Mar 6, 2014whats the best way to make scollbar timeline?
so when im scrolline to the right or left side , the timeline follows!
id tried some different way ,but i dont think its good.
1 way was. on my stage in scroll:
var animationWidth = 5000;
var stageWidth = sym.$("Stage").width();
var scrollPos = sym.$("Stage").scrollLeft();
var duration = sym.getDuration();
var percent = scrollPos / (animationWidth-stageWidth);
var time = duration * percent;
// Update timeline
sym.stop(time);
it works but is giving me double scroolbar and the second scrollbar is scrolling out of the "stage"!
2- way i tried was:
// insert code for scroll event here
var myCalc = e.currentTarget.scrollLeft/(e.currentTarget.scrollWidth-e.currentTarg et.clientWidth);
var pos = Math.round( myCalc * sym.getDuration() );
sym.stop(pos);
[Code]...
also working but same result as last.
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

Feb 2, 2013I´m using Edge for couple of days and start to work with and I love it. Now I´m trying to build a slide animation, so the content moves from right to left and vice versa.The controller goes with buttons.
I'm not very good with JS, but for now I got it to move the content from left to right. Now what I want is, to stop the timeline if a certain label is reached.
This is my code for the buttons if click:
var myLabelLocation = sym.getLabelPosition("");
if (sym.getPosition() < 2000) {
sym.play(myLabelLocation);
}
if (sym.getPosition() > 2000) {
sym.playReverse(myLabelLocation);
}
I like to say if the playhead reached 2000ms oder the label "team", than stop!
Edge Animate CC :: Reversing A Symbols Timeline?
Oct 22, 2013I need to activate a timeline event on a symbol with a button press on another object, then when the button is pressed again, reverse the timeline event. This will have something sliding in and out of the stage.
If the animation is placed right at 0.00 and there's nothing else, then this code works OK:
if (sym.getPosition() == 0)
{
sym.play();
}
else
{
sym.playReverse();
}
However there is other animation that plays automatically on page load, then a trigger stops all animation. The animation I need to trigger is a couple of seconds later bracketed by labels 'start' and 'stop'. So I need to code the button A to get the symbol B and animate from 'start' to 'stop' and then wait. Then on a further press to animate from 'stop' to 'start'. But I'm damned if I can get anything to work.

Edge Animate CC :: Jumping To Timeline Markers?
Jan 30, 2013I am working on a timeline of out company's work through the past 20 years. I have the base mechanics down by making a "rough layout".
http:[url]......
Going back and forth between "years" (noted as large 1,2,3,4 text blocks) is fine by using the arrows at the bottom.
My problem is that I'd like to be able to jump to any year from any year. So I added the numbers buttons to go to the marker for that year. Here's the script I'm using to do that (in this case I'm going to the label "two"):
sym.play();
// stop the timeline at the given position (ms or label)
sym.stop('two');
The problem is that I want it to play the timeline to the number I've selected. So if I'm on "4" and click on "1" I want it to scroll through 3 and 2 to get to one.
Edge Animate CC :: Using An Audio Clip To Control Timeline
Mar 13, 2014I have a composition which has two pieces of VO. Each has an associated text block.I want to play the first VO when the first text is clicked. Then, when the VO ends, I want the first text block to fade out, the second to fade in and play the second VO when tapped.
I have the timeline set up with labels to play through the transitions at the end of the first VO. No issues there.I have the audio playing when I click on the text blocks. All good.However, I do not know how to make the timeline wait for the audio clip to end before playing.This is the code for the first text block:
sym.$("RUP01_Nar_1")[0].play();
sym.play('Nar2');
This plays the audio but also plays the timeline instantly (so the text blocks fade from one to the other as soon as the audio starts).
I figure I need some sort of code in between which says, essentially, 'wait until the audio finishes then [play timeline]'. But as much i have searched I cannot find anything to do that.
Edge Animate CC :: Hiding Members Of Group / Div On The Timeline
Apr 17, 2014I believe there is a shortcut key for rolling up the members of a div on the timeline (kind of like you would use folders in Flash, and exactly the way it happens in the edge elements panel.) I need less layers on my timeline to cut down on the scrolling and hunting for specific layers. My coworker accidently hid hers while randomly keysmashing and we can not reproduce it. Since it's a keyboard shortcut--there's probably another way to make it happen but I can't find it. How to toggle between the hide/reveal of elements in a div on the timeline?
View 5 Replies View RelatedEdge Animate CC :: Timeline Controlled By Users Scrollbar
May 21, 2012I am currently playing around with Edge. I'm a designer, not a coder, however I do understand some basic jquery coding, and know html/css, etc. I'm currently looking for a way to have the timeline move a keyframe, as the user moves their scrollbar. There seems to be a lot of canvas scrolling animations being used on the web at the moment, and is definitely a neat effect that is going to catch on - two really neat examples of this are: URLs...
As you can see, when the user scrolls forwards (by click and drag, on Tron -- and on their browser scrollbar, for the ie site), the content moves, animates and reacts. Scrolling back has the same effect, playing the animations backwards.
What I'm wondering is if there's a way of creating a similar effect using Edge? Ideally, you could create the full animation in the timeline, and then as the user scrolls forwards or backwards, it moves the timeline scrub forward a keyframe, therefore creating the effect of animation.
The only thing I found thats close to this is here: URL....However this is an old article using an older version of Edge, and so doesn't seem to work - but shows that it can't be that difficult to do surely!?
Edge Animate CC :: How To Change Actions From Same Symbol Along Timeline
Jul 5, 2013i have recently moved from adobe flash professional to adobe edge animate. But things seem to be more complicated on edge.
I have 2 buttons, "next" and "previous", and they have their own actions to make the timeline plays to a specific point. But I cant reuse the same symbols changing only the code like I used to do on flash.
Ive already looked the whole web, but there are few edge tutorials. How to change the code from the SAME symbol in different parts from the timeline? I dont want to have to create new "next" and "previous" buttons everytime I need to change the code to go to the next page of my project.,

View 4 Replies View RelatedEdge Animate CC :: Creating Audio / Visual Timeline?
Aug 22, 2013I'm trying to recreate an audio/visual feature that was built in photoshop/indesign (with hundreds of individal frames, that took hours to complete) in Edge. I've started it and gotten about half way, but I've run into a roadblock and can't figure a way around it.
I need the animation to start onclick with a play button that switches to a pause button. This single button needs both play and pause functions associated with it, and the background image has to change accordingly. I've got the animation to go as far as play onclick, and pause, but I can't figure out how to get it to play again after the initial pause.
I'll need to add in an audio track to go over the whole thing, that will also play/pause. The entire thing has to be timed to the audio track. I have never done much javascript.

Edge Animate CC :: Play Timeline From Inside Symbol
Oct 13, 2013I saw a post on this issue but was not sure where to put the code I read there. how exactly to edit this code line to work
I am inside a symbol "oneAnimation". At the end of the animation "backBtn1" appears. Inside this button, I have added an event on click. I want the stage timeline to play from the label "startNumber" when this button inside the symbol is clicked.
So far it's not jumping back to the main time line.
sym.getComposition().getStage().play("startNumber");
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 :: Have Reached The Maximum Number Of Elements In Timeline
Aug 12, 2013What is the maximum number of elements I can have in the timeline? I believe I have about 92 elements now and when trying to add another element it shows up at the top of the elements panel, but isn't showing up at all in the timeline?
I have tried converting some elements to symbols or grouping elements but still the new element I've added to the stage is not showing up in the timeline. I am not EVEN done adding more elements.
Edge Animate CC :: How To Structure Several Scenes On Main Stage Of Timeline
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.
Edge Animate CC :: How Does Responsive / Reactive Design / Timeline Work Together
Feb 13, 2013I'm from a Flash background, used to putting code in frames along a timeline.And I've adopted much the same approach with Edge Animate putting code on the stage at trigger points..My first question is how does putting code in stage.compositionReady differ from putting code in a stage trigger at time 0.00 (or 0.05)?
How does a responsive/reactive design, and the Edge timeline work together?I've seen how you can lock a logo to top RHS corner. But what if you want a different smaller version of logofor when screen width is smartphone size.Will an Animate project with a timeline which includes animations and interactivity work in Reflow?
Edge Animate CC :: Get Button To Play Timeline For Specified Length Of Time
Feb 27, 2014I have an animation in Edge, and I'm trying to make a button that can play the timeline for a specified amount of time and then stop, without the aid of labels. So, I figured if i set the button to sym.getSymbol("mysymbol").play(500); it would make the timeline of that symbol play for 500 milliseconds each time the button is clicked, but it is not working, as this makes the whole thing simply start playing at 500ms. So I then tried adding a stop action after this:
sym.getSymbol("mysymbol").play();
sym.getSymbol("mysymbol").stop(500);
But this didn't work, because I guess since these events are one after the other, it doesn't wait 500 seconds to stop, and it reads stop(500) immediately after the play instruction, so that didn't work either. I'm pretty new to javascript, but I've been really trying to learn it along with the Edge API for a couple weeks now and still can't seem to solve this problem.

Edge Animate CC :: How To Use Cookies To Control Which Part Of The Timeline To Play From
Nov 4, 2013I have created an animation with Adobe Edge. My site uses Concrete5 and I am pulling in the Edge content into an IFRAME on my home page. I want the animation to play from the start when someone first visits the site, but if during their browser session they navigate back to the home page, I want the animation to only play a shorter segment of frames near the end.
My question is, how do I use cookies to acheive this? I'm new to javascript/jquery.
I've included the following code on compositionReady, (found in another post on this forum) but don't have a clue how to continue...
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here yepnope( { nope:[ '/js/jquery.cookie.js' ], complete: init } ); function init() { //create your cookie's initial values here } My temp site is here -[URL]
On revisting the homepage, I only want to play from when the green button drops in.
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.
