    I just opened the logo-1.html and watched it long enough to see the same problem. 😉

    Have you also seen the other problem?
    Where the animation (OAM file) won’t import via the plugin because it is an animation that does not use a preloader.

    Thanks for the background info. It is great to know. As you might guess, I scanned through the plugin file code yesterday. It looks complicated but thorough, and well documented (comments).

    I tried importing one of my simple animations again, and got it to work (imported via the plugin, runs on the page). You can see it at: http://es-test.sfwebfoundry.com/

    The following was part of the confirmation message after the import:
    “Auto detection of stage dimensions failed: Unable to spot stage variable.”

    But there are 2 quirks / problems:
    1) After the first run through of the animation, it doesn’t show the first half any more.

    2) When I originally created the animation, it did not have a preloader or a downlevel stage. Even with the es5 version of the plugin, an import failed with a missing preloader.js error. I updated my animation, adding in a preloader, and now it imports correctly. I have realized that this is what prompted me to try commenting out the preloader.js check in one of the plugin files.

    I am not sure what problem #2 means for the plugin. But it is interesting that previous versions of Edge Animate created a preloader.js file, whether you needed one or not.

    If anyone wants to play around with my original animation (without the preloader) you can grab a copy of it at:

    @timm – it was an experiment. 😉

    I was thinking:
    if Adobe removed the preloader.js file;
    and the plugin will not import an OAM without the preloader.js file;
    then remove the restriction in the plugin code and see what happens.

    I have switched the plugin code back and am testing it as is.

    Thanks James. I moved the post over to the tight spot.

    Hi Timm,

    I have MAMP running locally, as well as my own hosting account for development sites. I am a hybrid web designer and front-end developer. Love animate, WordPress, and am not afraid of code. And to make things more fun I usually add Genesis into the mix.

    I have some test WP installs and simple animations that I have been working with. And have been starting to try to reverse engineer a manual installation of an EA animation.

    I am here to help, what do you need me to do?

    Thanks for all your hard work! This is a great plugin.
    ~ Wayne
