When I select an asset often times a strange gray rectangle appears. It goes away once I click somewhere else. Although sometimes it will show up even when I'm just playing the animation (not in test mode though) What is this?

Preloader in HTML5

Can someone help me understand how to use the built-in preloader function in adobe animate when exporting an HTML5 file.  I have used preloaders before in Flash 8 actionscript 2, no problem.  But I want to try a preloader in a document I create in HTML5 to view in browser.  I have checked the preloader button in publish settings and even clicked on preview but I don't see anything happen.  When I run the html file in a browser, I see no preloader.  My file is not that big but certainly would be big enough for a preloader to not just speed through it so fast that I don't see anything.  So can you tell me how to preview a preloader and make sure it is working.  I assume that I upload the image folder that contains the preloader graphic(s) as well as the html file and js file (assuming they are not published as a single html file).Thank you!

Current Universal Specs for Animated Display Ads

Howdy, all. I'm wondering if there is a set of universally accepted specs for present-day animated display ads. The sizes I've been using are: 300 x 250728 x 90300 x 600320 x 100160 x 600320 x 50 Does that seem correct to everyone? Does anyone know the length of time most sites accept for animation? File size...? Any insight can help at this point. Thanks!

Lip-sync syncs with audio too late

I've recently ran into this problem where the auto-lip-sync will sync up with the audio its referring to around 6-7 frames too late. Its annoying that I have to nudge them over to the correct spot in the timeline but it has become very tedious. Is there a fix to where it'll sync to my audio correctly instead of too late?

HTML banners embedding into emails

Hey everyone! I'm looking at improving some email design and currently for the header banner we are importing GIFs to add a bit of movement to our emails. It seems to help with open rate but i think sometimes GIFs obviously look grainy. I'd like to explore embedding HTML banners so that it's a coded 'graphic element' as opposed to an image file. Can I create an animated banner in Animate and export out for embedding into an email CRM like hubspot? If so, how would I go about that? 🙂  Any ideas/help is appreciated.

Canvas mode script bugs??

I am coming across bugs. I am not able to identify what is happening. I will have some basic script written that is working well. I add some code for a new vaariable to a dynamic text field or transforming a movie clip. It may have a script error and after correcting the script error - it still doesn't work. Like maybe ghost characters or something. The corrected script doesn't have errors, but it will not work anymore.

Questions

100+ year long animation

I have a question about Animate to see if it will work for me.I am looking for software to create an animation with extremely slow transitions that will run for an extremely long time. First, I want to know if I can set a long time between transitions (like months) and how long I can drag out a transition between frames. My goal is to make a relatively simple animation take 100 plus years to complete as something occurs in near real time. Is this possible with animate?  Second, is this possible without making a stupidly humongous file?  (Hence the desire to set a long time between transitions)I apologize if my terminology is wrong for Animate, I've not used it before.  Thanks!Sol

Animate support Canvas mode developing e-learning content

I am back working in Flash/Animate after several years to develop e-learning content for online courses. I have not worked in Canvas Mode until now and was failrly comfortable working in AS3. In working in Canvas mode I am having trouble with MovieClips and variables. I am having trouble communicating from MovieClip to MovieClip. I am also trying to set variables and text fields and having trouble setting a text field from a variable. For example, two Movie clips on the main timeline. One Movie Clip has a text field and the other has a button. Press the button in the second Movie Clip sets the text field in the first Movie Clip form a global variable set on the maine timeline. Anyone have easy answers? Or better yet are their any good new resources for learning scripting in Animate Canvas mode. I realize its JS, but it also has unique IDE. Any good lessons, tutorials for targeting Movie Clips. and passing variables would be great.

Publishing iOS app created in Animate

I am not what you would consider an app developer, but a few years back using Adobe Animate a lot of YouTube tutorials, google searches and this community I managed to develop an iOS based on the UK driving test. To date I have reached over 12000 downloads 99% from the UK market and featured in the 'Learn to drive the easy way" story on the app store.  Small change I know! but for a one man band with no experience or advertising I’m happy.I have recently wanted to update the app and publish a second to support the first one. I am really struggling to get anywhere when publishing. Is it even possible to do anymore? I’m feeling very overwhelmed and any advise would be appreciated. (Even if the advise is for me to give up haha)I have downloaded the new Harman Air SDK but my Mac wont even let me debug on desktop“adl” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

Animate 22.0 Fills Only Paint has problems

Hey All,In the latest update, the "Paint Fills Only" mode is not working correctly.The first stroke is fine, but then my the application freezes while it thinks about it. It unfreezes several seconds later, but as you might guess, this pretty much prevents me from using this mode. Anyone else aware/experiencing this issue?

Parenting tool keeps causing anite to crash?

Seth here, again. Since I couldn't get the puppet rig tool to function properly without error, I switched to the parenting layers function. This worked like a charm for a bit, but I have to save every time i get ready to start connecting the layers because every other time it causes the program to crash. What's causing this? Is it a common thing?
