Hi,
Just trialling Edge Animate and following the basic tutorial. Already encountered a problem with simple blur effects shown in Safari and Chrome but not Firefox. I've done nothing but import images and add blur and press Save. Any ideas?
Thanks, Steve
p.s. using Yosemite and Firefox 33
Hi, a bit of a bug here.
When I drag a guide back to the ruler, out of view, with the intention to discard it, it's still there, at a measurement right underneath the ruler. So when I pan or zoom my stage out, I can still see it. However, I can't grab it anymore, and when I save, close, and re-open the file, the guide is properly gone, eventually.
I work with Animate 2014.1 on a Mac with Yosemite.
Hi folks-
This is my first Edge Animate project.
I have created a simple cross-fading 'slide show' with moving text overlays using the most recent upgrade of Edge Animate 3.0.0. 8 slides. The stage isn't that huge: 748x334 pixels. There is one .png overlay with a transparent interior to create the framing; the 8 slides revealed underneath are all Q50 'saved for web' jpgs averaging under 40kB each. I have used one of the simple preloaders in the included library and published for web.
My problem presents regardless of which browser I use (tried the latest versions of Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera), and whether I run the published .html solo (hosted on my server), or embedded in the final web page it's destined for. Also, I get the same result when I use Ctrl-Enter from within Edge Animate to preview in my default browser (Firefox).
The problem is that the preloader gif only runs briefly, then freezes, followed by up to a minute of waiting (sometimes even more) before the first slide appears and the animation begins. Solo'd, it's just the frozen animated gif during the wait. Embedded in the final web page, the whole page, including navigation, is unresponsive until after the wait is over.
Depending on the browser, I will get various warnings. In Firefox I get the 'Unresponsive Script' warning and it identifies the unresponsive scripts as:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js:4
Or
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js:5
Or
http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/3.0.0/edge.3.0.0.min.js:166
Or
http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/3.0.0/edge.3.0.0.min.js:45
Sometimes I've selected 'cancel script'; sometimes I've selected 'wait for script to finish'; it doesn't seem to matter which one I select. Sometimes it works immediately after making either selection; In some cases I get the warning message 2-3 times before it finally works.
I've tried both hosting the runtime files myself and on Adobe CDN. I've also tried 'Immediate' and 'Polite' for the preloader. It makes no difference.
I've also disabled all add-ons in Firefox and the result is the same, though it may take less time to recover from the freeze.
I ran a speed test and my current download speed is 13mbps, so I can't believe my paltry image files are taking this long to load...and even if they were, shouldn't the preloader continue to animate during the load?
Has anyone else seen this behavior? I sure am hoping for a solution~!
When I created something similar to this in Flash a couple years ago, it didn't even need a preloader it loaded up and ran so fast...
Quite Puzzled,

Want to use the example FloralMatchMaker but want to add an image in the background
When I do this , the game board is behind the pic in the final scene and can not be clicked
How do I get the game board to come to the front
Hello!
I've got a bit of a tricky one I'm hoping someone could help me with!
I've designed what is basically a tabbed info window in Edge Animate to add to a website deigned in Muse. There are 5 animated headings and when each one is clicked, the relevant info is revealed below it...
So, I've got so far:
MouseEnter: sym.getSymbol("Heading1").play('Over');
MouseLeave: sym.getSymbol("Heading1").playReverse();
Click: sym.getSymbol("Heading1").play('Click');
sym.getSymbol("Info1").play('Click');
And what I'd like to add is - when Heading2 (or Heading3 /4 /5) is clicked, Heading1 then playReverse to resume the initial state and the animation of Heading2 follows...
I've already tried a sym.getSymbol("Heading1").playReverse(); But I need it to look at which symbol is currently activated and only play that one in advance.
I hope that makes sense!
Me second problem is once the heading is clicked, I'd like it to stay that way until another heading it clicked. At the moment the MouseEnter and MouseLeave actions still work if you roll over the heading.
I'm a newbie so please keep it as simple as you can! And any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's my project if it helps to see: http://we.tl/GXk9jqCupP
Thanks :-)
Looking for someone to help with scripting in projects
I appreciate everyones help so far.
I want my illustration of a man to "walk" through my composition as the user scrolls through it.
I have a sprite created and have made it loop. What sort of code do I need to write to get it to move only on scroll and stop off scroll?
Thank you guys so much!

I am trying build a simple audio player in Edge Animate. I have added seven .MP3 files and created 7 buttons to trigger the .mp3s to play. For whatever reason, if I add more than 6 audio files to the document, the 7th will not play. (Sometimes it's the first or any of the other files will all of sudden no longer play.) I have tried a half a dozen different methods of doing this very simple task and cannot get it to work.
Does anyone know why this would happen?
Why if I try to download the EDGE 2014.1 for my mac (OS X YOSEMITE 10.10) the Adobe application manager gives, as default, the 3.0.0 version of EDGE? How can I upgrade it?
http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/tidslinje-tyskland-fran-kriget-till-murens-fall/
I´m certain this is done in Edge. Can someone explain how the timeline is created so that everything scrolls backwards and forwards, regardless of where on the timeline you click?
Any help would be much appreciated
For some reason the support chat wasn't working...
When I start Edge Animate for the first time, immediately after setup and without changing any options, the home screen is scaled completely wrong. When I hover over where the links/text are supposed to be, the mouse changes appearance in the right spot. They just don't display there.
Various other glitches occur within the program as well, like this in the Edge Web Font menu:
I'm sure there's a simple solution, I just can't find it at the moment.
The GPU monitor doesn't properly display, like PS does...
Hi,
I've updated to the latest version of edge and when trying to delete a keyframe from within a symbol I get the (unknown C++ exception) error and doesn't let me delete then keyframe. It is also happening on more than one Edge project.
This happens on multiple computers with the latest update
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I am using the latest version of Edge Animate CC 2014.1 and having great problems with the bounding box. This occurs with all items regardless if they are imported or created internally.
Everything comes onto the screen with the bounding box off by 10 pixels for the "x" coordinate. If I try to use my arrow keys to jump an item to the left or right (a keyboard shortcut I use all the time) it jumps in the opposite direction. If I try to manually enter the x value it adds an additional 10 pixels to the value (for example entering the value of 10 return the value of 20.
I have solved this somewhat by making the relative position top right, but things are still publishing improperly and I can't align things properly.
Very frustrating!
This issue didn't happened on previous versions since I tested the same project but with an older version developed with edge animate CC 2014.0
Hello Everybody,
My collegue created a nice animation who's working fine with Safari, Firefox and IE but not with Google Chrome, you can see it here :
Like you can see, the losange have to be between both V, but for google chrome, this losange is not a the right position.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi all,
When I Publish an animation, the 'x_edge.js' file hangs out outside of the js/ folder, even though I've specified that js files are to use a js/ subfolder. When I create a js folder and tuck the file in it, it breaks the animation. I hate having a loose js file in my website outside of a js folder. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!

Is it possible to get an open url to be clickable then not clickable after a few seconds, and if so how? Thanks.
Can Edge Animate creat full websites like Flash? Or is it only for content like headers, etc? Could I make a site like this? ---> http://www.ideator.ca/#
Lastly, how well does it work with SEO tools?
