Animate

If I have a sequence of frames animated in the main scene, and I want to make them into an animated graphic symbol, what's the easiest way? The only way I know how at this point is to select a frame, make it a symbol, copy all the following frames, go into the symbol, then paste the frames. Sometimes when I do this the frames are not aligned properly; and I still have to go back to the scene, delete the original frames, and insert frames to the symbol so that it will animate through the whole sequence. Is this really the only way to accomplish this? It seems like there should be an easier way.

15.ai .wav files are opening as a flat line and not playing audio in Animate. Other WAV files work. For some reason it seems specific to the files downloaded from this site, which open fine in other programs... Super niche problem please help?? 

I've never had this happen before and don't know how to fix it. I had my layers all neatly organized in folders. Been working on this project for a couple of weeks with no issues. Suddenly tonight, it took OUT my folders and instead, added a new layer at the top called __layerObjectOrdering - that has a script in the first frame. Additionally, most of the layers I had were duplicated - one called "name_prop_ " followed by its mate, "name_obj_" I get compile errors now and although it DOES still play, there are a few errors here and there that weren't there before. Inconsistent stuff. Here's a screenshot of what my layers panel looks like now (top) - the bottom screenshot is the beginning of the script that's been placed in the first frame of the program-generated __layerObjectOrdering layer:  Here's a list of the compile errors I'm getting: Symbol 'shine', Layer '___layerObjectsOrdering___', Frame 1, Line 6, Column 7 1151: A conflict exists with definition CAME

Hello Fairly new to javaScript/Animate so the code might be a bit sketchy but.... I think I need to clear the array somehow on the attached project, each time I move between sections. Download .fla here It is basically a load of circles that use vectors to move around the screen in a 'random' fashion. These objects are connected by lines which are drawn in a shape object. It all works fine except when I go to another location and then return to the main screen, the number of lines doubles and they appear to be tracking ghost objects. Every time you leave and return another set of lines appears... I am guessing this is because I keep creating(?)/adding to(?) the existing array of objects but can't find a way to clear or block this happening. Creating the array and graphic for the lines in the 'global/script' section seemed to stop additional lines being created but then the speed of movement doubled each time you return to the home screen. Another issu

 I have MC symbols which can be set to the stage though ComboBoxes and dragged and dropped into a position. I need to check if any have been dropped into the position and have a hitTest, in order to run some functions, one being:  function updateLF_Move_Left() { if (root.LeftFrame.x >= 508.3) { root.LeftFrame.x -= 1; root.LFLensHolder.x -= 1; root.LFLensSupports.x -= 1; root.ButtonRotateCWLeftFrame.x -= 1; root.ButtonRotateCCWLeftFrame.x -= 1; if (concaveSphereLensSet == true) { root.ConcaveSphereLens.x -= 1; } else if (convexSphereLensSet == true) { root.ConvexSphereLens.x -= 1; } } }  The global variables in the above code are initially set to false before the function. E.g.  this.concaveSphereLensSet = false; this.convexSphereLensSet = false;  The value of the corresponding symbol variable is set to true on drop/hitTest, if the dropped

When I try to transform a symbol using TRANSFORM > Flip Horizontal the text disappears.  This didn't happen yesterday.  Text also disappears if I free transform a symbol.  What's up ... any suggestions?  Symbol is an object in Movie Clip mode. No filters have been added.

I really like to draw in animate cc, I consider it one of the best software for that, however, with each update its performance has gotten worse, slow, crashing and a lot of lag traced. If you apply parenting layers, it is even slower.PC configurationmemory: 16 gbProcessor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.00 GHzGP: geforce gtx 1650 4gbAnyone else have these problems?

Hello, I have followed all the videos and tutorials on importing image sequences into Animate but nothing seems to work. I have a series of PNG files all named in sequential order. When I choose "Import to stage" and select the files, they all appear on the one frame on top of each other, not on individual frames as I have seen on other video examples. Also when I select the files I am not given any sort of dialog box to adjust the import settings. What am I doing wrong?  

Hello, Animate has stopped playing any sound files. I have reviewed all the posts related to this issue here and in other videos available online and after trying everything suggested I still cant make it work: (sound file placed in 2nd keyframe of timeline, file in wav format; properties/ frame/Sync/Stream .)I have even converted all the m4a files   again in Media Encoder to WAV. It is strange because sound was playing on the project earlier and some hours later doesnt anymore. I have opened previous projects and sound is not playing either when they were playing before. I have the impression something has been modified in the settings and I cant figure out... really no idea... sound in my laptop works... Any suggestions ? Thank you very much for your help, Elena 

Ich möchte eine Taste (HTML5) einbauen, die, wenn man auf sie klickt eine Audio Datei abspielt. Die soll allerdings nicht in Animate importiert liegen, sondern auf dem Server oder von Soundcloud kommen. Ich habe es schon mit einem Webseiten Link versucht, aber so recht funktioniert es noch nicht. Ich möchte nur, dass der Sound hörbar wird, allerdings nicht angezeigt wird.Habt ihr eine Idee?

Hi, I've written javascript to cause a number to count up or down when the plus button or minus button is pressed. The problem I'm having is that after I press the plus button and, the numbers start incrementing, if I then press the down button the number increments one more before it starts decrementing.  So if I count up to five, then press the minus button, the number goes to six before starting down again. I couldn't get the fla to attach so I've attached a couple of screen caps to show my work.   Thanks

How can a symbol be changed to a layer through JavaScript?

Are there any Animate or Flash tutorials on creating a vintage theater marquee effect where the lights flow continuosly along a path?  Or it could be any looping animation of data flow, water droplets, products on a conveyor belt, or the like.

All my layers arent importing when I import my AI files into An. I have Animate layers active and all the layers I want selected. But not all my layers show up on the stage or in the library. Even when I copy/paste. Any advice?

We have a difficult problem using Harman AIR 33 which causes a large memory to leak when playing video. According to github, Harman know this since last April 2021, but have still been unable to provide a fix. My real question is this. Can we ask Adobe to give us access to the older SDKS and Air Installers as an archive? We rely on AIR Desktop delivery with ability to play video to earn a living using Animate. I'm not hoping for any support, just the archival releases to run with Animate 2019 or earlier.

Hi,I make animations in Adobe animate for teaching purposes. I am not able to incorporate the animations generated inside of PowerPoint, it shows outside of PowerPoint and I have to keep switching . What should I be doing.usha

I have a graphic symbol nested inside another graphic symbol.  The parent symbol has movement controlled via JavaScipt on button press on the main timeline.  I want to do the same for the nested symbol.  How would I do that?

Hello all,Yesterday I was working on my Adobe animation, and everything was fine and saved.However today when I opened up adobe animate all of my recent files were gone as if I had opened animate for the first time, and when I went to reopen them from my computer, most of my animate files were gone as well auto save versions as well, with the exception of the ones I had put in folders. I think this might have to do with the new update but I'm not sure. If anyone knows how I can get my files back I'd really appricate it.

Hi, can't figure out this one, hope someone can help me. Canvas document with an instance of a Movie Clip on a separate layer. On the MC some script (like a console.log, doesn't matter). There is also a camera with some script in the scene. When I assign a name to the MC and publish, I getUncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'resetButton') in DevTools. When the MC has no instance name, there is no error. When I delete the camera or completely delete the script on the MC intance, there is also no error. Am I missing something fundamental about instances? My understanding is that every instance needs to have a name in order to be adressed by scripts. thank youPhilip

I know nothing about Animate, but chatter seems to suggest that Animate is what to use to open a swf file. I can't figure it out. Getting errors. Any help?Screenshots:My swf is in this directory.  

Hello!I will begin by saying, I haven't messed with Animate since it was known as Flash back in the day. That being said, I don't remember much about coding actions. I've tried googling and looking on here for something close to what I'm trying to achieve, but I'm not having any luck. I'm trying to make an interactive map with the action of a click of the mouse on a certain spot (a circle put on the map) to pop up a certain graphic (providing information about the circle). I have made each circle an object button. I have also made each graphic an object movie clip. I also have each of these graphics on their own layer with a duration of 5 seconds with a label. I have no idea where to go from here or if I'm even on the right path doing this correctly. If anyone can help me by telling me how to do this or pointing me to a tutorial on how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. I have attached a couple of images of what I have.

Hi, I am trying to implement drag and drop in Animate Canvas, using JavaScript.  I am using the code below to grab a movie clip and move it around.  The mouse does grab the clip and move it, but as I drag towards the lower right of the stage, the mouse pointer gets farther and farther away from the movie clip (see JPG).  Here's my code.  Is there a fix for this?  Thanks.Zafferthis.blueBall_1.on("pressmove", moveBlueBall); function moveBlueBall(e){ e.currentTarget.x = e.stageX; e.currentTarget.y = e.stageY; }
