Animate

Sorry if this is basic knowledge, but how do I set my lasso tool to select objects only on the active layer, not all layers?

New user here. Trying out parenting layers. How do I make sure all frames in a layer are unparented at once. My issue is I've removed a layer parent, but some frames in the layer remain parented. It appears I have to go frame by frame and unparent each one. I must be missing something. Thanks

Could someone please tell me the code to how to stop the swipe when on a diffrent scene test1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_9);function fl_ClickToGoToScene_9(event:MouseEvent):void{MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Scene 2");}/* Swipe to Go to Next/Previous Frame and StopSwiping the stage moves the playhead to the next/previous frame and stops the movie.*/Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE;stage.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, fl_SwipeToGoToNextPreviousFrame_30);function fl_SwipeToGoToNextPreviousFrame_30(event:TransformGestureEvent):void{if(event.offsetX == 1){// swiped rightgotoAndPlay(2);}else if(event.offsetX == -1){// swiped leftgotoAndPlay(1);}}

    Hi, there!    I've been trying to use layer effects on Animate CC 2020 with After Effects 2020 (actionscript 3 file, not html5 canvas) and they are simply not been exported. Advanced layers are checked, i tried importing both .swf and .fla files, i've tried exporting different .swf versions - and i actually have tried exporting a movie from Animate itself* and EVEN THEN layer effects are ignored. There is a message on the output panel that says that layer styles are DISABLED on .swf...   Does anybody work with layer effects here and could help? Thanks on advance. (*) - By the way, animate generates an UNCOMPRESSED .mov before sending it to the movie encoder... very time and machine consuming, that's why i'd rather export a .swf and use it on after.

Seems almost silly to ask but I have a simple animation with a loop. Frame 1  (0) code:var _this = this;_this.stop();var _this = this;_this.IndexNext1.on('click', function(){_this.gotoAndPlay('Indx1');});This works. On frame 100, if I use this code, it doesn't work:var _this = this;_this.gotoAndPlay('indx1');However, if I send it to a different frame with this code, it works:var _this = this;_this.gotoAndPlay('repeat1'); I figure I'm missing a basic concept here, but I don't know what it is.  Is there a better way to move the playhead to a labeled frame? Thanks! 

Hi there, I'm trying to figure out how to colour in Animate with the bucket tool. I've tried many solutions, such as converting my drawings to symbols, duplicating the layer and colouring on the duplicated one, unlocking the bucket tool or even using different brushes (and making sure there are no gaps). Even working on the line art layer won't work. I just can't seem to figure out why my bucket isn't even working! Can someone please inform me on what to do?

Hello All,I know Adobe wants nothing to do with Flash but quick question: Does anyone know how to export content from After Effects to Animate? Since, the FLV option is no longer available in AE or Media Encoder.

Hi there, I had compiled two apps, one for Android and one for iOS using Adobe Animate. This was last year. Now, when I open the ios fla file, i am unable to access the toolbox in settings (it was for AIR SDK version 33.1.1.217. The message that showed was 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed'. I had assumed it was an older AIR SDK version. So, i downloaded the latest version (action script compiler for MAC) from HARMAN. I then extracted the file and pasted the folder into Animate. Now, the new AIR SDK version shows in the settings, but the 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' message still shows and I can't access the toolbox in settings.   Kindly advise. Aris  

when i finish the project and click test it shows the final clip with white residual size on the sides     

I've just upgraded and am not sure what output settings I need to tweak to get a PNG image sequence to be full resolution. I'm animating a lot of pages of text, which were always legible in my old version of Animate, but now are illegible. thanksJohn Hepworth

Hi all 🙂I am having trouble preserving image quality when exporting symbols as PNG sequences from Animate.On the left is the symbol on the Animate stage, and on the right is the exported PNG. As you can see, it's not great 😞My first thought was to bump up the DPI on the export, but I'm not able to do that without increasing the overall size of the image so that doesn't help at all, either.I need the image at the original size at the original high quality, in PNG format. Is that at all possible with Animate?Is it possible through some convoluted way of exporting it into some other CC application and then exporting it to a PNG? Thanks so much,Sam

Hi, please help me. I design animated banners (.html5 canvas document file). my way: 1. export photos from photoshop to JPEG or PNG. 2. import into the software 3. pretty simple animation ( scale. positon. opacity. overlay Blend) 4. output .html5 file (I get: 1 java file. 1 html file. 1 image set). but my .html5 file doesn't show products. it is a black color. The software does not report any errors. I redo it 5 times to find the error. I guarantee the error is not caused by search engines or materials. I make 5 products, 2 products are not defective. 3 products not displayed. support team worked but they couldn't come up with a cause. please tell me why this error occurs.This is my product:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wQJn_kRHVnPF0Dzyhn8jWUja2f-9rtMx/view?usp=sharingThank guys 

Hi i have a problem with DOMElement added to animate cc scene. The positions of domeElement seams not aligned properly when you start zooming the stage via browser (ctrl +)Ive tested DOMElement without adobe animate divs, and there is no such behavior. It seams like the element is getting double the offset needed in animate sceene to be aligned perfecly.Any clue on that ?  var dom_obj = new createjs.DOMElement(divContainer); stage.addChild(dom_obj); 

When I open Animate from anywhere or open an Animate file the window opens as shown and can't be interacted with. I can close the window from task manager but that's it. I've already rebooted the PC and uninstalled andreinstalled Animate from Creative Cloud.

FYI, the animation is 69 frames long, there are 5 symbols, 1 has 5 frames, and the others have 2. I am exporting those symbols only. yet it still does this PLEASE HELP!!

how to take out splash screen or logo of harman it is shown at  start when app or exe is open 

I would like to change the compression default so that each time I import images to the Stage or Library, Lossless is set. In Export settings there is no Lossless setting, only what's shown in the included image which doesn't seem to affect the default Import settings. I also can't find a way to set the Default Profile or create another profile that is available everytime I make a new FLA file. Thanks in advance!

Can anyone support me with this

I actually found the answer in case this happens to anyone and gets frustrated. For some reason I opened my program and I couldn't click anything. No button, no create new, no open, nothing. It was just like a window popped up and that's that, click anywhere and even try to exit, it'll give that error windows sound. Sadly, there's (hopefully in your case) a white block in the corner that you click. Should disappear, then be able to click anywhere. Frustrated me so hope this helps anyone out there.

This Canvas project works beautifully on the desktop, but I need to enable a user to drag and drop the bar on a tablet or mobile device as well. I've seen several related posts, but none of those suggestions are working for me. I have made several substitutions for "pressmove" such as touchstart, touchmove, but doing so breaks the desktop function before I've had a chance to test on tablets. var startDrag = startDragF.bind(this); this.Bar.addEventListener("pressmove", startDrag); function startDragF(e){ var p = stage.globalToLocal(e.stageX, e.stageY); e.currentTarget.y = p.y; };  

I have created an Interstitial ad using Adobe Animate. I am having trouble with the clickTags. First I need 2 separate click tags, one is for the CTA button and the other is for the entire canvas. Lastly I need a clickTag to for the close button. I have searched everywhere and can't seem to get this to work. Can someone please help me with this. The ad is for Google Doubleclick. I am using a Mac. Let me know what other info i need to provide. 

Hi everyone!I was working just fine, but suddenly I had this problem.If I want to draw a pose that will be on screen for just one frame, it doesn't disappear when it should. So all keyframes remain there on the screen, instead of disappearing to make the animation work. PS. Onion Skin is not enabled. Don't know what happens. Thanks in advance for any help!

Is anyone else having this problem?The Keyboard shortcuts will not appear, but animate will think it has and therefore will not let me use the program until i close out of it. This is incredibly annoying since there are new hotkeys I need to make and I can no longer make them now that the shortcut window doesn't appear. Alternative problem could be my multiple display and that the Keyboard shortcuts window is hiding from all of them. Here is a link that will better describe my problem visually:Keyboard shortcuts will not appear - YouTube But back to the main question. Is this a bug that other people are experiencing? If not, then I sure am and Adobe should add a fail safe patch that prevents anybody from losing the Keyboard shortcuts window. Alternate question that relates to my multiple screen. Is there a way to reset adobe animate to get me back in a position where the Keyboard shortcuts window will appear on my main monitor and not some mysterious now disconnected monitor from when

Hello, I'm working on an Adobe Animate file. It's not very complex, but there are a ton of symbols. When I try to combine the symbols into a single layer, I keep getting this error message:  I tried updating to the latest version (I was on 2017, previously), trying the (previous) 2020 version, deleting preferences, uninstalling/installing, etc. I can't figure it out. If I save the file at this stage and reopen it, I get this error message:  Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem! It's driving me nuts.
