PDF files in edge animate

Is there a way to load a PDF file into a symbol on the stage that does not require an internet connection?

Here is a simple example using an iFrame - sample just loads a .pdf file into an element, using required parameters as per Acrobat documentation
View: http://www.heathrowe.com/edge/embed_pdf/
Dl: http://www.heathrowe.com/edge/embed_pdf/embed_pdf.zip
Once downloaded open .an file in Animate and go to the Stage > CompositionReady event handler. You will see a use case to load a pdf file from your drive. In my example the source file (src) is relative to the root (Edge Animate) document. In other in the sample folder as the edge .html file.

How do you make a button download pdf file in edge animate?

Hi does anyone know the code or know how to make a download button in edge animate, that when you click the button it will fetch a pdf file from your pc root folder and offer it to download.

Hi Wayne,
To make a button download a PDF, you'll have to upload your PDF somewhere online and add the link to your button in Animate using the Open URL button in the actions popup.
Here's a good tutorial which will get you started with some of the basics of Animate, including how to create buttons. The link on your button would just be the URL of your PDF.
Cheers,
Sarah

How do I edit a .swf file in edge animate? How do I save it as a swf file?

Hello, I need to edit the actionscript in a swf animation file. How do you do that with Edge animate?

There is no such workflow for swf files.
Edge animate only understands html, javascript. SWF files are alien to it.
You should be using Flash Professional CC, for generating the swf files.

Can we create a single exe file in edge animate

Hi everyone,
I am working on an animation in Adobe Edge Animate. The code written in the file is working fine on the browser. The problem that I am facing is to create an exe file (a single file) in which i can see my animation and controls created. Something like flash's projector file which comes in exe fomat. My client is looking for the output in which he wants the animation in Html5 and there could be a single file to run. There shouldn't be images folder or j-query files, just a single file. Please tell me any tool or way, so that i can get the same output in exe format.
Please help me out in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Vikas Sharma

Adding captions to video file in edge animate

Any ideas if this is possible? Thanks to heathrowe I have been able to add video to my project but I also need to add text to accompany it (think captions or subtitles). I currently have text appearing and reappearing but it is independent to the video timeline, so if a viewer skips the video the captions do not reappear. Any thoughts or workarounds would be massively helpful as i am very new to edge but eager to do some great motion design

Hi Jakey,
Have you cracked this?
I think I'm pretty close using a plugin called bubbles.js
I've got the plugin working here.
However when I attempt to install the plugin within edge by placing the following code on the stage compositionReady action it's not working. The function seems to be called, however according to the web inspector the english.srt subtitle file isn't being downloaded, any ideas?
Code:
var vid = $("<video width='640' height='360' id='video-srt' controls=''>" +
   "<source src='test.mp4' type='video/mp4' />" +
   "<source src='http://www.w3schools.com/html5/movie.ogg' type='video/ogg' />" +
   "This browser is not compatible with HTML 5" +
"</video>");
$.getScript("js/bubbles.js", function() {
                    subtitles_test = new Bubbles.video('video-srt');
                    subtitles_test.subtitles( false,
                                        'English' :          {
                                                  language          :          'English',
                                                  file                    :          'subs/english.srt'
sym.$("vcontainer").append(vid);

PDF Reader in Edge

Can we place a PDF reader in Edge? I'm building a portfolio site and would rather use a PDF reader than links to existing documents

Adobe Edge Animate CC crashes when using big SVG images

Hi!
When I import SVG files to Edge Animate it freezes and I can't do something with that.
I tried to import one file at a time and it worked fine but when I save project and close program and then open my project again Edge Animate just crashes.
Also I tried to import very small images (100px x 100px) and then scale them to size I need and it causing app crash too.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.4

I already found cause of this problem.
When you import SVG to Edge Animate it gives your SVG width and height 10 times more then original size of image and transform: scale(0.1). So when you import 5 SVG images 500x500 Adobe Edge makes them 5000x5000.
So that's cause app freezing and bad SVG displaying in browsers.
Always change scale(0.1) to scale(1) and reduce size from 5000px to 500px for example.
Best regards,
Alexey Prilovski.

I've built a header/nav bar, for a website I'm designing, in Edge Animate but when I click on one of the links it opens the URL in the header/nav bar and not the whole web page? How do I fix this so the links open the URL when click on the whole page?

I'm designing the website in Adobe Muse, using the .OAM file from Edge Animate. Please help.

Sounds like you may need to set the target url to _parent

Problem uploading video to edge animate

I am trying to add a video to my Edge Animate project, but every time I complete the process, it doesn't show up in the library. Here is the process I follow:
1. In the library panel, I click the + sign next to the video tab
2. The browse dialog box pops up and I find the video and double click it to add it to the Edge Animate library
3. Edge Animate pauses for a second, then appears to be ready to continue, but the video never shows up in the library
The movie was created in Premiere Pro. I exported it as an H.264 high def movie. The file is 760 MB. The title of the movie is Yellowstone.mp4.
I am able to upload other movies which are the same H.264 codec with the .mp4 extension.
Is there a size limit on video files for Edge Animate?

When you add any Video to the animate project, the video gets copied from the location you selected to the Edge composition folder.
As your video is very large-sized, it takes quite a time to copy it. And if copying fails internally, then it won't show in the library.
Workaround:
     First save the composition somewhere.
     And then manually, copy all such large-sized videos to the composition's media folder.
     Then automatically it will show under Vidoe Library.

Include an interactive Youtube player in Edge Animate - Not working properly!

Hi folks!
I am working on a new project which is based on a interactive web video.
In the Edge Animate proyect I have implemented a Youtube fullscreen player which has interactivity. On the one side, in the Edge project I have included a JS which contains the definition of the Youtube player API and all its functions in order to enable the interactivity. On the other side, in the HTML which creates Edge Animate I have included the div for the player and some buttons to play and stop the Youtube video.
When I launch the website using Edge Animate everything works fine, but when I open the HTML file without Edge Animate, the Youtube player is not being defined (the player div is empty). I think the problem may be related to the external JS file in the Edge project.
I don't recognise why this external JS with the Youtube functions only load when it is launched from the Edge Animation app.
My aim is to load this project as a OAM file at the end in Wordpress with the Youtube player and its interactivity included.
Need help for this issue! Does some know how to fix it?
Conclusion:
Fullscreen animation with Youtube Player as background with some buttons in the HTML project file to play and stop the youtube video. Youtube API functions inside an external JS file and included in the Edge Animate project. Only works when the animation is launched with Edge Animate. If the HTML file is open directly, Youtube player is empty.
PD: I have attached some images in order to offer a clearer vision of this problem.

Actually yes...!
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND file://www.youtube.com/player_api
But why only when opening the HTML directly...?
There is another error...maybe this is the problem source:
Uncaught SecurityError: Blocked a frame with origin "https://www.youtube.com" from accessing a frame with origin "http://localhost:54321". The frame requesting access has a protocol of "https", the frame being accessed has a protocol of "http". Protocols must match.

Edge Animate CC

salve, io dovrei realizzare un animazione con Edge Animate CC, volevo sapere se era possibile muovere un ogetto e quando ha finito la sua azione farlo sparire e inserirle un altro. Es faccio muovere un triangolo e dopo devo render invisibile il triangolo e far muovere un quadrato però senza che si noti il distacco

No but it is simple:
create animation in Fireworks
download and install John's plugin in Fireworks get it here: http://johndunning.com/fireworks/mxp/EdgeAnimate
instructions from John's website:
When you run the Edge Animate > Export to Edge command, it will ask you to pick a folder to which the Fireworks document will be exported. The name of the current document is used to name the Edge files.
The last-used export folder is remembered across invocations, so the next time you run the command, it will re-export the files to the same folder. To export an already exported Fireworks document to a new location, run the Change Export Folder command. This command opens a folder selection dialog where you can select a new folder and then immediately exports the Edge files.
Note that exporting a Fireworks document to a folder that already contains Edge files will completely replace those files. You will lose any changes you had made to the files in Edge Animate. Any existing images in the images/ sub-folder will also be deleted, so be careful about using the command on existing Edge documents.
When you open the Animate file you will have all png files in layers with display on and off. This is what creates the animation,

creare animazione in Fireworks
scaricare e installare su John plugin in Fireworks scaricalo qui:http://johndunning.com/Fireworks/MXP/EdgeAnimate
istruzioni dal sito Web di John:
Quando si esegue il Edge Animate > esportare a bordo comando, ti chiederà di scegliere una cartella in cui verrà esportato il documento di Fireworks. Il nome del documento corrente viene utilizzato per denominare i file di bordo.
La cartella di esportazione ultimo utilizzato è ricordata attraverso le chiamate, così la prossima volta che si esegue il comando, ri-esportare i file nella stessa cartella. Per esportare un documento Fireworks già esportato in una nuova posizione, eseguire il comando Modifica cartella di esportazione . Questo comando apre una finestra di selezione cartella, dove si può selezionare una nuova cartella e quindi immediatamente esporta i file di bordo.
Si noti che l'esportazione di un documento di Fireworks in una cartella che contiene già i file Edge sostituiranno completamente quei file. Perderai tutte le modifiche apportate ai file in Edge Animate. Tutte le immagini esistenti nellaimages/sub-cartella verranno eliminate anche, quindi fate attenzione sull'utilizzo del comando sui documenti di bordo esistenti.
Quando si apre il file Animate avrete tutti i file png in layers con display on e off. Questo è ciò che crea l'animazione,
Si può anche verificare l'utilizzo di sprite in Animate qui:

Edge Animate backwards compatible with preview?

Hi,
I have a website developed from when Edge was running as Preview release.
Will I be able to continue working on this file with Edge Animate?
Regards,
Joe

Hi!
OK sameish problem - Old Edge project in version: "1.5.0", (that's what it says in the XXX._edge.js file).
I created this project while I was using whatever that version of edge preview that was.
I upgraded to CC recently opened that project and saved a copy elsewhere. The result is, it's trashed to the point of a total RE-DO. I really want to salvage it!

. . . If you have resaved your files with the latest version every time we've released a preview, you should be fine. . . .
-Elaine
Ok I did NOT do that. - I did it in 1.5.0 and left it there.
Now can I download the old version to save that out as Elaine suggests would result in a working copy of my project in CC? If so where?
Thoughts on a solution?

How do I use an Edge Animate project with SVG files in InDesign for DPS output?

Is there any way to include an Edge Animate web content using .svg files in InDesign for output to DPS?
Edge Animate works great with InDesign, except for when you're using SVG files. I've worked with SVG files on the web successfully (writing .htaccess files and such), but it seems like InDesign doesn't like them.
This is pretty important because I don't want to have to design multiple renditions on the DPS suite. Currently I have it setup as a PDF format (DPS) and that scales all of the vector-based type perfectly. It would be wonderful if the animations could also be in a vector format so that when the iPad (3) users see the designs, they will scale naturally through the PDF framework.
Any advice would be invaluable.
Thanks!

moved to the DPS forum....
