Adobe Edge Animate

Adobe Edge Animate (formerly only Adobe Edge ) is a program by Adobe Systems, which provides a graphical interface to design and movement of objects on web pages. These objects can be animated 3 with the help of HTML5, JavaScript and CSS.

Publication

A preview version of Adobe Edge Animate was released in August 2011 on the platform Adobe Labs. Within the first 24 hours of the application has been downloaded 50,000 times.

After another preview versions the Preview Version 6 was published on 5 May 2012, which offers a number of innovations. For example, expanded opportunities were given to the internal code editor, and you can create reusable objects ( symbols). In addition, the browser - compatibility has been improved.

Criticism

Chris Coyier and Chris Mills criticized regarding the Release Preview 2 September 2011 that Adobe Edge Animate non- semantic HTML markup generated. Mills also wishes to add that the program almost an abuse against common web standards is ( Original: " [ ... ] Edge is a bit of an abuse of web standards and best practices, and Is not the best way to do things going forward. ").

With the introduction of Firefox version 14 in July 2012 Mozilla has changed its CSS implementation. This has the consequence that moving animations created with Adobe Edge Animate, from Firefox 14 will not work. Since the release of Adobe Edge preview 6.1 on July 25, 2012, this issue should be resolved.

Background

Adobe Edge Animate aims to facilitate the programming of complex animations and interactions of HTML objects. The web designer has the opportunity to work exclusively with the graphical interface of Adobe Edge Animate. The HTML and Javascript programmer can manipulate the properties of Edge objects with your own code on both the Code Editor and External JavaScripts.

Development as an alternative to Adobe Flash

Adobe Flash can be animated and interactive content on websites integrate. On mobile devices and operating systems such as Apple iOS devices, there is no native support for playback of Flash content. In order to be able to offer cross-platform development environment for Flash -like animated content that are run on both modern (mobile) browsers as well as on the popular Web browsers, Adobe decided for developing Adobe Edge Animate.
