Edge Animate CC :: Stop() Overrides CSS That Is Applied Via JavaScript
May 15, 2013
I think I've found a bug via Adobe Edge.
If you have a symbol that has some labels as such
then you add that symbol to stage and have the following code in document.compositionReady
var mySymbolObject = sym.getSymbol("HoverExample");
var targetElement = mySymbolObject.$("backing");
targetElement.css({"background-color":"#111111"});
where mySymbolObject is the symbol on the stage, backing is a rectangle div and the color is different than the original color in the symbol then you add the following code for hitbox (rectangle div that is alpha 0) under Hitbox.mouseover
sym.stop("over");
the end result is that the css from the project, in this case the red background color, gets reapplied on mouseover despite me changing the color on startup.
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 = $.Edge.getComposition("EDGE-966604542"); var stage = comp.getStage(); var comp = Edge.getComposition("EDGE-966604542"); var stage = comp.getStage();
and these either DO NOTHING or throw errors about either AdobeEdge or Edge or comp being undefined.
I just made my first edge animate project and made a progress loader animation. Works well.When i placed the code in the site the animation was always on, so i've hidden the item in css
#Stage { display:none; }
When my animation is needed i'm making is visible however the animation has already been started in the background so wont begin the right place. I'm wondering should i stop the stage autoplay in the config and then start the animation in JS? If so how can i go about starting the animation via JS.
I've been playing around with AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback but cant seem to get it to play.
Is it possible to target adobe edge build from an external Javascript file? For instance, I click a button outside of the edge animate project and javascript tells Edge animate to "play()". What would that syntax be?
I'm trying to create all kinds of functions on an external .js file, so I can just call them in Edge multiple times with less coding. The thing is, after importing jQuery and my external Javascript file, some code works, but I get stuck at this part: changing the .css property of a symbol, more specifically, the "font-size" property. My current function is:
function setFont(textid,fontsize,originalWinWidth){ //textid: symbol's name; fontsize: current font size of this symbol; originalWinWidth: window size at the start of the animation console.log("Set Font:"); //set the original font size var originalFontSize = Math.round(originalWinWidth/fontsize); console.log("Original Font Size: " + originalFontSize); console.log("Text ID: " + textid); //set the font size using jquery sym.$(textid).css("font-size", originalFontSize); }
I get an error at the last line, all other parts of the code works.
How to publish/ include my Edge animation which has an audio element (included via the buzz javascript library) to Wordpress. Thus far Ive been uploading Edge animations as .OAM's using Edge Suite plugin for Wordpress. However, when I upload the file, there is no audio so Im at a loss on this one.
I have managed to make a flake in Edge to flash randomly after following a tutorial on lynda.com
My javascript knowledge is fairly limited but I used the following code on a trigger inside the flake symbol I made:
var randomFrame = Math.floor(Math.random()*5000); var maxWidth = $('#Stage').width(); var randomX = Math.floor(Math.random()*maxWidth); var randomY = Math.floor(Math.random()*300); sym.play(randomFrame); var myName = sym.getSymbolElement(); $(myName).css({'position':'absolute','top':randomY+'px','left':randomX +'px'});
This all works as a randomly appearing flake which doesn't look like snowfall. How to make the symbol float down from the top of the stage and repeated lots of times to look like snowfall?
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!
I have made several Adobe Edge Animate projects and have inserted a stop trigger for the "home" arrival after animation intro. I just created a new project and can't get the stop trigger function to work. When I preview it plays through the entire timeline. I've tried several different combinations of triggers - sym.play from () at the beggining of the timeline and then adding a sym.stop at () and no matter what, it plays through the entire timeline.
Is there a way to stop all actions once a hotspot has been pressed? I have loaded an mp4 video into my presentation. I have created a slide menu that goes right to left. I made sure to turn the buttons on only in the areas that they are needed. Once I play the movie, it works fine, but when I select my navigation to go to another page the video is still playing in the background.
Having 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.
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.
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 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.
