Animate

I have some work documents written in as2. Up until a bit ago flash cs6 would show in "other version" under Animate and open and functioned fine. I see it is no longer there and now flash is prompting a trial. I login in with my creative cloud account but then it still prompts for a serial number. Is flash cs6 no longer covered under creative cloud membership? New versions of the apps work fine. I know that flash is EOL and these files should have been updated to as3 but do I only have 30 (28 now) days to update all these files? Where can I find or purchase a serial number? The buy now button in app brings you to a 'fraudulent serial number' site with phone number who reffered me here.

Hello, I am looking for how to make two canvas placed on the same page communicate. On each canvas there is a button (movieclip) to turn on or off a light (movieclip). I'm trying to turn on or off the LED from each button of the two canvas but I don't know how to do it. Thank you for your help.

Hi, I seem to have trouble removing addEventListeners when I jump between frames. When I jump back and forth, the addEventListeners still seem to stack up:  Frame 1 code:this.stop(); this.arrowForward_btn.addEventListener("click", arrow_btnClickForward.bind(this)); function arrow_btnClickForward() { this.arrowForward_btn.removeEventListener("click", arrow_btnClickForward.bind(this)); console.log("went forward"); alert("alert: went forward!"); this.gotoAndStop(1); } Frame 2 code:this.arrowBack_btn.addEventListener("click", arrow_btnClickBack.bind(this)); function arrow_btnClickBack() { this.arrowBack_btn.removeEventListener("click", arrow_btnClickBack.bind(this)); console.log("went back!"); alert("alert: went back!"); this.gotoAndStop(0); } How do I remove the addEventListeners so that they don't stack up?

Help!!

Thank you for looking into this.I've used Adobe Animate 2019 to create a HTML5 Canvas Document which consists of a button that will display an animation when the button is being clicked on.When I tested this project in Adobe Animate 2019 by clicking "Control" then "Test", my HTML5 works perfectly on the Google Chrome browser.However, when I exported this project as HTML5. The output didn't work perfectly. The clickable button couldn't be clicked and thus the associated animation didn't appear.May I know how to solve this and what additional info do you need to address this issue?Thank you

I thought this would be simple.    I just want to have a toggle button, so that when clicked, its state stays in the downState, and when clicked again, it goes to the upState.  For that to work I would need to know what state the button is in. This works to the point the button stays in the downStte if clicked, but it's not working for toggling back to the upstate: this.retinoscopeButton.addEventListener("click", retinoscope.bind(this)); function retinoscope(){ if (retinoscopeButton.upState == true){ retinoscopeButton.upState=retinoscopeButton.downState; } else if (retinoscopeButton.downState == true){ retinoscopeButton.downState=retinoscopeButton.upState; } } 

I work in animation as an After Effects compositor and part of my job is to open FLA files in Animate and manually export individual characters as SWF for importing to AE. I have to open the FLA file, double click into the layer which contains the all the characters, set everything to a guide layer except the one layer I need, then export as a swf. This will give me a single character as a SWF file. If this is a character heavy scene, such as a crowd, this can get extremly tedious! Is there a way to speed this up with a script? I just want to select the character I need, then run the script to export it. It can prompt me for where to save it. If possible, the script would work on multiple selections, exporting multiple swfs, and assign the layer name to the file name of each swf. This is the icing on the cake though! I found this script and had high hopes https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/exporting-individual-layers-or-symbols/m-p/8842652 

Whoever is responsible for "fliping the switch" to FORCE the EOL of Flash; put me and many others out of business. I have had many web sites that were made entirly in flash. To rework all that was way too much to undertake and way too expensive a project. That closed a huge part of business when that STUPID EOL happened. There is actually NO SUCH THING as an End of Life of any software! End of LIFE has to do with something that is LIVING and life ends NOT because they CHOOSE to do so... But because it is NATURAL. There is NOTHING natural about ending software use. The software creators do this to FORCE people to PAY for this change when it was NOT NECESSARY! This sort of thing is just rediculous.Flash EOL is the STUPIDEST thing EVER! And ranks in the same catagory as ENDING the life of an OS to FORCE the upgrad to a WORSE one. You couldn't have just SOLD the software to another company? I have thousands of files produced in FLASH that I can't use and cannot recreat in anything els

I have an FLA which uses the TextInput Component along with the CSS Component. Since I updated to Animate 2020 I have not been able to publish / test this file. Errors in Safari Web Inspector: TypeError: undefined is not a function (near '...$.anwidget...')(anonymous function) — css.js:3Global Code — css.js:15                              //  components/ui/src/css.js TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'new $.an.CSS')

Hello there,Currently working on an HTML5 banner ad. The folder of working files can be downloaded here.At the ~7 second mark, I'd like for the "balloon cat" to gently float up and down above the button.I've found inspiration for the floating movement here.We need to do this with javascript so that the animation will loop infinitely. I have some code already written for the background, but am having difficulty connecting the dots on this particular piece.I'd appreciate any help I can get.Cheers!

Hey guys! I'm trying to use Adobe Animate to animate an object which squashes when the user clicks on the screen. I'm aware of creating an Instance with the object, naming it, and using the Wizard option (in a HTML5 Canvas Doc) to produce simple code. However the drop-down menu doesn't have the options i'm looking for. Does anyone know how, or the exact code I would need, to create an animated object which shrinks down when clicked, and continues to shrink the more you click it? Thank you so much, really appreciate it.

Hi,I am having this issue. When I use parenting sometimes it just doesn't work.For example, parenting right leg to body is fine.Parenting left leg makes the symbol jump to a different place or disappear.Checked all my registration points and they are all fine.Would I be better off simply rigging the character.Thanks.

The video should be in the middle: some elemts on top, most of them — behind.Here's a quick demo I made in Google Web Designer to make sure it works there:I read may topics, but all of them are about putting the video on the very bottom with z-index and making the canvas transparent. I need animated elements behind the video and on top of it. Any workarounds for this? 

Hello, based on the createjs drag and drop demo, I'm trying to make it so that the circle jumps to the position of the cursor/touch on mousedown.I managed to make the dragging work, but no idea how to make the circle jump to position. createjs.Touch.enable(stage); this.circle_mc.on("pressmove", function (evt) { var point = stage.globalToLocal(evt.stageX, evt.stageY) evt.currentTarget.x = point.x; evt.currentTarget.y = point.y; stage.update(); }); Can anyone help it do something like this?

I'm currently working on a project on animate cc 2020, I've been trying to export video/media file using media encoder but it keep showing error message, I need help. 

Hi, I'm just trying to figure out how the codes work. I know .on is like a shortcut and it works like this: this.circle_mc.on("pressmove", function (evt) { var point = stage.globalToLocal(evt.stageX, evt.stageY) evt.currentTarget.x = point.x; evt.currentTarget.y = point.y; }); so I thought the .addEventListener way would work too, but it doesn't. this.circle_mc.addEventListener("pressmove", evt.bind(this)); function evt() { var point = stage.globalToLocal(evt.stageX, evt.stageY) this.circle_mc.x = point.x; this.circle_mc.y = point.y; }  but it doesn't. How do you make the .addEventListener version work?

Hi there,New to Adobe Animate. Is there a way to pass variables to instances created via code? I've created a symbol that moves left 12 frames and then right 12 frames back to the same spot.When creating an instance using the Linkage property and the code:var example = new lib.linkageText(); this.addChild(example);is there a way I can pass a variable through to the instance?For example, is there a way to pass a variable that is the speed for how fast it moves left then right? Something like:var example = new lib.linkageText(100); this.addChild(example); 

Hello,Why I still get the message "the selected frame span cannot be tweened ... convert to symbol" when I try to create a classic tween but I had already created the symbol and the tween I am created is with thats ymbol. The symbol appears in the Library but I get that message anyway... I cant understand why Animate asks me to craeet a symbol inside the symbol when the symbol already exits.  If I click OK I get all these unnamed tweens in the Library... it is a mess. I have checked many tutorials but i can really find an answer. In the tutorial below they say never click ok to that message, but I dont know what to do to avoid doing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO2tcqbOx_U This may be a simple beginners question but I really dont understand why it happens and cant find anny more info about it. Many thanks. Elena     

My workspace is vertically squashedWhen I hold shif and try to make perfect circle it's look squashedEven the icon if also look vertically squashedWhen I export vedio/image from animate cc It's become horizontally strachedLike this screenshot which I attach 

I don't know why Adobe's developement team insisted on messing with the Asset Warp tool for the sake of what exactly? Inverse Kinmatics???? IK is in fact, a legacy feature in Toonboom Harmony.  Which means it exists, but it is useless. The parenting system replaced any need for it.  Animate has parenting also ..so there NO NEED for IK.    What Adobe animate DOES LACK is proper deformation tools.  Toonboom Harmony is years ahead of Adobe on this.    The Asset Warp tool inside Animate was never perfect but it was the closest thing Animate had to a deformer tool.     In the lastest Adobe Animate the Asset Warp tool now blurs all shapes and leaves a vectorized bitmap behind.   This renders the tool effectively useless.  I'll now have to revert back to previous versions of the software when the asset warp tool worked properly.   Before the Update Adobe Animate had a useable but broken deformer, now it has ZERO deformers.&

I was panning and zooming my camera using tweens, and then the overlay bar that allows you to zoom was gone and I couldn't pan the camera around at all.

I have created an interactive animation using HTML5 canvas. I have placed the sounds on timeline which are working fine. When I publish my file in HTML5/JavaScript. While playing on the browser, sometime very few audio files create a "TUK" sound at the end of that clip and sometimes it doesn't. But few clips consistently create that sound. I have used both WAV and MP3 formats while importing but it doesn't help. Please help!

Hi:I have an Animated HTML5 on my website, but I want it to start just when it is on viewport.Please, explain me step to step 😉Thanks!!Sira
