Edge Animate CC :: Animation On IPad Flashes At Start?
Oct 24, 2013
i have several Edge Animations embedded in a Webview which is running in an ipad app.
the animations are triggered by a button to start (although the same error occurs using autostart...), when they start they show a white or a black "Flash" (depends on the given background).
I´ve tried setting the background to transparent, but that doesn´t solve the problem.
The animations themselves are nothing fancy, no .svg´s for example. Just moving pngs, mostly.
Everything else runs very smooth on the ipad, except that start-flash.
(you can image how hard it is to do a websearch containing "Edge Animation" and "Flash" ).
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that the Animations DONT show that behavior when tested in Safari on the Desktop-Computer.
I'm trying to create animations to use with iBooks Author for an ebook. Unfortunately I am not a coder. Is there a way to make an animation in Edge that, when clicked, it plays a song? Or a video? I don't know how to connect Edge and Author in this way. How can I do something in Edge that references something in author?
I have made an animation in edge, which I have then added into my Muse site. Is there anyway I can make the animation start when I scroll to it within the page.
I want to have some kind of collision-detection within two symbols. So when one symbol collides with another there will appear be text like "squash" or something.
I haven't found anything about collision-detecting in edge animate, but I thought I could handle it with looking for the same css-parameters of both symbols. Obj1 is moving to Obj2 on a motion path. Now I want to have a Text, when it reaches Obj2.So I tried it like this:
var positionobj1 = sym.$("obj1").css("left"); var positionobj2 = sym.$("obj2").css("left");
if (positionobj1 == positionobj2){ sym.play("Text"); }
How do I access the iPad accelerometer in Edge Animate? Need code to be able to start an animation from a label once the iPad has been rotated by the viewer.
I've just updated my development iPad and xcode to ios7 and xcode 5.
The app i´m developing uses web views to display content – which includes images and edge animations –embedded in one HTML-file using iscroll.js to swipe through (one page could be an image, the next a Edge Animation,separated in <li>-elements).
The Edge-Animations won´t show up, its just a blank page. However the iOS-Simulator shows everything correctly but on the iPad the Animations just won´t show.
I‘m trying to have a simple (slide and zoom) ken burns like full page EDGE animation in our DPS folio.
The animation works like charme in the browser preview on my mac and is running smoothly without any issues. Only when I place the OAM in Indesign and preview it on the iPad (3) the animation plays back chunky. Well not exactely chunky, but it always stops once in the middle. Sometimes just for a brief moment, sometimes like up to nerly a second. It also happens when I test the HTML in mSafari. Not as bad, but definitvely also noticably.
Since I‘m fairly new to EDGE I don‘t really have a clou where to start optimising. It‘s a real simple animation (just one image moving and slightly zooming with some easing in and out, and one text element fading in) and the resulting oam is just about 790k.
I have made an animation that after it completes, it displays an iFrame which has some input fields. The input fields behave great on a laptop pc or mac but when I use an Apple iPad, the cursor positions are way off outside of the input fields as I type.
Here is the website page: URL...Here I have the same iframe, one inside of edge and the other outside of edge. Both work fine on a pc or mac but if you try to use an Ipad, you will see that the edge one shows the input field cursor down and outside of the input field.
You can see for yourself, I have set this up for you to test and see this error.The animate oam file is: URL....
Here is a link to the edge files, the .an and java files files: URL.....
removing a preloader from the start of a project? I tried going back into properties>preloader and deleting it from the preloader stage, but when I publish it is still there.
1. I have my timline. There is a button. I have made a symbol. This symbol should not be visible at the start. If I click the button it should make the symbol visible and start it.
So... What is the code I should give my button? Should the sybol be on the timeline? Should it be turned off or should I just turn off autoplay?
What I have so far is:
The symbol is in the timeline. It is set "on" and I can make it play with:
sym.getSymbol("mySymbol").play(0);
So far so good. My problem now is that the symbol should be over my button. So it is not possible to press it. So logically the symbol should be turned "off" (then I can click the button under it) and when I click the button the symbol should turn on and then play. So actually what is the code to turn it "on"?
2. I have a button in a symbol. Can this button controll the main timeline. It should for example got to frame Number 30 on the main timeline. Is that possible? What is the code I have to give the button?
I tried so many stuff and it wont work. I am new to edge and java script etc.
I create a child symbol on the stage animate it and store the varible in the window
var infoscreen = sym.createChildSymbol("_01", "stage"); window.infoscreen = infoscreen;
I put a Btn_inside the symbol and want to delete it. But first - I want to fade out the symbol. I dont know how to do this. So the animation has to be complete before delete, but how?
I am using the rollover and rollout features to get a slide up and down kind of button panel. However when I rollover each of the three section (it's divided into three panes) it gets really twitchy and won't do the roll up and down smoothly are do it at all. URL....
I have this button that, when clicked, opens a new URL - window.open("http://www.xxxxxx.xxx", "_self"); - after playing a 1000 ms animation. The problem is that it changes to the new URL too soon, before completing the 1000 ms. I tried a setTimeout, and it worked great, but it's not so elegant as it depends on the user's computer/net speed...
I created a simple banner with a couple of basic animations. I never even touched any code. Only basic images are used, no triggers, no symbols.If I preview within Animate, everything works fine.
As soon as I hit ctrl+enter to preview in my browser, everything just stays blank. I checked in multiple browsers, all have the same result with no errors in console.Autoplay is turned on.
I am a graphic designer and I work on w7 64.I find the latest version of Edge Animate.I saw several tutorials, amongst those showing how to make a loop on an animation. I proceed as explained in the preview on my browser (Chrome), the animation runs, but no loops.In fact, I tried other interactions and other triggers : nothing of these works there!
I need to create a mask that will hide the elements as they rotate out of a free-floating window. I have an animation currently that sits in a circular window and plays when the page loads. The screen shot below is from the page in Muse with the .oam file playing. The images are PNGs with transparent backgrounds so the animation plays over the background images.
What I'm trying to add is an iris effect I've animated in Edge Animate. I haven't been able to hide the edges of the vanes in the iris during animation. I've tried to cut and paste code that I've found on this forum and others but I don't know much about coding and I haven't had any success. This screenshot is shortly after the animation starts to play as the vanes rotate out of the window:
Basically, I need to mask the iris animation to keep the images from showing outside the circular frame. I've found that the clipping tool in Edge only does square or rectangular masks. I have a PNG that I can use as a mask but the coding has really got me flummoxed. The mask:
I just made my first edge animate project and made a progress loader animation. Works well.When i placed the code in the site the animation was always on, so i've hidden the item in css
#Stage { display:none; }
When my animation is needed i'm making is visible however the animation has already been started in the background so wont begin the right place. I'm wondering should i stop the stage autoplay in the config and then start the animation in JS? If so how can i go about starting the animation via JS.
I've been playing around with AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback but cant seem to get it to play.
I created an animation for a landingpage on my website(built with wix.com).
My problem is, that wix.com has got no folder-organisation or upload-function and my Edge animation has *.html, *jscript and *.jpeg/*.png files.
In a Wix.com-forum, I've found a response, that said, that I should use external storage-websites for my files.I did so and put these files in my dropbox/public folder, copied the open links in the *.html file like this:
i created an animation for my index page of an already existing website. i tried to "publish settings" but app would not allow me to publish to my directory however it did allow me to "publish". when i uploaded the files to my server, only the splash image came up but the rest of the animation did not run. what am i doing wrong?
I have created an animation where the objects move left to right.Is there a simple way of 'flipping' the timeline so that the animation effectively plays in reverse, rather than redoing the animation altogether?
when I import a project .oam in InDesign, and over the project, into a higher level, there is text, the text is covered from the animation when it run in folio.
I created an animation and am having an extremely difficult time figuring out how I can display it on my Joomla website. I am using a Yootheme template and have spent countless hours trying to get this to work.
have made draggable and droppable objects in my project. Everything is working great but also i have made a button Restart. The function of restatrt is that by pushing on this button everything goes on its places. Like reloading the page (but of course without reloading) How can i do this? Because i cannot do anything honestly.
