How can I open an adobe edge animate 5.0 project with adobe edge animate 4.0.1?

creofilgo Oct 24, 2014 5:40 AM

Current I'm using edge animate with my friend a graphics designer for a mobile app project. We already had submitted the app to itunes store and currently one animation was change. All of the animations were created under Adobe Edge Animate version 4.0.1 and the latest animation my friend sent me was created using version 5.0. Due to the changes I could not add the published animation directly with the older animations. I tried re-saving and republishing the older animations to version 5.0 but then bugs are showing up. Same animation shows different problems on different Android OS and iOS. It's kinda painful for us since our deadline is in a few days. So we are hoping an easy solution to convert the 5.0 animation to 4.0.1. My friend tried re-downloading the older version of Edge Animate but below is the mac osx issue his seeing. Hopefully a simpler solution can be provided. Thank you.

This could be a problem for your file since both versions are so different but you can change the minimum version in the edge.js line 19. change to 4.0.0. You will also need to delete the last line of the action.js that is related to 2014.1 which is different in both version

this line will be next to the line for 2014.0.1
})(window.jQuery || AdobeEdge.$, AdobeEdge, "EDGE-987060255");

2014.0.1 line is
})(jQuery, AdobeEdge, "EDGE-987060255");

with whatever you EDGE ID number is.

Do this at your own risk!!!

You should not have to do that since you should have the original folder and an upgrade folder.

Thank you in advance.

I tried your solution and was able to open the animation project on Adobe Edge Animate 2014.0.1.
Though the symbols transitions were broken.

Aside from the settings changes you've mentioned, is there anything needs to be change?

By the way, I don't have an upgrade folder since the animation was built on the latest version of Adobe Edge Animate.

Thanks

Changing the minimum version might work but it is not guaranteed to work in 2014.0.1 as there are huge changes in 2014.1 runtime.
Upgraded folder is created only when you open the compositions created in older version of animate in 2014.1
Hope this helps

Since both are quite different I am not sure you can get to work properly in the previous version. You might want to look at the action.js file to see if there is anything that is causing the problem.

Thanks for everything Guys.

We ended up rebuilding the animation using the older version 1204.0.1/4.0.1

Thanks again.
