[Locked] .OAM file works In Dreamweaver application but not in web browser.

I have an Adobe Animate file that I have converted into a OAM. file to insert in Dreamweaver. Although the animation works and plays in the Dreamweaver application, it does not show in a browser. When I open the html file in my root folder it shows but it doesn't play/work.

      I just tried my code again, and presto. Please see https://pleysier.com.au/r29 and hover over the image.

       

      Personally, I would not use the animation that you have created, for two reasons, namely

      • touch screen do not recognise a mouse-over/hover event
      • the image is much more efficient when created using CSS only

      And you can spin the heart with CSS animation.

          Your animate project should be an HTML5 Canvas document.

          I have no interest in getting untrusted files from dropbox on my computer.  For quickest help in this forum, please upload your HTML page and dependant files to your web server so we can test it online with our browsers and development tools.   When you say it won't work in a real browser, I have a feeling Real-Time Preview is getting in the way.  But I can't be certain of that until you upload to server for online testing.

          Hi Nancy!

           

          My website is pretty blank because I really just want to figure out what Animate is capable of in Dreamweaver and make things work before I start to actually make the website. I'm also just getting back into Dreamweaver so when you say I need to upload to server for online testing do you mean I need to go on godaddy.com and finalize the website? The animation is made on HTML5, the button works in the Dreamweaver app but not in a browser. 

           

          in dreamweaver. (animation/button works with mouse over)

           

          Preview in any browser will show blank/nothing. Animation is stagnant when html file is opened in root folder.

          Unfortunately, your screenshots don't tell us much. The answers are in your code and I can't see it because it's too small. 

           

          Live view is a Chrome rendering engine.  So if it works in Live view, it should work in local Google Chrome or Firefox.  Right-click on the open tab and select Open in Browser.  In case you're wondering, I do this to bypass Real-Time Preview.

           

          If would still be best if you upload your work to your hosting server (GoDaddy or whatever) so we can see it online from our browsers.

          Thanks Ben!

           

          Unfortunately for me, the animated composition only works in live view or split view in the Dreamweaver application. It does not work in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome. 😞

          Unfortunately, we cannot see what you have done to make the animation misbehave; I have come across this as well when the problem was caused by me.

           

          Suggest you create a new document with only the OAM file included. If that also does not work then show us the code of the document by either uploading to a remote server or by pasting it into a post in this forum.
