Scrolling graphic

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)

My animation file seems to have disappeared.

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.

Pencil tool is missing in Animate 2020

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.

Using Font-Families with Dynamic Text

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.

Clicktag implementation

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.&

Pixelated Images

Hi. I have a problem with some of my work. I noticed that sometimes when I add too many images or too big, it changes the graphic quality of some of them. The images are pixelated. Does anyone know the reason why I get this problem and how can I solve it? Thank you.

Simple way to share completed HTML5 animated projects

Hi all,  I aoplogize in advance for an eye roller of a n00b question, but here goes... Is there a simple way to share completed HTML5 projects that are exported from Aniamte? My team needs to share numerous, eight second HTML5 animated projects multiple times per week. Hoping to have the projects in a list format, with click to animate functionality. Is there a simple way to do this using Adobe apps? or adobe apps + google sites/drive? The different options feel overwhelming right now and I am reluctant to pull the trigger on a direction until I have gathered enough input from people in the know. To summarize - I am hoping to find a simple, web accessable holding area to dispay multiple HTML5 projects at once, which can be static until clicked on to show the animtation. Wondering if Adobe offeres something that can help me or if anyone has any other ideas.  Thanks everyone,E     Has anyone used google sites for something

The Pencil and Paint Brush tool keep drawing after I Lift My Pen

I am using a Huion Kamvas GT 190 in Adobe Animate 2019 (this issue happens across versions so updating doesn't help) and when ever I use the Pencil or Pain Brush tools the line continues to draw until my pen has been lifted high enough it isn't tracked. I've seen guides for people with this same issue that are using Wacom tablets, but it usually won't translate over to Huion. So, if anyone knows how to fix this I'd really appreciate it.

Graphic issues when exporting .SWF

Hi! I was trying to export a .swf image from Animate, and when I opened the .swf up again to test it in the same program, all of the achor handles had been disabled-- so all of my curves for the vector images were now sharp.info:- The initial art was made in a trial version of the current Illustrator CC, and was imported into the current trial version of Animate- There was no animation- just a still image- It seemed almost all of the anchors were affected, whether or not they were graphics, movie files, symbols, or broken down to the lowest tier where all the colors and shapes are combined to one layer- The .swf would not open in a previewer (SWF file player), I could only view it inside Animate. When I tried to open it in a previewer I only got a an old flash icon in the middle of the screen, with an rollover- it didn't do anything when I clicked on it though.- I was not given any options when I exported the .swf- I thought maybe I didn't have the .NET framework, but I doAny help with

Animate bridge to other adobe programs

Adobe Animate bridge to photoshop, like Premiere bridges with After Effects and Cinema 4d. That would be nice.

Error 5002 for SWF

Each time I go to export a swf to watch a play back of my animation I get this error code, I dont know if its effecting anything because its just a warning messeage but its getting really anonying. It says " Line 1, Column 1 Warning: 5002: The main timeline's frame scripts have been ignored because a compiled clip contains a definition for Scene1_2_fla.MainTimeline. To override the Scene1_2_fla.MainTimeline definition, place a custom class file within your classpath." Im not a coder or know anything about this, Ive looked all over the internet and im clueless. The other thread talking about this error never got a reply or a fix.

Screenshot button of frame

In my online html5 canvas game I want the user to be able to download the score of the game as an image. In the forum I've found a script that works very good! _this.DownloadReset.SaveImage.on('click', function(){var aTag = document.createElement('a');aTag.setAttribute('href', canvas.toDataURL("image/png"));aTag.innerHTML = "Download";aTag.download = "This_is_your_story.png";document.body.appendChild(aTag);}); But I actually want the user to download it with a button within my interface. This shows a download text outside of the div. Is there a easy fix for that? Instance name of my button is "SaveImage".

Touch events API Chrome 70 now disabled in default settings.

Hi,the last Chrome update has blocked touch events on canvas, such as moving with objects. You need now manually(!!) enter into chrome://flags and enabled Touch events API. The same problem is with Edge, here is it necessary set in about:flags.When I display HTML5 canvas scene in a browser, it is not possible to move with the finger on the touch screen with the object "obj". Is there some way to solve it in Adobe Animate code?Here is my code://_this=thisvar offset;function setobject(evt){ var p1 = _this.globalToLocal(evt.stageX, evt.stageY); this.offset = {x: evt.currentTarget.x - p1.x,y: evt.currentTarget.y - p1.y};}function moveobject(evt){ var p = _this.globalToLocal(evt.stageX, evt.stageY); evt.currentTarget.x = p.x + this.offset.x; evt.currentTarget.y = p.y + this.offset.y;}this.obj.addEventListener("mousedown", setobject)this.obj.addEventListener("pressmove", moveobject)//When I set for example "touch-action: none" in CSS, it seems to help but it does not work with a multi-touch
