Why edge animate?

Flash was originally designed as an animation tool and it is in many ways superior to edge animate. The only problem is of course the lack of html export support. Just add the option to export to SVG or HTML5+javascript to flash and you have a much greater tool.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash
edit, and just a quote from wikipedia:
Adobe Flash continues to be a favored animation program for low-cost 2D television and commercial animation, in competition with Toon Boom Animation. Notable users of the software include DHX Media Vancouver for productions including Pound Puppies and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Nelvana for 6teen and Clone High, Williams Street for Metalocalypse and Squidbillies, and Nickelodeon Animation Studios for Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, Danny Phantom and Happy Tree Friends . Flash is less commonly used for feature-length animated films; however, 2009's The Secret of Kells, an Irish film, was animated primarily in Adobe Flash, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature at the 82nd Academy Awards.

Hi Andrei123123,
Are you on Windows OS? If yes can you try the following:
Close Animate if already launched.
You can download TCPView from this link - TCPView for Windows
Launch TCPView, make sure that you are not running Edge Animate. It will show you a list of all the processes and the ports in use. Sort on the port number and check if 54321 is listed. If it is listed then try closing the program which is using the port and
Re-launch Edge Animate and check if it launches fine with the start page rendered properly.

Edge Animate loading jquery twice. External jquery plugin error.

I recently created an interactive map (http://www.lakesofbellaterra.com/Interactive_Map_Demo/Testing/test1.html) using Edge Animate CC 2014.1.1 Release. I used the zoom.min.js plugin from jQuery Zoom to achieve the zooming image effect present when you click on one of the map section and reveal the "section modal". Further more the zoom.js plugin uses jquery 1.7.1. I am deploying this Edge Animate project in a Business Catalyst site using a content holder. Even though the zoom.js plugin works with Internet Explorer 7+ and Firefox I initially was not able to get the zoom.js plugin to work in either browser. After changing the <meta> in the <head> to <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10,chrome=1"> via suggestion from StackOverflow (internet explorer - What's the difference if <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> exists or not? - Stac…) I was able to get the zoom image function to work in Internet Explorer 9+. So now I just need to get this function working in the current version of Firefox 35.0.1. As of now when I click on the zoom image nothing happens. The console in firebug reports the following JS related errors:
Using //@ to indicate sourceMappingURL pragmas is deprecated. Use //# instead jquery.min.js:1
The character encoding of a framed document was not declared. The document may appear different if viewed without the document framing it. LOBT-IxD-SectionMap_edge.js

The character encoding of a framed document was not declared. The document may appear different if viewed without the document framing it. jquery.zoom-min.js
Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead.
After some research I found a lead (WordPress › Support » how to prevent jquery loading twice?) That suggested that Edge Animate may be loading jquery twice, and that may be the source of the errors. I need to find out why this animation is not working in Firefox.
Here is a list of things I have already tried that did not work:
-Changing the utf charset to : <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
-Changing the version of jquery used from 1.7.1 to the latest release of 1.11.2
-Changing the image source referenced in the zoom.js call from a .svg to a .png
-Removing any scripts that may conflict with Edge Animate or zoom.min.js that are being called from within the Business Catalyst page template.
-Running the project outside of Business Cataylst to see if the error persists (it does)
Here a link to the Edge Animate project: Dropbox - LOBT Interactive Section Map
As always any help is determining why Edge Animate projects with a zoom.js plugin do not work in Firefox 35.0.1 would be most appreciated.

Hi jeremy
Thanks for sharing the info. We'll look into this and get back.

Edge Animate loads JS files twice

HI,
Does anyone know why Edge animate loads all the javascript files and JQuery and Edge Libraries twice. Is there a way to prevent or override this?
When profiling my animation with Safari and Chrome, in the Network requiements you can see that these file are loaded twice, increasing the network requirements.
It seems that the first time the format is not recognized given that the icon next to the files is for IMG. The second time it is loaded then it gets the icon for JS.
Has anyone seen this?

Sarah,
Yes, this is the only way Yepnope 1.0.x works and 1.5.x still does such things. There are changes in this area in 1.5.x though. Yepnope exposed two direct methods to inject JS and CSS files. So yepnope({load: ...}) will preload files first and inject them after. Direct methods don't preload files. As far as Edge Animate doesn't use full power of yepnope, there is good chance that direct method will work good:
yepnope.injectJs( scriptSource [, callback ] [, elemAttributes ] [, timeout ]);
yepnope.injectCss( stylesheetSource [, callback ] [, elemAttributes ] [, timeout ]);
Simplest testcase:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
          <script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/yepnope/1.5.4/yepnope.min.js"></script>
          <script>
                    yepnope.injectCss('http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/1140/2.0/1140.css');
                    yepnope.injectJs('http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Base64/0.1.3/base64.min.js')
          </script>

EDGE ANIMATE CC (2014) : Missing Code Snippets sidebar - WHY!?!?!

I just updated today, and now a project I had been working on for weeks (my first real project) won't open in CC anymore. The only reason I wanted to open it back up in CC - NOT Adobe Edge Animate CC (2014), was because this updated Edge Animate IS MISSING THE CODE SNIPPET SIDEBAR!! WHY!! WHY!! WHY!! It's a little hard to follow along with tutorials you have been using when they insert snippets from the sidebar and suddenly you don't have one anymore!
I have rebuilt permissions and restarted hoping that would fix the issue but it has not. If I can't get this project to pen in CC, can someone tell me how to trick CC into opening it again? Byt he Way -- the old version of Edge Animate was AUTOMATICALLY UNINSTALLED with this update. Also very frustrating!! I had to go to my could menu and download CC (3.0) again.

OK - Possibly Good News... I talked to Adobe Tech Support. I am able to download a previous version of the Edge Animate CC by choosing PREVIOUS VERSION under the FIND NEW APPS section of the Creative Cloud Desktop app. This is a new feature of CC. Thankfully. I can install CC and then do as hemanth kumar r suggested and edit the _edge.js file to allow 3.0 to open the file.
Thanks for all of the help. Sorry for the frustration in MY TYPING . I'll reply if that all works.

Why can't I install edge animate to another computer?

I've just discovered that adobe application manager does not display Edge Animate installer when I sign in with another computer, why?

Hi, onecatalogue-
As you already figured out, if you don't see it in the Adobe Application Manager, it's likely it's due to an unsupported operating system. Here's a list of the tech specs:

Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page?

Why doesn't Edge Animate show up in my 30 day free Creative Cloud membership apps download page? I subscribed to the 30 day free Creative Cloud membership just yesterday.
Please help.

Could it be that you are running Windows XP? I believe there is some automatic detection of the operating system you are running, and if it is not supported by the application, it does not show up on the download page.

Why wont Edge Animate preview after placing .oam file in Muse?

I placed my Edge Animate Animation into Muse but it wont preview when I select preview. It does not even show image or play animation. I followed instruction to place edge animation and in publish setting selected the animate deployment package. Deselected the frameworks via CDN (read this should not be selected but also tried it selected) made sure the stage is transparent. I saved it and published.. In Muse I selected the Place option and selected the .oam file and placed it into my webpage. The placed file shows with animation image. I made sure to link the asset to file but it will not preview or play animation. Please help!
Thank you,
Lynn

Why can't I buy Edge Animate with out the bundle?

Last month during my trial it was advertised that Edge Animate could be purchased for 14.99/mo. But now when I tried to buy the app I was told by the sales rep that I would have to purchase the entire cloud bundle. What gives?

Why does Application Manager keep telling me to install Edge Animate?

Every time I launch the Adobe Application Manager, it tells me I have to install Edge Animate, even though I have the most updated version, every other application just says "Up to date".

So that's correct, If you have the most updated apps, It should say "Up to Date".

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Edge Animate's OAM file problem placed in Muse or other unknown problem?? Please help!

Hi,
I need help please. Did anyone do a whole page animation in Edge Animate and place the OAM file into Muse, and somehow all the menu and social media icon buttons in Muse are blocked by the placed animation? All my menu buttons, social media icon buttons and a link are not working (blocked by the transparent AN stage). I can't go to any other pages because of this issue when previewed in browser. My animation is a slide-open page from center of the page to both right and left side, also text moved up to the top. All are moved out of the stage once animation finished to show the home page with contents, including menu and social media icon buttons. Thanks for your help in advance!!
Thanks,

That answers why the two G4's talk normally! I do
have the TCP/IP settings set up manually.
Well, if they are already set manually, maybe you should change them to Auto-negotiate. You shouldn't have to use the Manual setting at all. If you so, then someone, usually the people who wrote the driver for the network card, have screwed something up. It then becomes your job to fix it.
The problems are just very slow document/file
transfer from either new to old or old to new
computer over network, which usually is great with
the two G4's.
That is probably the problem. You may want to go ahead and setup the new machine with manual settings to match the G4s. Otherwise, even the Internet will be noticeably slower.
As for Target Disk Mode...so reboot the old G4
holding the T key and the hard drive should show up
on the desktop of the new computer?
That will do it. It is the best and fastest option to transfer large amounts of data. But even target disk mode is kind of slow. A real, external firewire hard drive will be the fastest of all. It is an excellent idea for backups and this kind of thing.
