How to make a interactive colouring page in Edge Animate?

My suggestion is download my file and play around with it.

Make a copy of it...

Take it apart... put it back together see how it works.

I would suggest starting with a basic tut to get you started in Edge:

You can download my sample file here it's in a zip file:

Here is a Simple sample of the same concept:

I put some explanations in the code...

You are basically just changing the background color of each shape...

Remember the shapes that you color are limited to the shapes you can create in Edge.....

Although basically there are only circles and rectangles you can see that I was able to manipulate shapes to make a star.

Hi Schrene,

I am trying to figure out creating a coloring book in Edge as well. Is there a way you can relink your sample and .zip files so I can see how you set it up (the urls don't seem to be active anymore)? I was trying to use set variables on the color buttons and then have each symbol animate to a location on the timeline (that depicts a different bkg color). However, it sounds like your solution may be better. Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks,

Hi,

I am interested in the same sort of coloring book project. Can't open the above links though Would you mind reposting the links?

I guess her answer was no. Because here it is October 15, 2014 - almost a year later - and still no update on the links or even any new tutorials on this subject. You would think SOMEONE at Adobe would do a tutorial on this since it is in pretty big demand for children's interactive eBooks.
