Animate

Many of the symbols in my library haven't been showing up for maybe the last few months or so when I use the replace symbol feature. Not sure what happened but it used to work, any one have any tips? 🙂 

Hello,I would like to start with an introduction. I am currently doing an internship in a company and my task is to make an interactive infographic. For that, as you can tell, I used Animate. All went well until it came to publishing. Those issues are not the main problem, but maybe it is important. If I exported my infographic with separate .js and html files it never worked for website implementation, as there where errors in js and a looooot of lines of code. Also, if I tried to export images as textures, all interacitivty was lost. So , the only way it worked was to include the script in html and export images as image assets. When I handed it to our web developer he was able to use it and put it on our test page. However, it is only visible to him and only if he logs in into his web developement tool. So, I am trying to help him to figure it out and learn if I did something wrong while exporting/creating it. If you have any tips or suggestions, or maybe you need som

Need to shift an animated object that has a mask. When I go to do this it adds an additional dotted green line (a motion path). How can I prevent that from happening? I just want to re-position this object/clip. Thank you.

Hi, I would like some help on how to remove the white banners beside the web? I have looked into publish/responsive settings, but no changes? Do I have to code to make the screen fullsize? Many thanks, Millie Jones

Hi, I have a few .png files in my project library. I'd like to add and remove them based on some other user input using JS. These are my functions.function addMoleculeImage(name) { let file_extension = ".png"; let temp_name = name.concat(file_extension).toString(); stage.addChild(temp_name); } function removeMoleculeImage(name) { let file_extension = ".png"; let temp_name = name.concat(file_extension).toString(); stage.removeChild(temp_name); } I get the following error in the console:Uncaught TypeError: Cannot create property 'parent' on string 'acetate.png' Any ideas why this is happening? Am I misunderstanding how to call something from my project library (I'm guessing so!)? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi. I would like to extract bitmaps from FLA files from the command line. If I unzip a FLA document I can find some of the bitmaps as PNG images, but most images are stored in a bin folder as .dat files, and I can't make them usable. Is there a way to convert those files to PNG? I know that I can export all BitmapItems by calling exportToFile from a JSFL script, but I want to extract them from the command line without having to start the editor. If there was a command line tool for this as part of Animate/CC that would be nice.

Here is a video of the problem I'm having: https://youtu.be/6tLB4Jt5DQsThe animation appears fine when it is played via the timeline. It is only when I export that a number of the symbols are out of place.Here is another video, this time of the animation as it appears, with the symbols correctly in place, in the timeline: https://youtu.be/v7wEqiy51EMAgain, it is only upon export that the problems appear.

Hi Guy'sis it possible to Use layer depth within a nested symbol? I have a character i've created with each limb on a seperate layer, once the the character is complete I like to nest all the layers into a single graphic symbol, kind of like having a master/global symble that I can move, rotate or scale on the canvas and then double click on it and animate everything within  the symbol as I see fit, the only problem is that adobe animate removes/prevents using layer depth as you're no longer on the main timeline,  Please any kind of input would me appreciated

Hi, please how can I change the scaling of UI in Animate? After installation of newest version the UI is extremly small. I dont find scalling in Preferences dialog.

Hi, all. Still pretty new to Animate. I built out an HTML 5 Canvas project recently and now need to use advanced layers. When I switch on advanced layers in the existing project .fla, it moves my existing symbols to a different location on the canvad, I imagine because they are anchored in a particular way. Not sure. Any reason why this would happen?  Does switching on advanced layers move an origin point or something like that? Thanks in advance.

I have a large animation I've been working on in Animate 2019cc. Yesterday I thought I'd try out Animate 2022. I downloaded it and loaded up my animation with no complications. I created a new scene and worked on it for hours. I saved the file, not as a new file, and closed the program. It had saved perfectly fine, with no errors or program crashes. Today I loaded up the file and the new scene I created is gone. This is the same exact file I saved - the time stamp even tells me I last worked on it yesterday. I do have autosave on, but since the file was saved manually there's no recovery file. All my progress is just gone as if I hadn't even created and spent a day's worth of work on it. 

I'm trying to make a gradient fade into 0 alpha sort of as lighting in Animate and I don't know why it doesn't export the blend with the png. I heard you're supposed to apparently use a movie clip but that's basically it. This is what it's supposed to look like This is what it ends up looking like

Hello! It has been a few years since I have worked in Animate, in particular to export digital banners for Google Ads. I know the file weight restrictions are very low and I though I had everything set up the way I did in the past to make this work, however I am getting a really heavy file called "createjs.min.js" on export. This is coming in around 240K itself, pushing me way over the limit. Anyone know a work around to either remove OR at best significatly reduce this size of this? I have attached a screen shot of the file in my browser.  Thanks!Nick

Hi all, In the last week only, every time I try to create a symbol (F8) or right click create Symbol the stage completely freezes indefinitely. The only way to do anything is to go to Task Manager and end task on the program. I'm running windows 10, which only recently installed but I have managed to create a symbol under the Win 10 environment. Any advise would be awesome. thanks

I'm at my wits end. I need to update Adobe Animate so I can use the Lip Sync feature, but it seems this is only doable through the Creative Cloud desktop app, and it never prompts me for my password. I enter my account email, the little green checkmark comes up, and then nothing happens. It freezes.    <edited to remove personal info-kglad>     Please help. I can log into my account on a web browser fine, but can't update Animate         through it. I cannot uninstall the creative cloud app, because my computer says other applications need it to function.  

I haven't found any way to change the default tween effect when applying a classic tween. It always defaults to classic (linear) easing, but I'd prefer to be able to change it to the tween type that I'm using most commonly for a give project (usually ease in out cubic).

Hi,I've been having issues when creating a shape tween in a mask layer because even though it seems to work on the project timeline, whenever I test the animation the masked symbol remains hidden. I followed the masking and tweening process step-by-step and have redone it multiple times, but the problem keeps occurring.This is happening in version 22.0.5. Any tips or advice? Thanks in advance.

I'm a high school teacher, running an approximation of an animation studio. I need the students to create digital assets (in Adobe Animate) and share them with different teams within the classroom.I do not want to have the student share via Adobe's Creative Cloud, because of potential privacy issues (No fault of Adobe's just very privacy conscious rules here). So is there a simple solution where students can save digital assets and share them with another group? I've already tried saving assets as a .ana file, but Animate can not load it. Currently saving resources as .fla files and using import External Library for animated sequences.And saving images as PNGs for static resources. Also, is there a better way?

Hello, I'm supposed to do an activity that uses buttons on animate. It's supposed to be a music player but I don't know how to do it on animate since the teachers' instructions is for the flash (old version of animate) can you share the codes on  how to make an audio stop, pause, play, go to previous, and go to next song. 

I work at an animation studio and we are using Adobe Animate for a big project that has a lot of files and a lot of different people working out of the same shared folder. We are using Animate 2022 (v22.0.4), on MacOS 10.15 Is there any way to stop Animate from creating these RECOVERY files? Or to create them in a different folder? They're messing up my very tidy scene folders and making extra versions of the files that we don't need.

Are there professional templates for purchase and download somewhere for Adobe Animate and Character Animator...? Which are the best? I find the templates in Animate and Character Animator to be extremely goofy and ugly (sorry), and I don't have the time to create everything from scratch because of quick turnaround times... Is Vyond a better choice for me or could you recommend some other animation software with characters...?

I have 30fps/215 frame animation that goes for about 6 seconds.What I want to do is add a 7 minute mp3 song that would play its entire length regardless of frame animation and loop once finished.Is this feasible in Animate CC?

Which is the right source apart from youtube tutorials to learn how to use animate from basics of the software to the advanced level ?please share 😕😕
