I have the same issue. Images are just not showing up in multi-state objects when uploaded on the Adobe server for preview.

I am having the exact same issue and it makes it difficult to use States as desired when the animations won't play. I would really rather not have to make a page for each state because it does not flow as well and then I have a million pages to deal with. It would be great if this could be fixed. Especially since this issue has clearly gone on for years now.

Hi there, we are having this issue in the Indesign 2021 (16.update) when it was working fine for us in the 2020. Need this fixed asap for our client. We are only finding this issue occur when it is an animation for a multi-state object. We have tried the animation occurring on page load and on click with no luck.

It seems this bug has been forgotten as it was reported one year and a half ago.

This bug is a major obstacle when you create interactive epubs! Basically my project ideas cannot be realised due to this bug.

Please give as an update! Thanks!

Hi
I have the same issue with cc 2018, cc2019 & cc2020.

Any scope for a solution?

Hi Aman,

This is great news. Thank you for the update.

InDesign CC 2019 14.0:

I have a 4 state multi-state object. Each state has a full-screen image with a text title and description which animates in (Fly-in from top) for each state upon load. Left/Right buttons control the interactivity.

However, when I add an animation to the text title/description in State-1 it causes the full-screen image to not load and the test/description text doesn't appear either. (Tested in Indesign in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and on iPad/iBooks)

When testing it in the EPUB Interactivity Preview panel and I go to State-2 using the buttons and then return to State-1 the image loads and the text animates as planned.

Why won't the animation show when State-1 first loads? I attach the EPUB file as it won't allow to attach a InDesign test file.

Thanks,

Eoin
