2. Re: Problems loading JSON into Edge Animate
Try to use html tag between the quotes <br> for lines, etc.. You can use any tag with class names, id names, <style> etc... within the text.

resdesign like this?
The testing site is meet-dr-pierre-miller
It's just not working. I'm noticing odd hiccups between the frames. I have JSON files loading in on Timeline events which are supposed to replace the thumbs and corresponding data. If I pull out the long text blocks it works. The last one, loads flawlessly though… could it have something to do with caching the JSON?

OR like this

1s - do not allow line breaks.
Try this:

What I mean, after adding your html tags for <p> or <br>, delete all the breaks between line until you have only one long line in DW for example. then copy that text in the json file.

AAAAhhhhh! Thankyou.
I'm thinking about putting in some ajax to dump the cache problem. Already though removing the line breaks is making it smoother. Now I need a method to hide / show depending on whether there is a null reference.
I'm thinking something like
if some textfield has null in it
hide the parent clip.
That will be phase 2.

9. Re: Problems loading JSON into Edge Animate
Oh, great!
Basically your text needs to look like it would look in Animate and you can see that line break gives an error.
sym.$('text').html("this is text
this is text");
gives an error
sym.$('text').html("this is text"
+" this is text");
is correct.
sym.$('text').html("this is text this is text");
is correct.

10. Re: Problems loading JSON into Edge Animate
So for example if you had a text field element that was named "the name". How would you tell animate if the value of the loaded json object was "null" hid the parent clip which is inside another symbol.
Something like
// if my element mySymbolInstanceName has the text "null" in it.
if (sym.getSymbol("mySymbolInstanceName").html("null") { //this is wrong syntax… not sure why
// hide the parent symbol
sym.getParentSymbol().css({"opacity":"0"});
}
else {
// do something entirely different
}
I'm sure my syntax is WAY off.

// if my element mySymbolInstanceName's
if (sym.getSymbol("teamgroup1")sym.$("teamThumb1").data("null") { // or is it more along this line?
// hide the parent symbol
sym.getParentSymbol().css({"opacity":"0"});
}
else {
// do something entirely different
}

12. Re: Problems loading JSON into Edge Animate
The functionality I'm trying to change is demonstrated here.
Show when you go to the Assissting tab that the last two thumbnail symbols don't have data. They should be hidden
Also the hygiene tab has 3 which should be hidden. I tried to manually hide them but it broke the entire thing.

13. Re: Problems loading JSON into Edge Animate
Here is how I handled it on a text on the stage and a button:
test if string is empty.zip - Box
var myText = sym.$('Text');
var nextBtn = sym.$('nextBtn');
myText.html('');
var test = ['here is text','','more text','still more text',''];
i=0;
myText.html(test[i]);
nextBtn.click(function(){
i++;
if (test[i]== null || test[i]==''){
// Hide an element
sym.$("Rectangle").css({'opacity':0.00});
//myText.html(test[i]);
}else{
sym.$("Rectangle").css({'opacity':1.00});
myText.html(test[i]);
}
});
