Hi - I thought I’d try and get a Hype animation into a page just to see how its done - I’m using the beta Hype actions (x2) but have had zero results - I tried following the instructions but still no go.
Please help you’re my only hope

I haven’t tried Paul’s actions yet, but I did use Walt’s Crowbar to insert the html Hype generates onto the page instead of a Markup item. The reason was to prevent the dreaded
tag being added as I wanted the animation content to be inline.
Make sure that your path to the resource folder created by Hype (and that you have copied to your server) is correct in the inserted code fragment.

Is the problem with Hype or getting Hype to work with Freeway? I assume the latter.

Hype animations can definitely be used in Freeway, yes. But because it is code created outside of Freeway there is the need to properly insert the code into a Freeway page. It points to the animation files that Hype creates which are in their own resource folder. The trick is to make sure the resource folder created by Hype that contains the actual animation files is uploaded to your web server and that the url path to those files is correct.
Hype generates an index.html page that contains a path reference, but only a small part of that page needs to be copied to your Freeway page. The code fragment must be copied to either a Markup item if not to be used inline, or a Crowbar item if it is.

Did you create the animation_Resources folder within your FW site at the same level as the page which has the Hype Object action on it. The Hype Object action should have its selector pointing at the Hype created resources folder.
Within the FW folder ‘animation_Resources’ there should be 1 page with an instance of the Hype Support action on it with the action selector pointing at a JS file in the Hype created resources folder. This page is purely there to ensure that all the Hype files are uploaded to the server for you into a correctly named folder - it has no other function.
To sum up
1 page with Hype Object action on it.
1 Folder named the same as the Hype resources folder - in that folder is a page with an instance of the Hype Support action on it. And at the same level in your site as the page with the Hype Object action on it.

Thanks guys
David yes this what I have done - the folder called animation_Resources is in the same folder where the page is that I have added the Hype object? Correct? Is that what you mean by same level?
There are two Js files? Does it mater which one I point too?

The javascript file that starts with “untitled” (or whatever you named your animation) is the one the code is pointing at. The file labeled HYPE.js is the animation engine and has to be present also but is handled from the “untitled” script. The code generated expects to see find the “untitled” javascript file in the animation_resources folder, and that folder should be at the same level on your server with the page.

HI,
this page shows the page layout in your Freeway document:
http://www.actionsworld.com/Actions/HypeSupport/usinghypesupport.php
This screen shot shows how your pages & folders should be arranged:
http://www.actionsworld.com/Resources/pagestructure.jpeg
Pictures - this is the page where your Hype animation goes. Draw the Hype Object Action on this page
photos_Resources/
Hype Support Page - put the Hype Support Action here.
It doesn’t matter which .js file you use - just choose one - the Action will do the rest.

Justin - your page is looking for this file http://easthalldesign.com/animation_Resources/animation_hype_generated_script.js?46972
And it is not there!
Have a look in your server with your FTP client and see exactly what files are in the animation_Resources folder.

Also be aware that everything is CasE SensItiVe. That may mean changing filenames in Freeway OR Hype. It should all match up.

If it is referenced in your doc then it should be in your Hype created ‘animation_Resources’ folder.
All files in that folder are uploaded via the Hype Support action and placed into the corresponding FW created ‘animation_Resources’ folder.
Have you looked in that folder on the server to see what is there?
