Edge Animate CC :: Avoid Copy - Rectangle On Buttons?
Feb 12, 2013
I made an animation with adobe edge which I used in adobe dps. There is a button with touchstart (starts the animation) and touchend (play animation reverse). It works really well, but when I have the finger on the button it shows this gray copy-rectangle (the one with the blue little dots). The people at the adobe dps forum said it has to do something with adobe edge...
I have made four buttons. And they work, but when I click again on button 1 all tree animations are playing! When I click again on number on the start animation is displayed. In the buttons I have set the animations for 2, 3 and for to hide.
I'm trying to make a slideshow similar to what is provided through the Adobe Edge showcase sample files. Particularly the designer spotlight animation.
I want to get my buttons working so that when I click one it goes to that particular slide. I have copied and modified the code to work in that way but for some reason I can't get my animations to play when I click buttons-only the first button plays the first animation. Whenever I click the other button, it behaves as if it's playing the whole animation until it reaches the point of where it needs to play from the timeline.
I can post code to show you an example.
Here's what I have inside of the stage code:
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here this.circleBtnSymbol = sym.getSymbol('buttn_1'); // turn "on" first circle btn this.circleBtnSymbol.stop('on'); // global vars this.activePanel = 4; this.prevPanel = 1; this.panelCount = 4;
[code]....
All of the code seems to be set but I'm still not getting it to play exactly the way it should from the timeline.
I created 5 buttons in Edge CC that appear one after the other. After converting them to symbols, they still appear one after the other in the timeline, but in a browser preview they all appear at the same time.
I am creating a map of the US wherein each state would ideally be its own button. I would like this to trigger an event that makes that state bigger. How can I set this up? I have my map laid out in Illustrator with states on individual paths.
I am trying to move a symbol around based on it's x and y coordinates, without using keyframes to actually animate any movement.
Basically what I want to do is have a largish map image inside a symbol, most of which is off stage, with right,left, up and down buttons that slide the map in and out as you mouseover them, thus allowing the user to navigate east, west, north and south, if you see what I mean.
The buttons would move the map symbol around in increments of perhaps 10 or 20 pixels at a time, but it would freeze where it was when you moused out of the button, and begin moving again when you mouseover.
Of course it would be important to fix limits to how far the map symbol could be pushed so that you could only see as far as the edges of the map, and not beyond the limits of the map.
In Edge, I have created an application where a user can click buttons and then it takes them to a separate scene. However, I seem to have run into a problem where the click only works in a certain area of the box. I created the buttons in Photoshop and imported them to Edge. Only the edge of the button closest to the edge of the stage will work for clicking for some odd reason.
When the user clicks on two button on the stage I need an eleiment to disapear.
for example:-
If one of the buttons is pressed... nothing should happen.
Then when the other button is pressed then an element disapears.
(The user needs to be able to press the buttons in any order)
I have been usine verables to try and work this out. How I understand it is that I sould be able to store the verable on the stage and recall it.
This is where I have the problem. I have not pasted the stage code because it just does not work. But below is the code for one of the Symbol Button.I had set all the "Var" to "0" at the stage but can not change all recall them.
sym.getSymbol("button1").play();
var but1 = 1
}; if (but1 = 1 && but2 = 1){ sym.$("element1").hide();
I have an image that is mostly alpha.Problem is that it blocks buttons from working.Is there any way to set a flag to an image so it is not part of the 'touch/mouse' collision funcitons?
i can arrange it behind the buttons... but that brings other issues, because something needs to be behind the image with alpha but over the buttons.
I have two symbols nested. On mouse over, the first symbol saturates the image, and moves it down. The second symbol makes the image cycle through three pictures. On mouse off, the slideshow stops, the image desaturates and moves up. This works really good!
I have a button below it, that when pressed, starts the timeline of the first symbol (saturates the image, and moves it down). This works great...but when I hover over the image, (after clicking the button), it snaps back up, and is desaturated. I'm not sure why it does that...I want the image to stay where it is!
I just downloaded the current version of Animate CC and followed the tutorials.Nothing seems correct.
There are no Gradient buttons for color on stage or vector items. the keyframes do not populate even though I have keyframes on. Dragging items do not produce a transition on the timeline.the Max width button only says None and will not let me make changes. I'm on Mac Mavericks. But if this it the quality of CC, it ain't worth the price.
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'm trying to figure out how to have the code use touchstart only if the user is using a touch device. Mousedown & Mouseover would be used if the user is on a desktop.
Say there are 4 compositions in an html file. Is it possible to create a few navigation buttons in the html file, so that when a 3rd button is clicked, the animation jumps to the 3rd animation. Something like JQuery slideshow, but the difference is, each composition is animated instead of a static image.
I have created a rectangle object with top right and bottom left corners set to 90px. I have an image that goes inside the box in the bottom left corner. The problem is I need the box to act as if it is using "Overflow Hidden" so I can position the image in the corner and have it partially "cut off" to fit the corner but It doesn't seem to be working when I set the overflow to hidden on the rectangle.
Also (part of my previous post earlier), is there a way to add/change the CSS code generated by Edge without messing anything up?I can write this in CSS and add it if I knew where and how (although I'd rather do it within the Edge interface).
I need to apply the very same motion path to multiple objects. Is there a way to copy the motion path from a symbol to another? I can't find a way to do this.
I'm trying to change the size of a rectangle wall and I'm looking for "length" and "width" buttons in the properties manager box and can't figure it out. I thought I could just key in the new size after establishing an anchor point.
I've tried lengthen and extend. But the object is a closed polyline and what I'm doing is not working. Not having much luck with the key-grips either.
1. crolling like where you have buttons for example or press on a navigation bar tab, then it goes to that specific pace of the page, for a one page website, for example some sites you press on contacts and gose down to the bottom of the page where the contacts place is located, not opening a new link.
2.Second, navigation bar, where it fallows the scroll as it gose down, like for example when it is html the object is fixed to the top, and when you scroll down it will fallow it it,
3.I need Parallex scrolling where you can have the timeline or animations run while you scroll in the meantime and have animation running all the time, for example the infographic site where the bees are fluying but still have seperate animations while you scroll
4.I would also like to ask if like looping each animations sperately, not looping the whole timeline, can it be possible to loop an animation while you have all the interactivity witht he site like looping seperately all the time, without interfeering with all the other animation
5.I also are wondering if you can create multiple pages on one animate project, like multiple pages with html
I just moved on to edge animate from html, and html was also beirf learn for me and mostly i was doing design work, and i thought getting out of graphic river and moving on the theme forest.
I want also all the five things to work on one aimate project.
Is it possible to get the text color to FadeIn or the opacity of the text color to animate with the lines of code below? I simply want the color to fade in when the mouse rolls over the text.
I'd like to animate snow falling. I assume Edge would be able to do this. Will it be possible to add it as a background? Or would it just be easier to add the effect to the top graphic portion of my page? I've used Edge back when it first came out. But havent' touched it in a while. I'm now working "in the Cloud". and I do use Dreamweaver.
I am including an animation I built using Edge Animate into Dreamweaver. I can't use an .oam file because of some other JavaScript I'm using so basically I'm limited to an .html file with all my edge includes java, and other supporting files.
when I preview in browser within dreamweaver. However, when I upload the page to my domain, my animate HTML file won't work. Here is a link to the current site in progress. (The first green box top left is my link to my animation). URL....
I have 280 extracted frames from a 12 sec. mp4 clip. I've cut-out the main object to get rid of the background and saved all the files as png. How can I bring this to a HTML5 Animation to place it on a page that will be showed on ipad-air (no animated gif and no flash)
What the best way is to animate a progress bar with an increasing %. Seems like you would specify a variable set to 0 that is then incremented via javascript while an animation is going on.
I have an ordinary div I composed with HTML, that I'd like to import into an existing Edge Animate comp and have it treated like an ordinary div. The two closest things I saw were: a YouTube video of a whole page opening in EA, and divs animated within itThis other forum, which has more components imported than I need:URL...Isn't there some kind of pasting window somewhere?
So I created my own subscription form, I have it appear and disapear when you are on the button. And when you click on it, it stays. But how can a put in an action to add text to it?
I'm looking for a way to animate a link with a hover feature. I would like the link to be initally blank, but after hovering hover the link, a colored rectangle of sorts slides in from left to right, essentially creating a new background color. When the cursor moves off of the link, the colored rectangle in the background would slide back to the left, disappearing.
After some thought, initially it sounds like an animation of clipping masks. Not sure if this is possible in Edge, or if I am on the right track.
Another hover animation that looks as if it would be some sort of clipping mask is found here on this site: [URL]....
I love the link to the right of the screen that says "Watch the trailer." It's a simple, beautiful animation that gives the site a great look.
I have an existing HTML page (created in Adobe Muse) and I am trying to draw some Adobe Edge objects on top of the page (e.g. a rectangle or an image). When I look in the layers panel, the Edge objects show as top in the list. However, visually when I look at the page, the elements show behind the pre-existing HTML page from Muse.
The Elements window in Edge Animate seems to be unstable. When I right-click in the field to modify an asset, Edge often crashes with the resulting error message:
Edge Animate - Exception An error occurred. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate.
