Can anyone explain how to get an Adobe Edge Animation into a D6 block? There's a nice D7 module for doing this, but nothing for D6. I've to hack it in by pasting the Animate generated html into a PHP filtered block but it doesn't work - I'm guessing because of Javascript conflicts. Any help would be appreciated.

not sure why the php input format in D6 wouldn't work. php input format shouldn't be blocking any code from running. pasebinnig the code may aid.

Well, I figured it out. Here's what I did...

  1. Published my project with the Web setting and added the generated files to my theme /sites/all/themes/[theme]/edge_suite
  2. From the generated html file, I added the metatag <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge,chrome=IE8"/> to the head of my page-front.tpl.php
  3. Added Javascript file <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/sites/all/themes/[theme]/edge_suite/intro_edgePreload.js"></script> to the head of my page-front.tpl.php
  4. Updated all the image and file paths in [project name]_edge.js and [project name]_edgePreload.js) ex. /sites/all/themes/[theme]/edge_suite/images/
  5. Copied the style code and div id="Stage" code to a new block - be sure to use a PHP filter or one that allows all code to pass through
  6. Added the block to my page
