One of my client has asked me to create an Animation for his Digital Signage Media. He is running a fast food restaurant and want to run the animation. So that the user can interact with the menu and other stuff.
My Question is that " Adobe Edge created animations will run on Digital Signage Player ?"
That depends on the type of player. Adobe Edge just outputs an HTML(5) file along with the scripts required to run your animation- all in a single folder.

Is it possible to use Cromecast to just display a certain webpage without this page being mirrored from a device?
I want to show some data on a TV. I currently use a TV which is connected through an HDMI cable to a laptop which displays a powerpoint presentation. I want to replace this with a TV+chromecast connected to a WiFi network.
I'm able to initiate the process (entering url?). But I should then be able to leave the room/building with the TV just displaying the webpage.
It's seems fairly basic, but I can only find solutions to mirror things from a device.
If not possible with Chromecast, are there any other solutions?
Hi there...
I am having a query about how to publish in HTML5 format through flash.
I have a .fla file containg animation and Actionscript 3.0, when i publish it to HTML, it ask to download flash player in browser. But it is not necessary to have flash player in the browser while loading the .html file. So plaease guide me for the issue.
Thanks in Advance..
You're misunderstanding what the menu means by publish to HTML. This is simply publishing a SWF file and a corresponding HTML file that has HTML code to embed the SWF. This is not a cross compilation option. Those exist but that's not what you get in Flash CS5 by default.
If you're interested in Cross Compilation from AS3 to HTML/JS you can check out Randori and also projects like FalconJS:
http://blogs.adobe.com/bparadie/2011/11/19/what-is-falconjs/
I saw a talk about both of these recently in Chicago by some of the developers. They both seem like promising concepts (basically dodging the flash player).
The other option if you're trying to develop for mobile deployment is to package your code as an air installer. This will run your code on top of the AIR runtime (which has support on tons of devices, iOS, Android, Blackberry etc.), but this is not an in the browser experience, but rather a download the app type deal.
From what I got from the two developers (one from Apache Flex, one the creator of Randori) neither wanted to put too much trust into Adobe's platform given it's no longer supported on most mobile devices.
As an aside Adobe also has a product called Edge that allows you to do animation with a similar tool-set to what you get in Flash and exports HTML/JS/CSS. If you're not interested in AS3 or object oriented programming or type-safe languages cross compiling might not be the best option. I've personally been playing with AngularJS lately and been liking it due to the parallels with Flex, but there's a lot of great scripts/libraries/frameworks out there, if you explain a bit more of what you're trying to accomplish I can give more directed guidance.
I have two Flex applications that I am attempting to use to display the same video (one at a time, of course!). One of these applications is a web client that displays the video using a VideoDisplay. The other is an Air application that also uses a VideoDisplay to display the same video.
The web application displays the video without problems. hhe Air application displays a rather impressive screwed- up color display that does not even resemble the content of the video.
Is there a driver or something that is missing from my Air application? Curiously, I tried this same application on another machine and it displays the video! It seems to work on one machine but not the other. Both machines are running Windows 7.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Please advise...
I've developed a system that uses SWFUpload to easily allow the user to upload multiple files with a progress bar showing them the upload progress. It all works fine in my development environment, but is failing for some users in the wild with the Flash movie not loading. I can see the Flash movie is there, if I right click it a window appears saying Movie not loaded... (Then on the next line) About Adobe Flash Player 10...
So far I've not been able to determine what was causing the failure.
Are there any other alternatives to SWFUpload that will allow for:
Upload progress bar
Allow multiple uploads
Alternatively, any ideas on the cause of the SWFUpload issue?
Here are a few:
http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ (No flash required)
http://www.uploadify.com/ (jQuery)

I need to capture an image from a webcam (tethered camera, etc.) into a form or html5 canvas so that I can save the image to the server. Also, I would like to be able to preview the image live in the page.
For example, I have a browser running at a registration check in station. I would like to take a picture of the attendee currently standing in front of the table, and submit that image into the database. Then I can use that image to print the attendee's badge with their picture on it.
I'm using rails and paperclip, though I doubt that matters.
Anyone done this before, or have some ideas how to do it?
There is a plugin for jQuery entitled 'jQuery Webcam Plugin' that provides a friendly and easy way to interact with a webcam. It actually relies on a small flash component (unfortunately), but it does a great job of making the interaction easy - as well as providing functionality to copy imagery direct into an HTML5 canvas.
Again, it's unfortunate that it relies on Flash, but I think any reliable solution is going to need flash at this point in time.
The plugin is available here: http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/
At present, if you want to interact with a web cam from a web page you need to look at using a plug in. Flash has a mature interface to web cams, so it would be my first choice of tool.
There used to be a spec for native web cam support in HTML 5, but it has been spun out into its own, independent, specification. Currently there is no browser support for it outside of experimental Opera builds.
Android >=3.0 (on plenty of tablets and one phone soon) is supposed to support this. Searching for "html media capture" and "device api" will get you a lot more information.
On the not-even-alpha bleeding edge side, there are things like webrtc and the mozilla rainbow plugin.
