Why doesn't Adobe Edge animation work after copying generated code into an html file in a different directory?

adobe-edge, animation, directory, javascript

Solution

My issue was displaying the animation in a div on another page. Any attempt to load the animation explicitly failed. I succeeded in resolving this issue by using the HTML object tag:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    <title>Banner</title>

</head>

<body style="margin:0;padding:0;">

<object data="animations/liferay/liferay-00.html" style="height:175px; width:100%"></object>

</body>
</html>

Do note I did NOT change any of my URL paths. All I did was point to the publish folder.

So if you still encounter issues try re-publishing.

Problem

I'm trying to keep all the files Edge generates separate from my main files. This is the html in the file it publishes: ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/> <title>Untitled</title> <!--Adobe Edge Runtime--> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="anim_edgePreload.js"></script> <style> .edgeLoad-EDGE-20819118 { visibility:hidden; } </style> <!--Adobe Edge Runtime End--> </head> <body style="margin:0;padding:0;"> <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-20819118"> </div> </body> </html> ``` I copied the code over to an html file outside the animation folder containing all the generated files and changed the directory of the JS file it's referring to. anim_edgePreload.js --> edgeAnimation/anim_edgePreload.js ``` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/> <title>Untitled</title> <!--Adobe Edge Runtime--> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="edgeAnimation/anim_edgePreload.js"></script> <style> .edgeLoad-EDGE-20819118 { visibility:hidden; } </style> <!--Adobe Edge Runtime End--> </head> <body style="margin:0;padding:0;"> <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-20819118"> </div> </body> </html> ``` The animation no longer appears on the page, any idea why? I get this error in Firebug after a few seconds: TypeError: AdobeEdge.okToLaunchComposition is not a function function edgeCallback(a){htFallbacks[a]&&(a=htFallbacks[a]);AdobeEdge.preload.got[a]=!0;if(a==AdobeEdge.preload.last)AdobeEdge.okToLaunchComposition(compId),AdobeEdge.preload.busy=!1,AdobeEdge.preload.q.length>0&&(a=AdobeEdge.preload.q.pop(),AdobeEdge.requestResources(a.files,a.callback))}
