Help, having trouble actioning symbol to play in edge animate?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 07 Nov 2014 06:36:05 GMT

Sorry this is probably a very basic question and even so I'm having trouble getting a symbol to play when I click on some text. I have a 'Location Map' link which essentially acts as a button to open up a location map of the business. The location map is a symbol as I want it to fade in when the button is pressed and fade out when I close it. I have managed to get this type of function to work when I had the location map placed on the main timeline and used a label to do this, but now I would like to have the map as a symbol.

So on the 'location map' link/button the action reads:

sym.getSymbol("location").play("in");

The "in" refers to a label within the symbol timeline. I have also tried to remove the label and simply have:

sym.getSymbol("location").play();

These are instructions I have followed from a number of tutorials, however I must be missing something because neither of these codes do anything when I click on the link.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

adobe edge animate an error occurred please save your work after 2014.1 upgrade. Is it worth it?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 05:30:04 GMT

I have just upgraded to Edge Animate 2014.1 and tried to open up an existing file. I get the following message "an error occurred please save your work and restart Edge Animate". I have looked at some posts about this and it seems the general consensus is that I should go back to the CC version and work on the file from there. Is it worth trying to work out the problem with the new version and try 'somehow' to get it to open as per some other suggestions relating a post like this or should I be going back to Edge CC. I am a very basic coder and thought the new version may be a little easier to work with.

Thanks in advance!

Can I import an After Effects file into Edge Animate??

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 05:29:24 GMT

Is this possible??

The reason I would want to do this is that there is a a butterfly animation availble for purchase which has been created in After Effects (very realistic and that's why I like it) which I would like to incorporate into my website which is being designed in Edge Animate.

Cheers.

Importing Flash content into Edge Animate?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 04:23:15 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I have just started a new site using Edge Animate which I'm completely new to. The website is a collaboration between my brother and myself, he has been working on some Flash animations for the site and I'll be working on the website design. After reading recently about the move to HTML5 I decided to try Edge Animate to move with the times, however the Flash animations were started a while back and it would be too much work to try and re-create them in another program.

Is there a way to import an existing Flash animation into Edge Animate? Or a specific format to export out of Flash for it to work in Edge?

I have heard of a Flash to HTML5 converter but wouldn't know how to insert the converted file into Edge, or if it's at all possible.

Thanks in advance
