In my Animate project (HTML 5) I have a button on the main timeline. When clicked it goes to a specific frame on the main timeline. That works fine. From there I have a different button that needs to trigger a movie clip AND a specific frame.  For the life of me I am unable to figure this out. Can anyone help me out?Let me know if you need more information. I would be happy to give you what ever you need.

Help - How to convert ActionScript3.0code to HTML5 in Animate CC?AS3:import flash.geom.Rectangle;var text_1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(406, 96, 0,-503);text.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void{drag_text.startDrag(false, text_1);}drag_text.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop);function fl_ReleaseToDrop(event:MouseEvent):void{stopDrag();}  Thanks

I am using the older 18.0.02 version of animate, but cannot get the .swf export to work.I have used Animate for illustration from way back in the Flash days as I have always found the drawing quality really useable. In the old days I always used to be able to export as a .ai file which I could then edit further in illustrator, and I'm sure I have in the past managed to export swf.It's a real shame if there is no way to export vector artwork like this, as I have never managed to find an alternative that compares. I need to create some scaleable AW and nothing else works as well for drawing in vectors as Animate! Any ideas how to get the swf export to work? Would it work in the new version of Animate? I'm running a pretty old laptop and peripherals and don't want to update my operating system if I can avoid it (which I'd have to in order to run the new version) Thanks! 

Hello, I am currently working on a project where I want buttons colors to be changed to the background color, so that it creates an effect where the button vanishes once pressed. I have had success with the over state of the button, but when pressed the button will not change color and then stay on that color

[Moderator moved from Flash Player to Animate.]   I am still animating on Flash Professional CS6, and am perfectly happy with it, but want the ability to convert files to HTML5. I want to download the "Adobe Flash Professional Tookit for Create JS", to this end. When I open Adobe Extention Manager, to download the Toolkit, this is the screen that I am shown: Don't know if you can read all that small type, or not, but the bottom of the screen describes the "Toolkit" as something that would do exactly what I want. I am not familiar with using Extension Manager, though, and am concerned that if I click the "Install" icon at the top of the page, I may actually wind up deleting the Flash Professional application, which has a "Remove" button to the right of it. So- dumb question- what do I do/click on here, to install the Toolkit without dis-installing Flash? And will the Tookit still work in 2021?

   I have developed a series of programs for use by my students. They use a range of platforms and browsers, so I put the programs on a server and they work perfectly except for those that have sound. If I erase the sound code below (or erase the sounds folder) they download, but if I include the sound code then all I get is a blank screen. Also, it works when I publish it on my computer.   Here is the part of the code that seems to be providing the problem:for (i = 0; 1 <= 60; i++){if (i == 14){var audio1 = createjs.Sound.play("beep");}if (i == 39){var audio2 = createjs.Sound.play("beep");}}   The above is part of additional lines of code that draws on the screen. The student clicks the mouse when they hear the sound (beep), which is located in the library as beep.wav (linkage = "beep").

HiI am evaluating animate as a potential tool for making our online games / puzzles. So I should say I dont know much about animate yet. Is there anyway to keep states of the project for a user, between sessions? For example, if a user progresses in a project, and gets to a certain point in the game, or certain variables are set, if they restart or come back at a later time, is there any state saved, or anyway to save it? Is that built in, or have to do with javascript and cookies? (I know just enough about javascript to know thats an option in theory)

Ive built a character with the parenting tool, but now when I try to parent a new symbol to the body(or any other part thats apart of my character) it move my symbol across the canvas. when I try to move it back to where I wanted it, it moves in the oppiste direction. When I try to move the center part ( the part that the symbol rotates around) it move the symbol more drastically. I have no clue whats going on becouse all my other parts of my character works. The only thing that has change between this new symbol and the other parts that work is that I made this character a month ago and now im trying to continue it. also I copied my character to a new project.This is my character before I make the new symbol (the shadow) apart of the parenting. As you see above I got it to work with my other characters.this is after I parent it with the body (ive tried other parts to parent it with and it does the same thing) It moves the shadow really far, and if I try to move back to under my c

Only I do not manage to chain actions. I am familiar with some scripting.so i need the scripting for  one character so that i will copy that for every character.please help me on thisThanks for reading this loooooong message.hoping for some scripting.

Hi everyone, its my first post here and i hope i can find help. I use to work on machintosh and recently I switched on windows. And here the first issue i have since I'm working on it : If I press "e" to use the eraser, many times its gonna select the "help"wich is located next to "window". I tried to change the shortcut  by replacing "e" by "r", but it change nothing, it just open "control" next to "debug". It appears to be random, but its very very annoying. Do you know how to solve this problem ? wish you a good yearbestmalec

Buenos días me gustaría saber qué proyector utiliza Animate. Vengo de Flash, hoy día obsoleto, y me da miedo que mis futuros proyectos en Animate puedan quedar obsoletos también, por eso me gustaría asegurarme de que cuenta con un proyector distinto de Flash Player y que está actualizado y cuenta con garantías. Me gustaría saber también de cuántos días dura la versión de prueba de Animate. Gracias de antemano Un saludo

Is it possible to have text in a dynamic textfield vertically centered? I wish to have the text vertically centered on a colored rectangle. Sometimes that text will have 1 line and sometimes 2. So I was wondering if there was a way to have that textfield vertically centered on that rectangle to no matter what that text will always be in the center of that shape?

I'm looking to create a relatively straightforward interactive map (at least I think it would be straightforward...?). My wife is doing a personal project where she collects and publishes the best recipes from around the world; she's hoping to add an interactive map to her blog, where followers and clients can click on a particular country and open up a popup that showcases info, pictures and recipes from that country.I've got literally decades of experience with After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator, but I've never even installed Adobe Animate. Creating the artwork will be a cinch, but I have absolutely no idea where to even begin with Animate... Has anyone run across any beginner-level tutorials that might help me get started on this? Or just have any advice for someone starting out?

  Woah! I just watched a video reviews about Animate and <superfluous link removed - kglad>

I'm realitivly new to Animate so I'm just trying to test this and I can't seem to get it to work. I've followed all of the articles I could find about adding an embed code from a Vimeo video and nothing is happening. I've set this up as a 300x250 HTML canvas, grabbed the embed code from a video on our vimeo page, add it to component parameters, try to preview it and nothing is there. Tried publishing the project and nothing is there as well.  Any suggestions? I feel like this is super basic but for some reason I can't get it to work. 

Hi, Belated happy new year to everybody,I am starting out on Animate and have been following an instruction video off Y tube, i have a PNG file that i am attemping to colur in using the fluid brush, however when i use the brush it draws the line using the left click of my mouse when i release the mouse button the line i have drawn disappears. If i draw a line off the side of the PNG picture the line stays there and i can see it. Sorry to ask such a basic queston. If anybody could answer that please would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark

Hi I used Flash many years ago and I've just created a small animated interface in HTML5 Canvas using Adobe Animate. My skills are basic but I've made the animation using simple commands. The animation zooms in to hotspots when clicked and shows a small amount of text with a 'read more' button. When that button is clicked I'd like to use this modal system:https://joaopereirawd.github.io/animatedModal.js/I have it working separatedly. It uses 'href' in anchor links with javascript to launch the modals. I'm hoping there's an easy way to launch these from the animation.Any help much appreciated.TIA,Chris

I'm relatively new to Animate but I've been using Adobe products for 25+ years and I've done numerous simple animated gifs before. I've created an (approx) 45 second animation which tests fine as an SWF file but when I try to publish as mp4 gets stuck/does not finish export/render. I've googled to no avail. Not sure if it's my export settings or ?????? HELP!

Hi.I'm making an animated app on Animate CC (Canvas) that should work both on the web (HTML5) and on mobile devices.A part of this app contains a scroll bar - which is a simple button that when dragged sideways it makes the movie clip that contains it show a different frame.I made a code that seems to work fine. The only problem is that when I test it (It opens on Chrome and then I choose "Inspect" and I toggle the device toolbar to simulate a mobile device) the button is not dragged. other "press" buttons work fine with touch - just the drag.I know about the need for "preventDefault" but every code I've seen in forums and tried doesn't work.Here is the script on the first frame of the movie clip containing the scrollbar:this.gotoAndStop(0);this.pbar.gotoAndStop(0);var drlFrames = this.totalFrames;var canvasWidth = stage.canvas.width;var btnMin = canvasWidth / 720 * 40;var btnMax = canvasWidth / 720 * 680;this.pbar_btn.x = 40;var sliderX = btnMin;this.addEventListener("tick", resize.bi
