Animate

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; }

Is it possible in HTML Canvas movies to assign classes to symbols?   I can see this is possible in ActionScript movies through the Symbol Properties panel > ActtionScript Linkage to enter a class.  But in HTML5 Canvas movies, that area is disabled.

Hi guys,I'm a completely newbie with After Effects. I'm following a basic tutorial to animate a logotype using the Pen tool with Stroke Effect and revealing it after, but there's a problem. The size of the brush isn't enough to cover the logo (because the max is 200) and I need a bigger size to get fully path good. Any solutions for this?On 01 image you'll notice the initial logo wihout the stroke effect, and in the second one, the logo being revealed but without the necessary stroke be covered.Thank you. 

Hi, I have an Apple Ipad Pro and an Apple MacBook Pro that I use for drawing. I use the iPad with Adobe Fresco and then import into CC Cloud and then export the picture into Adobe Animate.

Hi Animate support community,Is there a way to access the Animate Color Effects > Advanced panel settings with JavaScript code?  I have an old project written in ActionScript 2.0 that I am trying to convert to HTML5 Canvas.  This project contains many images of flowers as movie clips and I want to change the color of these flowers from a button click. The base drawing objects of these flowers is done in grayscale gradients and the color is applied using the Color Effects > Advanced panel (see attached JPG) which shows the settings and results.  The code below doesn’t work to change the color because it’s not accessing the Color Effects > Advanced settings.  Is there a way to access these settings with JavaScript?  Thanks.Zafferthis.yellow_btn_1.addEventListener("click", change_color_yellow.bind(this)); function change_color_yellow() { bellFrontLt.petals_mc_1.shape.graphics._fill.style = "rgb(255,255,0)"; }

I have an CSS working on several elements.  I now want to add a 'move' cursor to a graphic symbol.  It's not working. #ConcaveSphereLens { cursor:move; } The symbol instance is correctly named.
