Hi,I have a symbol (movieclip) named GirlPlayer and am coding simple keyboard movement. Every reference to GirlPlayer in the code produces the 1120: access of undefined property error. It is like the symbol is not being seen as a symbol. Any help appreciated.  Donna import flash.events.Event;import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;var leftarrow:Boolean = false;var rightarrow:Boolean = false;var uparrow:Boolean = false;var downarrow:Boolean = false;var previouskey:Number = 0;var girlspeed:Number = 10;//main program//stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onkeydown) ;function onkeydown(e:KeyboardEvent){if(e.keyCode == 37){leftarrow = true;}if(e.keyCode == 38){uparrow = true;}if(e.keyCode == 39){rightarrow = true;}if(e.keyCode == 40){downarrow = true;}}stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onkeyup) ;function onkeyup(e:KeyboardEvent){if(e.keyCode == 37){leftarrow = false;}if(e.keyCode == 38){uparrow = false;}if(e.keyCode == 39){rightarrow = false;}if(e.keyCode == 40

Hi,I am looking for a way to add more dropdown items to the HTML5 combobox component by adding them to the items categoryI am able to access the features of disabled, visible and value just fine by calling these linesdocument.getElementById('COMBO_BOX_NAME').value ✅document.getElementById('COMBO_BOX_NAME').disabled ✅document.getElementById('COMBO_BOX_NAME').visible ✅But for some reason when I try to add objects to the item array nothing seems to happen?Basic addition to arr objectvar array = new Array();var obj = new Object();obj.label = 'Label';obj.data = 'Data';arr.push(obj)Methods tried for adding to the combo boxdocument.getElementById('COMBO_BOX_NAME').items = array ❌document.getElementById('COMBO_BOX_NAME').items.push(obj) ❌document.getElementById('COMBO_BOX_NAME').items = [{label: 'Label', data: 'Data'}] ❌ (Manual Entry seems to not work either!)Is the items variable an array or an object?

Hi everyone, a few days ago I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Animate. I started learning the program and when I understood the basics, I started to create my own project. I've been doing it all day and after shutting down a file for a while, I can't open it again. The whole program hangs and nothing happens. CPU and graphics usage jumps to 100%. When I was working in the file itself, I had no problems and everything worked. Now I can't open the file I have been working on so much. What should I do? 

Hi,Whenever I start Adobe Animate after the loader screen, as soon as I click File > new the new project window open up with showing Cephtmlengine.exe error . It also shows randomly whenever I try to create a new document using preset / template window. Can there be option to enable a sort of classic (File > New) window just like Adobe InDesign?It will be less clumpsy and cluttered and hope there will be no Cephtmlengine.exe errors. I tried to fix the problem by disabling the "Cephtmlengine.exe" file by renaming to some other extension.then start Adobe Animate again.  everything was smoother and faster  but there are two problems after this 1. File>New not working at all, it's inactive no window showing2. Whenever I close an active project file, the whole software closes without any notification. please help guys! regards,Fasih

Historical Timeline ProjectCannot Get Stop and Start Buttons to WorkI am attempting to satisfy a few requirements for this project. I need to create functional buttons, import videos, and integrate music. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get any buttons to work. I've created multiple copies of this file in an attempt to get this timeline to be functional. I have attached the timeline to this post. Thanks in advance. Initial Tutorial This tutorial helps summarize what I was attempting to achieve. My understanding of Adobe Animate is not very expansive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrzVahzwVV4

Trying to edit a project in animate and the right quarter or so won't show new images. I've had this happen in two projects. I add (import) a new ai image to the stage/scene, but when I drag it to the right side of the stage/scene, it disappears as if it were going behind a mask. I've had this happen whether trying to change an image on an existing layer or creating a new layer and adding the new ai image.image can be seen when placed here or anywhere to the left...but not here or anywhere to the right (other layers hidden) 

Is there a simple checkbox used fla project?

Hello Adobe Community, I have just started using Animate CC 2021 but it has an issue. All the tools only work after I tap the Fluid Brush tool for example when I want to zoom into or out of the canvas/stage I can zoom out to 6% but I won't see any change unless when I tap the Fluid Brush tool. Then I uninstalled Animate CC 21 and got 2020. Same issue, if I use the classic brush tool on the stage/canvas I see nothing but when I tap the Fluid brush tool all the marks appear. What's the problem?

So I have a movieclip with 3 frames and when I call the instance from the library (as shown below) it's not switching to the desired frame. The ultimate goal is to have multiple instances with random frames chosen, but it is currently not chosing any other frame. I have tested this by adding the object to the stage and it works fine, just not when I'm calling it from the library.   function testInit(){var star = new lib.star();star.gotoAndStop(1); //this does nothing?star.x = 346;star.y = 386;stageRoot.addChild(star);  // stageRoot = this} testInit();

I have an text input box that the user types their name in. They click a button and the name is moved to a new box in the scene, where a happy birthday message also appears. The first box's instance name is tb1, the second box's instance name is tb2. this is the code so far: btn_enter.onPress = function() { outString = "Happy Birthday " + inString ; What I need to do is to have another user type their name in the first box. After clicking the button, their name will move to the 2nd box, and the name that was in the 2nd box needs to go to a third box, so it doesn't disappear from the screen. How to approach this? Do I create dynamic text boxes? Or more input boxes? What I'm currently doing isn't working (moving the text in box 2, to box 3) so I'm not sure what to do next... Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!! thank you.

Hi all Recently I have come back to a range of Animate lesson templates I created some time back which used videos and which were controlled by buttons, tickers and event handlers.The method I used back then was using the following code: path = this; path.stop(); var video = document.createElement('video'); var mainVid = new createjs.Bitmap(video); video.src='videos/testVid.mp4'; video.autoplay = true; path.addChild(mainVid);These lessons were used using Internet Explorer (I know!) and worked fine.  Since IE is now dead, I have discovered that Edge is no longer displaying these lessons and I need to update them.  I have noticed that if I place Edge in Internet Explorer mode they lessons works fine, but I need to update them so peeps don't have to go through this options  Recreating the code in Animate and publishing to Edge doesn;t seem to work.  I noted I don;t get any errors messages in the console, but the when viewed the video element just doesn

What has happened to Adobe Animate? It has become unusable! I have used Flash before it was Adobe and it worked just fine. But since the HTML Canvas has become the method for web banners, and was rebranded as Animte is has become worse and worse. Here are most common problems I encounter on this particular machine in this job as web animator.1. Fails to export raster assets2. Freezes up on export3. Fails to render preview in browser4. Fails to display linked images when published online. 

Hi,I created a drag and drop game in Animate CC with HTML5 canvas. How to make an object (red box) snaps to targets (white boxes)? It's not just snaps on correct target but also incorrect target, then shows response (correct or incorrect).Best regard..

I have a movie clip plays a sound at the end of the timeline. So far, so good. I also want to trigger a function in the parent of the animation, using "this.parent.stars();" but the function isn't getting called. Clearly I am doing something wrong. What's the issue?

Hi, I'm not sure if this the right board/program, but i'm looking at how i can play and stop a video within a program, specifically this video one below. https://www.pond5.com/after-effects/item/94797735-timeline-slideshow So it will play the first scene, then pause, then a 'right arrow' button appears to play the next scene/continue the timeline.I have attached an idea of how it would look at each paused scene. Is adobe animate the right program for this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  

I was working on an animation for a project and then my computer decided to shut off and update. When I opened my fla back up, it was corrupted and it said an error occured while trying to open it. What's even worse is the RECOVER file was corrupted too! So I tried to do the winrar trick and it opened up, but now literally all of the symbols are gone. And to rub more salt in the wound, I had over 200 symbols and other stuff in it since I was up all night animating all for nothing. So I'm stuck here, everything is lost and I am feeling all of the negative emotions. There is an swf of the original file before it got corrupted, but idk how am I gonna work with that since all of the symbols were named and when I turned the swf into an fla, it was totally botched. So I just don't know what to do at this point, if anyone knows what to do, please let me know.

Hi, is there anyone who can help me, please? I'm trying to create a running number increment by a random range such as (+3, +4, +5, etc). Right now, I've tried to use separate code for this, one to run a random, and the other to run a counter number, and make another dynamic text to sum up both of them, but it's too complicated, and it's hard to control the speed. then I try this code. var start = 25var end = 130var f = tickerF.bind(this);var current = start;startTickerF(25, 130);function startTickerF(startNum, endNum) {start = startNum;end = endNum;current = start;createjs.Ticker.addEventListener('tick', f);}function tickerF() {this.suhu.text = current.toFixed(1); var numberA= [ 2, 3, 4, 5 ];current = current + numberA[Math.floor(Math.random() * numberA.length)]; }  But it didn't work. I'm sorry if this code is seems unlogic, I'm a beginner, and still trying to learn and understand it.  Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, so I'm very new to animation software and I'm not sure what I did wrong. I have a very short 16 second animation with little audio. Video over which animation is drawn. When I try to save the file in video format, a black screen is saved and the following text appears in the output line: WARNING. This movie uses features that are not supported in Flash Player 30. Cutout=cutout1, layer=Layer1, frame=1: Warning! H.264 video will not be published. I have already tried all the options and save settings, but the error still remains. Can I ask someone to save my file as a video and then send the video to me? Or help to eliminate the error, but it seems to me that it is no longer possible to eliminate it 🙂

Hi, I'm trying to add a bit of squash and stretch to a Charcter Walk animation. However, I cannot key a transform in the body, without distorting the limbs/head. I tried scaling inside the symbol, however, this changes the scale of the body across all my keys. 

I have made several individual scenes using HTML5 canvas.  I want to be able to link them together using a 'next' and 'back' button.  I am basically trying to produce a presentation similar to flash going forwards or backwards through the scenes.  Is this possible? 

I have been using adobe animate for half a year now and suddenly the brush stopped being smooth and creates these really wiggly lines that are impossible to work with.If I draw really fast strokes it's smoother but still not perfect.If I use the pencil tool it doesn't happen mid stroke but the edgest get a bit messy.I use Huion Kamvas pro 13.I tested it out on TVpaint10 and Photoshop and in neither does this happen, only on Animate.I tried updating my driver, retartign the program and my computer, unplugging and replugging the tablet, switching pen tips, reconfigering sensitivity, nothing worked.I attached a photo of how bad it isPlease help, it's impossible to work like this.

 I am writing the content of this problem through a translator.Even if the content is not natural, we ask for your understanding. The version of animate cc I originally use is version 22.0.2 and build is 168.I've been working on animations with this and upgraded to the latest version this morning.However, when I ran the saved working file in the afternoon, the program stopped responding.I think this problem is due to the difference in program version. So I have questions.-Is there any way to download the version of animate cc that was originally used?-Is there any other way to downgrade the version of animate cc to a lower version?-Are there any technically helpful answers besides the question asked?I look forward to your reply.

I got a Surface Pro for my birthday and I wonder if it's good enough to run Animate.Here are the specs. Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHzIt's a 64 bit system running Windows 11.Is this good enough to run Adobe Animate?

Hello For years I've used Photoshop to produce animated GIF banners. More recently, I've moved to Animate. However, I've noticed text doesn't appear as sharp when exported from Animate. Does anyone have a preference for which app to use? Is there a way to sharpen up the type on Animate? Thank you

Can anyone suggest a solution?Exporting video has been working fine, have made no changes but suddenly the export gets to about 40% then craps out with the message "Export Cancelled!" No further explanation or options.
