Animate

Hi everyone – So I'm kind of stumped on this one. I'm building this animated logo, and I want the "Q" in the middle to reveal itself...I set a mask to unveil the letter in a series of frames....and it operates correctly in the AA window. However when I export it out to HTML or an MP4, the mask doesn't function, all I get is this (i've attached a screenshot).Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've included the working file as well. Help would be greatly appreciated. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nZHEzVjAyo2FxTvBuP7ZlOn0ya5lB6a-/view?usp=sharing

Looking for file that was on the app

I tried out Clip Studio Paint and honestly the vector eraser that deletes partial line segments is amazing and increases my work flow drastically. It makes clean up feel extremely rewarding and fast, however I much prefer Animate CC's animation process and would like to see it intergated into Animate CC. I know it already has an eraser for whole lines and maybe simpler to impliment. I'd love to see it become a part of my favorite animation Software. Thank you!

My issue is a bit complicated, and i couldn't find anyone with a similar problem here:My Project has a lot of nested movieclips. The point is, you're supposed to be able to pick multiple options, which then have their own multiple options. For example, you can pick between the type of furniture, the size, and the color.   The hierarchy of the clips looks like this:   Each timeline has a short script with this.stop(); on a separate layer,In the main script each timeline has a gotoAndStop(); that specifies the "default" frame i want it to start on.It works fine by default, but when i try to select other options, the "default" returns to 0, and the next button i press makes everything play through their timelines once.I'm guessing that pressing the buttons overrides the stop() and gotoandstop(), but i don't know how to prevent that.Does anyone else know what to do?

I want to make an array of all the boxes on screen but it's also counting the mouse trails. This is the code I'm using which I don't understand in depth because I'm not an expirienced coder. How do I make it only count boxes, do I use an if statement? stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eee);function eee(event:Event){function getCircles(container:DisplayObjectContainer):Array{for (var i:uint = 0; i < container.numChildren; i++)if (container.getChildAt(i) is box){var array:Array = new Array();array.push(container.getChildAt(i));}return array;}blah.text = String(numChildren - 2)}

Hi, I swear if Fireworks were still around I'd already be done. I'm not a programmer, little experience with Animate, not even sure if this is the right application. I want to have eleven buttons, names of men killed in WWI on a plaque in my church, and when the user clicks on the button, the man's photo is displayed.  I can get Animate to briefly display the photo but not hold the photo until the next button click. Or the photo is stuck and won't go away. I'm really frustrated. I need to get this done for the upcoming anniversary of the plaque installation...any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In animation characters says things. How do you learn what characters says? What is that? I have searched after creative writing books. That books i saw doesn,t learn you that. I have created characters in Adobe Animate. I need to learn what characters says.

For someone used to the pre CC versions of Flash where you could make your own .mxp files to share using Extension Manger, the way to do the same in Animate CC2020 is not as clear. It's .zxps now, sure, so is the Adobe Exchnage program the only way in which to package and distribute .zxps? If so, is it possible to distribute privately rather than for sale or free public access as an individual Adobe Creative Cloud account subscriber?

I have a jsfl command that I run a lot of times and it clogs up the history panel. Is it possible to make the command not displayed in the history panel or grouped into one (the same way moveSelectionBy works)

so, when I try exporting my file in h.264 format (mp4) I get an error message when I start the cue, i get this message: adobe media encoder failed to encode with the following exception: App.getscriptenginename is not a functionplease help I need to export a video with a transparent background so I can't just screen record it anymore

Hello,Export Movie has an export bug where all png exports are off by -1px or +1px in either the width or the height, sometimes both. but never the dimensions it's set to with a bounding box in Animate. I export everything with pre-set bounding boxes (ex: 600px x 800px) on a much larger canvas (ex: 3000x3000) with a 0.1px stroke at 10% opacity for each bounding box to preserve the aspect ratio for sprite development. I then remove the transparent pixels in photoshop with a batch trim. After doing this they are always off by 1px in W or H. So the size I choose in Animate CC does not match the export it spits out after removing the transparency. It is not a photoshop bug, it is an animate one.My guess is that it has something to do with the animate's conversion from pixel decimals and how it rasterizes the vectors of strokes. I was wondering if anyone knows a work around for working with large transparent sprite sheets like this in Animate CC. I feel like i've tried everything;- Using a

I am a very inexpirenced coder using Actionscript 3.0 in keyframe. What is a way to make it so the code below repeats until I unclick? 

my friend uses the brush with the smoothing setting all the way down, because it doesnt make animate edit his lines after he's drawn them. however, when i do it with the same settings adobe makes my lines extremely wobbly, even though my strokes are as smooth as his. this wobbliness gets worse the more zoomed out i am, like its just guessing where my cursor was. ive already tried restarting my computer and driver and all that, so i have no idea how to fix it. 

I set custom keyboard shorctuts to "W" + "E" (W=move frame forward, E=eraser). However sometimes they don't work and 50% of the time the shorcuts bring up either the "Window" (when I press W) or "Edit" (when I press E) menu.  I've searched and searched but can't seem to find a solution.   Im on a Windows 10 machine with a Cintiq 24"  

I have Adobe Animate 23.0.1 and trying to export Video/Media with encoder. I get an error when exporting The rquirede version is not installed or damaged. I have encoder installed??? I remove it, install and try again... I get the same issue..

I dislike the way it looks.before anomaly (smooth lines)after anomaly (bitmap, pixelated lines) thank you for your time, please help 😓

Hello everyone. I've updated Animate this morning as Creative Cloud suggested and there must be a bug...I cannot publish my HTML files in the folder I chose nor with the name I gave. After publish the files are appearing to other folders and with the name of the FLA file.I'm no noob with computers so I tried restarting my PC and programs all over, filing system and filing names. Nothing. Please shed some light here so I can do my work properly.Thank you in advance.

So I've been having this issue since at least 1998. I'm astounded that Adobe's been able to let unfixed design flaws and bugs drag on for so long, and try to cash in on old software by just slapping a new name on it. Animate is one of them, and I have quite a list of unfixed problems it still has after 20 years. I think the devs are afraid to touch the code, and the higher ups just don't care, unsurprisingly, hence the cash grab. Correct me if I don't understand this one correctly, but say you have a fill that was selected on a layer. You lock the layer, select a different color, and then unlock the layer. Is it supposed to automatically fill that layer with the currently selected color?  This is a really destructive flaw that makes me lose work and waste time, as this can sometimes occur without realizing. Unlocking a layer shouldn't assume it should be filled, even if it was previously selected before it was locked.  Please see attached video for demonstratio

I am working on an animation, and I want to show work in progresses of the sections I have animated. However, the only way to export video/media with audio is by clicking "Entire movie" instead of being able to select the frames I want in "Scene". The movie exports with the specified frames, but the audio is not present. My audio sync is currently set to stream, so it should by all means be functional, but the clip keeps downloading as silent. This method has worked for me in the past, so I don't understand why it's doing this now. I have restarted my computer and by extension, the program. I cna't think of how else to fix this.

"The import did not finish because an unknown error occurred" shows up when I import my photshop files text to a vector outline in Animate cc. I've worked with psd files in animate for years and now it causeing me to have this error if there is any text in my file.
