Get help using Adobe Animate and creating animations.
Recently active
I previously had Adobe Animate installed on my external hard drive and it worked fine but it was too hard to keep plugging in as it requires it to be plugged into a power supply. So, i uninstalled all the adobe things on my creative cloud (Including Animate). Now im trying to reinstall it to my new external hard drive but it keeps saying "Unable to install on a network drive" so i tried to install it on my desktop and it says the same thing... How do i stop this from happening???
When I open Animate CC I get several recurring error message windows that continue to appear after clicking ok. eventually after clicking OK enought times I can make them disappear long enough to create a new project or open a file etc.
hello, I use adobe animate for 1 week, I noticed a problem when I moved objects with the directional arrows. When I press a lot of arrows up and down in equivalent ways, the object moves slightly to the right. Same thing for the left / right arrows, the object moves slightly upwards. How to solve the problem? I will give yet another example: when I press the left arrow on the keyboard, the object does not move only on the X axis but also on the Y axis, but why on the y axis?

Hello,Sorry this is a specific answer I'm looking for :s I'm pretty new at using adobe products and for a project at school I have to create an animation, I was planning on doing the foreground and character animation in Animate CC then imposing it on separately moving backgrounds/still images, when editing it in Premiere Pro. Could anyone give me some advice of how to go about this? Many Thanks

I am trying to animate the mask_mc from left to right using TimelineMax. I need a simple setup to set the position then move it across. Help is greatly appreciated. var mask_mc = this.mask_mc;var maskedContent = this.maskedContent;//AlphaGradientMaskmaskedContent.filters = [ new createjs.AlphaMaskFilter(mask_mc.cacheCanvas)];maskedContent.updateCache();// create timelinevar tl = new TimelineMax();tl.to(mask_mc.getChildAt(0), 3,{x:400, onUpdate:updateMask}, 'start')//AlphaMaskFilter needs to be updated on every tick if it has to tween.function updateMask(){ mask_mc.updateCache(); exportRoot.maskedContent.filters = [ new createjs.AlphaMaskFilter(mask_mc.cacheCanvas) ]; exportRoot.maskedContent.updateCache(); console.log('updating');}
Hello!. I need a little help (I think). This code works great in the action panel: selectArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_29); function fl_ClickToGoToScene_29(event:MouseEvent):void{ if (option_440.currentLabel == "uno" && dminorItalian.currentLabel == "uno"){ MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Standars_All"); } else if (option_440.currentLabel == "uno" && bminorItalian.currentLabel == "dos"){ MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(2, "Standars_All"); } else if (option_415.currentLabel == "dos" && dminorItalian.currentLabel == "uno"){ MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(3, "Standars_All"); } else if (option_415.currentLabel == "dos" && bminorItalian.currentLabel == "dos"){ MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(4, "Standars_All"); } else{ MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Standars_All"); } }basically it is an MC (selectArrow) that takes the film to a different scene and, depending on which frames the o

hello everyone, I tried to make an application with adobe animate but it still doesn't work. are you guys can perfect this code: function onButton_85(e:MouseEvent):void{switch (input1.text) { case "sun" : gotoAndPlay(15); break; case "moon": gotoAndPlay(25); break; default: gotoAndStop(46); break; }} I want to make an application for elementary students about the solar system. so when students enter keywords and click the search button, an animation will appear. I am using AS 3. "input1" is the name of the input text and "button_85" is the name for the search button while "moon" and "sun" are examples of keywords to be searched for.the problem is when i use this code there is no error code notification, but the search button doesn't work.
Just like my title says, when I try to move things with the arrow keys for precise moves, the objects move diagonally. But only in one direction. When I press ANY of the arrow keys, it moves diagonally up to the left. Is there a setting I accidentally turned on? I tried installing different versions of Animate but it does it in every version. It wasn't happening earlier in my project, but recently. Is it possible it's attempting to move it backward in a 3D space? Any help would be appreciated, this problem is making it hard for me to align things...

Hi, learner question here, I want to edit some text in Animate, I can double click on the text then edit it fine, but I cannot then find a way to go back to view all layers after that edit without using undo. The 'view active layer' / 'view all layers' burger doesn't take me back it just opens a bit of blank space below the layer I am editing. Advice please. Thanks

Hey I'm super new to animation software (beyond Photoshop gifs) so was wondering if Animate is the best to create a looping loading bar or I should just bite the bullet and jump into AfterEffects?If Animate can do that, and there's a tutorial - doesn't have to be exact - that I couldnt be pointed in the direction of that'd be much appreciated.Not sure if it's relevant but I'm very well versed in Photoshop, Illustator, and InDesign. Thanks!
Hello fellas, my Adobe Animate crashes at random intervals of 15 secods after each time I attempt opening it, anyone got some ideas for a solution? Re-Installing doesn't work. Other adobe stuff works well i.e Illustrator/photoshop. I have several projects to finish by the end of the week but the app just wont cooperate ;(Hope someone finds a better solution than throwing my computer from the window of the 10th floor
Can anyone tell me why the Brush tool in Animate responds differently than in my old version of Flash.I am using pressure sensitive in both but in flash the tool seems to be much more expressive (the lines vary more in thickness) whereas in Animate (Classic Brush) the line has a much more consistant width.Can I adjust settings to get the same effect? I can't find settings to do this.See attached examples.
I need to use Animate and Character animate to help my son with a college project, studying at University of arts London. The latest version is not compatible with my Mac. I have ticked the show older versions box in preferences but they do not appear on the downloads page?! I can't afford to buy a new computer and I am paying a lot each month to use Adobe but can't access the software!
I'm fairly new to flash, I got the program from the school package and I'm currently making an animation for a school project, now about halfway through a 2 hour session of making my animation, blue outlined boxes started appearing around everything i drew (pencil drawings, boxes, circles, ect) and it's really frustrating to work with (for various reasons).how to I remove these blue boxes?
Adding some basic drag and drop to a project resulted in a blank movie when I tested it. So I created a new project with just one object (ball) and applied this drag and drop Actionscript to it. Still getting a empty canvas when I test it. I'm sure I'm missing something basic, but I am not seeing it if anyone else can please. ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag); function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void { ball.startDrag(); } stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop); function fl_ReleaseToDrop(event:MouseEvent):void { ball.stopDrag(); }
Hi, I'm using Animate to auto lip sync my characters, and it works great, but begins to lag after about 15 seconds. My animations range between 2 and 5 minutes and the auto lip sync ends up being very far off the mark by the end. Does anyone else have this issue or a solution to this problem? Currently, I take the mouth into after effects and fix the lag manually but it would save lots of time if I could find a better solution. Thanks!

So I have the most up-to-date Adobe Animate 2021, Yesterday 3/26 I was working on a college project where I have to create a small animation with characters. My computer was glitching in a way where you saw lines coming across your screen sort of like when a tv doesnt have good signal. It didn't really come to mind when it was happen and I thought it was just my laptop but I think it is a glitch in the program. I shut down my computer and restarted it, It still was acting the same so I worked on my project anyways because it had to be done. I did a "save as" when I was done a put "Final_326.fla" as the title. Today 3/27 I startup my laptop and The file has disappeared. I have looked everywhere on my computer. I went into my "recents" on Adobe Animate and it says "The file does not exist or can't be found". I found recovery files from yesterdays date but its only in TextEdit with a bunch of symbols. The only screw up on my part was not putting it on a hard drive.... so now I'm stuck.&nb
Following is the simple code that I have for dragging around a ball. It works fine on the desktop browsers, but not on phones and tablets.function dragFunction(){ const canvasStage = new createjs.Stage("canvas"); createjs.Touch.enable(canvasStage, true, false); function onMove(event){ this.circle.x = event.stageX / stage.scaleX; this.circle.y = event.stageY / stage.scaleY; } /** ---- Mousemove ---- **/ let mousedown = false; this.circle.on("mousedown", () => mousedown = true); canvasStage.on("stagemousemove", (e) => mousedown && onMove.bind(this)(e)); canvasStage.on("mouseup", () => mousedown = false); /** ------------------- **/ /** ---- Pressmove ---- **/ // this.circle.on("pressmove", onMove.bind(this)); /** ------------------- **/ } Someone has already asked this question before, and they did not get satisfactory answers. Someone else answered that the touch has to be prevented on the
When I try to export a GIF, it's saving as PDFs of the frames. I have exported GIFs before and have not run into this problem. Has anyone dealt with/solved this problem before?I'm working on a Macbook and have attached a screenshot of the export settings below.
