Creating Scrollable text frames in InDesign

I've been trying to create scrollable text frames in InDesign CS6 and, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to do so for an interactive PDF.
I've done so for touchscreen devices before through DPS and the scrollable frame option, but I've never tried to do it for something non-touchscreen/mobile. I don't even know if it's possible, but I am sending this to someone who may not have touchscreen access with touchscreen scroll functionality and I wouldn't want to risk a good portion of text to go unread because of a lack-of functionality.
So, I guess my question is: Is there a way to create a scrollable text field for an interactive PDF that could be scrolled through using a mouse or keyboard?
Thanks in advance!

No. It's DPS only.

Multi-state scrollable text frames

I've created a multi-state object with 5 different articles the problem I seem to be having is after scrolling half way down on one and switching to another it remains half way down the scrollable frame. Is there a way to have it return to the top of each state when switching between the states ?

Sorry for the misplacement,
I'm making a portfolio and have 5 separate projects to display, I was hoping to display them on one page with 5 separate buttons allowing the viewer to switch between them seamlessly than to have them on 5 separate pages.
I've got the desired effect thus far using 5 scrollable text frames combined into one multi-state object but switching between states keeps it relative to where the person was in the last state. Due to some articles being smaller vertically than others this can be a problem as it shows up blank which will probably create an impression of the information being non existent or the program not working.
I would appreciate any help on resetting the state to the upper left between changes and not just on the initial opening, or any alternative methods that would create the desired effect.

Is a scrollable text frame possible with hyperlinks embedded in the text?

I'm new to this whole digital design world. I have a document set up with several links, some active buttons and I am struggling with this scrollable text frame. I have the frame finally working but it only scrolls from the preview button in the overlay creator panel. From the Preview Window, preview on the Internet, or exported as a SWF everything but the scrolling frame. Anyone have any suggestions??

You can, but it's not very elegant. For one thing, whatever text you have will have to basically be on another webpage addressable by URL in the iframes expression. I guess it would work, though. It's just like having two pages, where maybe one would suffice, you know?
There are some javascript examples that I have come across that would probably work. The HTML tags seem to be unreliable....I have seen some that only work on IE and not for the mozilla based browsers.
Anyways, here's an example of a scrolling iframe....it's the messageboard from my Guestmap...

As you can see...it's not great, but it's workable.

Hyperlinks, scrollable text frames, and Multistate objects

I have a DPS layout with a scrollable text frame on one side, and a multistate object (MSO) on the other. I want to be able to hyperlink parts of the text in the text frame to specific states in the MSO. How do I do this?

Scrollable text frames

when i go to preview my iPad app that I am designing with Adobe inDesign CC using digital publishing, it gets rid of my scrollable text frames??

One thread is enough. I'm locking this.

Scrollable Text Frame bug?

Hello fellow DPS users,
I seem to have activated a weird bug with the Scrollable Text Frame but I hope I can solve it with your help.
I've tried everything I can think of already but without good success.
Here is the problem. I have a page that looks like this:
So this is how it should look like and how it does look like. The red square in the left upper corner with the white text is actually a scrollable text frame which you can pull down to get more text within a white square. The problem is, the text is above the red square and I want it to come down when you pull. So I can't set the "Initial Content Position" to "Upper Left". That's why I'm using "Use Document Position". But for it to show like I want (like in the image above) my InDesign document looks like this:
No problem, you think, I solved it. Well, not exactly. Since when I go to the real thing and test it, it initially looks good, but when I go into story view I get this:
So in story view it still shows the exact position like in the InDesign document... But in the page itself it does show well. The real problem though, is that it doesn't use the exact document position but apparantly 10 to 20 pixels below it. So it actually shows incorrectly in the page, and in story view it shows the real thing.
Can anyone help me? Is this a known issue or am I forgetting something?
Thanks, Julien.

Well here is an update: In stead of pulling the red square down and using the "Use Document Position" as a starting position, I tried pulling it up so I CAN use the "Upper Left" for starting position.
It works like a charm, but still I rather want to pull down. But now I at least know it's the "Use Document Position" that's not working correctly.
Anyone know a workaround? Or else Adobe can put it on their todo list
Another thing for Adobe Developers to put on their todo list if they happen to read this:
If you upload your own table of contents preview you cannot undo this.
And you cannot upload your own storyview previews.
Maybe for in the future

How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,

Hi Friends,
How to access the Text Frame, when we use scrollable frame,
Thank you,
[ Nav ]

That's the same question:
how can I access something (a page item) on a page…
Answer: you need something unique in that object you can get a handle on.
Or you use the selection a user of your script is doing and work with that selection…
A "scrollable frame" is nothing special. What it makes it a "scrollable frame" is the DPS software.
So you have to look for attached labels on the object, that identify the object for the PDS plug-in "Overlay Creator" as a "scrollable frame". That's possible with the "extractLabel("KeyString")" function. But you need to know the appropriate key-string in advance.
In another of your thread in the DPS forum, I basically answered the question how to obtain those key-strings.
When knowing the key-string you could loop through all your page items (you can skip all text frames) in the allPageItems-collection, to identify the "scrollable frame" by extracting the right label.
If you have more than one "scollable frames" you need a second unique identifier for the particular object.
That could be nearly any property.
Keep in mind, there is no "scrollableFrames" collection in the DOM !

Preview and scrollable text problems

Is anyone else having problems getting the scrollable text function to work in an overlay to a fixed layout ePub? I have the latest version of InDesign CC, purchased last week.
Here is a picture of my file. As you can see, it's pretty darn simple. Content box is on the right. You can't see the entire box but It is long enough to fit all of my text. On the left, I created a container box, wider but shorter than the content box. I then selected the content and used Paste Into to put the content into the container. Next, I selected the container, went to Folio Overlays, and I designated the content box as vertical scrolling, start at upper left, and Vector format. But when when I tried to preview it (more on preview problems in a minute), the container appears as a simple text box with no scrolling capability. I've asked the Adobe help people and they don't seem to have any ideas yet.
As far as preview goes, well, I can export to Adobe Digital Editions or I can look at the page in Window/Interactive/EPUB Interactivity Preview. But File/Folio Preview just processes the page and then returns nothing. And the same thing happens when I hit Preview in the Folio Overlays panel.
I'd love to know if this is unique to my system or a common problem. Since I only purchased CC to produce annotated books, there is not much I can do without it. And if CC doesn't do it, does anyone have a suggestion for something a non-programmer could use to get the same result?
Thanks for any help.

Scrollable frames are a DPS -- Digital Publishing Suite-- function (as are all other effects from the Folio Overlay panel). Those are a different beast than Fixed-Layout EPUBs.
For fixed-layout, all interactivity is supported (any panel in the Windows > Interactive flyout) except for Forms, Page Transitions, and the two Animation presets Smoke and Blur. Note that the panels Folio Builder and Folio Overlays are not part of the Interactive group of panels.
I know it's very confusing!
If you're trying to create an *app* then you use DPS, and you should be asking this question in the DPS forum.
Digital Publishing Suite
If you're trying to create an *ebook* then this is the forum to post in.

How do you print a scrollable input frame?

Hello,
I am working on a mac and using InDesign CC 2014 and Acrobat XI Pro.
I have created an interactive form in InDesign and exported it as a interactive PDF. I have created scrollable input frames. Great for input, and on the screen in general, but when printing, only the visible window gets printed.
Is there an action I can add to the scrollable input frame that will tell acrobat to print all content in this frame. For instance is there an action that tells the field to grow in length only in the printout? I don't want to make the field bigger or the font smaller in the pdf form itself.
Thank you for your advice,
Kristy

Presumably you have created a text frame and ticked the scrollable box so that the form user can add more text than appears in the size of the frame.
I don't think it can me made so that the user can print out all the text as you describe.

Scrollable Text

Hope somebody can help...
I've got scrollable text in my movie, and at one point i need
to have a white filled rectange cover it up so that it is not
visible. Unfortunatly the actual scrollbar always shows through
even though the text itelf is covered.
Anyone?

Yes, the default scroll control for a text sprite is always
Direct to
Stage, and so it shines through. You can create your own
scroll bar,
or, you could change the text member's frame property from
"scrolling"
to "fixed" when you want to hide the scroll bar and then back
to
"scrolling" when you want to show it again.

SCROLLABLE TEXT PROB;EM NOT WORKING

I am having problems with the scrollable text. I placed a big jpeg image. I want to create a scrollable text on that so I made a layer for that. Even I went to paste and board through preference pannel and changed to 1024pixels for the horizontal version. Now I put the text on the past board and with the same name I also created a layer of Caontainer wher I made a box on Indseign active board and put this layer where I created the frame with the same name. Now when I save and go to the preview folio my scrollable text does not work.
Do I have to do some thing in overlays or any thing in In Design

To answer to your first two questions: If I'm understanding you, you are correct. The 7 page magazine would have to all be in the same folio in the Folio Builder. Creating a new folio in the Folio Builder would create another project.
To import multiple articles, each InDesign file should be in its own folder. Those folders should then all be in one folder called simply called "folio" (when naming files and folders, the simpler the better).
I don't know what you mean by TOC images.
It sounds like you need to do some research and read up on the basics.
This website has some very good information: https://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/topics.html
I hope this helps.

Scrollable text box and MSO

Can you have scrollable text with a tinted colour frame beneath it that sits on top of a MSO slide show?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply. Attached is a screen grab of the sort of theing I'm trying to do. The text bottom right is a scrollabel frame, and the background image is a slide show. When I preview it on the ipad, the background slideshow works, green coloured background to the text box and the graphics dissapper, but the scrollable text stays.
Any Help?

Scrollable Text Area

Hi, I have inherited a website that uses javascript/DHTML to
create a scrollable text area. I suspect it was created using a
Dreamweaver extension as the pages with scrollable text contain the
following comment lines:
// Extension developed by David G. Miles
// Original Scrollable Area code developed by Thomas Brattli.
I’m no Javascript or DHTML expert but it looks good and
it still works in IE7. My question is, how do I edit the text that
scrolls? It is not initially visible in design view, unless I place
the cursor in either of these two lines in the code window:
<div id="divContainer" style="z-index: 2">
<div id="divContent">
Although this reveals the text in the design window, if I try
and click on the text to edit it, it disappears. I can find the
text in the code window, and I could edit it there, but I have a
lot of changes to make and I would prefer to make them with some
visual feedback of the formatting. Does anybody know if this is
possible?
I've tried searching for info on the web, but all the pages
that I can find point to
http://www.z3roadster.net/dreamweaver/.
This address does not exist and the domain (www.z3roadster.net)
comes up with an asp.net error page.
Also, is it necessary for the site to use frames for this
Javascript/DHTML to work?

Now way for anyone to know for sure without a link to your
page to see what code it uses. One suggestion would be to copy and
paste the text into another document make the necessary edits and
then paste it back into the original document.

Unless the script you are talking about uses a iframe within
the divs to create the scrollable area (which is doesn't seem to do
if you can see the text of the scrollable area in the code), then
it seems from your description that it should work, but only way to
tell is for you to pull the frames out.
