Animate

Hello,I am trying to export a spritesheet from a movieclip/object, and the preview looks great in animate cc;However, the sprite pivot / anchor looks off. The grid is asymmetrical. Which makes it unreadable in any other program so far as I know. It looks like it is trying to account for the cropping fromthe top left. I thought this might be due to the movieclip's anchor registration but I can confirm it is set to the center. And the animation is also center stage.And so when importing the sprite into Unity the animation's position is offset incorrectly due to the way the sprite is rendered ;I thought that sprites normally have a sprite pivot that is centered, like this;This symmetrical grid produces a fluid animation in any other program.I added a bounding box to the heart animation just to see where things are going wrong when it auto-crops the spritesheet and I believe the problem arises from this uneven extra pixel spacing around the borders of the object; No matter what option I ch

I programmed a drag and drop Game, with Canvas / Javascript, which works fine, on mac, pc, iphone, android but not on "Microsoft Surface Go2" with the pen. Is there any Javascript Workaround, which I can use?Can anybody help me, please.  

Hello,I've been having this problem since recent versions of Adobe Animate (since 2021 version) and I'm almost certain it's not coming from my tablet or other drawing devices. When I draw with a brush, the software calculates the line to make a vectorial shape, but for some reason, it displaces the whole object a few pixels on bottom-right on the canvas. Whether it be using the mouse or a pen, it always moves the line a few pixels, which becomes very tricky to draw precise shapes. The normal Brush just moves the line like I said, the Fluid Brush moves the whole canvas when I'm tracing the line, and goes back to it's position. But the problem remains the same.The straight line tool works correctly.  (there's an example in image below) Can someone explain why this happens? And probably how to fix it? I've heard a few simillar problems people got by having multiple screens, or having not well calibrated pen. But in my case, it happens only on Animate and isn't rel

Hi, I would like to animate an actual image of a person, mainly syncing their lips to an audio file. I have no idea as to how to do this in Animate and hope someone can offer guidance.  I have not been able to find any info on how to do this.TIA.

Hi, i've been looking around forums and I'm not sure I found  this problem i've been having: Basically I have a character that has body parts across layers which are parented. (Head > Neck, Upper Body > Hip, etc.). As soon as I rotate one of these parts, say the hip (with the torso) then try to apply a motion tween of 30 frames, it looks fine at frame 1 but at frame 2 and onward the parented object breaks apart or rotates somewhere else... Here is an example of a parented leg @ frame 1 vs frame 2 without moving anything. If anyone knows what this problem is I would appreciate the help, thanks! 

Hi! I want to increase a dropzone success detection area from html5 code.Teh working code is here: root.check = function() { var spot = slots.getObjectUnderPoint(pieces.target.x, pieces.target.y); if (!spot) { root.onMiss(); return; } root.slot = spot.parent; if (root.slot) { if (pieces.target.name === root.slot.name) { root.onMatch(); if (pieces.count === pieces.children.length) root.onWin(); } else root.onMiss(); root.slot = null; } else root.onMiss(); }; How can i extend the sucess area, so that you don't have to throw it exactly right to succeed?Thanx!

Hi guys! I just started using Adobe Animate, so new user here 🙂I wanna use some different brushes, but everytime I paint with a brush from brush library, Animate just lags and the message "adobe animate is not responding" appears, then I have to close it and open it again. It's really annoying and I have no idea how to fix this issue 😕😕My computer is new and I'm convinced this isn't a problem from the system, so I'm here to find out if this happens to anyone else and how this is fixed.  Addicionally, I'd like to know if there's any way to dowload presets for brushes instead of using Adobe's. I searched for it, but didn't find anything. Thank you for reading it!

I'm trying to make some chains in adobe animate but I couldn't think any other tool that would help me animate chains in symbols. So what would be the most efficient way to connect the chains with the bone tool?

Hi there. I'm new and naive to adobe animate and makes 3-4 min quick animations. I have a low end pc and animate seems to work fine i have adequate ram. and planning to make longer 10 min videos. i don't want to hung on time. so i'll update some hardwares i don't have a graphic card and i'm short on money. i've done some research and some sources are suggesting that adobe animate doesn't requires a graphic card for  2D animation. and on offcial site it just says open gl 3.3. now i'm confused if i should buy graphic card or just update my processor. please do help telling me if it requires a graphic card or not. i'll buy as per my needs.Even just Yes/NO answers would be helpfull and apreciated. thanks please do answer i'll be greatfull

Is there a command in AS3 the limits the duration of a video in a swf file? I have a scene with a size of 200 frames. When I want to play it in a swf file, I don't need to see the whole scene (200 frames), but a certain part (20-60 frames).

HiI worked on a animated Menu with petals. (https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/im-kreis-angeordnetes-animiertes-menu/m-p/1335285...)With some great help from kglad I got the menu to work the way I wanted it to.Now I would like to go one step further and put an animation in front, which finally leads to the flower menu. I thought I could put a lot of keyframes in front of the Scene1 and put in the opening animation there. But unfortunately I didn't manage it. Where should I start? RegardsChristoph 

I'm having a very weird issue where I can't open a specific file. If I try to open this file, the program freezes and doesn't load it. No error message appears, it just goes back like I never tried opening it. The file isn't corrupted as far as I'm aware because I edited and saved it just fine. Maybe the file is too big? But the animation is only 10 seconds?

Not sure if this is an error or a limitation of the free trial.I've downloaded the free trial of Adobe Animate and was especially looking forward to the fluid brush styles which imitate real world pen and crayon textures and such, but the brush style option isn't displaying on my UI at all. Under Color and Style only color shows. When I go to the brush library I'm told to double click art brushes to add them to the project. This does nothing.My computer is only a year old and has decent specs (I'm still on windows 10 however), so I don't think that's the issue. I'm wondering if it's because it's the free trial and some options are limited? This has made a very bad impression, if that's the case. 

Hello Again!I was wondering what these lines were in an animation I'm making? In the animation a rectangle expands from a smaller size, so the user can see it. It's meant to look kind of like a holographic screen?If someone could help it'd be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I've learned to use auto lipsynce and mine looka a bit choppy. I'd like to make my character's mouth to look similar to the character in this video. I did add a jaw layer and try to parent it to the mouth, but I'm not sure classic tweening would help or not. I know freestyle lipsync (drawing each frame) is a good suggestion, but Ireally want to learn more about using symbols and the mexhanics to make smooth animation with it. Thank you for any help.https://youtu.be/XCGdpO_DLT8

I have a night scene where the light from a lantern reveals small parts of the environment as the lantern sways.I was going to use a gradient oval shape for the light source. Adobe Animate mask doesn't work with gradients. This is a very easy thing to do in other animation software, but I am required to use Animate for this project. What workaround can I use to make this happen? Thanks

I have an animation of 25 fps - jpg. When I view this animation in the program (ctrl+Enter) everything is fine. When I export the animation to an EXE file the frames from about 180-250 flicker as if there are empty frames between them. My composition is set to 25 fps, if I change it to 19 everything is fine, but if I set the number of frames 20 and above the screen flickers always at the end of the animation. This is terribly frustrating.

I am having this compatibility issue in Animate between Windows and MacOS.I create this text layer with the mask in Mac OS. And then I open the same exact file in Windows. It has shifting position. It is the same thing when I do the opposite. I create this text layer with the mask in Windows. And then I open the same file in Mac OS. It is displaced.I tried these two files in both AnimateCC 2019 and 2020.

I have been using Animate for a year now, and when I recently switched companies, I installed Adobe CC on my newly assigned laptop and found the apps working well except for Animate. It hangs every time I run it. I have to shut down the app using the task manager and run it again. When it runs after a few tries, it will freeze at 80% during publishing to HTML5. The funny thing is, it got published the first time but would not publish again. I could make it run if I converted it to Actionscript but that would mean publishing to video only, and I need the output in HTML5 so I could add interactions. I tried installing older versions of Animate but the results were the same. My laptop is a Dell Precision with i7/32G/SSD1T and NVIDIA Quadro P1000 graphics.  Kindly help.

 Hello,Recently I've downloaded the newest version of Adobe Animate CC.Windows and elements are not displaying properly. Minimizing the window doesn't change anything. At first I thought it was just a bug on my pc, but no matter who I talk to the program looks the same. It could be the fault of the polish version. I wonder if there is a way to repair it somehow?
