Animate

Just a question to the developers...why are the dialogue buttons in Animate backwards. The confirmation or action button is always at the top or the far right of the dialogue box in all of Adobe's other programs, and most other programs out there. Why is Animate different? I would love to see this fixed.  

To give some context. When using the old flash environment it was possible to have several .fla files and a central library.fla with all your component in it. When you would change a component in the library.fla and saved it, it could automatically make it so this change was also seen of every page that depended on it. So what I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to do this is animate so that we can have a singular library file with the whole lib object in it so that when the canvas is created all the components come from this file so that it's a lot easier to update larger collections of pages without having to publish every single page again and again. And instead only having to replace the old library.fla or in this case probably library.html. In theory this should be possible but I have not found if it's a feature of the compiler or not.

Hi all,I'm trying to export a project through File -> Export -> Export Video, and want to convert it in Media Encoder after. I've exported this way loads of times before with no issue, but now after the bar to 'export SWF movie' is full, nothing happens! Usually there is another bar to fill (I think this is to do with Flash content?) and then Media Encoder opens automatically.Now, after it has exported as an SWF movie, nothing else appears and there is nothing in the folder I tried to export it to. It's as if it gets partway through and quits.I've updated Animate to the latest version.Can anyone help?

Back in the Flash days you could export a single image as an .AI or .EPS.  Any plugins or work arounds anyone know of for Animate (2022)? Joe Corraohttp://joecorrao.blogspot.com/http://www.4eyedanimation.com

Hello,I am facing a problem on launchung Animate 2022 it was working fine, now suddenly it freezes on the welcome screen at the Building Workspace time. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it again but the problem is still there.

Hi there, I'm new to Animate and am having trouble resizing and repositioning objects in a streamline way.I'm used to After Effects where I can resize something at the beginning of the timeline and it not set keyframes, and it adjust for the entire timeline. In Animate it seems I have to resize at each keyframe, like the size and position are set at each frame. For example, I started with a 1080x1080 and now I need a 1080x1920 and have to move and resize fading rectangles and revealing text. When I resize and move the squares at the first keyframe, it does not update for the remaining keyframes, making me need to drag and resize for each keyframe for each square. Am I missing a way to not have the size and position set in the keyframe so I can easily move and resize for ads in different sizes?   I attached the original ad and then screenshot of the working space in the new in-progress bigger ad.

[Moderator moved from Download & Install to Animate.]   I have some director application that we started using in an exhibition in 2008.  I need to be able to make small alterations for screen aspect ratio and PC change.  I have a trial director 12 but it keeps crashing.  Any suggestions please?

When I open Adobe Animate the program crashes several times when I move or do anything using the tablet.Then it stops crashing but Use Pressure stops working.I tried going to Prefrences>Drawing>Tablet Input but the Tablet Input option is missing.And yes I was searching if anyone had the same problem but it didn't help.

Hello. I have a problem. My project has stopped working. I don't know how to work in Adobe animate. Every time something went wrong. I have assembled a new computer for animations, i7 processor, 32 GB RAM, Fast SSD, etc. I create a new animation, I came to a certain point and the project does not work, if I edit something, I get an error while saving. Additionally, the project does not want to be exported to mp4 movie. It doesn't chew it into Media Encoder. The project has drawn characters + imported vectors. If anyone had any knowledge, you would love itRegardsGrzesiek Tizzue

So Ive been trying to use a certain shade of blue to go over my characters body and to do that I've been trying to use a new layer specifically for the blue shading. For some reason whenever I try to use the bucket tool to cover all of the area. The bucket instead goes back to the first layers and adds the color there. Not only does it go on a different layer but it replaces one of the other colors completely which doesnt help since I want to blue sahding to have a 50% oppacity. So whenever I try to turn the oppacity down for that layer the whole drawing starts to fade when it should just be the blue shading. I can technically just use the brush on the new layer instead of the bucket, but if I do that I have to try and avoid going over the line art which is extrememly time consufing and stressful. Is there anyway to use the bucket tool on a seperate layer?

I recently built a new computer running Windows 11 and I installed Animate 22 using the regular Creative Cloud application. Animate 22 is giving me a lot of problems (most notably crashing every time I try building a swf) probably because I'm trying to work with the ancient Scaleform extension and source files. Animate 19 was working fine on my old Windows 10 computer for building swf files that use Scaleform. Animate 19 is no longer available for installation through Creative Cloud. I contacted Adobe support and Adobe sent me a link to download and install Animate 19. I successfully installed Animate 19, but I cannot open it. Animate 19 shows the splash screen, then opens a window, and the window stays open for just a moment, and then closes. I tried following the steps in https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/kb/animate-crashes-on-launch-startup.html but that did not fix the problem. I don't think the program is crashing. It looks like it opens and then automatically closes.

Greetings! Despite trying to look for answers to fix or find a way to finally have the matte option enabled to just save a transparent GIF but so far no luck. Tried changing the stage color to near black (#010101) but it still greyed out. (I use adobe animate CC)Is there a way to fix this? I am not sure if this is a bug or anything. If not, I appreciate the advice given!Much kudos!

Hello, this cold be a stupid question but I was just wonderingWhen I am drawing with pencil tool is ther any option where I can close a gap when I am drawing like there is in Illustrator. I usually hold down ALT at the end of my stroke in illustrator and it coloses the gap.  Is this an option in Adobe animate? Thanks Seb

I am doing frame animation in Photoshop. Flipping back-and-forth between frames to get the best progression of the motion is foundational in animation, no matter what the media or program. Usually it is done with the arrow button in every other program I have ever worked with, and I have worked with many. Is there any way to do this in the Photoshop timeline? Mouse or stylus clicking back-and-forth between frames is infuriating and ridiculously awkward. But in all of the tutorials that is the only way I have ever seen anyone flipping. Does anyone know how to do this.

Hi, a question for all of you "vintage" animators out there .. by vintage I mean animators who are old enough to know what an exposure or sheet or a dope sheet is. Is there anything like an exposure sheet (Xsheet) that one can output, maybe as a csv file? That is what I have done with other animation software. I am asking becasue I am on a project where we are doing pretty traditional drawn animation. I am doing the animation roughs or what used be called "blues" but I need to export only the drawings that move to the renderers in photoshop. But if I export a Jpeg sequence it exports every frame as a seprate drawing including the holds - if a scene is shot on twos, the sequence is exported with  one animated pose as two drawings each with a different name, even though one is a hold of the previous drawing. I am sure that I am in the dark about some huge paradigm shift here.   

Look at this animation.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fy1_0BC3VRXlumz5JdqJouJK5ytMrabx/view?usp=sharing  When he talks he moves from side to side and I can tell this was made made in tweens. How do I do it while my character changes expressions and talks? And I can't even move my character from side to side because when I try to do it, it just goes to the wrong direction.
