Animate

Hi there, we have an issue in which content is shared in a dropbox folder between multiple users. However, due to the fact that Animate seems to use absolute paths, when UserA tries to open a file created by UserB, it's trying to open images linked to UserA dropbox account - rather than use relative paths and find it on their own dropbox folder. I don't believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) you can change Animate to use relative paths, so one solution was to use the library.updateItem() function (eqivalent to properties/update on a file)  to repath the images, but this doesn't seem to be available via JSFL (it says 'updateItem is not a function'). So is there any way to resolve this?Thanks for any help

I have been developing online learning tools with Adobe Animate, but have received feedback from colleagues needing accessibility that their screen readers pick up nothing at all where the HTML5 canvas is embedded in my website. I know that earlier versions of Adobe Animate had limited (although problematic) accessibility options, but all of the resources from StackExchange about adding ARIA-labels to Adobe Animate appear to lead to non-existant pages on the Adobe website (I asusme the information is obsolete, so Adobe took it down). Is there a way that I can add ARIA-labels to the Javascript file after exporting my Animate Project so that the screen reader can at least read a description of what the text/buttons on a patircular frame are? I am not looking to have something that you can tab through as this is a whole nother level of accessibility that I doubt I can program.

everytime i go to draw on adobe aniamte a random black line just appears at the bottom of the screen i cant seem to find the reason for it either, for some odd reason this only happens on the drawing tablet and second monitor but doesnt happen on the main monitor

I have brought an animated GIF into Animate, I want to make this GIF move accross the screen.

The new Auto Lip sync seems a nice feature to have.I have seen several tutorials on this and all work fine except when the moth is moving around together with the mouth.The symbol of the mouth stops moving when using Auto Lip Sync. Is there a workaround for this?All the tutorials I have seen ara all with heads that don't move.So my Mouth symbol (in a seperate layer) moves together with my head, but after using auto lip sync, the mouth symbol doesn't move anymore

When I execute the command "File - Export - Export Movie", after choosing to save it in PNG format, a dialog box pops up with a "Smooth" option, but no matter whether I select it or not, the exported image is smooth! This option does not play any role.My Animate version is 2024.  

Hi all,  I am new wit animate and I looked all over the net i can't find the answer.  I tried to connect my child layers to my parent layers, but for some reason some layers disappear when i link them. The timeline of the layers became grey. In the example below all the grey layers are hidden. If somone as a solution please let me know.  Thank you in advance 

Don't get me wrong, the software is pretty good compared to others. It's smooth, has good interface, and can make art look real good. While there are a few issues in that department Adobe Animate does a pretty good job with that kind of stuff. But why do I still think the software's bad? It's the crashes and the errors that spoil the app. While everything about Animate sounds good so far, the one issue, the one very big issue I have with it is the whole exporting issue. It's at the most random time Animate decides to corrupt your flash file. In the past 2 months I've lost 3 animations that took forever to finish. And not to mention that stupid message that pops up: "An error oppening file:" As if it expects me to move on so easily. And then there's auto-recovery, P.S: It's not useful. The problem is, it only saves in the same folder as your project and deletes itself once you finally save and close Adobe Animate. They should really look into following the exporting features of a softwa

How to add frames to symbols? I genuinely can't understand how to do it.

I recently created an animation where I used the pin tool to put a bone-type rig on a bunch of leaves, and then warped them to shape frame by frame. I reopenned it the next day to find some of the assets had turned into black boxes. Each one has its own later, maybe 15 layers in total and 7 of them are black boxes in every key frame. The boxes still warp the same way the leaves did, but the leaves themselves won't load. I have 3 different save files and one recovery, I cant open the saved files at all, and this problem is with the recovery file. The animation itself is only 2s long at 15fps, and when open, only takes up 25-30% of my cpu. I'm not sure if any of that info is helpful, but idk how tostart fixing this. 

Hello i have a problem with all of my actionscript files they all say they need to subclass flash.display.MovieClip but they already do subclass it. P.S This file has rights to it please do not use it for your self. Only the mods at adobe are allowed to view it.

Running Flash CS3, I've reviewed the lynda.com tutorial on building particle systems in ActionScript 3.0 to try and build some shooting sparks in an animation.  I'm getting stuck at what I think is a really elementary point, but I can't seem to get past it.  Basically, all I'm trying to do at this point is create a class called Particle (which I will teach to do things that particles do a little later) link it to a MovieClip on the stage in my .fla file and use the particle's update function to move it across the stage in a manner defined in the instance (so I can later give different movement properties to each AS generated instance of the MC).  I know there are easier ways to accomplish my base task without loading an external package, but this seems so strightforward that I must be doing something very simple wrong I just can't see so I thought I'd post the code here and see what I'm missing.I start with a file called Particle.as in the same folder as my Spark Test.fl

How can i bring back my unsaved progress on Flash/Animate?

Is it possible to do something like this?

Hi everyone, I've always imported SWF files from other programs like Swift Max, and it always worked in Animate. This week, I was about to start a new project, and when I imported the SWF, what you see in the first image happened. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this?

Greetings and Happy Holidays! I'm trying to animate a symbol while it is moving in fixed position with a vertically scrolling background.  Can I nest a tween within a tween?  Been searching the tutorials but can't find anything that covers the animation and the tracking simultaneously.  I'd appreciate some ideas.   Thanks so much!

If I draw a curve with pen, and then draw another curve over it, it adds point at intersection. How can I disable this?P.S. Sorry for my English

Hi! I'm quite new to Animate and I'm making an interactive animated website here. For the past week the test movie has been working well until today. I can edit just fine in the app but can't seem to test it out to see the animations and check each button. I'm already using the 2024 version, and there seems to be no explanation or pop-up box as to why this is happening. It stops until 30% before not responding again. Thanks for the help!
