YOu should be able to edit the edge-action js file from the text editor on the server. i think it is located on the right side of the panel on godaddy.

Hi there,
You could directly edit the projectName_edge.js file, but I wouldn't really advise that unless you are very careful in your edits - a mistake could break your Edge Animate composition.
A safer way would be to do something similar to how this is done in Flash: use a Javascript file to hold your text variables, and then load the .js file with your HTML page and then load the variables in Animate to populate your text fields.
Let me know if you would like an example file.

Hi Alayna,
Have you tried exporting as static HTML via the publish options? This will lay out all your text in the HTML file.

@Joe
Yes please can you post an example - I am not overly competent with .js so if you can make it easy to follow that'd be helpful.
thanks kindly

@sarhunt
yes I have tried that, it does not work, it appears you can edit the text from within an editor, but when you save the file, the text does not change at all.
i assume it is because Edge is saving the text as some kind of symbol. the only way to change the text so far, from what I have found, is to have to open the Edge File and edit it there, and this is not something I want my clients having to do.
perhaps you can try edit a html file then you will see the problem I am having.?
thanks for your input

Hi alayna,
Here's a link to the example file:
https://creative.adobe.com/share/dcbe9fc1-845b-476a-838a-8379f556872e
It's pretty straightforward - it's a .js file containing only variables that gets saved in the same directory as the Edge Animate HTML file:
Then add a script tag to the HTML file generated by EA pointing to the path of the .js file:
Finally, add a handler to the Stage creationComplete event, which sets each text field to a separate variable:
That's all there is to it!
hth,
Joe
