ePub menu animation

[atracksler]

I have been trying for two days to get a menu to animate in and out like in the "Five Days from Nowhere" Adobe Sample -- https://indd.adobe.com/view/11958f5e-0b44-4073-a089-7d28d6ae49e6

The menu is on Page 5, it is triggered by the mountain and goes up and down... I cant seem to get it right.

I am using a MSO with an in and an out state.

I have a button to trigger the next/previous state.

When I test, it alternates between the two states, this is where it gets funky.

I cant seem to get the animation between the states to work.

Am I doing it wrong??

Is there an example to look at somewhere? I dont suppose Adobe has the indesign file of this to look at....

Thanks, ad

That’s not an MSO, IMO.

Looks more like an animation triggered by a button (the mountain). After it animates in, the button you click is set to reverse the animation.

BTW, looks to me like a no fill/no stroke button is being used here. You can see that by running your mouse over the area where the button would be after the animation brings it all in.

I just found this:

https://indesignsecrets.com/using-reverse-to-slide-in-and-slide-out-an-animation.php

It looks like the mountain is the same button to play and reverse the animation. How do you do that?

The indesign secrets has two buttons doing the open/close....

I think I figured it out with the show/hide button command.

Thanks.

And as long as your at it…go ahead and click on it.
