Animate

I know that .swf is a format that doesn't work in most web browsers anymore because of no more flash player, but, when I use ActionScript 3.0 for an .fla document, I try to export and the result is an .swf file. I have no clue how to open this to work. I tried using the Flash Projector to make it work, but a button that I programmed does nothing. The button is meant to take the user to an external URL, but I either get an error message or nothing happens when I click on it. Why does this happen? Are there other .swf players that it will work on, or is there a different format I can export ActionScript 3.0 on? I cannot use JavaScript HTML because this is a college assignment. I have to use ActionScript 3.0

I have a dedicated object. How do I get its path and name in the library if the selected object is located in several folders in the library? I searched in the documentation but didn't find anything, maybe I just didn't notice the desired objectI was thinking something like this: fl.trace(fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].pathInLibrary) /*The output should be: 'LOGO/qwerTTT/asd'*/ 

I think after the MacOS Venture 13 update it's slowed down or is incompatible with Animate. I checked my specs and clean install the entire thing and it's still insanely laggy?

For some background, I am an absolute beginner with Animate's interface, but I use After Effects on the regular. My goal is exploring workflows surrounding importing/exporting game sprites while familiarizing myself with Animate's interface. For this little test, I'm importing individual animation frames of a character (they're .PNGs) in Animate, adjusting their timing, and exporting a .SWF Library for use in After Effects. My question is, is there a way to drag or rearrange the order of keyframes on the timeline without those frames overwriting other keyframes? I apologize, I'm not sure of the correct terms are for wording the question, so I've included my thought process: I've imported the frames onto a layer and "Distributed them to Keyframes." Each keyframe is an indivdual .PNG file. With this particular animation, I want to drag these three keyframes (see the highlighted selection in the timeline within the screenshot) between keyframes one and two. Anything past ke

I am trying to use the Adobe Support's online User Guide.  The web page is not displaying or working properly.  Any link I try returns to the same page. https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/user-guide.html I tried Chrome and Safari with the same results.  

when I insert audio and get to aroud frame 150-200 it just freezes my pc for a few seconds then closes the app, and also its never able to find my autosave.

Hello, my animate is successfully creating the auto recovery files for my project (sometimes) but when it does, it doesn't do so to the configuration folder in appdata, it posts them into a file recovery folder on another drive, this is bad because it's constantly at risk of being overwritten, how can i change where it autosaves to?

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"
