Through trial and error, I determined it is possible to access html elements that are not contained in the Edge Animation.
So, right now I've got it so when a button is clicked, the Edge stage increases to set size (calculated, not dynamically, but manually based on the combined height of elements on the stage. My code is:
if (click2 == false){ click2 = true; sym.getSymbol('Option2').play(); sym.$('yes1').css({"cursor":"default"}); sym.$('Stage').animate({height: "1290px"},100, "swing"); var frameHeight = document.getElementById('column2').clientHeight + 300; $('#column2').animate({height: frameHeight},100,"swing"); }
I still think it would be nice if I didn't have to hardcode it as much, particularly since the Edge Animation could be set to responsively scale and may cause extra, unnecessary whitespace.
