How do I add AE engine to a standalone to make things work like they do in my pre-standalone?

The AE stack needs to be available in your standalone, either as substack or by opening it during runtime. Make sure to issue 'start using stack "animationEngine"', and then it should work.

Hi bjoernke,

Great to hear from you again.

I can't use AE as a substack because I get an error that says it is password protected.

Is there any way AE can be used with a standalone?

Thanks, Max

Hi Maxs,

When exactly do you get this error? If you get it when you build the standalone, make sure to select components for inclusion with the standalone manually. You can change this setting from "search" to "select" on the first pane of the standalone settings.

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks.

I tired to move the whole stack into the app. That was my mistake.

I took your advice, and selected "select" in the 1st window pane. Then I selected 'animation'. But the animation still does not work. I must have missed something. Max

Maxs,

You didn't answer my question. When exactly do you get the error?

Animation Engine can be a substack of the mainstack of your project. There are other ways, but this is probably the easiest way.

The Animation option in the standalone settings is something else. You can ignore that.

Best,

Mark

Hey Max,

this should not be a problem at all. Make sure you have your mainstack and AE open.

Open the messagebox

In the messagebox type:

set the mainStack of stack "animationengine" to "nameOfYourMainStackGoesHere"

save your mainstack

AE is embedded now. Make sure you have a start using stack "animationEngine" somewhere in an appropriate place like openstack e.g.

In your mainStack

on openStack
start using stack "animationEngine"
end openStack

I also covered this topic in the FAQ:

Hope that helps,

PS: I am curious what you have done with AE, so if you would like to show something I'd be happy to take a look.
