Hi Everybody! So I've decided on buzz touch I've mocked up a few apps in dreamweaver and I'm hoping its easy enough to get my HTML on here. Does anyone have any advice or could point me in the right direction when it comes to building apps inside off buzz touch using HTML. P.s. Can I use things like CSS transitions and adobe edge animate compositions? Be sweet if I ca :) Keep it mobile! Nat

I just got adobe edge and can't wait. Put your code in the html 5 plugin source page not the editor and place css in the assets folder. I have not done this personally but have inquired about it in the forums. I just got adobe edge and can't wait to work with it. What version of dreamweaver are you using? I ask because 5.5 and 6 have phone gap built in and jquery. If you want to use jquery also use the assets folder in your project. Welcome aboard http://bodaciousmedia.com Joe

Hey Thanks for that, that sounds awesome! I've got creative cloud so cs6, I was using phonegap but it only lets you make apps up to 9.5mb which is a bit restrictive. I'll try adding some edge and jquery to buzz touch today and post my results ;) Mucho grasias amigo!

Hi Natnarman you can build your BT apps using html/css. I do all the time. I tend to use the custom url plugin and host my files on my server, but you can use the html doc plugin as mentioned above. Enjoy the journey, I know I did.

Wow some talk about Adobe Edge! I've got it and trying to find the time to train myself. Joe - Edge REFLOW was also just released to make Responsive Design. I can't decide which one to start with first. Thinking REFLOW because I'm brutal at animation, my early attempts at Flash were very amateur. Really need more responsive design anyway, you can't beat a cross platform html page to make quick apps. HTML, CSS is going nowhere and CSS3/HTML5 are KEY in App development (and the real secret to responsive design). Nat - my associate uses Tumult HYPE and we just got these working happily in BT projects. If you need help, post up. It's just copying files and makign sure the paths look ok in the HTML base document that calls the js and other scripts/tools, etc... Dying to visit Macchu Picchu someday. I have been to Chichen Itza and saw the serpent tho!

Hey Guys Thanks for this - no joy as yet :( I've actually started making the app in Edge Reflow, then opened it in Edge Animate, did some simple animations for the logo and added in HTML video playback. It works fine in the browser and reflows down from tablet to phone nicely. @Dragon007 - My app contains about 50mb of video so i want to have it all stored locally, any ideas how i can achieve this using either the HTML 5 or HTML Doc plugin? Will its work with my .js files? @ATRAIN53 - Just dloaded hype will give it a go now, how do you add it to buzz touch then? I'll be going to Machu Picchu when this apps out!! Thanks! Nat

Hey @Bodacious Media, i'm using CS6, when you say put the code in the assets folder, do you mean the BT_Docs folder or the BT_Pluggins>bt_screen_customHTML folder?? Nat

I just reistalled my operating system on my mac. i have to download a project from my self hosted to give you an answer. Let me go back and check some of my forum post for the info I got . Be back with answer in 15-30 minutes Joe

It is the BT_Docs folder. Sorry for the confusion Joe

Ok cool i'll do that now and tell xcode not to compile the .js, check the paths and hopefully it will be working! Fingers crossed for the 100th time anyway :)

still not working :( i copied all the files, edge_includes (folder) > edge.1.5.0.min.js images (folder) video (folder) index_edge.js index_edgeActions.js index_edgePreload.js into BT_Docs then removed the ones i could see from targets build phases compile sources list and i just get a blank app :( how are you doing it with your html and .js files? Nat

remember I said that I had not done this but provided forum information that I was given. I am now going to get you the strings to look at the correspondence. There are a few people i am going to turn you on to that know way better about the html aspect. sorry for the confusion.Hold tight Joe

https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=F626A52990C310F2E83161A&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=&createdBy=bodacious%20media&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= there are a couple guys on this thread that might help. ATRAIN53 is one of them. For jquery I was told the BT_Docs was the place for source. If you use the advanced forum search for html and css you can find some answers. I read my earlier post at the top to make sure of what I said. I did not mean to imply that I had used edge as of yet. I was just jazzed because you have it and I am starting to work with it. I have seen plenty of stuff on html just search the forum. My work is all in android for now. sorry dude

brutal. Looks like you've been at it for a bit. I'm surprised this just doesn't work given the great relationship between Apple and Adobe..... but a little digging shows you're not the only one having issues with Edge and iOS- http://forums.adobe.com/message/4727356 most of the solutions there discuss a web view. believe it or not, BT code is all standard viewcontrollers. they just subclass the UIViewController - which is how it passes JSON data to your source code. you'll understand if you keep hacking at it. it's powerful stuff. so if you open that BT_htmlDoc.m you'll see a lot of methods and code in the that launches the webview in a BT app. it looks like one might have to build a plugin that launches a webview with this method from that post folks use. - (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView { [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"window.requestAnimationFrame = window.setTimeout;"]; } you could try try dropping that method in the BT_screen_blank which is a blank viewcontroller. because you can't make a new plugin if you're not a member. but there are workarounds like that screen. never easy right? tumult hype seems to work with ios. i've recently tested it in android. have used lots of jquery and js in apps in that BT_Docs folder with no problem. i'd really have to hack at it to make it work, might be a good topic at BuzzCon? how many other BT folks are using Edge? maybe something here helps?

Hey Thanks for that, that sounds awesome! I've got creative cloud so cs6, I was using phonegap but it only lets you make apps up to 9.5mb which is a bit restrictive. I'll try adding some edge and jquery to buzz touch today and post my results ;) Mucho grasias amigo!

Hope you're having some luck? If not when #buzzcon13 is over I'll try and revist this. also check this blog if you're into phonegap- http://coenraets.org/blog/2012/12/phonegap-and-phonegap-build-in-5-minutes/ Some fun tutorials there I plan to dig into when I get more time.

Hey NatHarman, You may or may not know that there is a UK Buzztouch Meetup group that I run in Oxford. There's another one running in a week or two's time. I haven't decided on a date yet, but here's a little decision poll to help me decide on a date: http://doodle.com/ripsqzuwfe59hgn3 If you want to come, that would be fantastic. We basically talk about Buzztouch and what projects are looming around in our minds. Another guy from Cardiff (or somewhere near there) comes to our meets, so there's someone local you could get to know!

Hey Guys, No luck with the video loop problem i ended up hiring a someone on oDesk to complete the app, i'm just waiting to test it so fingers crossed :) Then i'll just have to figure out how to port it to Android. @Annadale Apps - sounds good if i can find the time, i've got 22 apps in development at the moment and its just me doing it - cant wait to finish and submit them all!! i'll be booking a holiday!
