Animate

At the moment I'm quite frustrated with some "features" of animate. First I had to learn, that motionguided layers wont get exported at all - converting to keyframes fixed the problem, but in my eyes isn't a very production-friendly solution. Then I realized, that some layers (not hidden, guided or anything else) wont get exported as well. In my case, I have a layer called "fader" which is simply a graphic-symbol of a white box fading from an alpha of 0  to 100. In the final export this layer isn't taken into account at all. Renaming (because I read somewhere that animate has "problems" with some keywords used as layer-names) didn't do anything good as well.  Nonetheless I'd be very thankful for any suggestions, that could possibly help me out.   

While working in Animate CC this morning it has taken it upon itself to close randomly while I am working.  The last two times it happened while I was using sliders working with gradients.  Does anyone have a similar experience. 

I am trying to use a very simple, single frame canvas element to dynamically display text from variables defined in a Javascript file.   This works fine if I call the function on the timeleine in the editor, but not when I call the same function on the page itself. Since the canvas is to be a blank container to display whatever JS content is connected, the function cannot be on the timeline (which compiles to the main Animate JS file)  On the web page I have a link to an external JS file <script src="PRODUCT1.js"></script>that contains this code: this.m_PRODUCT1=function() { exportRoot.PDisplay.title.text = t_PRODUCT1; exportRoot.PDisplay.copy.text = c_PRODUCT1; PP_URL = u_PRODUCT1; var p = new createjs.Bitmap(p_PRODUCT1); exportRoot.PDisplay.pic.removeAllChildren(); exportRoot.PDisplay.pic.addChild(p); }Which works fine when I place m_PRODUCT1(); on the editor timeline.I need to be able to call the function on the web page itself, t

Hi, I started using Adobe Animate about 5 days ago. Yesterday, I finished my animation and was able to export the video, but since it had no audio, I tried exporting it again. After that, Animate stopped responding and now I can't open the file or even open Animate itself – it just freezes and shows "Not responding."I’ve already tried freeing up storage, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, updating everything, but nothing works. I'm on a tight deadline and need to send this project today. Can anyone help me recover my file or get Animate to work again?Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am very new to Adobe Animate. I was just wondering how I could change the bounding box size on my imported PNG's. I've went through various other posts in this community and still dont fully understand what im doing. First I just want to say I know I can resize the images in my drawing program, but Im trying to animate a character, and resizing and piecing it all back together wouldnt be ideal. Is there any way to just change the size of the bounding box?  Heres the head bounding box size in Ibis paint, its the exact size of the layer: Heres the head bounding box size in Adobe Animate, its the size of the canvas I exported it from: What makes this worse is that every single layer has the exact same bounding box size, making it basically a nightmare if I wanted to animate it. Any help would go a long way.

Hello everyone! I'm currently new to using JSFL files. I was going to use them for my new animation, however, when I tried using it, it didn't do anything! I'm not sure if the file is outdated or what's happening but I need help with this problem.

Basically I have 2 helpers in movie, placed in Global scripts and they work ok unless I am trying to export  Video/Media and then I'm getting this:And these scripts exepctidly have no effect on the resulting video.Any possible workaround except copy/paste functions all over the timeline?

Heyy!! is there anyone that knows how to recover an animate file, when the auto-recovery was also damaged? Its happened out of the blue, and all my work got lost.

I need help, becuase everytime I replay my animation (without test movie) it lags all the time, and there is no way to fix it. Is there something wrong with my grpahics driver or storage?

I am using the latest version of Animate on Windows 11. I am having trouble controlling the camera when I have it settle at the end of a zoom. At the next keyframe, it justs about 2 pixels off of where I have it positioned. This is after I have the previous keyframe move at a Cubic Ease-In-And-Out, which only makes the jump more evident. I tried copying and pasting the previous keyframe in the current keyframe, and then the later keyframe, and neither one solves the issue.

Hey before I start just gotta say I'm a HUGE beginner with Adobe animate and have basically just only recently started using it so pls bare with me I'm trying to make my first animatic and am currently just doing simple sketches with the fluid brush tool and I like to do sketches with low opacity However whenever I draw it just all ends up sharing the same exact grey color rather than actually building up into the solid black colorDoes anyone know how to fix this?If you need any more info feel free to ask

So my animations lip-sync and movement at a point is glitching a lot, then it loops and isn't synced with the audio, here's a video if you need it. 

All - looking for some direction on the use of Oracle Java by Adobe in products such as Animate. The version is licenseable. With Oracle's recent change to an enterprise employee metric, how is this being addressed by Adobe or is there alternate Java products to use? A single installation of Adobe Animate (or another Creative Suite product that uses Java) could cost a significant amount of money for any organization. I have not been able to find any clear documentation on the web on Adobe's stance.  Any help or guidance would be extremely appreciated. 

I am trying to loop a movie clip symbol. I want the loop to start at a later point in the timeline so that the double-pulse plays once, then only one pulse plays for the rest of the duration. However, when I tried to code this in HTML5, the single pulse plays as a wave. The code is called in the internal timeline of the pulses on the last frame of the loop, which is a blank keyframe.  Here is the code I am using for the pulses:var _this = this; this.play(); if (frameLabel == 'SinglePulse') this.gotoAndPlay('SinglePulse') 

Hello everbody. I saw that other people have this problem too but so far there wasnt a solution. There are fonts which work perfectly fine with all the other adobe apps but not in Animate and its driving me crazy. For some reason Animate cant get the kerning right: In Indesign:In Animate:I am using a Mac with Sonoma 14.1.2 and Adobe Animate version 24.0. Why, is that and what can I do about it? Playing around with the kerning settings doesnt change anything.   

I wanted to use "Save As" in one of my projects, but nothing happened after I clicked it. The drop-down menu only dissapeared. And, when I tried to export one of my symbols as a PNG, that also did not work, as well as almost every button you can use. The only shot I have at getting them to work again is closing Animate, but then all my projects would be lost, because the Save As button was not working. What do I do?

I'm developing HTML banners for a client and when I input text the tracking is awful, and it's automatically doing it by default. The spaces between each letter are all over the place, When I use 'Dynamic' the text is set relatively correct, but once I break the type so it becomes a shape it instantly goes back to looking like it does when input text using static.I can't even reduce the tracking myself because some letters are much closer/further away than others. It's literally a mess. I've tried restarting/reopening. same result. Why is Animate CC handling my text so poorly?

The data size is always set to 99 KBs when it comes to saving data in my project that I'm working on. I'm using Flash CS6 and ActionScript 2.0. I don't want it to be more than 96 KBs. Flash CS3 does that too.How can I make the data size less than 96 kbs.Here's the code of the persistant data manager. to look at Please note that this is ActionScript 2.0: class sugar.data.PersistantDataManager { var _so; var _delayWrite; var _status = ""; var _frame = 0; var _delay = 0; var _cachedWrite = false; var SELECTED_SIZE = 90000; var MAXIMUM_DATA_SIZE = 96 * 1024; function PersistentDataManager() { this._so = null; } function loadSharedObject(pSharedObjectID) { this._so = SharedObject.getLocal(pSharedObjectID, "/"); this._so.onStatus = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, this.onStatusUpdate); if (this._so == null) { } } function onStatusUpdate(pStatusInfo) { this._status = pStatusInfo.code; switch (this._status) { case "SharedObject.Flush.Failed" : return

Bonjour à tous,je débute sur Animate et aurais besoin de votre aide svp.Mon objectif est de pouvoir créer animer rapidement et facilement des calques préalablement créés avec Photoshop ou Illustrator).Le nombre d'animations prédéfinies fourni au menu "présélections de mouvement" dans Animate est assez limité.Selon mes recherches et sauf erreur de ma part, il s'agit de fichiers de type XML personnalisables et pouvant être importés/exportés pour réutilisation. Après plusieurs essais, je n'arrive pas à en créer / personnaliser correctement pour les enregistrer et les réutiliser.Savez vous où je pourrais trouver d'autres fichiers de ce type à importer directement dans les menu "preselections de mouvement" svp ? Ou si un membre aurait partagé ses créations avec la communauté ?Merci à tous pour votre aide précieuse 🙂

I followed the tutorial twice and when I clicked "Test Animation" nothing happens. All I get is a blank screen. I went over painstakingly on the javascript steps but nothing improved. Can someone please help me? Can someone please show me what I am missing here? And can I move on?

I'm working on HTML5 ads, and I use the Open Sans font. Everything was working perfectly fine until Animate decided to mess around with the kerning on all my project files. I've already tried using the kerning option, checking and unchecking auto-kerning, and following all the suggestions I've found in different discussions about this issue, but nothing works... I'm completely lost. I just noticed that not all fonts have this issue; for example, Proxima Nova works perfectly fine. I'm working on a mackbook pro m3 pro, sonoma 14.2.1.  Can someone help?

i noticed this error before but when i encode an swf longer than a few minutes (i think so?) into mp4 using swivel, the audio cuts off after a while in the encoded mp4 file this never rlly bothered me but i feel like wanting to fix it now, so is there any way to fix this error?cheers

i'm trying to un-parent the right arm from the body of my character. i un-parented all the other layers from the body by clicking the line and selecting "remove parent", and it worked. when i press "remove parent" for the right arm, it literally just does nothing. im so confused.😭

This program is very cool, so why does it work so crookedly on macos)) The new version 24.9 works more stably, but there are still crashes. But now the most annoying thing is that I can't make a normal gradient from the colours I need. I can't pick up the colour, as soon as I take a colour for my gradient, it switches to another tool, it pipettes the wrong colour at all

I'm trying to animate something that is meant to be bendy but starts with a perfectly straight sprite. For consistency and my own sanity, I'd like the bones I want to set up with Asset Warp to form a perfectly straight line, down the middle of the sprite. Is there a hotkey or shortcut I can use to force the bones to be on a cardinal direction? In Photoshop, several tools (such as gradient) let you hold Shift to force the tool to operate on a cardinal direction (perfectly vertical or horizontal). Is there a way to do this with Asset Warp? Alternatively, once I've placed my pins/bones, is it possible to change where on the sprite a certain pin is? I don't mean manually dragging the pins around (as this would Warp the Asset, obviously), but actually changing the pin positions relative to the sprite so I could straighten out the bones?
