Animate

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 😕😕

hi i bought flash cs6 from this website https://discountoemsoftware.com/ for 89$ is this legally ok please tell me

I'm making an animation with very specific graphics, so I created the files in a separate art program. However, when I try to tween with it (Classic tween, just changing the size and rotating) it doesn't work. How can I make a rotation and/or resizing tween using custom image files?

I've already tried saving assets as a .ana file, but Animate can not load it.Can someone explain what they are used for?Why the .ana file will not load?

Hey, so I only actually finish a product once every few months and always seem to have trouble at the end, getting it to the right look on the final product. I can't remember what I did different, but this project i'm trying to turn into a watchable video seems way grainer than my last vid. I haven't changed settings but it just looks like crap. When I preview it in animate it looks smooth and great but for some reason whenever i export video/media then run it through media encoader it looks like crap.   What am I doing wrong here?

Here is an image of software that I am writing (as a teacher) to generate questions for my students.The button next to the questions has been pressed to show the question. It is coded with Javascript in Animate. Is there a way that I can code the START button at the top to simulate the pressing of the question button. In the end what I am aiming to do is to click the start button, then one by one the buttons down the side are clicked after a time delay, by only pressing the start buttonI just want to have to avoid recoding if possible and just automate the clicking of the buttons so that they questions are revealed with a time delay.If any one can help with this pretty vague request, it would be much appreciated.Thank you.

Hi. As a test, I created a very simple character using the bone tool – so it sits on an armature layer on the main timeline. I want to use the auto lip sync feature with the character. As a dry run, I set up a graphic symbol with all the mouth shapes on the main timeline, went through the auto lip sync process and it works fine. (The audio is also on the main timeline.)I tried to do the same thing inside the "head" graphic symbol on my character. The problem I’m having is, after setting up the labeled key frames and picking the visemes etc., when I click on the "mouth shapes" symbol, (inside the head)  then hit the Lip Syncing button, it’s not seeing the audio on the main timeline -- I get "No audio layers found." So again – the "head" graphic symbol is on the main timeline. The "mouth shapes" symbol with 12 labeled frames and individual mouth shapes on key frames etc. is inside the head graphic symbol. Maybe there’s a problem with using the bone tool and auto lip s

When I select something (a fill, an object, a symbol-- anything) and try to nudge it with the arrow keys, it starts to work then pops back to it's original position. Do I have some strange setting on?
