Edge Animate CC :: Loading Latency With New Update?
Jan 23, 2014
I just updated to the latest version of Edge Animate CC yesterday. Great new features, by the way! However, I have noticed that with a simple file that I created with the new version, there is a 3-4 second loading latency when previewing a file and when launching the published version. This is not the case with files that I created in the previous version and have not updated.
Example: I have a gray rectangle element that covers the entire stage, and I have an action on creationComplete to hide the element. I see the rectangle immediately on launch, but it takes 3-4 seconds to hide.
my animation takes around two seconds to load within my browser. Is there a way to display a loading symbol such as spinning circle, that will show the animation is loading, then disappear once it is ready to display?
I'm currently working on a site which is almost 95% complete. The loading time for the site is approx 7-10 seconds which seems to be slow. I have placed a preloader but that doesn't seem to be coming up while the site is loading.
Is there anyway to speed up the loading time. Like some code that will tell it load specific number of frames first and then load the rest in the background?
I have compressed the images that are being used but cannot compress further as they may lose the quality.I've got the preloader working and now it seems to be showing up while the site is loading. Is there any way to speed up the loading time.
From the image above you can see that "jquery" loaded twice @ 91kb = 181kbedge 1.5 loaded twice @ 102kb = 204kb aswell as the edge and edge actions files loaded twice and if i boot strap comps together the images are loaded multiple times aswell
I designed animation with adobe edge animate using png images, and added it to my website in adobe muse. When previewing the website it works perfectly, but when i uploaded my website to my host, everything loads except the edge animation content, in all pc and ios browsers.. Then after few clicks and mouse roll over the animation place on the page, and after a few reload of the page.. It loads and works.
I am working with Adobe Edge to create an HTML5 website. My problem is the website load very slow because it downloads all images before browser render the web. Is there any configuration or code change to make the image load after click or mouse over event?
I have a main page with a container (named BoxPlay) and a button. And I have an other page (page2) with severals animations on it : animation 1, animation2...
I would like to load the page2 but directly with one of his animations.
Code of the button : var container = sym.$("BoxPlay"); container.append('<iframe id="currentPageHolder" width="'+container.width()+'" height="'+container.height()+'" src="pages/GallerieHomePage/GallerieHomePage.html" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>');
How can I specify to load also animation 1 or animation 2 ?
I have an animating banner on my homepage that I want to link to another page. The same way that static image banners work.The click action set up inside the animation works perfectly in all browsers other than IE 8 and below.In IE 8 and below, the animation is replaced with a frame with the "Poster. png" image with a link; as expected.When the image is clicked, it loads the new page inside the frame where "Poster.png" was located. Not in the enclosing window. I've tried every Link Target that is available as well as some custom JS and JQuery scripts with no resolve.
I am trying to find out if it is possible to start/load the animation based on a specific point in its timeline? The animation I am creating is a parallax animation based on mouse position and I am trying to load it in the middle of the animation and based on the users mouse position will play forward or backwards from that point.
just started using Edge Animate. I have some experience with Flash and After Effect so the layout is pretty familiar to me. I have no background in coding so I am very happy that it generates codes for me.
My goal is to make a simple html5 site with links / embedded videos to my contents (500 and vimeo). I copied some codes used for Youtube embedding, sub'd the url with vimeo url, and it worked fine. I used a "play video" button on the main page to trigger loading the video page (see my code below).
It worked great the first time I clicked the button and went to the video page. However, upon returning to the main page, and click the "play video" button again, a duplicate copy of the video is loaded right below the video loaded upon first click. This occurs for as many times as I click the play video button.
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.
Is there a way for me to know what all features of HTML5 does my Edge project actually use.
I know there are a lot of sites which tests what all HTML5 features are supported by a browser, but I want to know which all features are being used by a edge project.
I've placed the OAM file of my Edge animation and gone through the steps of creating a "folio", but when I preview in Adobe Content Viewer all I get is a static page that fades out when clicked.
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 followed the adobe tutorial to manually create an html page in order to have two edge animations on a page but it doesn't work well. The second animation starts but not the first one (I can see the first frame only).
Edge Animate project produces 4 default framework files right now: Edge API, jQuery, jQuery Easing and JSON. Gzipping them we got 60KB of pure JS compressed and minified code. After that we have actual project files which can be compressed into around 20KB but this really depends on a project. So finally we have around 80KB of JS code without images, styles yet. This is acceptable for broadband connections but looks a bit too large for mobile devices.
Is there any way to minimize dependencies on jQuery so that framework will be at least 30KB? Smaller is better in this case.
I'm evaluating Hype by Tumult at the same time and framework JS produced is 16KB compressed and minified. It's 4 times smaller (60KB of Edge Animate). It doesn't contain IE-compatibility though but I don't seriously care about IE 6-9 as mobile is primary target for me so Webkit.
