Hi, I'm building a simple menu from an XML file, and I'd like to add links to the menu items.  Something like:root.menu_txt.text = "flowers";root.menu_txt.link = "http://www.flowers.com";I didn't find anything with my Google search; I'm hoping the community can help me out!

I would like to know why the adobe animate camera isnt' available on the tools. I made the animation and when i try to zoom it the camera tool wasnt' available. Thank you

I'm having a problem where, when I parent my layers, my child symbols move in a completely wrong direction. I want the whole speaker and the words to move as one unit while the words slide out.  This is my first frame:And this is my last (the words slide out from behind the speaker):  I have the words set to Tween < Ease In-Out Quart. When I don't parent the layers, the words slide out along their angle just fine. But, when I parent the layers, this is what one of the tweened slides look like: I have no idea why it does that but the words are no where near the speaker. This is what the words look like without parenting: I'm trying to have both the speaker and words move in tandem without interrupting the movement of the words sliding out.  

This is driving me insane!! what am i missing!!? why can i not find the answer!? can some please please (pretty please) provide me with a step  by step instructions on how to prepare/publish my animate file for google adwords. every time i search for answers they are 5 years out of date!!

Does anyone know what is the purpose of adding 'color effect' changes by selecting the keyframe(and not the symbol on the stage) and adding a color effect? The normally black keyframe turns 'white' ? Normally you select the symbol and then select a property however now you can select the keyframe of the symbol and then change the property of 'color'. What results is a little confusing as well. 

Hi everybody,I use Animate version 21.0.4 on Mac to publish HTML canvas interactive animation. The animation is published on local server.When I double click on the published folder html from macintosh desktops : no problem. The animation and interactions are correctly displayed.When I double click on the html from Windows desktops (Windows 10) : problem. The animation isn't displayed after the loading icon stops playing. I have a blank page.Anyone has the same issue ?I'm upgrading to Animate version 21.0.9 for new test.Thanks for any help

Hello, so i am working on animate 2020, and sometimes once I am transforming (Q or Ctrl + T) on the active layer, animate takes some underneath layers and write on it, hence some drawings are copying in the same frames of the timeline than my current layer and I always have to cut and delete these extensions.Someone already has this type of problem? thanks!

こんにちは。Animate CCの回転ツールを使用してパーツを回転させたとき、変形ウィンドウを見ると回転ではなく傾斜で回転がかかってしまっていることがあり、後々の作業で支障が出るため、あらかじめ傾斜の数値が0°のまま変わらないようにしたいのですが可能でしょうか？よろしくお願いします。

Hi Adobe folks, I'm trying to get Animate to retrieve the current date. I found this doc from a collegue: https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/animate/using/html-publishing-templates.html But nothing that discussed actual date/time. Is it possible to do this dynamically at all? 

Hello,I am wondering is it possible that we can create a shape with mouse then fill color with mouse in canvas. I am not talking inside animateCC app but in exported animatecc canvas file.Thanks

I am working on a feature at Midnight Kids and have to convert Animate files into Illustrator files so they can be used in After Effects to rig characters. To do this I have to export an SVG, open it in Illustrator, release layers and then run a script to name the layers what the original layers were named, save and quit. Only then can I open the Illustrator file in After Effects for rigging. I know you can bring in .swf files now but they are soooo slow in After Effects. Is there any way to export an Animate CC file into Illustrator directly? If this isn't possible I'd like that feature to be added. It would mean we wouldn't have to switch to Harmony!

I've been working on this 1 animation for months now and finished it a few days ago but the problem is that when I test the movie the animation ends approx. 10 frames or so too early. The same happens when I export the animation. What would be a good solution for this?

We have a number of projects made with Animate 2018 or earlier. Opening these projects in Animate 2019 or newer usually breaks things. Has anyone figured out a way to install Animate CC 2018 now that Adobe has discontinued support for installing these older versions?

So I import my png image to animate, and I converted it on Graphic, Them I am trying to smoth, and optimize image on the toolbar modify/shape/smoth, but it does not let me. Please help me 

I created an animation (in vector) and when I exported the sprite sheet the size was small compared to what I wanted, and now I'm trying to change the size of the entire animation but I can't find where

I'm not sure why it happened, but this is a recurring problem that will randomly show its face. I am honestly baffled how something that is so expensive is able to have such an abundance of bugs, but I digress. This makes it nearly impossible to use the brush tool. Ya'know, one of the main tools in this software. I'm trying not to come off as too upset, but I genuinely am pissed cause it's not like this software is cheap, and all of the money that is being paid to use it goes to this... just look at the video. Black boxes are everywhere, and it becomes unusable.I don't have this issue with any other software or even games. I have a well built PC, no just Adobe not wanting to work because why should it actually work.What's the issue here? 

I'm updating my iOS app written by Animate.But I rejected by Apple because of bellow reason.-------Guideline 2.5.1 - Performance - Software RequirementsYour app uses or references the following non-public APIs:"_IOPSGetPowerSourceDescription, _IOPSCopyPowerSourcesList, _IOPSCopyPowerSourcesInfo"The use of non-public APIs is not permitted on the App Store because it can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change.

Morning All I have an animated bubble that pops repeatedly in my project. Its a graphic file (rather than a Movie clip) as thats the required format for the job. Is it poossible to insert a SFX inside the graphic clip to have it play automatically each time the animation runs rather than manually adding the sound file to the main time line?Currently its looking like I can't

I have a stage color set to #0B0E16 but when I export to GIF I get transparent or white.  I would expect the stage color to be included or for there to be an option in the export presets. Any suggestion how to include stage color with export please?

Hello, I am pretty frustrated right now, as I just paid for Animate and find out I can't even download older versions it seems. I need help to download an older version that works on Windows 8.1, or I need to cancel my subscription. Someone please help me if it is possible to download a past version of Animate 😞

Hi, I'm new to Adobe Animate. I have created larger images on Procreate and exported as png files. Imported it on Animate and scaled down to ~25%. Image looks distorted/pixelated. Usually on photoshop, clarity will be almost same after scaling down but not happening in Animate. Is there any other format to be used in Animate from Procreate?

 There is already a similar proposalhttps://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/animate-ui-2020-2021/m-p/11601537https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/properties-panels-interface-doesn-t-resize-properly/m-p/11628308#M337954 

Whenever I try to play a track with audio, it only works when I start from the begining. Oddly enough, it works fine on projects made by others, but that might just be some special cases.
