Was building an interface for a trouble-shooting ap for a piece of equipment. The dream was that at any step in a flow chart you could select/touch a step and learn more information.
Adobe Animate seemed like it would be perfect for something like this.
However, now it was asked of me if you can do that, why can't you just jam the whole technical manual in there? For example, the guy wants to learn more about a particular step, he'd click/touch that step and up would come that section from the operator's manual. Would be cool, but wasn't sure how you'd go about this.
While I was initially thinking laptop, assume that this would be a mobile ap.
First of all I guess the question would have to be asked if Adobe Animate was the right tool for the job, or is there another approach that you'd recommend?
Right now the manual is a framemaker file, which I know can export responsive html content. I was picturing using Adobe Animate to load in and out these html files at the user's whim, but am wondering if I'm trying to get animate to do something it wasn't intended to or if this is completely off-base.
Any insight would be great.
Or if anyone had seen any tutorials or information online that talked about what I was trying to pull that would help as well.
You would have to use Adobe AIR (part of Animate CC) to make this app.
AIR has a HTMLLoader
This class is somewhat outdated, so it could be that your frammakerexported html files are not rendered properly.
You should install the trialversion of Animate to check this out first.
