Edge Animate CC :: Prevent Animation From Playing / Until Visible On Screen?
Jun 21, 2013
I have multiple pieces on animation elements on my site. I'd like the animations to play when the user has scrolled to that position on the page and not beforehand. Right now, page loads, user is at the top of the page and all animations load and start playing. By the time I scroll down, the animations have ended.
I have created an animation where the objects move left to right.Is there a simple way of 'flipping' the timeline so that the animation effectively plays in reverse, rather than redoing the animation altogether?
I have started to work on an animation which will work as a splash-screen before the users see the actual site. (Yes I know... but the client wants it like this...)
The problem I have now is that the animation plays after a few seconds and that during these seconds it shows the content of the website. Besides that I still find it pretty difficult to actually position the animation the way I want.
I am using a plug-in for wordpress.
I tried fixing this with a pre-loader but this is also too slow. Is there any way I can force the animation to play sooner or to make sure they can't see the content before the animation has played?
play "SYMBOL_2" - "DIV_ANIMATION_1" - "ANIMATION_1_START" from within "SYMBOL1" - "DIV_PLAY" with the mouseup command
URL....I know that i can sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("div_animation_1").play(); from within "div_play" but how do i access a point on the timeline and play from there...
The stage size you see above is H: 400px, W: 550px.
I would like for the stage to be smaller, say H:50px./W:400px
Ok so if I change the size of the stage the animation text will not show, so I need to adjust the position of the text in order for the animation text to be visible, but in doing that, I am disrupting the timeline and the animation goes all funny, is there another way of doing this without disrputing the timeline?
I start with several items on the stage, each an iteration of the same symbol. When I click on one, it performs an opening animation, then pauses. When I click on another, the first symbol un-pauses on its timeline, animating back to original position, while the second one I clicked plays its opening animation till its pause. Each of the symbols can tell the already deployed symbol to "play itself off."I'm sure this was done in Flash all the time, and there's a Javascript solution.
var a = new Audio(); a.src = "xxx.mp3"; //.ogg if IE a.play();
It works on different browsers including IE, firefox and chrome, but have no sound on Safari. I tried Safari 5.1 on PC and on iPod 4.3.3. I tried .wav, .ogg, .mp3.
I did take a class for it in college so I know the basics, but still learning. I am trying to create a very basic animation where I have 2 assets that begin off the stage on either side. I would like the elements to slide in from the sides and meet in the middle with about a 20px overlap. I tried setting a keyframe for both elements at 0 seconds and setting the X translations to -2000px and 2000px and then setting another keyframe at 5 seconds and changing the X translations to 48% and 52% respectively. This got me the desired effect, but only because I have such a large monitor. If the browser window is resized or the screen is smaller, the effect does not stay the same due to using percentages to center the elements.
is there a way to animate elements to the middle of the screen without percentages(maybe by using margin:0 auto or something)? Or is there a way to accomplish what I am looking for so that the positioning of the elements is the same regardless of browser window size?
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 have two compositions on a page and I identify them within the AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback. As soon as the user scrolls to the first animation I want to start it with an external call (compId.play()). If this is the only composition on the page it does work correctly. But as soon as the second one is added to the page it doesn't play at all. If I trigger the first animation via the console (e.g. compId.play(1000)) the animation jumps to the 1000 ms mark but then it stops immediately and doesn't play on.
I use the wp_oEmbed and the edge suite plug-in and in both cases the hidden off-stage elements are visible. This seems to only happen in WordPress. Standard HTML iframe does not have this problem, not does the simple html generated by edge. This seems to happen in all browsers. I even tried inline styling with a div and overflow hidden command.
I create a child symbol on the stage animate it and store the varible in the window
var infoscreen = sym.createChildSymbol("_01", "stage"); window.infoscreen = infoscreen;
I put a Btn_inside the symbol and want to delete it. But first - I want to fade out the symbol. I dont know how to do this. So the animation has to be complete before delete, but how?
I am using the rollover and rollout features to get a slide up and down kind of button panel. However when I rollover each of the three section (it's divided into three panes) it gets really twitchy and won't do the roll up and down smoothly are do it at all. URL....
I have this button that, when clicked, opens a new URL - window.open("http://www.xxxxxx.xxx", "_self"); - after playing a 1000 ms animation. The problem is that it changes to the new URL too soon, before completing the 1000 ms. I tried a setTimeout, and it worked great, but it's not so elegant as it depends on the user's computer/net speed...
I created a simple banner with a couple of basic animations. I never even touched any code. Only basic images are used, no triggers, no symbols.If I preview within Animate, everything works fine.
As soon as I hit ctrl+enter to preview in my browser, everything just stays blank. I checked in multiple browsers, all have the same result with no errors in console.Autoplay is turned on.
I am a graphic designer and I work on w7 64.I find the latest version of Edge Animate.I saw several tutorials, amongst those showing how to make a loop on an animation. I proceed as explained in the preview on my browser (Chrome), the animation runs, but no loops.In fact, I tried other interactions and other triggers : nothing of these works there!
I need to create a mask that will hide the elements as they rotate out of a free-floating window. I have an animation currently that sits in a circular window and plays when the page loads. The screen shot below is from the page in Muse with the .oam file playing. The images are PNGs with transparent backgrounds so the animation plays over the background images.
What I'm trying to add is an iris effect I've animated in Edge Animate. I haven't been able to hide the edges of the vanes in the iris during animation. I've tried to cut and paste code that I've found on this forum and others but I don't know much about coding and I haven't had any success. This screenshot is shortly after the animation starts to play as the vanes rotate out of the window:
Basically, I need to mask the iris animation to keep the images from showing outside the circular frame. I've found that the clipping tool in Edge only does square or rectangular masks. I have a PNG that I can use as a mask but the coding has really got me flummoxed. The mask:
I just made my first edge animate project and made a progress loader animation. Works well.When i placed the code in the site the animation was always on, so i've hidden the item in css
#Stage { display:none; }
When my animation is needed i'm making is visible however the animation has already been started in the background so wont begin the right place. I'm wondering should i stop the stage autoplay in the config and then start the animation in JS? If so how can i go about starting the animation via JS.
I've been playing around with AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback but cant seem to get it to play.
I created an animation for a landingpage on my website(built with wix.com).
My problem is, that wix.com has got no folder-organisation or upload-function and my Edge animation has *.html, *jscript and *.jpeg/*.png files.
In a Wix.com-forum, I've found a response, that said, that I should use external storage-websites for my files.I did so and put these files in my dropbox/public folder, copied the open links in the *.html file like this:
i created an animation for my index page of an already existing website. i tried to "publish settings" but app would not allow me to publish to my directory however it did allow me to "publish". when i uploaded the files to my server, only the splash image came up but the rest of the animation did not run. what am i doing wrong?
when I import a project .oam in InDesign, and over the project, into a higher level, there is text, the text is covered from the animation when it run in folio.
I created an animation and am having an extremely difficult time figuring out how I can display it on my Joomla website. I am using a Yootheme template and have spent countless hours trying to get this to work.
have made draggable and droppable objects in my project. Everything is working great but also i have made a button Restart. The function of restatrt is that by pushing on this button everything goes on its places. Like reloading the page (but of course without reloading) How can i do this? Because i cannot do anything honestly.
I am trying to get an animation to auto play, and loop only a particular part of the animation.
For example, the first part of the animation is my logo dropping in and bouncing. Then certain parts of the logo are animated continually, but I cannot figure out how to do this without just creating a huge timeline?
