Animate

Hello!In this little letter here, I'd like to discuss Adobe Animate, and Macromedia Flash 8.I'm going to begin by describing a scenario. Jim. wants to get into animation. he has a really cool project in mind to make this animation. he looks up what his best options are for animation. ToonBoom and Adobe Animate come up. but both are not only frantically expensive, but SUBSCRIPTION based as well! This little passion project of his doesn't have any backers and Jim completely broke. He enters the word Free at the beginning of the search bar. then discovers that Macromedia Flash 8 is available for download in several different locations. after doing a bit of research he sees that Adobe doesn't seem to mind due to the fact that they haven't done anything for YEARS to really crack down on it, and it seems widely used.he downloads Macromedia Flash 8 from a strange place off a strange website, luckily there are no viruses. he makes his passion project and is quite happy with his work.However no

Horrible issue that started happening to me just last night, the warp tool is nearly unusable now! Look:We have our asset, nice and clean and connectedThe warp tool is applied, and you can already see the problem hereThese holes start appearing in the asset! Holes! HOLES! This hasn't been a problem up until last night, I fear I may have accidentally done something to my settings or preferences. This is extremely urgent, any sort of fix would be appreciated ASAP

Hello! I have a small problem with with my graphic tablet and Adobe Animate. When I try to use my keybinds on my graphic tablet, like undo (Cntrl+z), they won't work. I've tried these keybinds in other softwares on my computer, but they work just fine. Please help. My grapic tablet is a Gaomon PD1161

When I add some layers, a image appears, that I can't delete, why?

I have a problem with Animate timeline. it's not showing real time - It takes about 6 seconds to show 1 second animation. It's especially slow when I use Classic Tween. I tried updating and reseting the settings but it's still stuck. Also, Animate is very slow and every action takes too long. Would love to have any help it's seriously frustrating.Thanks!

I made an H5 animation with audio and sound effects using Animate CC 2019. The audio works well on the laptop PC, but it doesn't work on mobile. This H5 animation I designed is mainly for mobile browsers. Can anyone help me out?Thank you so much!

When I tried previewing my animation, the program simply crashed. Any attempts to open the file afterward have simply caused Animate to crash. I attempted opening some other projects that I worked on, and they opened without complications. Any help would be awesome.File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Nv8fzymfuOJJXuwvMSSPRRx5IcJyQNv/view?usp=sharing

Hello,Recently, I have been working on a simple animation that mainly consists of motion tweens. I have a boat, water, clouds, rain, sun and rainbow layers on my stage. I need to make the sun a nested animation, meaning to convert it into a symbol and then alter the brightness so it looks as if the sun is getting darker. I have created the symbol and embedded the colour changing animation within the symbol. When I play it within the symbol itself, it works. However, when I drag the symbol (the embedded animation is saved in it) onto my stage, it doesn't animate. Any ideas what this could be? I'm using Adobe CC 2017 Animate.Thank you in advance for your reply, it is greatly appreciated.

I need to figure out how to toggle the visibility of text in Canvas.  I had it working with my old SWFs, but I haven’t been able to translate it to Canvas because I’m a JavaScript neonate.  Before I can define what I need, I have to explain how my files are set up.  They are stop action, animated lessons.  They play until a point in the timeline is reached with a this.stop(); command. I call these stop points FreezeFrames.  After the user studies a FreezeFrame , clicking the screen resumes playback until it reaches the next FreezeFrame .  Now at each FreezeFrame explanatory text appears.  What I need is a button that will toggle this text on and off.  Each time the button is clicked it should also toggle itself between a Hide Text Button, which will turn it off, and a Text Button, which turns it back on.  Note, these buttons need to work globally.  If say the Text Button is clicked in one FreezeFrame , the text should remain on unl

I'm using Animate 2022 v 22.0.5 on Mac.I've already pressed J, doesn't work. I'm not accidentally pressing it either.Object drawing mode seems to just turn on while I'm drawing and when I try to turn it off it's grayed out. I tried all 3 different brush tools and it's still the same. VERY frustrating that the only fix to this so far is to just hope it magically fixes itself while I'm working or I restart Animate.What is going on? The only conclusion I can come up with is it's a bug in the recent update. A few months ago I NEVER had this problem. If there's a solution other than restarting Animate everytime that'd be great.  

I just downloaded Animate 22 after using the 2019 version for a while, and everytime I open the program there's this white screen that's covering the entire stage.Whatever I draw shows up under the white screen. I know this because whenever I close the program, for 1 moment the screen disappears and I can see everything I drew underneath. You can also see it on the edge of the white screen as well (picture attached, it's those blue strokes on the right side of the stage).This problem occurs both on new projects and older ones as well. And while we're at it, does anyone know how to download the 2019 version? The earliest version I could find is the 2021 one. 

Hi all, when I am adding a Button element from the library using addChild, the button loops throught its four stages continuously (and doesn't function like a button at all). Am I doing something wrong? Many thanks!

Deliberately vague in my subject because I don't want to limit your responses...I don't know the correct jargon (I am a newbie learning Animate CC)Having created a lovely interactive animation I now want to put it on the internet (with ease). I'm extremely inexperienced and I don't mind paying for a simple service that takes my creation and puts it publicly on the internet so the public can see it. Please help and don't fear recommending brands to me. I currently own the rights to a domain name with Google Domains. Thank youNice to meet you all

Animate初心者です。YouTubeなど動画をみてリップシンク機能を試していましたが、うまく出来ませんでした。イラストレイヤーの中で液体ブラシツールで簡単な顔を書いて口の部分だけ選択してシンボルにしてから、0f：ニュートラル、1f：あ、2f：い....のように口の種類を作りました。それからプロパティのリップシンクから発音に対応するイラストを設定して同期する音声を選択したのですが、画像2枚目のようにほとんどニュートラルになってしまいました。Animateの基本的な機能を理解していないため原因がどこにあるかも見当がついていないのですが、音声ファイルのゲインが小さすぎるなどでうまくいかなかったりするのでしょうか？それとも日本語との相性が悪いのでしょうか？    

All is in the title...Why in 2020 "Trim paths" is still not available in Animate CC?? It's a basic animation effect, available in after effect but for strange and mysterious reasons unknown in Animate where it's really a nightmare to create similar effect (and spend hours), however Trim path would so have his place in Animate.I'm an illustrator and animator, I use Animate for 99% of my work and I SO need this option... PLEASE update it!!!!(and sorry for my uggly english)

I've never used animate. I'd like to make some quick graphics with moving words. or stars moving in the background of static words.  simple fast quick. I know those are really easy to make in canva; save as a gif;  it's done. Does animate have preset options for moving words and pictures? What programs do you use for short moving social media graphics? i like adobe products; but need something quick and easy to learn with preset options instead of having to figure out new ones on my own! 

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.
