix or release to address my issue. Does such a fix or release exist? How do I address this issue? I'm from the world of MS SQL and IBM DB2 and we don't have this issue. I am running and NTFS files system. Could this be issue be related to an Windows Fix?
Surely Oracle can handel databases > 2GB.

Can't open file "~/sites/index.html." in iWeb09

I have been searching through posts and I have noticed some that are very similar to this question, but are not exactly related. My domain file worked fine before upgrading to iWeb09. Now I get the error: can't open file "~/sites/index.html." Has anyone found a way to import the iWeb08 domain file into version 09?
Nice job Apple! How can you release a product that does not correctly import or update the file from the previous version(s)? There is no way that you could have missed this in testing...

You will never be able to open this file with iWeb, because, as it states it is a User/Sites/index.html file and iWeb cannot open this files - anything with html on the end of it is already published and iWeb cannot open this. It is not the same as your domain file.
Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and try opening your domain file, rather than something that is already published. iWeb cannot import - at least not published pages.

EDGE file will not run correctly in DPS! Any ideas on what I might do?

I have built an EDGE file to the size of a full page iPad layout (1024 X 768), with a few elements that animate. I have set it up correctly, and, published to "Animate Deployment Package. However, when it plays in DPS, there is a hesitation (or delay), then, a white - stop in the action - then the animation plays fine. I have not coded in delays or stops.
I am not a coder.
I have done a number of tests with a variety of "Poster" images, but, I still get the play "Hesitation" (of delay).
Can you let me know what I'm not doing correctly?
Thank you!

I think I know what your talking about.
Try these steps. First in Indesign set your animation to auto play and set a delay for 0.125. I have been talking with Adobe and they are going to set a guideline to always have a 0.125 delay for animations created with Edge. Second, make sure you check "Transparent Background" and "Scale Content to Fit". The good thing here is that it's full screen and set at the 1024.
Make sure you also set a poster image in Edge so you don't get the blank image before it starts playing on the iPad. One other thing. Becasue the animations are basically controlled by Safari on the iPad you may see a delay longer than the 1/8 of second you set. I attribute this to the iPad having to load it up on demand before it plays.
Hope this helps.
Ryan.

Best way to publish Edge files into html page?

Ok,
So im looking for the best way to add my edge files into my html page.
I want to make it easy to integrate edge with dreamweaver html files, e.g if I change anything in my edge project and publish it I dont need to transfer the html over to my page again.
I thought the best way to do this was put all the edge files into there own folder within my sites_files folder and then use iframe. However when I did this, I can not figure out how to use CSS to style the iframe.
this is what I have tried
<iframe id="test" src="mackbyte1_files/animation/power-out-setup/power-out-preview.html" frameborder="0" height="400px" width="940px" scrolling="no" >Your browser does not support this animation. Get a real browses made for the 21st century! We recommend Chrome or Firefox...</iframe>
I have tried using a ID for the iframe which didnt work.
Without the iframe my animation is centred in the screen from the CSS with edge html e.g
.edgeLoad-power-out-preview {
          visibility:hidden;
                    #Stage {
          height: 400px;
          width: 940px;
          margin-left: auto;
          margin-right: auto;
          border-radius: 7px;
          background-color: #CCC;
I have given up and just manully copy/paste the html into the page I want it in. this works fine however, as stated if i make changes to my animation i have to amend the html which is a little annyoying.
Is there a fix?
Thanks in advanced

IWeb Can't open file "~/Sites/index.html."

when trying to either launch iWeb or open one of my web pages - I get an iWeb dialog box that states "Can't open file "~/Sites/index.html."
any advice?

Hello Felicia,
iWeb is not capable of opening "HTML" files iWeb will only open a ".sites2" file type which is an iWeb domain file type. I would suggest doing a search for ".sites2" on your computer

Max size for file: Envelope.Index ?

I'm curious whether the file "Envelope.Index" has a maximum size where Mail.app begins to lose control and begins to have problems. Similar to when you have issues with Outlook's ".pst" files and their 2-GB limit.

I believe the 2G limit was a general file limit for Windows. It affected other applications other than Outlook. OS X doesn't have that limit that I now of.

Can't open new Lion Mail? - Try delete the file "Envelope index"!

Problem: can't start Mail.app after installing Lion. Mail.app repeatedIy crash when you accept the database upgrade.
Possible solution:
In Finder use Go to Folder... and type "~/Library/Mail".
Delete the index file "Envelope index".
Start Mail and it should work nicely.
If you fear to delete it, move it to the Desktop. Go to step 3. If Mail works, it's safe to delete the file.
This simple solution is found on many comments in this forum.

FIXED! My case was just successfully closed with Apple and I am now able to see my mail in Lion. It took 2 days for Apple to come up with the resolution, and I was told that there were other cases of a siimilar nature reported.
Here's what fixed it for me. The problem had something to do with smartmailboxes, which I use in my mail.
Close the Mail app and confirm it is closed.
Open a Finder window. Hold down the Option key while clicking Go along the top menu bar in the Finder window and click on Library.
Navigate to the mail library under your user name. In one of the subfolders, you will find 1 or more files named smartmailboxes.plist. There may be a file name similar to that with "backup" in the name, as well.
Drag each of those files to your desktop and ensure they are no longer in your mail library folders.
Restart Mail. (Those .plist files will be re-built automagically.)
This fixed my problem and I was then able to delete those plist files from my desktop. It did take a little while for the .plist files to regenerate, though.
Good luck with your fix.

PRELOAD ALL EDGE FILES AT ONCE?

Hello,
I have one edge project with single edge files. My aim is to have a html5 based website, in which it is possible to link between the files. It would be nice, if the whole project will be loaded at once instead to have the preloader after every single link.
Thanks a lot!

Tracker 0.8.3 and file content indexing

Hi forum,
yesterday I decided to reinstall meta tracker for indexing my system but I had some problems: I don't need to index file contents, I just want to index file names and the possibility to tag files. But in the tracker config dialog there isn't any kind of check box for disabling the content indexing. Does anyone know how to disable file content indexing and why is this option disabled in tracker 0.8.3-1?
Thanks,

A product compatibility is determined by 3 parts:
The product has passed Windows certification requirements and received a logo.
The app publisher or device manufacturer stated this products works with Windows 8\8.1\RT\7....
Windows 8.1 is designed with compatibility in mind.If an app or device ran on Windows 8, our goal is that it should run on Windows 8.1. During Windows development, we test most of the popular products and we are providing compatibility statements based
on this testing. For products we have not tested, compatibility statements for Windows 8.1 are being provided based on the product's compatibility status for Windows 8.
Microsoft will also take user's feedback into account and make updates accordingly, so it might take some time to update a status.
