So with the help of João and further testing we kind of think what causes the Over state not to work.   Simply put if you have a timeline of 6 secs, for example, with the camera on then the button has to to span that 6 seconds too (not even a frame less) so when it reaches the this.stop() frame that the over state doesnt disappear.   This is how I tested it...   Firstly, I created a new html5. On the first frame I create a button- test it and the over state works (obviously advanced layers is on for all testing). Then I turn on camera- test it and it still works with everything on one frame.   Next, I expand the timeline for six seconds and also the button spans for that full 6 seconds, with a this.stop() on the very last frame. I test it with camera on and off- the over state works as planned with it on or off.   BUT then if you move the first keyframe of the button onto the second frame so it spans shorter than the 6 seconds with the camera on then the over state works UNTIL you reach the this.stop() frame and it goes off!?!   Here is my test file... https://we.tl/t-vywu8kVUVC   See how if you shorten the button span by even 1 frame it will go off from the button over state on the last frame ( this.stop() frame)!   If I hide the button for full 6 seconds but make visible on the last this.stop frame then the over state works and maybe this is what I need to do to make it work for whenever I dont want/need a button to be seen.   Hopefully this helps anybody or they can give a better explanation or work around? ...

Ha ha I started to annoy myself with my asking! I just could never understand why Adobe didnt have Advanced Layers turned off by default! Thanks for looking at file and the conclusion for anybody else reading is that it is a bug that I will log.   ... View more

So I just reset preferences for 2021, uninstalled and reinstalled it then tried again from a brand new html5 file. The Over state in a button just wont work for me with Advanced Layers on (I switched it off to check and the Over state then works). ... View more

Hi João! 🙂   So this is Animate 2021 I just updated to see what it is like and thought I'd try the camera on this version (I usually do all my work on the more stable 2019 version and have it installed on this PC too). This is a new html5 file I created and no assets copied over, only an image that I dropped into the library.   When I turn off Advanced Layers the button Over state works okay but obviously the camera doesnt. I also tried it in 2019 version and still the Over state for the button doesnt show.   'Advanced Layers' is coming back to haunt me after all those times I asked people on here 'Have you turned off Advanced Layers?' ha ha!!!   Cheers   Greg   ...

I'm still getting mine, Nick! You must have gremlins! 😄 Hope you get (or you have already got) it sorted!   ... View more

Also to add to Nick's good book suggestion (you can never have enough) you could try 'Perspective Made Easy' by Ernest R. Norling https://www.amazon.ca/Perspective-Made-Easy-Ernest-Norling/dp/0486404730/ If you dont prefer the paperback version I think I read you can get the digital version online somewhere free.   Also, watch lots of YouTube videos on it (I'm saying lots as some actually get perspective and vanishing points wrong!).   But of course, as they all will say, practise, practise, practise. Doing stuff (while making LOTS of mistakes along the way) is how you truly learn what you have read/watched.   Good luck! ... View more

Hi, are you using dynamic text for the text and it is all one text box?  If so maybe try separate dynamic text boxes for the heading. But dynamic text can't 'bold' text in the middle of a bit of text- it is all one type (and why all your text is all the same as the heading text).  Plus dynamic text sometimes does not sit correctly in place on browsers. A major pain, as dynamic text is crisper quality than static text. You could use static text and place the text box x and y co-ordinates on rounded up whole numbers eg x = 5 and y = 8 (not x = 5.1 and y = 7.9). Hope this maybe helps. Cheers Greg ... View more

Hi, on last frame of movie clip instead of using   var _this = this; _this.joint1mc.stop();   you could just try   this.stop();   Let us know if that helps. Cheers Greg ... View more

Hi, I dont use this feature much but just thought I'd share my experience.   I editted an image from Animate in Ps recently. Whatever I was doing added another layer in Ps to the image I was editting. I saved in Ps- nothing changed in Animate. Then I flattened all the layers to one layer in Ps- saved it and it updated in Animate.  So maybe it is when more than one layer exists in Ps when saving?   It might not have been like this or always been like this but as I use it very rarely then this is what worked for me recently.   Hope this helps in some way. ...

Agree about Steve Kn...Jobs (I'm so mature!). There was nothing to the nonsense about bugs or hacking. Sometimes I have to convert our old courses to HTML5 but the originals just worked and looked great. SO much lost potential.   And agree 100% about the name Animate. I could fart and it would give me a better name. Flash still has a better ring to it in my opinion.   Anyway... ... View more

As Clay mentioned you have given each function the same name. You need to have each function named differently.   Try this (I have bolded and turned text to red to show what I added)...   this.stop (); this.buttonname1_btn.addEventListener ("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame1.bind (this)); function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame1 () {this.gotoAndPlay("target1");}    this.buttonname2_btn.addEventListener ("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame2.bind (this)); function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame2 () {this.gotoAndPlay("target2");}    this.buttonname3_btn.addEventListener ("click", fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame3.bind (this)); function fl_ClickToGoToAndPlayFromFrame3 () {this.gotoAndPlay("target3");} ...

The solution (for me anyway) is to uninstall 2020 and use 2019 (which is better than 2020 but not as good as...) 2018 (which is better than 2019 in my opinion- is a pattern emerging?) I'm not going to be all negative here about my experiences of 2020 (plus I am really busy to be problem solving etc) but, jeez, come on Adobe. I'm honestly concerned. ... View more

Good to know, cheers! Any suggestions/solutions that we might be doing wrong or is it possibly another Adobe update bug? To me if it worked in 2019 then it should hopefully work in 2020 and why I am leaning towards an update bug with this component. ... View more

Hi, I found this too. So (if you can) maybe Publish from Animate CC 2019 to see if it works again or in your HTML page change the script line <script src="https://code.createjs.com/1.0.0/createjs.min.js"></script>  to this line <script src="https://code.createjs.com/createjs-2015.11.26.min.js"></script> , as I am wondering if it has something to do with that?

Sorry, I don't think I have had this problem before. I had hoped the link I Googled might have helped. Have you tried clearing out Unused Items from your Library (this is just a guess but clearing unused clutter from your Library is never a bad thing NB just be careful you are definitely deleting items you wont need). To clear unused items right click anywhere blank in the Library panel and select 'Select Unused Items'. Then right click on this group of items and and select 'Delete'. Hopefully someone who has experienced this and resolved it can help you. ... View more

Hi, If it is the Pencil Tool you are using (you didnt say) then firstly, make sure Smooth is on. The Smooth option is in the Tools panel at the bottom when the Pencil is selected (you can have Straighten, Smooth or Ink). When you have Smooth selected you can change the Smoothing level in the Properties panel. If it's the Brush Tool then Smoothing is also in the Properties panel. Also I have a Huion and in the Huion control panel I have Support TabletPC ticked. This hopefully will help. Cheers Greg ... View more
