Start of the Animation

Adobe Edge;

So it has been a week since the Mark 1 Presentation and in that time I have managed to finish the design for the cake shop and I am ready to start the animation process to allow for colouring in.

The first step of this process though starts in Illustrator not Edge.  First of all I had to go in and manually select each part of the cake shop and insert a piece of coding in the svg interactive menu, I had never coded in Illustrator before and even though it was one line it still surprized me that Illustrator had a section had coding but then again for the case of SVGs it did make sense.

Once I had done this, luckily for me I didn't need to save each part seperately I was able to just do a simple copy and past into Adobe Edge.  Now that this was in Edge I needed to go to the edgedocks website to get a link to the edgecommons where the jquerry I needed to get the colouring in working and then the fun part of the coding began.

Although I managed to get it to work I noticed a few issues that were obviously arrising due to the fact that Edge was no longer getting updated or maintained anymore and I sometimes stuggled to get onto the application itself.  I would of switched to animate cc which might of been easier to do but I had never used it before and was worried that it would take too long to learn.
