Animate

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  

Hello. Im having couple of questions about timeline controls. Why its so big? Can I Hide it somehow with not hiding my layers in th same time. Or can I make it smaller?

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.

Hello,I have the following code from an old conversation (Animate HTML5)var startPoint = {x:500, y:250}; var endPoint = {x:500, y:250}; var shapePt = new createjs.Shape(); this.addChild(shapePt); createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", tick); function tick() { endPoint.x -= 1.8; shapePt.graphics.clear(). setStrokeStyle(2). beginStroke("green"). moveTo(startPoint.x, startPoint.y). lineTo(endPoint.x, endPoint.y);I want the line to be a curve that depends on the coordinates of a point in order to draw a scrolling graph. I tried adding :createjs.Tween.get(startPoint), {loop: -1}) .to({x:500, y: startPoint.y + 100},1200) .to({x:500, y: startPoint.y})But I can't get it to work. Could someone please help me ?Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

I don't have the working file for my animation anymore. This may not be a problem with Adobe Animate. Maybe it was a mistake I made or it was a problem with my Mac. -It is in my "Recent projects" list in Animate, but once I clicked on it, a message told me it no longer exists-I have screenshots of the project and an exported gif of the project all in the folder I expected it to be in, but the working file is not there-I have used the search function to find it in my Mac, but there are no results-I have searched iCloud storage and have not found it there-I have searched the trash and have not found it there-I have searched ~/Library/[...]/Configurations and have not found it thereAny suggestions would be appreciated. I worked quite hard on it. 

The Pencil tool is completely absent in my version of Animate 2020. I'm working through the tutorials in the Animate 2020 release of Classroom in a Book. That's when I noticed the Pencil tool is missing ... in both ActionScript 3 and HTML5 Canvas. I assume it's supposed to be there. I saw some other postings here about the Pencil tool not working quite right, but mine is just not there. Is there anything I can do to get it back? Thanks.

please after converting my art work into symbols , how can i save it permanently in my library ❓it usually get loss when I close the window . Please help me  

Cannot seem to find the answer to this. In Edge you used to be able to define custom font families for fonts by writing them in a CSS sequence: Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif, etcIn animate CC 2017 I am looking for an option that lets me do this with dynamic text (for compliance reasons.) Right now if i wanted to use a font such as Helvetica Light, I could set it as dynamic (and the only font) but with no fallback any machine that does not have it seems to just default to the system font which is much bolder. The dropdown menu in the character panel only allows me to pick one font, so is there a way to set up a sequence for dynamic text within the interface? Webfont is not an option for me since some ad networks our client is running on cannot accept external font references.

Hi, I am tracing handwriting on after effects using the pen and stroke tools, i have traced all of my letters perfectly but the letter s keeps on picking up another bit of the s(see image) and i cannot seem to fix this. The only thing that makes it go is when the brush size is very small but i want a high brush size but it just wont trace round atll. Any tips please?? I have tried creating two separate masks but it just doesnt work at all for me

Hi, I need help in implementation of the clicktag on Animate as until recent i was working on Edge Animate which was great for HTML5 banner creation. I am trying to create a banner for DCM where i have a replay button on the top corner. So when i add the below code the HTML file to add the clicktag. I have not added any action code on my Animate file as i was reading there should not be any code on animate and only the below should be added to the HTML file. So after i do this - and test my banner on HTML5 validator - when i click the replay button it opens the URL and runs the banner on replay. But is there as way that the replay button sits on top of the clicktag so it only triggers on action? <html><head><meta name="ad.size" content="width=300,height=250"><script type="text/javascript">var clickTag = "http://www.google.com"; </script></head> Appreciate if you can help with this as i have to deliver this for a client this week.&

I'm new to animate and made my first animation, but when I go to test the movie or to export it, the progress bar gets to 100 and then it crashes.  I tried each scene individually and they each work on their own, but not the entire movie.  Thanks for any help you can give!
