Edge Animate CC :: How To Use Cookies To Control Which Part Of The Timeline To Play From
Nov 4, 2013
I 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.

I 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");

I 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.

I 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.

if it's possible to control a html5 video in Edge ?For example, I added a html5 video with the video tag and I want the video to play and stop after 20 seconds. Then, plays some animation on my edge timeline. I suppose the video must be controlled with Javascript ?

If 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

I have come across about a dozen similar discussions, but most have presented solutions that worked in earlier versions of Edge and no longer work.
I am trying to use Edge to build animations that can then be integrated into larger non-Edge projects. I would like to then be able to control the Edge timeline or Edge symbols from elements OUTSIDE of Edge, such as another link or button in the page.
I cannot seem to figure out how to properly reference the Edge stage or symbols.
I have come across several proposed solutions for referencing Edge stage, such as:
var comp = AdobeEdge.getComposition("EDGE-966604542");
var stage = comp.getStage();
var comp = $.Edge.getComposition("EDGE-966604542");
var stage = comp.getStage();
var comp = Edge.getComposition("EDGE-966604542");
var stage = comp.getStage();
and these either DO NOTHING or throw errors about either AdobeEdge or Edge or comp being undefined.

I'm building an animated menu in the latest version of Adobe Animate. There are 5 different animations that happen within the same box on the main stage. I have made each animation it's own symbol. I want to trigger the animations from text boxes to the left of the box where the main animation takes place. The text boxes are not apart of any of the symbols, but are just on the main stage.
When someone scrolls over any of the individual text boxes i need to play one symbol's timeline AND hide all of the other symbols from the stage.

I have a symbol，some timaline and labels in it.so now I want to play reverse between the Label A and Lable B but the action syntax is like
test1_play.playReverse();
so how can I play reverse rom LableB to LableA?
sym.playReverse ( position, executeTriggers )
position defaults to the current playhead position (which defaults to 0); If play is issued and the playhead is at the end of the timeline, play from the end.executeTriggers can be true, false, or null and indicates whether triggers at the starting position are fired:true - all triggers at the starting position are fired.false - no triggers are fired at the start point.null, undefined or omitted - triggers are fired at the starting position only if the timeline is being played for the first time, or if the starting position is different than the current playhead position as returned by getPosition().Description: Play the default timeline in reverse from the given position given in milliseconds (if position is a number) or as a label (if position is a string).

So my animation is a song and I'm doing like a video clip with interactivity (the interactivity is not inside at the moment).I need to have a play button so we can see (heard) on iPhone, iPad...
My problem is that the animation begin immediately behind the play button and before I press it.So the song and the animation are not synchronize.I try many things to stop the animation but nothing is working.

I have made a pause and a play button to my slideshow.The pause button is just a boks with the click-action code:
sym.$('btn').click(function(){
sym.stop();
});
The pause button is a boks with the click-action code:
sym.$('btnPlay').click(function(){
var timelinePos = sym.getPosition();
sym.play(timelinePos);
});
It works but in the beginning, I have to click twice before the function works. It is only the first time. After that everything works fine.

I'm doing an animation where I have a 2d side scrolling concept.
I have a side scrolling world with road, and the user controls a car driving left or right from one area to the other. The user controls the direction of the car via keydown (arrow keys).
Now the problem is, if the user presses right, then it works fine and the car drives forward to where I want it to stop. But if the user presses left to go back to a previously visited area...the car reverses to the previous area.
The way the keydown events control the timeline is simply if the user presses the right arrow key I simply call sym.play(); and when the user presses the left arrow key I call sym.playReverse();
how I can manage to either swap the car symbol with another symbol...or flip the car symbol 180 degrees.
The desired effect is, if I call the play action the car must face right > and when I can the playReverse action the car must face left <

I have an animation that runs for around 2 minutes. I want to add a button that the user can click to pause/play this animation if they want extra time to read the content on screen. I'm not sure how to tell a button to pause at the current frame and resume when clicked by the user. The button will also need to change states from a pause image to a play image when clicked and vice-versa.

I´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!

whats 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.

I 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.
