Create App That Upgrades

Hi.

I am a new user and want to know if I created and App with Saola Animate is it possible that I could create small packages of animations that could load into it after it has been published?

Thanks

Hi Deekay,

Saola Animate does not provide a built-in system for installing additional animation packages into an app after it has been published.

A Saola Animate package (.saolapack) is intended for transferring and reopening an editable project in Saola Animate. It cannot be loaded by the published HTML5 output. Similarly, an HTML Package must be imported before publishing and is included in the exported output.
If the app is hosted online, you could design it to display separately published animations from URLs, for example by using an HTML Widget. You could then update the content hosted at those URLs without republishing the main project. However, automatically discovering, downloading, and installing new packages would require custom JavaScript or functionality provided by the application that contains the Saola output.

Hi BR,

Many thanks for your reply. I have figured a workaround that I am very happy with and that is build in the animations but make them invisible to the user and they down load a passkey which when entered looks like the user has installed a new animation but it was really there all the time and they have only unlocked its visibility.

Cheers

Deekay
