Edge Animate CC :: Return Playback To The Main Stage Timeline From Symbol?
Jul 17, 2013In trying to learn Edge, is there a way to return playback (play from) once an animation is complete within a symbol?
For instance, I have the main timeline that shows a symbol animation on creationcomplete, but when the animation is finished in the symbol and I hide the symbol, the main timeline is no longer playing. What would I need to do to return playback control to resume playback of the main timeline? I have a label I would like to play from on the main timeline, but I have not found a way to call the main timeline from within the symbol.
Edge Animate CC :: How To Refer To Label On Stage From Within Symbol
Jan 3, 2013I'm working on a project in Edge Animate, however I have about zero experience with JavaScript and I can't seem to get this working without it.
Below you see the code. It's part of a Symbol situated on the Stage. What I need it to do is to play from a Label ('subFontsTitels') situated on the Stage-level. I've tried a lot of posibilities but with no (satisfying) results.
Part of the code:
Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_Button}", "click", function(sym, e) {
// play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
sym.getComposition().getStage().sym.play('subFontsTitels');
// insert code for mouse click here
});
//Edge binding end

Dec 5, 2013I'm new to edge animate but have a Flash background and I'm working in Edge Animate on a game which is structured in several scenes. Each scene I did put in a symbol. Now I wonder how to build the main timeline or the "story - controller" so to speak. I have all the scenes but I do not know how to connect them.
In Flash it was possible to add keyframes of scenes one after another (like stairs) and jump forward or backward if needed to load the movie clips. In Edge Animate all scenes (or symbols) are in place from the beginning of the timeline and I cannot move the symbol to a later keyframe. Of course I can move animations in the timeline. The only way I think is to hide the symbols first and make them visible if needed. But this does not seem to be the right way and I don't understand the concept of structuring complex animations yet.
I would like to know how to structure several scenes in Edge Animate properly. Something like a scene loader or unloader would be useful.

Sep 9, 2013I am surprised at how much of a challenge this has turned into
[URL]
1. Isolated out simple functionality
2. Created a stage called 'test' @ 2600x470pxs (targeting HD monitors to tablet)
3. Set Stage to 100 percentage width
4. Added a simple shape called 'test1' > converted it to a symbol
5. Centered on stage
6. Changed Settings as per below
7. Added this into the creationComplete Code Window:
sym.$("test1").css({
width : '2600px',
margin : '0 auto',
position: 'relative'
});
THE RESULT: it is fine at 2600 viewport but for 1024 it does not center.

Edge Animate CC :: Get The Properties Of The Symbol And A Text Field On The Stage?
Dec 15, 2012'm trying to get the properties of the symbol and a text field on the stage. And I can get the width and the height of them by this script below.
-----------------------------------------------------------
var temp = "";
temp += "Width of the symbol " + sym.getSymbol("mySym").getSymbolElement().width() + "<br />";
temp += "Height of the symbol " + sym.getSymbol("mySym").getSymbolElement().height() + "<br />";[code].....
And now, how can I get position(x,y)?
Are there any web sites that shows the list of the properties?
Because I'd like to know other properties too, like rotation , opaque , show/hide, etc.
Edge Animate CC :: Passing Parameter To Function On Stage From Symbol
Jun 24, 2013I have a symbol on the stage: symbol1.Inside symbol1 I have an image: symbol1_image1...I have another symbol on the stage: symbol2 Inside symbol2 I have an image: symbol2_image2
in composition.ready I have an action on the mouseout for symbol1:
var theTarget = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol('symbol2').$('symbol2_image2');
sym.getComposition().getStage().doMouseoutGS(theTarget);
In composition.ready i have the following function defined
sym.doMouseout = function (colorTile){
sym.$(colorTile.show());
}
I cannot get this to work and I am not understanding why.If I do an alert on the mouseout function for alert($(colorTile).attr("id")); I get the correct referenc to the element I want to show but it does not actually happen
Edge Animate CC :: How To Target Nested Symbol From A Button
Feb 19, 2012I'm new to Edge, Javascript and HTML5 (coming from Director/Flash/After Effects background) I'm wondering if there's a way to target a nested symbol from a button. I would like to make a simple Pause/Play toggle button that stops a nested symbol is it's playing and plays it if is stopped. In software's I'm familitar with, this can be done with a simple target path and if/else conditional statement, but I can't find any examples that don't seem much more complicated.

Jan 14, 20131st the setup:
General map is loaded
2. On a click event, an larger image of the region is loaded with the following code. On mouseover the name of the county appears and on click a popup (symbol) shows some info.
$('<img id="region1" width="310" height="475" src="images/region1.png" usemap="#region1">'+'<map name="region1">'+...
'<area id="Dallam" shape="rect" title="Dallam" coords="29,17,97,58"/>'+.....
3. In the popup symbol, I want the large image map to be remove on the click event of the button: "View another region" . I have the following code which does not work (the image is not removed) resulting in what you see below:
sym.playReverse();
sym.getComposition().getStage().stop(0);
sym.getComposition().getStage().getElementById("region1").remove();
how do I remove the image (large image of the region in purple here loaded as described on 2.)?
Edge Animate CC :: How To Set Text / Image And Link For A Symbol Used Multiple Times On Stage
Oct 7, 2013I have a logic problem in my code that I need solving,
here's the bit of code which is supposed to set the text, image and link for a symbol used multiple times on the Stage.
var names = ["melz", "brom", "calm", "micj", "mick", "brir", "mato", "brym", "azin", "hugh", "nicl", "bonr", "lisa"];
var name = null;
for(var x = 0; x < names.length; x++){
name = names[x];
var initials = (name[0]+""+name[3]).toUpperCase();
var cursymbol = sym.getSymbol(name);
[Code]...
The text and image code work, however my problem is with setting the link. It always sets all the symbols to the last name in the names[] array. What I want it to do is to set the link to the personalised name in the array. So the HH button will link to hugh.html and the BM button will link to brym.html etc.
For now I'm going to play around a bit and see what happens.
Edge Animate CC :: Set A Variable On The Main Timeline From Within A Symbol?
May 12, 2013Just getting started with Animate and coming to it from Flash, as may be apparent from my question. How do you set a variable to the main timeline from within a symbol?
I have 24 pairs of clickable elements, each in their own symbols, and all 24 of those symbols sit inside another symbol. I want all 24 to be able to set the same global variable when clicked. I can't find that this question is addressed anywhere, which makes me think I may be stuck in a Flash mindset and approaching the task in the wrong way. (There are however MANY discussions of how to address objects at different levels in the hierarchy. That's well covered.)
Relatedly, how do you access a function on the main timeline from within a symbol?
Adobe should consider putting together a support page (or pages) just for folks migrating form Flash. In the materials I've encountered so far there seems to be a studied effort to refrain from mentioning Flash in any way. I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me who have a deep background in Flash coding, but are just getting started with Animate.
Edge Animate CC :: Insert JQuery HTML Into Text Field Nested Inside Of Symbol?
Sep 19, 2013Got a nested symbol. Rather simple one. Inside the symbol is a background rectangle and a text field. When I click a button, it should insert the HTML I give it from the click event.
Now initially I did this by just using the text field by itself. No nesting. This is the code:
sym.$("copy").html("Edge Rocks!");
OK, success! The text loaded just fine.
Now let's insert that text field inside of a symbol. And let's call that symbol 'content'.Now I try....
sym.$("content").$("copy").html("Some new text");
Result? Nothing.
Tried using stage instead of sym and even added a var stage = sym.getComposition().getStage() statement before that. Nope.

Edge Animate CC :: Symbol Timeline Versus Stage Timeline
Apr 3, 2014If I have a symbol with its own timeline, I am familiar with targeting it with otehr elements and symbols and activating that timeline. But the symbol will also have a presence on the stage timeline - how does one play that?
I might be overcomplicating it, I thought it might just be play() on the main stage but that doesn't appear to work, neither does getStage.play() so I am doing something wrong somewhere

Edge Animate CC :: Randomly Placed Elements On Stage?
Aug 10, 2013I'm working on a small banner type ad for someone. The ad has the word "FREE" that turns on and off about every 1/8 second using opacity and placing the elements in different places on the stage - works fine.
However, is it possible to take one element (the "free" text) and have it randomly run at different places on the stage (jQuery I suppose)? My only reason for this is to learn something new and clean up the stage that currently has 30 elements, all duplicates!
Edge Animate CC :: How To Dynamically Set A Symbol Name That Has Been Parsed From XML To Build A Symbol Path
Mar 20, 2013Is there a way to "eval" or dynamically set a symbol name that has been parsed from XML to build a symbol path? For example, I'm trying to dynamically set a variable to the path of a sysmbol already on the stage, but it's not working correctly:
var xmlSymName = $('symName', this).text(); // where symName = "sym4" from a parsed XML node
var whatPOI = sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("sym1").getSymbol("sym2").getSymbol("sym3").getSymbol(xmlSymName).getSymbolElement();
Basically I have a lot of points on a map and I'd like to be able to name the points along with other data like tooltip callouts, etc populated via XML then loop through the XML to build the points of interest on the map. If I can get the above working I can place that variable path reference into an array and grab the data from it later. But the path is not working the way I have it.

Edge Animate CC :: Hiding Background Animation Elements That Are Beyond Stage?
May 11, 2013I can't seem to figure this out, and i'm at the end of my limited HTML and CSS knowledge. I created an animated background in Edge to use on my site, but the elements that should be hidden beyond the 1500px stage just sit there and are visible if you resize your window. i attempted to customize it with a #stage id and overflow:hidden but it did nothing.
my website is [URL] and if you resize your window past 1500px, or scroll over to the right, you can see one of the images just waiting until it is activated. i'd like to hide everything past the 1500px mark but i can't figure out how to do that.
the Edge Runtime script is in the head, including the <style> for .edgeLoad and .updateBack elelments. the <div id="stage" class="updateBack"> is the first line of code in the html, then the tag is closed and i have my main container.
Edge Animate CC :: Why Size Of Stage Increased / When Insert OAM Via Dreamweaver
Dec 28, 2012I am creating a slider for a site's Home Page, and specified a Stage size of 960 x 255 pixels in my Edge Animate document. When I inserted the .oam file from Dreamweaver (Insert > Media), the dimensions grew to 980 x 275 pixels. Manually correcting the dimensions does not correct the problem. The width remains wider, and a gap exists between the bottom edge of my animate object and the border graphic that overlays the object.
How do I correctly specify the stage size so it remains at the size I specify once I insert the .oam file in my page?
