I have a banner I have been working on with three spinners like a slot machine. Currently I have everything hand animated to rotate the spinners to spin to one of 4 options each. What I would like is to have a button that triggers the spinners to rotate to a random ( 1 of 4 ) points over the course of 1/2 second 500ns.
Is there a code snippit that will make an object rotate to one of 4 chosen variables?
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.
It happens quite frequently (~7/10 right-clicks)
I have a keyframe where I must to upload a random series of symbols, and I do it with the script:
var myVar = Math.floor((Math.random()*6)+1);
var stage = sym.$("Stage");
var myAni = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_" + myVar, "stage");
myAni.appendTo(stage);
The script works fine, but, at NEXT keyframe I must load another series. The problem is that the symbol loaded in the previous keyframe is still present and the new symbol overlaps it.How can I unload or discard the previous symbol?
I have several animations converted to symbols and I want the composition to call one at random on load. These will be page header animations and my intension is use the same composition on each page that pulls an animated header at random when the page loads. I've done this with Flash using Actionscript but not sure how to code it out in Edge.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have an animation with 5 different parts. I would like to trigger a random part when clicking on a button.
In order to do that I put labels on all parts (play1,...,play5). Then I put a code on the button on the click event :
var RandomNb=Math.floor(Math.random()*5)
if(RandomNb=1){sym.play("play1");}
It is just a simple test but it does not work : the animation play1 is always played no matter the value of RandomNb. I obviously make something wrong but I don't know what...
how can I get a Random Number in a Text by clicking a button?
For example: I have an already animated object [a dice] as button and I have a Text object located on other part of the stage and where should appear the random number from 1 to 6.
I have tried in CreationComplete and compositionReady, and in the Click option in the button, one of these two options:
Math.floor((Math.random()*6)+1);
var ran_number=Math.floor(Math.random()*5;
I have also tried in the dice image [button] within the symbol this [with one of the two previous codes]:
sym.getComposition().getStage().$("text").html(ran_number);
And it doesn't work anyway. Right now I'm basically lost. That would be like:
1.- start your computer.
2.- open Edge.
I have a dozen or so animated symbols on the stage and I'd like a randomly called one to play each time users click a button.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy first time using Edge. I exported an html file from Muse & just wanted to animate some buttons on the page sliding in. But when I click on anything thats a button (from Muse) I get the Exception Error message "An error occured. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate"
It seems to happen to anything in the file that has more that one state. Is this something that I cant do in Edge?I've tried restarting. saving as a different file in a different location. uninstalling/re-installing Edge.
Not sure if it matters: The buttons that I'm trying to animate were not automatically created from a Muse Widget. I made the different states in Photoshop & imported as a photoshop button.
I'm having a problem with IF ELSE code use with a mouse click. What I want each time a user "clicks" i want to execute a particular block of code, up to 3 clicks, then nothing. I've tried local and global click counter var but can't seem to get past the first "if". This is what I have now (I'm using console.log() to keep track.
In comp ready i create a global var ...
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded heresym.getComposition().getStage().setVariable('clickcnt', 1); //set counter to 1
var i = sym.getComposition().getStage().getVariable('clickcnt');
console.log ("Counter is starting at "+i);
on the stage i create a "click" event..
// insert code for mouse click herevar i = (sym.getComposition().getStage().getVariable('clickcnt'); if (i=1){ console.log("counter is = "+i); //do some code sym.getComposition().getStage().setVariable('clickcnt', 2); //set counter to 2 } else if (i=2){ console.log("counter is = "+i); //do some code sym.getComposition().getStage().setVariable('clickcnt', 3); //set counter to 3 } else if (i=3){ console.log("counter is = "+i); //do some code sym.getComposition().getStage().setVariable('clickcnt', 4); //set counter to 4 taking it out of range sym.play(100); //play the timeline animation } else { //
I'm using this to negate any further clicks. I'm sure there's a proper way to do this. I just don't know it. sym.stop(1000); console.log("end"); };I When I run this It never gets passed the first if, It's like the "clickcnt" var is not getting updated or read properly.
When I try to add a click event on a symbol, I can't access to the symbol, only to the parent. For example, if on the event click on a specific symbol A I add the code
var symbolElement = sym.getSymbolElement();
symbolElement.hide();
It will hide the parent of A, instead of hiding A. How do I access to A?
How do I reference `this` when a symbol is clicked? I have a click event on 'alien' on the stage. In the handler, sym appears to be stage and not 'this'.
I want it to play itself (amoung other things) when clicked.
e.target gets me the element, but not the edge symbol so I can play itself.
it's all in the title^^
when i try to preview in browser , it loads like 2 seconds then nothing more happens.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a button on the main stage with a hit event inside of it. This hit area calls frame lables on other symbols (these "other symbols" are also on the main stage, not dynamic) . How do I make the click event of the hit area null if one of these symbols is/are visible? I added another button to set the visibility to false but then I also need the click event to reset itself to it's original state

View 2 Replies View RelatedI found a really good tutorial here for how to create childsymbols on a mouse click and it works fine - as long as you are doing it on the main stage.
Here is the code:
var circle = sym.createChildSymbol("flower", "Rectangle");
var circleElement = circle.getSymbolElement();
var posX = (e.pageX- ($(circleElement).width()/2)) + "px";
var posY = (e.pageY- ($(circleElement).height()/2)) + "px";
sym.$(circleElement).css({"position":"absolute", "top":posY, "left":posX});
I wanted to create the ChildSymbols on to a premade symbol I have called 'Rectangle'. This works as long as my symbol 'Rectangle' is the same size as the Stage or at least placed at the top left of the screen.
However if I move the symbol 'Rectangle' away from the 0,0 coordinates then the Child symbols appear offset by the distance that 'Rectangle is from the zero point.
How to keep the Child symbols where I want them to be on the Rectangle? I tried calling the childSymbol like this:
var circle = sym.createChildSymbol("flower", "Stage");
And that keeps the symbols where they should be, but for some reason it has a performance lag and also means that you can't click within the bounds of a generated childSymbol.
Everytime i open Adobe Edge Animate, it takes a good minute or too to stop the spinning ball. Then after every mouse click, it spins for another couple of minutes, and so on. I have tried creating the launchd.conf file with the proxy information, I have uninstalled and installed numerous times. I am working from CC with a Mac Book Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 OSX 10.8.5. I am having no other issues with any of my other applications and them being responsive.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create an instance of a symbol at the mouse location when i click - anywhere on stage. I think it should be something like the following:
//stage on.click function
// Create an instance element of a symbol as a child of the
// given parent element
//premade code: var mySymbolObject = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_1", "ParentElement1");
var mySymbolObject = sym.createChildSymbol("Symbol_1", "Mouse");
This doesn't work of course because the mouse isn't a symbol.
In Edge, I have created an application where a user can click buttons and then it takes them to a separate scene. However, I seem to have run into a problem where the click only works in a certain area of the box. I created the buttons in Photoshop and imported them to Edge. Only the edge of the button closest to the edge of the stage will work for clicking for some odd reason.

I don't know if the best way is to have all the "camera zooms" and information on one timeline (have to manually animate everything dissapearing, fiddly), or to separate them into symbols and call them up?

I have a text object in my Animate comp. It's pulling in HTML using JQuery's .html command. What I'd like to do is from that HTML, I'd like add an a href or similar link where onClick something happens to another Animate symbol. In this case, I'll make it simple and just show a div, but it could be anything. Of course, Animate has actions for symbols in the Elements panel, but this needs to happen from the HTML itself. Like this:
sym.$('content').html('<p>If you click this link, the <a href="sym.$("gallery").show();">Photo Gallery</a> will appear.</p>');
OK, this is a simplified version and I realize the syntax in the a href is completely wrong. But you get the idea. I click in that text and a div now appears on the screen. Also would be great to do it from an image link as well.
So is there a way to do this in Edge Animate? It's important I need to find a way to make this work.
I'm playing with the edge commons and json possibilities.
I have a movie with dynamic infos coming from a json file. Everything displays succesfully right now. I would like when I clic on a element (on the thumb picture) that the current info (so I suppose I have to pass an ID somewhere) displays in a movieclip I created (this movieclip is called "detail" in my edge scene).
I currently have a spotlight in my example when clicking on the thumb but I would like to remove it and just display the selected infos in the detail movieclip. I hope I'm clear enough..
I join my example file here. [URL]....
I'd like to delete all symbol instances on a click event, the
sym.getSymbol("SymbolDefinitionName").deleteSymbol();
only works on one symbol, and I've tried combining it with both
sym.getComposition().getSymbols("SymbolDefinitionName");
and
sym.getSymbolElement().children();
I am trying to to load a JSON file and load images with text information.
I have a problem when i click the thumbnail, the large image can't displayed, i am receiving the following error:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
my code in compositionReady:
$.getJSON("content.json",
function(data){
for(var i=0; i<=data.length; i++){
var s = sym.createChildSymbol("template","content");
s.$("title").html(data[i].title);
[code]...
and at the element that hold's the thumbnail image, I added on the click event :
sym.$("finte").css({"background-image":"url("+$(this).data('largeimage ')+")"});
I believe that somewhere on +$(this).data('largeimage')+") is the mistake. But I can't find it.Moreover, how, the thumbnails, can be displayed as a table of 4x5?
I believe ScrollTop jquery works for scrolling certain number of pixels but how to use it in edge?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving some trouble with the oppacity on my projects. As you can see from the screenshot, I've clearly clicked something because any text or images that I try to add to my project and set the oppacity at 0% - to then build over a few seconds to 100%, will not do this.Yet previous elements that I've added will.
Is there something I need to click to stop the new text and images from changing oppacity immediately. I want them to build over time - I can see that the added keyframe looks different also.
