"This file will be automatically upgraded and saved with the suffix 'upgraded'"

Argh -- I'm very new to Edge Animate, but I appear to have run into an issue that is much more complicated than it needs to be. I purchased an EA template for use in a digital magazine, which you can find here:

http://codecanyon.net/item/edgedial-a-responsive-ui-dial-and-image-slider/7064421

It's a nice dial widget that uses Greensock. When I import the template and try to create my project, I get the dreaded "This file will be automatically upgraded" message, which creates a new folder deep in my /TemporaryItems/Cache... folders. When I save the project to a new folder, it looks like a number of files (including a proprietary Greensock library, and index_edgePreload.js) aren't coming along for the ride. I've tried dropping everything that appears to be missing into the new folder, but I'm still getting a nasty alignment issue -- the output is fine in desktop Chrome, but is completely broken in desktop Safari (the content gets thrown out of alignment).

This _upgraded thing seems to cause lots of problems, but are there any best practices for making sure that the new project works after saving down to a new folder? Very frustrating.

Alignment issue with Edge Animate widget in DPS

Hi all, fairly new to the DPS workflow. My company is working on a prototype digital magazine, so I thought it would be fun to add an interactive widget. I found this lovely dial widget and purchased it:

Edge Animate Templates - EdgeDial - A Responsive UI Dial And Image Slider | CodeCanyon

It works fine in any desktop web browser and I was able to customize it, export it, and bring it into my InDesign file. This is where the issue started. Whenever I preview the folio in Adobe Content Viewer, the dial becomes misaligned from the content behind it -- on every swipe, the dial doesn't move in sync with the content. I'm no coding expert, but there doesn't seem to be any reason for this in the code. I'm including some screenshots here:

I've now tried everything I can think of, including:

- Moving the custom javascript libs from CDN to local

- Bringing the widget in as a Web Content overlay using the HTML file, instead of placing it as an OAM

- Playing around with the scaling settings in both Edge Animate and InDesign

- Changing the perspective settings in the underlying code.

From my trial and error so far, this does not appear to be related to the custom javascript libraries, because the alignment issue actually pops up when the libraries are excluded. It appears that somehow InDesign/DPS is making a mistake in trying to scale the animation, and in doing so it's shifting the coded position for these elements. There seem to be a few known issues with using Edge Animate projects in DPS, so I figured it was worth asking if there's a line of code I can add or an option I have to click somewhere to get this widget displaying properly.
