Edge Animate CC :: Stopping Embedded Video From Loading Multiple Times?
Jan 10, 2014
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.
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 have a logic problem in my code that I need solving,
here's the bit of code which is supposed to set the text, image and link for a symbol used multiple times on the Stage.
var names = ["melz", "brom", "calm", "micj", "mick", "brir", "mato", "brym", "azin", "hugh", "nicl", "bonr", "lisa"]; var name = null; for(var x = 0; x < names.length; x++){ name = names[x]; var initials = (name[0]+""+name[3]).toUpperCase(); var cursymbol = sym.getSymbol(name);
[Code]...
The text and image code work, however my problem is with setting the link. It always sets all the symbols to the last name in the names[] array. What I want it to do is to set the link to the personalised name in the array. So the HH button will link to hugh.html and the BM button will link to brym.html etc.
For now I'm going to play around a bit and see what happens.
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!
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.
I've got a symbol that I want to loop 3 times on the main stage.how to write the code
I was thinking of putting somethiing similar to the code below in the "onComplete" action of the symbol I want to loop (I know the code is wrong but I think it is a bit close):
var l_count = (0+1); if (l_count <= 3) { sym.play(); [Code]....
Is this close, or is there a better way to go about this?
I have an issue where an addin loads once the first time Inventor is opened. If the addin is unloaded and reloaded via the Addins dialog and no documents are open it loads once. If the addin is reloaded while a file is open is reloads twice.
I came to the conclusion it is loading multiple times because the it seems to go through the Activation method of the addin twice. When is the Activation method called during loading an addin?

he problem im having is that the google map will not start at the target address when I place the code for it in creationcomplete. It only loads properly when I place the code in a trigger on the timeline . Although it loads slow when in a trigger.This is the code im using in the creationcomplete and in the trigger.
this is what it looks like when I place the code in creation complete..you see the map is thier but it doesnt start at the target. It doesnt start at the right address..This is what the map looks like when I place it in a trigger on the timeline.you see it loads correctly on the target address.
This is a tricky one, but it may just be that I don't understand the syntax,
Situation:I have an Edge Animate composition that is acting as an interface and container into which other content is embedded using an iFrame. I have several functions in Stage > creationComplete, and for one of the embedded content pieces, I want to include a button that calls one of the Edge functions.
Challenge: I have read about referencing elements within Edge when it is the Edge file that is embedded on an HTML page, but I cannot figure out how to reference Edge in the reverse.
I have tried these options where headerselect(page) is my function:
I want to loop a code / function .. let's say 100 times and each time one parameter or variable is counted up.I found "for"-loops and some with a counter.. but I coudn't get it to work in Edge Animate.Here is a fragment of the code I want to loop ->
$.get("URL...+Num, {}, function(ask, code) { switch(ask) { case '9': sym.$("leaf"+Num).show(); var leaf = sym.$("leaf"+Num); // How can I count the setting variable? "var leaf+Num = ... " doesn't work I guess.. [code]....
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 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.
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?
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.
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.
I'm trying to make a very simple 20 second video clip of me hula hooping, and every 4 seconds, draw a circle around my hula hoop that remains there for the duration of the video. So at the beginning there will be 1 circle, at the end there will be 6. how to make one of these circles visible at a time. I've been googling and youtubing for the the past 2 hours.
I got a new requirement from the client to create a HTML5 based functionality through which one can capture the video and audio using his web-cam/camcorder and microphone. I have researched on internet and found that there is api available (not reliable) [URL] . I am not a coder by profession and use Edge animate to create HTML 5 based animations and stuff like that. Another problem which i have found that the api only works well with Chrome and Opera and not with Mozilla, IE..
I've created a new video player for my client who has bounced the job as the subs are overlaid by the controls of the video - he still wants the full screen option but does not want to see the controls once you play the video.
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 ?
I am looking into edge instead of flash. My question is how do you load external images and videos from an external server?To clarify, I need to insert a link from where the images can load into the stage, so they don´t take up any of the final weight.
I'm working on a project that requires some interaction controlling video. I've used the piece of code from this thread [URL] and it works like a charm. But I'm looking at option of using youTube video for the same interaction.
So on creationComplete, I've added,
var vid = sym.$("holder"); vid.html('<iframe width="640" height="360" id="video1" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/o2l_zZOpSxk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="0" controls="controls"></iframe>');
I am working on my first Animate project. The project has several screens with short paragraphs of text on each screen. Within several of the paragraphs, I need to set up multiple links rather than linking the entire text box to one URL.
If it can't be done, I can set up transparent boxes with the links to sit on top of the text - not the best way to do this but it seems to work. In that case, is there an easy way to "stop" the link just before the user moves to a different place in the timeline?
I am trying to get an animation where the user hovers over one of 13 stars on string. What I am after is when they hover over one it looks like its been knocked and starts to swing for a shot amount of time.This should happen to them all. I have this code but it doesnt want to play!
Mouse Leave:
$(this.lookupSelector("star-1")).playReverse();
Mouse Enter:
$(this.lookupSelector("star-1")).play(0);
When you add more and more stars it just stops working.
