Page curl in Flash

Hi, am putting together an ezine for a client and he likes the page curl effect when exporting to swf file from indesign. I also need to place video in there too and the exported swf does not allow this. Is my only option to produce the whole thing in Flash? If so - can anyone tell me where I can get the script for creating the interactive page curl effect

Do a Google search for a "page flip tutorial"... and include whatever version of actionscript you plan to use in the search terms

How do I add a poster to a page curl/turn PDF in InDesign 2014?

I have created a two-page Christmas card for my company. I used the Adobe TV video to see how to create a SWF file with page curl to import into an InDesign file and keep page turn in a PDF.
The only problem is that I can't find how to use the first page of the card as a poster for the PDF; when receivers see the file at the moment, they get is the image below, a screen-filling image with a SWF icon in the corner with a button that says 'activate here' which looks ugly.
In the Adobe TV video which uses an older version of InDesign, it's easy to see how to set a page as the poster but in InDesign 2014, I can't see how it's done.
Any suggestions? Thanks for reading this.

I strongly suggest you rethink any use of SWF. Most emails are opened on mobile devices today and that mean no flash.
Add to that many people don't even have it installed on desktops anymore.

How to create a PDF document with page curls using Adobe CS 4?

My goal is to create a PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe CS 4.
1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign CS 4 where the page turn (curl) transition was applied.
2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a PDF file with flip page or page curl transitions.
These are the problems.
1.      The background is not transparent.
2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's screen size. It increases the page margins.

PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

How can i have Page Curl and video in same pdf?

I just learn to add Page Curl to a PDF in this video InDesign: Creating interactive PDFs with Page Turn and Flash animations | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV. but when i do it now the video i have in the PDF wont start. Is ther a way that i can have both Page Curl and a Working video in the same PDF ?

Sorry, you are insisting in a functionality which is NOT supposed to work and will not work in some rare exceptions. It makes no sense to say I will that it works this and that way, when it does not work,, because this functionality is explicit not supported.
With Acrobat 9 and X it was possible to use SWF without extra Flashplayer on Computers, but with XI it will not work without Flashplayer,
It will never work with computer without Flashplayer installed or on any Android or iOS.
If you implement it, you must have first no-one-needs-it curly effect, and after it is done change to another page where with a page action will run a movie. But this will not work with many users.
Why do you want to have this effect, if you know that a lot of users will not able to see it? Even yourself will experience problems, when you try it on a different computer which has a different capability.

Adding movies to Indesign automated page-curl swf export

I know there have been several discussions on this, but I thought I would ask the question anyway.
I have a magazine created in InDesign, I can add hyperlinks to pages and websites and export it as a nice swf file with a page curl transition. The problem seems to be when anyone wants to edit the Flash file (.xfl), they loose the nice smooth page curl transition, is there no way this can be moved to Flash easily (bear in mind my knowledge of Action script is limited).
Any help would be much appreciated.

See this Help topic. From InDesign CS4, you have two ways to create Flash files -- SWF and XFL. If you export to SWF, you can include page curls, hyperlinks, transitions, and navigation buttons. If you export to XFL, you lose any button, hyperlink, or transition you've added in InDesign, and you use Flash Pro to add those things along with fancier animation effects. If you export to SWF, you can't edit the file. If you export to XFL, you have to know Flash Pro well enough to edit the file.

InDesign: Creating interactive PDFs with Page Turn and Flash animations | CSInsider | Design | Adobe TV

This episode gives an answer to a question Rufus hears very frequently: "Can I have page turns and animations created in Adobe InDesign in a PDF?" - The answer is yes. Find out how.
http://adobe.ly/wmHCbl

Not an expert, but would think you still get 508 compliance by the normal PDF reader controls -- the page curls are visual extras only.
I understand these 'techniques' perfectly -- but they sure seem awkward.
- why doesn't InDesign properly emit the combination page turner PDF in one step?
- why doesnt InDesign show the actual background of the embedded Flash animation as it will be, and why doesn't it allow you to set background transparency right there in InDesign, again showing you what the result will be?
I hope this is done in such a straightforward and clear way, in InDesign CS6.

How to Create Page Curl Transitions

Im currently using Acrobat 9 and the Adobe CS4 creative suite on a PC. This is my situation.
I'm creating an interactive PDF (links, text anchors, videos, hyperlinks, rollovers, etc...) Creating this original file in Indesign (because it is based on our printed literature) Then using the new CS4 features and exporting to PDF.
We are sending these files to surgeon, agents, reps, etc... on CDs to use. They are not the most high tech/compter savy people, enhance using the PDF over the easier format SWF to do this task.
When I export to PDF the page trastion in IDCS4 no long works (since is it SWF based)
When I open Acrobat 9 Pro to create the page transition it is not an option. You get the typical blinds, combs, wipes, etc...
Is there a way to create a page curl in Acrobat 9 Pro?? Maybe a plug in or an added feature or maybe somewhere/somehow I don't know in the program??
Thank you!!!!
Jenna

I've never heard of anything for Acrobat that will help acieve a PDF page curl. Most of them I've seen are flash based rather than PDF. Acrobat only has the transitions (that you've already found).
Maybe a third party application. I know this one is somewhat popular: http://pageflip.hu/
Edit: And as with all flash based items, I would suggest giving them a normal PDF as an alternative.

Anyone else seeing the page-curl bug I just reported to Apple?

Here's the bug:
If you import AVCHD footage into iMovie (or even a screen recording made in QuickTime Player) in "Large" (not full size), the page-curl transition will corrupt when iMovie tries to play it back at the original footage's size or larger (i.e.,the effect will corrupt if you have the editing sub-window showing fairly large in the main editing window, or if you use full-screen playback, or you export the final project in a large size, such as 720p, to iTunes). This doesn't seem to affect footage shot with a Mac's iSight camera.
What will happen is, in, say, a 25-frame-long page curl (either right or left), roughly Frames 5, 6, and 7 will show plain dark gray, where they're supposed to be showing those frames of the first clip in the transition.
I've been able to reproduce this bug in iMovie 9.0.7 and 9.0.6, on both a late 2009 iMac i7 and late 2009 13" MacBook Pro. My AppleCare Senior iMovie technician was able to reproduce this on both a 2010 and 2011 21" iMac. (I wonder if this also appears in Final Cut Pro?)
I first noticed this when I upgraded my OS from Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) directly to Mountain Lion (now running 10.8.1), as Mountain Lion "broke" every single page curl in every single project I'd made in iMovie (which had worked fine until then) over the last two years. I don't know if this bug was introduced in Lion, since I skipped that OS. Anyone out there know/care to run a test?
The AppleCare tech told me that the chance of this bug's getting fixed depends, in part, upon the volume of users like you who report it to Apple (at www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html), and here on the boards.
So chime in (here, and at the feedback link above) if you have any observations to add. Thanks!

I saw something that appears to be possible curl corruption today in:
curl 7.21.4 (universal-apple-darwin11.0) libcurl/7.21.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.5.
It stopped outputting the response content 9 characters before the end of the endline-less response and started spitting out a long string of characters that were based on the next thing it was trying to output which was the prompt:

Having trouble having both an interactive form and an interactive page curl in a pdf?

Okay, so I need an interactive pdf with a page curl AND an interactive form. I exported my Indesign file as a swf file with the interactive page curl, (which the interactive form doesn't work on), then I imported the swf file back into Indesign, opened the media tab and chose the option to 'open file on current page' so that when I open the pdf it doesn't ask me to activate the file before use, and then export as an interactive pdf. the interactive page curl works perfectly, but the form doesn't work. How do I put an Indesign form into my interactive pdf?

Hi Enrico,
If I understand correctly, you are calling the addInstance() on click of the button that you placed in your form and when you add more pages using this button and save the fikle and open it again, the newly added instances are not displayed in the form. Am I right?
If this is the scenario, the you need to store the value of the forms created using this button and call the same addInstance() method in the initialize event of your form. I.e place the same code that is there in click event of the button inside the Initialize event of the form with the number that we have saved in some hidden field.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Cheers,
Arafat

Very slow page curls in a PDF

I am creating an interactive pdf. I created the swf file, imported it into indesign (CS6) and exporting as an interactive pdf. My pdf is simple, it only contains page curls but they are very slow! No where near as fast as the swf file when viewed in a web browser. Why? And what is the solution?

You're using a hack by running SWF inside PDF. There is no solution unless you just use the SWF file by itself.
And what's the value of the page curl anyway. It's a way overused effect.

Is there a page curl transition for iBooks Author?

Does anyone know why there isn't a page curl transition for books created in iBooks Author? There should also be a flipboard transition available as well.

It seems the Apple Pages app exports to the ePub format. This is what some may be looking for.
If one wishes to proof on Touch or iPhone, or if one wants the page curl effect, look into Pages and iTunes. Here is the link I found.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT8XeNQCsP4
To be clear, this is a step back from what iBooks Author provides overall. But, in my case, it's what the kids wanted.

How do I get top of page curl (IDCS4 to SWF doc) to show when inserted into DW?

Is there a way to get the top & bottom of page curls to show on my web page the way they do in the html preview? (With a transparant efffect?) I've attached the SWf file, if that helps.
Thanx in advance for any advice.

Hey, well thanks for responding.... but, if ANY other people who are novice web designers want to find out the answer to what, apparently, is a dumb question, a point in the right direction would be nice. Even if it was only a few people checking back to see if an answer was there, it means they want to know how - just as badly as I do.
So, anyways, if you want to know how to make a page curl show up in your DW site, the answer isn't within DW, but somewhere else, correct?
Thanks, for your time, BTW.

Re:DW8 flash on template page not shows flash

Hi Murray,
When I changed it to relative nothing changed, the .dwt works

Make the link to your Flash file be a root relative one.
