Scrollable Frames canceled out by video on page

I had wired up a scrollable frame (tab) at the bottom of my page. Tested and everything works fab. I added a layer above this scrollable area and dropped several video clips into the layout. Those clips are part of the main page content.
As soon as I did this, the container and the scrollable content placed into that container doesn't render when the file is Published/tested. It fails on both Desktop and iPad Viewer.
If I hide the layers contain the video clips the scrollable frame content returns and works just fine. Is this a known issue that video even being present on the same page kills scrollable content?
New to using scrollable frames along side video content, and I haven't tried the myriad of hacks to get it to work. Want to start with the obvious questions... should this work?
Thanks
Steve

I've made some progress, and have also made some odd discoveries.
So, I was able to make the MSO work - but it doesn't work consistently. I went back to the original approach of putting the tab on the first state, and the videos on the next 3 states, This way the tab starts things off, and as soon as someone taps the invisible buttons to jump to any video, those videos play fullscreen.
The trick is a tap to return to the first state where you are then able to drag the tab (scrollable frame) up. It might trip a few users, but is a trade off, where most people will just try to drag it again and will have success. Acceptable for this secondary content.
This page is the last page in a 9 page stack. When I "Preview" the page on Desktop or direct to iPad. the page loads up by itself and everything works great!
However, when I upload the whole article/stack to the DPS server, and download it. I of course have to swipe down from page 1. When I arrive on page 9, the videos work just fine, but the tab is gone on the first state. It doesn't render at all.
Once you click to a video, you see the "dummy" tab appear on those other states. Clicking in that place holder area to return to the first state where the tab should be removes the "dummy" tab, and the actual tab doesn't render.
As you can imagine - this is maddening!
Thoughts I have... could something on the other pages be messing it up? Possibly, but every page in the rest of the article have static content, and 1 scrollable frames. No other videos OR multistates. And all the other scrollable frames work 100% of the time.
Is there a limit to the number of scrollable areas and I've hit it? I'm going to start trashing pages one at a time to see if I strike a nerve. But I'm grasping at straws.
If you think of something, all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Steve

Scrollable frame in PDF-based folio prevents page swipe

Can someone confirm for me that scrollable frames in a PDF-based folio prevent one from being able to use that area to swipe to the next page?
Thanks,

I confirm too.
We publish a weekly magazine for iPad2 and iPad3.
iPad2 folio is a jpg one, and we use pdf format for iPad3.
Scrollable full page contents work fine on iPad2 but prevent swiping on iPad3.
Our solution: creating "cold zones" on the edges of the pages using buttons (setting them "navto://nowhere"). I think it's the simpliest way to make it work.

Video nested into scrollable frame

hi everyone...in past versions of dps tools, i can made a scrollable frame with photos and video in one group into the scrollable frame ..now i can't (the folio overlay option is not activate)....do you know why? or how can i make that now? is for the v29 dps tools?
thanks

Hi Bob -- I just encountered this bug. I wanted to paste a set of images and a video in a scrolling frame, which as discussed in January, doesn't work anymore. I'm in v30. Have they fixed this? What I had to do was make 2 sets. One group of images and one group of images and the video. Pasted just the images, set up the scroll, then deleted them and pasted in the second set with the video. Ack! Any better way? Thanks, Beth

Scrollable Frames lagging

I am having trouble with images within scrollable frames. They are taking a while to load and appear white until fully loaded. The images are at the lowest res/size possible already.. Is there anything else I can do to help it load faster?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using Folio Builder 12.3.3, Indesign5.5. Mac.
I laid out several pages using the same scrollable frames but out of those about 30%does not function properly. These are simple scrollable frame with a vertical action and I did everything by the book--dimensions and all. I also tried tagging the elements in the Layers panel but had no result. These 30% were working just fine before but as I upload it again and again due to adjustments, it got stuck. My last resort is to create the articles again from scratch but then I may never know what the problem was.

Problem with V19 Scrollable Frame

I have a magazine that worked find on V18 of producer tools, since I upgraded to V19 I am having ptoblems.
I have a standard page size 2048x1536 (iPad 3), and I have the whole page set as a scrollable frame with a background placed behind it. Then all my content for the page is pasted into the scrollable frame which runs much lower than the 2048 page length. You can then scroll the page within the scrollable frame rather than having a long page to scroll down. This also creates a nice layering effect where the content moves on top of a static background.
This worked fine for me on V18 producer tools, but now when I load my magazine onto my iPad, I'm scrolling through articles and when I hit the page with the scrollable frame you can no longer scroll left or right and you're stuck on the page...
Any idea how I can fix this as I have a client that has seen and likes the layering effect? Last thing I want to do is have to remove it and just make a long page.

Which totally sucks, BTW.
If you use JPG or PNG then it works but you lose the razor sharp text and pinch and zoom that PDF provides.
I really don't get this one, either. Especially since the scrollable frames option gives you the ability to make it vertical only. That should eliminate any "confusion" as to which way to you want to scroll and which way you want to swipe.

Can't swipe to next article on scrollable frame?

Hi,
I'm not sure what's happening here. I've got a page with a scrolling frame which covers the whole page, frame is set to scrolling, scroll direction is vertical only. I've just updated some of the scrollabe content and now when I view on iPad I can't swipe to the next article, the swipe to next article worked fine yesterday, all content and links work OK I just can't get off the page now... any suggestions?

So Okay,
Excuse the lame design (only 10 minutes of my lunch break left)
So I quickly mocked up a 768x1024 doc (Horizontal)
Made a Scrollable frame 732x952px to sit on the page bleed at the bottom and within left and right margins
Created 4000px Deep worth of fake content (Grouped and pasted into the scrolling frame)
Set to vertical scroll only
Popped a stickly overlay on top and a background image underneath
All in seperate layers.
Imported as a PNG article
and here are the results.
All images are screen grabs and the last demonstrates that even with a scrolling frame this long - if you import as png you can still horizontally swipe off it
All's good!

Mandatory field validation error occurs when user cancels out of blank "cre

Hi - I'm building an application using Oracle 10g 9.0.5.2, with ADF/UIX/Struts.
I followed the technique described in the tutorial
http://otn.oracle.com/obe/obe9051jdev/uixtutorial/lesson_uix.htm
In that example they have a page called BrowseDeptEmp. On this page is a
create button, which is linked to a /createEmpAction before displaying the
FormEmp uix page, where the user is supposed to enter new employee data.
So I did the same thing, but I added a cancel button on the FormEmp.uix page.
If the user presses cancel on the FormEmp page, it goes through a 'rollback' DataAction (with a rollback operation dragged on it) and then back
to the main page.
here's my problem:
If the user
1. clicks the create button on the BrowseDeptEmp page
2. Sees the blank form in the FormEmp page
3. Changes his mind (does not want to add a new employee) and clicks cancel
The FormEmp page displays validation errors on the fields that are mandatory in the DB! So the user
can't cancel out of the create page unless he fills in the mandatory fields...!!
How do I cancel out of a create page 1) without entering any data on the page and 2) without getting
mandatory field validation messages?
It must be simple but i can't figure it out....
Please help :)
Thanks
Des

I don't understand how this can happen if the user has not entered any data.
Is there a commit action somewhere that is being triggered before the rollback?
is your cancel button a submit button?
one way to fix this is to convert the submit button into a
regular button and have the regular button go directly to your DataAction (the one with the rollback).
you can automatically create this button by drawing a pageLink from the page to the DataAction in the page flow diagram.

Buttons underneath a Scrollable Frame

Hi,
Is it possible to have object states/buttons underneath a scrollable frame?
I want a title page that is swiped to the side revealing buttons underneath...
Visually I can set it up, but as soon as you've swiped the title page to the side you can see the buttons but can't touch them.
Any work arounds?
Thanks.

This is normal, the interactive overlays will respect their layered order. Especially If you cover another object completely as with your scrollable frame.
Why not add the buttons to the left or right of your title page design and group it as one object that is then cut and pasted-into your scroll region. That way when you swipe away the title page it brings the buttons into view.

Trouble nesting video in scrollable frame

Hi I'm having trouble getting a video into a scrollable frame. I am using a scrollable frame to make a pull out tab on my page. When I cut and paste the video and a tab into the container frame the only folio overlay option i am given is video, it will not let me make the frame scrollable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can get around this by creating a scrollable frame with dummy content.
Delete all the content after setting the scrollable frame options and then
pasting the video in.BUT
You may want to rethink this by using an MSO instead. AFAIC, using a
scrollable frame for this is not a great idea and can, depending upon the
size of the scrollable area, interfere with the navigation to the next
article or page.

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

Scrollable frame prevents swipe to next page

Hello
Does anybody else find when they create a PDF format for the iPad that scrollable frames don't work as well as in auto format.
I have placed a large scrollable frame which takes up 3/4 of my page. When I swipe to the next page the scrollable frame wont let me swipe?
Cheers

bugs and behaviour like this is a suspicious sign of a wrong architecture,
too many cooks/programmers ruining the menu (a German spoke word), or
incomplete testing.
DPS is a massive complex system.but for these, data models and information
architecture are critical to success.
I see movement at adobe here. there are more and more people from adobe
responding to problems, actually engineering on these forums and more
concise product management. one can feel that.
but sometimes, these "funny" things happen... they don't matter to the big
publishers still on sprint 15 or enterprise level publishers with their own
track if DPS (visible in the cryptic version number for the WIRED reader
and others).
but they matter to the designers, makers, thinkers and people on the
bleeding edge of DPS actually trying to produce stuff and stumble upon
these things.

"Failed to return a video frame: Cancelling the operation"

I get this error after a few minutes when I try to export an MPEG-2 from Premiere CS3. Hundreds of other people seem to have the same issue, confirms Google, but I have yet to find a solution! Anyone?
Cheers!

Herbie747,
After working through the tips provided by John, look at your Timeline very closely for gaps. When there is a "Failed to return... " error, it is most often associated with gaps (even one frame gaps) in the video. I zoom in to the "frame level" and step through the entire Timeline. If you use the PageUp/PageDown keys, you should see a smooth flow from Clip to Clip. If you get "pause," a "skip" or a "hesitation," you have probably found your gap.
Good luck,
Hunt

Pullout sidebar help! When hidden the scrollable frame blocks interactive content beneath it.

Ok, I feel like this is one of those things that has a really easy answer and I'm just missing it but I have been kicking it around for a few weeks and can't come up with anything.
Really basic problem: I have a pull out sidebar for my app as a scrollable frame and it works fine. It is the top layer of course because it has to always be available from any part of the app.
The issue, as I said in the title, is that even when the sidebar is hidden and you can only see the pullout tab, the entire scrollable frame is still invisibly blocking all interactive content beneath it. So for example any buttons on that side of the app arent clickable, no video controlls, etc etc. Anytime you click on that side of the app it thinks you are trying to manipulate the scroll frame.
I don't know what to do!
Thank you for any ideas.

Redesign the page. That's simply how it works. The entire space of the frame is always live.
Try dragging in the middle where there's no content and you'll see that the content still scrolls.

Scrollable frames. Buttons not working.

Hello.
I have a problem with buttons in the scrollable frames.
I have a slideshow with a thumb's. Each thumb consist of MSO (non active icon and active icon) and clear frame - button to that MSO and to slide foto. The thumb's grouped and placed into the frame with horizontal scroll overlay effect.
That frame placed into another frame-pull out tab, which have vertical scroll effect. And when I pressed the button, slide fotos changes correctly, but button MSO not working.
See files from dropbox -- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rsbf1jto3a39jug/IVcQxaYJOW
Sorry for my english. I need help very much.
Thanks.

Hi,
I understand that I can use two 'states' of the buttons. And I tried it. But. Buttons renditions are raster images. And on the retina display we had bad quality. My target was to create vector buttons. With good quality on both displays.
Any suggestions?

Hi (again),
It seems that you built your stuff in a very complicated way.
First, try to make simple!
You mixed MSO and buttons functions. Useless and unfonctional.
Yous should use only button panel, with two different 'states' ('Normal' and 'Clic').
See below (no MSO function used at all for the button):

Use the layer panel to easily select the objects you want to modify.
