how to make a pacman game always open adnd close it mouth ?

Ok so recently I've realized that whenever I turn Animate on it says a file was opened -insert time here- and I know for a fact that I did not open it at that time and date. I sometimes dont touch the file for a week and then I log on to find that it was opened a couple days ago. Is it possible for someone else to be touching my files? If so how do I lock them out of doing such a thing?

I'm trying to reuse an intro fla file created by a different developer for a new animation I'm working on in Animate. The problem is that the into keeps looping and I haven't been able to find the magic bullet to get it to stop. It was built in the day of movie clips, so I've gone through and changed all movie clips (that I could find) into graphic symbols and have made sure the looping mode of each graphic symbol is set to "play graphic once." None of that has helped. I don't know if I've missed converting some of them or if there's something else I'm missing, but it's driving me crazy. Since I'm planning on exporting it as an mp4, I wasn't sure if I could use any stop(); actions or not. Since I didn't know, I decided to try, so I put a stop action at the end of each of the graphic symbols in the introduction. The thing STILL loops. It doesn't loop immediately - waits a bit and then starts all over again. There's a theme song in the background, and even IT starts again, so that I

I have a mask that inside contains nothing. this is because i want it to remove everything below it and replace it with nothing, but instead it doesn't change anything. i am aware that this is how masks work, but is there any way to acheive what i'm looking for?

I made a projectAnimate crashedIt re-opened as a recovery file and I kept using and saving on the recovery file for a long time, finding it in the "Recent projects" tab in AnimateAnmate kept crashing so I uninstalled and reinstalled itThat fixed the crashing problem, but now the project is goneI searched for my project but couldn't find itI search for a solution and now I learned that recovery files are kept in Adobe/.../ConfigurationI believe that means I deleted the entire project now that I uninstalled and reinstalled AnimateIs there no way to fix this? 

There was a nice row of tools right above the stage area. I needed more room, so I closed them. Now I can't figure out how to get them back. I don't remember what they all were - just standard stuff - pointer tool, transform tool, probably a rotate tool and quite a few more. Anyone know what those are called and how to get them back?

I was a Flash user and would like to see whether you can create interactive program like with Flash. Strangely whatever object I put on the stage, it's invisible. If I reopen the document with a few objects I added before, I see them briefly and disappear. Is there something wrong with my copy or system. I gave me warning about video driver or something when I first launched the course. My laptop is 3 to 4 years old.

Hi, I'm new to Adobe Animate 2022. I was making a video, all fine, until I exported a scene and the exported video appears to have a layer I don't know where it came from (it wasn't a hidden layer, it wasnt a layer I made, not that I can find where it was.) The thing is, I tried a few things (unclick Ignore Stage Alpha, change to export specific frames, change colors of specific layers) and the unexpected layer changed as I tried different things but it was still there. The only thing that seems to work around this is exporting specific frames, but I still need to figure out why and how to fix it. Please help 😞 Here's some pictures to demonstrate my problem: missing layers that changes as I was trying to figure out the problem, and unexpected layer that wasn't there in the file.   

I have been ask to create a short video with sign language and want to know if I can sync a pair of hands to  tto recorded audio and subtitles?  Is there a puppet hands and wrist to do this?

Fairly new to Animate, though I used Flash many years ago.I have an Animate document (AS 3.0 at this stage) with an imported Illustator file as seperate layers on the stage.  No problems there. Now I want to link certain layers to animate (just move left right, up down) together.  I have done this through layer parenting.  No problems there either. Now there is a button on the stage that I want to use to move some linked layers.  I gather I need to turn the linked layers into a MovieScript symbol.  When doing that, the links disappear and the linked elements lose their connection and spatial relationship. Now I'm wondering if I should be using HTML Canvas (I prefer JavaScript and HTML...).  Though I'm not sure what the benefits either way might be or how I can link layers in HTML5 in Animate. Some advice would be appreciated. Peter

Hi, I've been using Animate for a while when I noticed that whenever I draw with the Brush tool, (both brushes) the lines seem to be misaligned. I can't even draw properly like I did in Photoshop. I've tried every single option and solves, but I can't seem to fix it. It is also obvious that it is a system problem. I even reinstalled my Wacom driver to fix it, but it didn't work.

Hello everyone, I new and learning how to use animate.  So I would like to know is animate good program to use in make a 3d black panther that can breathe fire?  Or should I be using illustrator or another program? Thank you for your suggestions. LB

Hey guys, I'm trying to automate and speed up my work flow, and have come to the understanding that JSFL files are how one can do this.  Been trying to research how to make them, but I'm hitting a wall in understanding how this works.  Basically, I'm trying to get information about the current selection and the layers the selections exist on.So I've been trying to use "fl.getDocumentDOM().selection" to try and get information from that about the selection's layer, but despite autofill seeming to have definition for layer.name for selection, it doesn't work?  I can't use the .name I get from that, I think, to create the string for the "fl.getDocumentDOM().convertToSymbol" box.The basic flow I want from this is:I select the contents from multiple layers.  Lets say there's 3.  Layers are named Head, Body, Arm.With those selected, I go to run this command.  The script should use "fl.getDocumentDOM().selection" to give me each layer's selections separately.&nbs

So just recently before the newest Adobe update my sound was working fine and when I played it on the timeline nothing went wrong but now when I import sound or play sound from files that used to work, I cant hear them at all. I have tried messing around my settings, changing the audio files, and messing around animate settings. I need help as I worry I won't be able to fix the problem before my animation competition and will be screwed if it needs lips syncing. I'll tag some of the audio files. The old working ones and the changed audio version

Is there a way to get rid of the timeline toolbar?I'd rather use keyboard shortcuts and save some display space.I've found how to remove tools from tthis bar, but in the end, removing all tools doesn't cause the whole toolbar to disappear, as far as I can see. 

I have been working on this animation for hours at this and nothing is working. I've been trying repeatedly to do everything I can. I have it saved as a .mov file, which I then compressed to an .mp4 file, and when I check it, it's perfect. However, when I upload it to YouTube, it makes a couple of the frames blurry. Mostly the parts where it shows text, where it's either pixelated or low quality. It confuses me, because at some points, it's completely clear. Also, what's the recommendation for audio settings? I tried Raw 44 hz but it was hurting my ears so I tried something else. It made the volume quality better, but it doesn't sound as clear as the original source. I will provide screenshots or information if needed. I'm fairly new to this software so any kind of help is greatly appreciated. 

I go to oopen the file and it appears to open. I see the timeline and all of the frame info, see the image in the stage, and it looks fine like it's loaded...but the colorwheel never stops spinning. It's like it never finishes loading and Animate stops responding. It doesn't quit unless I force quit it. Just sits there with the colorwheel. PLEASE tell me this file is not corrupt. I have no idea how it could be since I was just in this file last week just looking around. I don't know what I'm going to do if this file does not work-- there goes my paycheck. Anyone have this issue and know how to fix it? My An and OS are up to date, I've restarted multiple times and still the same result. Help!

New to Animate. I have a button symbol on stage and a graphic symbol.  I want to press the button to move the graphic programatically in the positive direction in the X axis.  The graphic needs to move while the button is pressed up to a certain point, then stop,   How should that be done?  Code please.

When I make a symbol its only for that frame, so for things like the auto lipsync feature i cant do becasue not all of my symbols are there, the only symbol that is there is the one of that frame, which is the frame im on.I dont think im explaining my situation very well, sorry but if you think you can help me please reply or reccomend a video or something to go watch that explains the symbols and lipsyncing thing in greater detail becasue ive been trying to look for one, but they keep confusing me. 

Hi there, I want to add a point to a bone between two points.  I've googled enough terms of ' add point between bones' or similar and I'm stumped.
