Where is the "Scrollable Frame" on the Overlay Creator panel?

I can't seem to find the "Scrollable Frame" on my Overlay Creator panel and now I'm caught in the middle. Is there anything that I missed? I can only see the following:
Hyperlink
Slideshow
Image Sequence
Audio & Video
Panorama
Web Content
Pan & Zoom.

I know you mean the other Bob, but the purpose of that is to have something to align with the edge of the scrollable content.
Without the dummy content you wouldn’t be able to position the content. Try doing it without that and you’ll see the problem.

Overlay Creator - Slideshow crashes InDesign

Hi Folks,
another Problem with DPS, not sure if its because of OS X Lion, because it wasn't before. The second Im clicking on choosing Folder with pictures in the Overlay Creator ->Slideshow everything crashes...
Anybody an idea? Trashing prefs didn't help. Creative Suite 5.5

Of course this doesn't help you ;-) but I am experiencing exactly the same issue. Have tried reinstalling also with no luck.

InDesign CS 5.5: Overlay Creator preview issues

I'm currently working on creating a tablet publication pitch for a client and followed the directions to install the Folio Producer tools compatible with CS 5.5 and everything seems to be working... except for the preview option on Overlay Creator and any other preview option on my computer. I uploaded the document to test it on Adobe Content Viewer and it worked, but that's really clunky to test my interactivity. Is there something I need to do to make it I can preview my folio on my computer?
Thanks.

New Overlay Creator tools (Pullout Tabs)

Hello DPS community,
My question is in regards to the new tools available in DPS. I have created my folio for my senior degree project over the last few months. I have a 3rd generation iPad that I am previewing my project with the new version of Content Viewer.
I would like to use some of the new tools available in the latest version of the Overlay Creator, mostly for the new pan & zoom features like those Pullout Tabs Adobe has shared with us on the DPS tips app. However my Overlay Creator panel must not be up to date because it does not display these new functions like Scrollable Frame. How can I update my Overlay Creator Panel so that I can take advantage of these new features? Do I just run an update on InDesign or do I have to download a new version of the Overlay Creator? Also will updating the Overlay Creator Panel negatively effect my overall project in any way? I am a little hesitant to update because everything works well as is and I don't want to break it and go into freakout mode. Has anyone had any experiences updating to the new tools, any problems while previewing or creating on InDesign. I am waiting to hear back before I attempt to update.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

2 Overlay Creator questions (audio/video)

I have a video file placed with a controller selected. It works fine in the Content Viewer, but not on the iPad. When tapped on the iPad, the image just flashes on the point of contact but does not activate the video.
The other issue regards the Overlay Creator not recognizing placed audio or video files. I've placed both audio and video files (some from the Adobe tutorials from the prerelease). When selected, the Overlay Creator does not apparently register them as valid audio or video files since I can't access the OC dialog boxes.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong or possibly missing?

When your creating new overlays.. do you have an InDesign object selected first? Alot of people forget that the overlay panel shows extended options of base indesign objects. Example you have to create a hyperlink object before you can see the hyperlink options. Also make sure your updated to folio producer tools 1.01

Nothing new in CS6 for Overlay Creator?

Is no-one else a little dissapointed there's nothing new as far as the Overlay Creator Panel goes in InDesign? I realise javascript transitions are still in their infancy, but I was kind of hoping for further options with controlling object states and transitions.
Coming over from the Flash world, or even just the array of options that InDesign offers in the way of Flash presets, I feel there's a lack of this for .folio files.
I've been experimenting with Wallaby for a while, the massive work around to replicate a simply Flash transition is still to clunky. Even with the cleanest Flash files built from scratch (we're talking a single tween) it still throws out too many errors, but thats not my problem. The fact you can't even preview your then exported transition in the Desktop Viewer is just poor. Any good reason why this isn't possible, because having to go through the iPad Content Viewer every time is making for the longest workflow imaginable.
I suppose I should learn more about CSS3/Javascript, but I thought the point of this was what you can do inside of InDesign, without having to go InDesign > Flash > Wallaby > Opening CSS files > InDesign > Adobe DPS > iPad to make a simple animation?

@Neil,
Thought I'd let this stew for a day while I checked out Edge. Bear in mind I juggle lots of different projects on a daily basis, but manged to get to grips with it immediately. Timeline, keyframes, eases, scenes… its just like Flash. Wow! Only in a more friendly and modern Adobe interface (I always felt like Flash was stuck with some Macromedia mentality).
Very impressed with this on the surface. I've no idea what kidn of code it kicks out, and I don't care, as far as components to websites or using in conjunction with DPS this is great. I suppose our developer could always tidy up the script if need be. Very much looking forward to full release.
Quick question though
This expires in 35 days. Is it refering to my particular install or is this is message saying all copies of Edge? I just couldn't figure out if this means I won't be able to continue testing it, or everyone won't?
@Peter
I agree, this kind of thing probably should be kept out of InDesign, as its print programme at heart. Being able to edit text and produce layouts quickly is my main concern, anything the slows it down isn't helpful in my eye. I'd say there is a fair bit of Photoshop influence in there no though, layer styles have a lot to be thankful for.

OVERLAY CREATOR NOT RESPONDING

My Overlay Creator Panel is not reponding. When I try to select or click atributes any of the effects, Video, Object States, Web content Ect. nothing will apply. For example the Auto Play button for video, web, or slideshow
Ive used the panel and produced Viewer Apps before and it just stopped working. I have reinstalled that tools. Restarted machine, and indesign, everything seems to be up to date. I have tryed disconnecting from servers and still nothing can be selected in the Overlay Creator.
What can I do to troubleshoot to solve this so I can get back to producting interactive overlays.
Thansk.

Indesign restart does not help
but ... removing the old preferences and reinstalling the DPS tools solved the problem.
Thanks for the hint

Overlay Creator preview issues

I am trying to use the preview capability that is built into Overlay Creator and any of the other interactive tools in InDesign. I cannot find Adobe Content Viewer to download to my desktop. I thought maybe it was just a part of the Folio Builder download. Basically, there is no way I can preview my work on my desktop. The only way I can preview is by actually uploading the folio and previewing it on my iPad. I am on Mac OS X version 10.7.5.

Overlay Creator looks different and there's no preview button

When I'm working at home I have Lion OS and the overlay creator has more of a vertical layout and the preview button is prominently placed on the bottom of the palette. When I'm at work the OS is Snow Leopard and the overlay creator is more horizontal and there is no preview button (see screen shot)
When I first saw this I thought the difference was do to the OS but where's the preview. The preview under Interactive doesn't appear to work for overlays...

That is very, very old version of the overlay creator from the prerelease program. Time to update your tools.

Pan & Zoom option in Overlay Creator disabled/grayed out when trying to create scrolling text

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a scrolling text frame using the Paste Into method. I've created a long text frame, cut it, pasted into another frame. When I go to the Overlay Creator and click Pan & Zoom, it tells me to select a cropped image. I've tried an identical work flow on another computer and it works fine - the pan only radio button is available.
I've reinstalled the CS5 extensions, restarted my Mac and I can't resolve the issue. I only downloaded the extension tools last week, so I'd hope they aren't too out of date now. The About screen tells me I'm on 11.4.2.20111116_m_671500 7.0.3.13
Any help appreciated.
Adam

The best place to get the new builds is the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). You can also view the detailed help topic about installing:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html
If you install the Folio Producer tools and then the Folio Builder panel, you should be able to sign in just fine. Let us know if you still get the error.

InDesign CS6 Missing "Overlay Creator" entirely?

Hi all,
I've recently downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS6 as well as the DPS Desktop Tools (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5377&fileID=5010) and I'm following the "Get Started" tutorial here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/digital-publishing-suite-hands -on-tutorial.html
I've followed the instructions, installed InDesign CS6, Installed the tools yet when I open the example project in the tutorial I have no overlay creator option form Window > Extensions
Can someone help me please? Point me in the right direction?

In Indesign CS6 it is called Folio overlays. Go to Windows>Folio Overlays.

Indesign 5.5 wont load overlay creator

This image shows what Overlay Creator looks like when I try to add something, specifically a video. It wont give me options to do anything with it, even tho the Media window does recognize it and allows me to create the poster from the video, overlay creator wont, and the folio preview wont play the video at all.
I tried deleting Indesign preferences already (ctrl+alt+shift) but nothing changed.
Are there any steps to follow which Im not aware about?
I am adding the video from the Media window.
When I save it to pdf interactive I do see the video but not in my folio preview at Content Viewer
Thanks

That worked Amazingly Tomek!!
Thanks a lot!!
Im having problems now with adding pan and zoom images, wont give me the option to adjust pan and zoom on images, is there a default image (im using jpg) file to be used only?
Is there a page with a list of files accepted by overlay creator?
Thanks again!!

Overlay creator crashing InDesign

Hello,
I've been working with DPS in InDesign CS5.5 with no problems. About five days ago I updated to the current Folio Producer Tools and Folio Panel Tools for CS5.5 and have had no problems. Today out of the blue, every time I try to open the Overlay Creator panel it crashes InDesign.
I am on a Mac and I have rebooted, trashed InDesign preferences, uninstalled the tools and reinstalled, and even went back to an earlier version of the Folio Producer and Folio Panel. I tried opening the Overlay Creator in a new blank document and it still crashes the entire program.
I'm tearing my hair out and would appreciate any new suggestions of what I might try.
Thank you,
lkovalic

Hi Dave,
I'm not sure how the server problems would affect opening the Overlay Creator -- I'm not trying to upload anything or trying to do a preview -- the simple act of trying to open the Overlay Creator extension is what is crashing InDesign. Doesn't that extension reside on my computer?
Thank you,
lkovalic
