Animate

So I finished a 70+ hour project in Animate and exported the file from .fla to .h264 (mp4). Then I noticed a mistake and went back to change it only to find my original file empty. Also, the recovery file seems to be empty too. Is this what happens to Animate files when exporting? Permanent data loss? Seems rather dangerous for a simple function that had no warnings this was about to happen. Please help. 

In Animate 21.0.3, when I try to use the Anchor Point tool to work on the motion tween, the program shut out. Otherwise,  I will get an error message: "The current layer XXX is either locked or hidden. Would you like to unlock and show this layer?" All these two feedbacks were other that successfully delete the anchor on the motion trace. 

Adobe Animate 2019 won't open on my computer. I can open anything from 2022-2022 but 2019 isn't doing the trick. I tried troubleshooting, i think resetting prefences and unstalling the local files. is there anything i can do?I'm on Windows 11 12th Gen i5 Intel with 8GB Memory. Is it too old?

Hello.I have a problem with the sound in Adobe Animate. I have a sound clip on 8 minutes and I have improted it to the stage but right now it's only one minute long because I've dragged the frames. Is there a faster way to make the sound clip longer than just dragging the keyframe? Or is there a way to import the sound and then it's 8 minutes right away? I hope you can help. 

Hello,I'm creating a winter ecard with a snow globe. I use Adobe Animate and need to export it as HTML5 Canvas. So actionscript is not working. Inside the snow globe it should snow. Is there a ready snow animation, which one I can use and where I can change only the symbol (snowflake). There are several scripts for snow, but since I only want it to snow inside the snow globe and not over the whole stage, I don't think that's possible, isn't it? I have now created a mask and would like to arrange a finished snow animation below the mask. That should work, right? Can anyone help me?

Hello fellow animators,I've recently installed Adobe Animate on a virtual machine (Windows Home 64) and every time I try to use the brush there, it only leaves a single dot, it's very rarely possible to draw a line, it looks like a huge lag problem. I'm not using any tablet, just my mouse. Anyone had that problem and could point me in the right direction?I've already tested the virtual machine with other software like Gimp, and drawing works fine there. I reinstalled drivers for a touch pad/mouse. I've reinstalled Adobe Animate.

I used to be able to Browse the Output folders in the split function and select a very specific Network folder for the split PDF files to save to. One day, I no longer could select that folder. Is there a way to add folders to the Browse window in the Output Options? Could my company's security software or settings prevent me from putting files in a specific folder?

I have 10 - 15 bats and I would like them to avoid (move away) from the mouse cursor.Do I need to create separate symbols from each bat?Also which AS3 code I need to use to achive my goal?Example: https://codepen.io/richimgd/pen/XWJmmGKThanks a lot in advance guys 

why is the anchor point on the top of the brush?When I try to move it the shoulder (the top of the brush) moves because of the anchor point being there.I want to move the anchor point to the green dot without modifying the looks of the brush.

I wanna use some older versions of adobe products I own the CC do I need to buy something else?

Hello, I haven't touched Flash a  very long time now. I just needed some help in this because my friend told me do illustrator and animate at the same time.How do I save a drawing that is outside a canvas? Before in the old version of adobe Flash it has an option to save outside the canvas. Right now this version can only save what is only inside the canvas. Is there any advice how to save selected drawings into a PNG. How do I resize a drawing? When I resize a drawing it sometimes lock the size of the lines. When I resize the character to small the lines remain size 1X but it still remain thick. When I resize to Big the lines is very thin still 1X. How do I adjust them at the same time?

Hallo miteinanderIch möchte gerne ein HTML5 Menu umsetzen welches wie folgt aussieht: - 5 Menupunkte werden als Blütenblätter dargestellt, welche im Kreis angeordnet sind.- Onmouseover über ein Blütenblatt soll das Blat vergrössern lassen.- Alle anderen Blütenblätter "schrumpfen" bzw. sollen sich verkleinern.- Onmouseout lässt das Blütenblatt wieder verkleinern bzw. alle Blütenblätter werden wieder auf den Urpsungszustand zurückgesetzt.Ist dies möglich? Wo muss ich ansetzen? Vielen Dank und freundliche GrüsseChristoph

Whenever Adobe Animate is not responding for a certain amount of time, it causes my pc to freeze. I don't know why that happens. My computer is only 1.8 months old, has 1.75 terabytes of free space and is running at an average speed. Is it because of a virus or something? How do I prevent my pc from freezing when Adobe Animate is not responding?

I want to use an old version of animate (Flash) anyway to do that in 2022?

Hallo Ich kenne mich gut mit InDesign, Photoshop und Illustrator aus. Neu möchte ich in Adobe Animate arbeiten.Wie kann ich Elemente von InDesign in Animate importieren. Am liebste wäre mir das ganze Dokument inkl. Ebenen. So wie ich das im Internet gelesen habe, war das bis CS5 möglich, wenn man das InDesign Dokument als FLA exportiert hat. Das scheint mit der neusten InDesign Version aber nicht mehr möglich zu sein (FLA oder XFL stehen nicht mehr als Exportmöglichkeit zur Verfügung). Auch copypaste funktioniert nicht (erkennt Format nicht) Hat jemand eine Lösung? 

I'm trying to loop the timeline a few times and stop. All the help files I have found so far do not work. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm looking for a useful Animate CC API for Canvas output.  Looking for something like the very useful Edge API at:Adobe Edge Animate CC JavaScript API  Does one exist? Am I missing something?

Hii so i'm creating a rotoscoping project for a school assignment using animate but i am having trouble importing my video into the timeline. The video format is .MOV and I have selected “embed H.264 video in timeline (design time only - the video cannot be exported)”. Once I have pressed “browse” and have chosen my video, there is an error saying “the video format you have selected is not valid for embedding to the timeline. Please select an H.264 video.” I am unsure on what to do to fix it. Could someone please help?

Hi I'm posting here as i'm hoping Animate puts similar stresses on the same parts of a system Character Animator does (posted in that forum but having trouble finding info). A project i'm working on is incredibly slow rigging and doing basically anything inside CA. I can probably go with i7 13700k with DDR5 ram or i9 13900k with DDR4 ram as they work out to roughly the same price. I already have a Geforce 1080 but i'm assuming (hopefully incorrectly) that the extreme lag i'm getting clicking on layers or adding tags etc isn't from the gpu side of things, so I wasn't planning on upgrading that but I can if necessary. I know it depends on the application in question but I can't find any info on what CA benefits from the most, can anyone offer any insight into this, or for Animate? Thanks

Hi Friends, I'm not into scripting so someone can help me with this?Actually i'm working on my friends project, I'll just do basic tween and motion animation but coding part is far away for me. the requirement is.When I click on the image. The number below would then get revealed (based on a $50k investment). I have attached the reference and source file of the Animate CC.The left board shows what would happen to the painting box (Joan Michell's one) when you hover over it. Once you click the painting, the number below would animate like this (https://css-tricks.com/animating-number-counters/) Source File: https://we.tl/t-x9uTd7kKEp Can somebody please help me it's an HTML5 Banner. Thanks,Jonathan
