Animate

I was an avid user of Fireworks years ago and now it doesn't exist. Will any Adobe programs play the animations I created - or use the files from fireworks? 

Hi.Since all masks in animate are discarted and recreated upon publishing, the anchor point is suposed to be in the center of an mask. But when i try to offset the center by adding or decreasing half of its height/width, the mask still does not scale from top. It still moves a bit as if the anchor point is still somwhere near center. How do we change that? Changing Regx amd regy does some random things to position. 

this is my code for Actionscript: //for creating a hexagon on click stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addHex);function addHex(e:MouseEvent):void {var newHex: hex1 = new hex1var size:int = Math.round(Math.random()*50+10);this.addChildAt(newHex, 1);newHex.x= mouseX;newHex.y= mouseY;newHex.width= size;newHex.height= size;} How could I convert this to HTML5?THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Now that Flash Player and Adobe Air are beind depricated by Adobe.  What is the strategy for using action script for scripting Adobe animate?  Should we be using javascript for all scripting at this point? What are scripting optoins and runtine environments for deployment?Scott

I want to show two adobe animate html5 exports on the same page. Is this possible without using iFrames? 

Help! I have this problem in Breaking apart a shape object imported from Photoshop. I made a 2D cartoon in Photoshop and I used shape tool for it. I imported it to Animate CC to make a simple animation. But I can't apply a warp to the layer so I need to use break apart. When I press CTRL+B to break apart, the layer suddenly changed color. I don't know what to do/...Help me T.T

i've looked up the regular solutions to animate crashing, but none of them work.

Hi. Surely a rookie question, but how do you import Illustrator files into Animate and edit them? I have tried a few different import options and the files always seem to be locked and unable to manipulate or edit in any way when brought into Animate .Thanks in advance

I have Macromedia Flash MX 2004 installed on my computer but it won't run. I double click on it and it wont open no matter how many times I do it. Are there any workarounds around this? I'd like to know.   [moderator: edited title for accuracy]

Hey, so was in the process of making my next toon, when i realized the sound file i'd imported doesn't play as move frames on the timeline. It'll play if  I press play from the start of the timeline, but once stop it or try to move the position back or forth it just starts ignoring me all together. This has to be some kind of setting i've accidentally changed, but I can't seem to find what i've done? Anyone else have this problem?

Hello, I am trying to animate a character that I drew on photoshop, so I have layers of different mouth drawings (for lip sync), and eyes (for blinking). I am new to adobe animate and I have no idea what I'm doing ;_; I have looked up so many tutorials but couldn't find the right one.  Where should I start from? and how do I put different layers as the frame changes? right now the mouth and eyes are in each group, mouth (smile mouth, mouth shut, mouth open half...) . If these all makes sense to you please help me😭

Hello! So whenever I make animations, there will be a point where they need to fade, but when I export the video the parts where it fades gets all messed up, I don't know what to do.I use Adobe Animate 2019

Hi,I'm trying to import a video into Adobe Animate for rotoscopying.But every time I try to import, the program crashes. I already tried a 30 second with 30 mb video, a 1 sexcond with less than 1 mb video, mp4, m4v, mov, flv formats and it'always the same error. Is there anything that I can try to do to make it work?I'm using an iMac 2017 w/ 8gb memory, 3,5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and Radeon Pro 575 4 GB

I've been searching this issue and have found only scattered bits of information on this topic.Can anyone offer a definitive word on whether flash projector files will continue to work after 2020? If a user refrains from upgrading their OS, will the projectors continue to function, or, as one contributor suggested, is there a kill-switch that will stop them dead in their tracks as of 1/1/21? We've been working on migrating our applications since word first came out that the end was near, but there are some things that we're finding very difficult to accomplish without Flash, specifically intricate interactive video applications.   My fear is that the flash projectors will simply cease to function as of the new year, and I need to know what to tell our users. Thanks.

I would like to find tutorials that teach anination special effects:For example, You have two layers: The bottom layer has an image and the top layer has a black rectangle. Or what ever. And you want to have a moving anination of a brush or erraser removing across this top layer revealing the image on the bottom layer as this top layer is in motion.  And it is not frame by frame but more like a motion tween. Its fluid movement.Like a brush stroke moving across the page revealing the image below.Do you know where I can learn how to do these kinds of special effects?

Upon updating my Adobe Animate from v19.2.1 to v21.0.2, my current PixiAnimate plugin became incompatible with it.  I tried to update the said plugin, however, I am stuck on the Installing plugin... phase...  I tried to uninstall it, however, I got the Error Code - 11. Does anyone know how I can manually remove the said outdated Adobe Animate Plugin from my Mac? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm an old Flash user who used to make websites and interactive presentations back when Animate was Flash.Tho I've been superficially following up the evolution of Flash into Animte, it's  been ages since I opened up the program.So I need to do a presentation for next week and I thought maybe Animate would be a good option, since Flash was always perfect for presentations, but I've found contradictory information about Animate's ability to publish standanlone projectors.Though the most recent info I can find on the topic (circa Sept. 2020) mentions the projector option will still be there, I can see that it's completely gone from the dialog screen.Is it gone for good? Was there any OS vulnerabilites concern behind this decision?Because I think it would be an excellent idea to keep the standalone option for presentations, and it kinda sucks not to be able to and to have to publish to a file that runs in a browser window. So, what's the current official status of this issue

Hi,  I am looking for a quicker solution to accomplish the following:I want to duplicate a character (graphic symbol), as well as all the symbols nested within (arms, legs, eyes, etc). Duplicating the character symbol only duplicates that first instance, but all the limbs are still instanced of the original character, so I have to duplicate each nested instance as well, which is really time consuming.  I would appreciate advice on how to do this quicker. Thanks!

Hi,When importing files from Adobe Illustrator to Adobe Animat, the colours change slightly in AN to a more faded and dull version  (see screenshot).- I am using the latest AI and AN versions.- Colour settings in Bridge & AI are North American General Purpose 2.- Usually I am copy and pasting files directly from AI but I have also tried to import them to the stage or library but the issue remains. Any help would be greatly appricitated.  Thanks in advance.         

I am trying to include an xml that will be installed with the android app so that my user can save their username in the xml. is there a way to achieve this. I tried including the xml in the publish settings but android is not reading the xml.This is my xml load function if needed.var File1:String = File.applicationDirectory.nativePath; var xmlLoader = new URLLoader(); xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(File1.split("/").join("\\") + "\\config.xml")); xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded); function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void{ loginPanel.rememberMe.enabled = true; myXML = new XML(e.target.data); if(parseInt(StringUtils.between(myXML.toString(),"<Saved>","</Saved>")) == 1) { loginPanel.rememberMe.selected = true; var User:String = StringUtils.between(myXML.toString(),"<User>","</User>"); loginPanel.username.Input.text = User; } } 

I looked for some tool that could help me in the development of a message feed, but I didn't find anything that could guide me. See the example image: https://prnt.sc/ydeq1k  Basically the message is typed in a secondary location, and replicated on the Animate stage through ActionScript 3. Could someone please give me a light? Thanks in advance.

I'm using An2021 and I don't have the option to "draw as fill" with the paintbrush tool which I see in the documentation; at the moment I can only constantly go to modify>shape>convert lines to fills which isn't viable.My PC meets the requirements, everything is up-to-date and Animate should be running on the GPU; I've had success before on a different pc with An2020 though or at least the same effect.

Hello! It would be really great if in the future updates of Animate you can add some gray UI theme so it would be between dark and light themes. The thing is - on the neutral middle gray color (not too dark and too light) you can see better darks and lights of your work. I've made a little picture for you to show you what I'm talking about. Also, the more compact color panel would be great, or just the possibility to minimize it more.Thank you.
