Animate

Hi. I'm making html5 banners in Animate.To make a clickTag I usually embed a code in the html-file.Is there a way to make a clicktag like back in the Flash-days with a invisble button and ActionScript?So I don't have to write any html-code but can keep everything in Animate.

Hello, when I try and use the eye dropper on a color, and it auto swaps to the paint bucket it makes it completely transparent, and it doest the same thing with the brush, and when I turn the transparency back up the color is black and not the color i am trying to get. How do I either fix this or reset the eyedropper tool so it stops?

My first question is, is there any way to move multiple keyframes at once? Like I have each of the frames of my animation set as separate keyframes but they're in the wrong position on my screen, how can I select all those frames and move them together?My second question is, how do I add things to the beginning of my animation without messing up all the timing? I haven't added the intro to my animation yet and have realised that when I try to move my animation along the timeline everything gets out of sync and it's just really tedious and annoying.My final question is, is there any way to import a video with a transparent background without having to convert it to a gif? Because when you import a gif it imports the individual frames and then we have the same problem as the first question.

Hi. I'm very new to Adobe Animate. I try to use the pencil tool but it's not in my tool bar.I noticed that by pressing three dots in the tool bar it opens a selection of tools I can drag and drop to my tool bar. There's the pencil tool there but no matter what I do I can't drag and drop it or any other tools to my tool bar. This is very annoying. What should I do? 

Right now, this is what the program animation of a flag waving in the wind looks like. But it works in this example for the entire Canvas.////////////////////////////////////////this.stop();var r = this;const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');var simplex = new SimplexNoise();var time = 0;var img = new lib.flag();r.body.addChild(img);console.log(img);// Function for applying wave distortionfunction applyWaveDistortion() {// Getting the image dataconst imageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);const data = imageData.data;// Creating a temporary array to store the changed pixelsconst newData = new Uint8ClampedArray(data);// Applying a distortion along the Y axisfor (let y = 0; y < canvas.height; y++) {for (let x = 0; x < canvas.width; x++) {// We get the noise value for the current positionvar noiseValue = simplex.noise2D(x / 100, time / 100);// Convert the noise value to a Y offsetvar newY = Math.floor(y + noiseValu

HelloI'm looking for a way to display a semi-transparent animated symbol (picture1) without seeing the different overlapped layers contained in this animated symbol (picture 2). Kind of "ghost effect" on the whole symbol.Properties of the occurence of the symbol are "Alpha 50%", and its layer is on Multiply.Any solution?Thanks

Hey guys!  O.k., here's the scoop...I'm using Animate more as an illustration tool (prefer the workflow to Illustrator) for creating game assets.  I've got named movieclips/graphics on stage.  I need a way to export each as a png or the whole scene frame or a movieclip as a PSD WITH the names attached, not just a generic 'export_xxxx.png'.  I've got 35 layers here that need to be imported into PSD then exported again for use in Spine.  If I have to rename the layers every time I export it's gonna be a MAJOR time suck.  Any ideas?  Anyone know of a command/script to do this?  Thanks! 

I'm just getting started with Adobe Animate, and I'm really loving it so far! But I’m noticing that as my projects get more complex, they sometimes start to lag or feel a bit heavy. &#x1f605What are some tried-and-true tips or tricks you all use to keep your animations running smoothly, especially for web use? I’m looking to optimize things like file size, performance, and frame rate without sacrificing quality. Would love to hear any advice, best practices, or even mistakes to avoid! Thanks in advance for your help

Recently, out of nowhere the program has been giving me this message...When I save as another name it corrups the file.I've re-installed the program multiple times. It's completely debilitating and I've had to ask for extra time from a client!I have no idea why Adobe don't offer live support for Animate. It's very irritating!I hope you can help soon!I'd appreciate it.Thanks,Adam.

When I press file > export > export as video/media, the videos that are created are sort of desaturated? The image is an example. The top-right corner is the mp4, the top-left corner is the mov, and the part at the bottom is adobe animate. I used H.264 with a preset of High Quality 1080p HD for my mp4 and Quicktime with a preset of Apple ProRes 422 HQ for my mov. Is it a problem with the presets, and is there a way to fix this? I'm on a Mac, and I hope that isn't why it's breaking. 

I rendered a .fla into a video via Encoder then imported it into Power Point...the video works fine, but it loops perpetually....how do I get it to stop after one play? I can find no setting anywhere....the Publish Settings facility has a checkbox for looping, but that isn't relevant to exporting video/media in Animate 2022Thanks in advance...Joe

I am new to Animate (2024) scripting, but have created CEP Panels/extendscript for AE and PPro. This forum has been very useful (especially  @JoãoCésar17023019 )  as there is a lot of outdated documentation that can be confusing. Basically, I just want a UI for our pipeline. First part is reading a folder on our server and populating a dropdown with the names of all the job folders.  I can read the job names (folder names) into an array and then use a loop to create the xml with all the menulist menuitems. I will have other dropdowns that need to be populated based on other dropdowns.How would I update a dropdown with new items? Do I somehow close the dialog, create a new xml and open it again? I was looking at https://github.com/AdobeDocs/developers-animatesdk-docs/blob/master/XMLUI_object/xmlui8.mdfl.xmlui.setControlItemElements("myControlID", arrayOfElementObjects);This is exactly what I need. I create the arrayOfElementObjects and add id

Hey everyone, New to Animate and new to React and stuck on this problem. I've asked my TAs in class and scoured the internet for a solution and can't find it. I have an animation from Animate that works in a page that is Bootstrap and vanilla JS. I've not migrated the entire page over the React with Bootstrap and I can not get the animation to work. I've played whack-a-mole on errors left and right and started over at least a dozen times, but in the end I keep getting stuck on this error... "cjs.MovieClip is not a constructor."I've got a local version of createjs linked in my index.html as has been suggested elsewhere but that doesn't help. I'm sure there's something simple I'm missing but I've exhausted everything else I know to try. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a better way to get animations from Animate working in React? (Here's the page with the working coffee cup animation at the top if that helps https://markgatx.github.io/Portfolio-v2/)

Hello everyone, I hope you are well.I'm trying to make a code read in a CSV document, properly filled in just one column.At first, the code is correctly reading the data, however, when checking the typed text and the data for comparison and approval, it reports as "not found".How it works is very simple, I type the text into an Input, and use a button to check. function processarCSV(dados:String):void { var linhas:Array = dados.split("\n"); // Divide o CSV em linhas var valorDigitado:String = insert_code.text; // Valor digitado pelo usuário var valorEncontrado:Boolean = false; // Variável para verificar se o valor foi encontrado for (var i:int = 0; i < linhas.length; i++) { var colunas:Array = linhas[i].split(","); // Divide cada linha em colunas trace("" + colunas[0]); // Verifica se o valor digitado pelo usuário está em alguma coluna for (var j:int = 0; j < colunas.length; j++) { if (colunas[j] == va

Hello, Animate Community! My students are working on an animation about climate change in the Arctic. There are many moving parts and we still have a lot to do. So, my ask is this: Does anyone have any rigs of appropriate arctic animals or completed rigged arctic animals, that they would be willing to share/donate?   This animation is part of the Polar STEAM Project, funded by the National Science Foundation. I will provide more information if you would like to know more. If you do have rigged assets youcan share, please let me know and I will send an upload link. Your work will also be credited in the animation. Thank you all for your time.Janice 

Hi!From my Animate Canvas file I am calling a game-scripts.js file with the following code: function iniciar(){ var pincel = new lib.pincel(); this.addChild(pincel); } When I publish my html file, the console gives me this error: Uncaught ReferenceError: lib is not definedat iniciar (script-juegos.js:3:15)at lib.princesa01.frame_0 (princesa01.js?1730987426814:3682:3)at d._runActionsRange (createjs.min.js:19:7215)at b._runActions (createjs.min.js:19:3229)at b._runActionsRange (createjs.min.js:19:10055)at b._runActions (createjs.min.js:19:3229)at b.setPosition (createjs.min.js:19:1519)at c._updateTimeline (createjs.min.js:14:29260)at c.advance (createjs.min.js:14:28504)at c._tick (createjs.min.js:14:28796) Apparently lib is not defined.

Hello, Everyone. I am asking this question on behalf of my 12-year-old son, who just started working with Adobe Animate. I know virtually NOTHING about Adobe applications, so please excuse my ignorance! To make a long story short, this is what's happening: when he erases something, it goes away while the mouse is clicked/dragged, but when you unclick the mouse, it comes right back.  His animation is one "merged layer." That may or may not be relevant. As I said, I don't know anything about these apps! Can anyone guess what the problem might be? If you need visuals see what is happening, I can post. Thank you in advance. 

I want to add sound to a 3-1/2 minute animation I have almost completed. I want to be able to project the animation (I don't know if that changes anything).2 questions:1)Is it best to add the sound in Animate? What I research seems to suggest that, but 6 years ago when I made an animation in Flash, I exported it before adding sound. Can't remember much about it. 2)My animation file has 33 folders, each with several layers. Is it best to make a separate folder for sound or add sound layers to each pertinent visual folder? I plan to add a lot of separate sound effects. I imagine organization would be easier if I add each sound layer to the pertinent folder.thank you

So I am doing an animation using Motion Tweens, as I want to create a Motion Preset to use on another movieclip symbol. Problem is my Motion Tween isn't working properly.  When I play my movieclip, it is only producing movement on the keyframes, but not moving at all within the frame span. How do I fix this please?

Dear Adobe Team and Fellow Animate Users,As a loyal Adobe Animate user, I’d like to share an idea that I believe would greatly enhance the software for animators and designers alike: introducing basic video editing capabilities within Adobe Animate.Currently, Animate is a powerful tool for creating animations and interactive content, but when it comes to handling video files, we face limitations that often force us to switch to other Adobe applications like After Effects or Premiere Pro. For many of us, this means performing even the simplest video edits—like trimming, cutting, or controlling playback on the timeline—in a separate, more complex software, which disrupts workflow and slows down productivity. This especially affects projects that don’t need advanced video manipulation but could benefit from streamlined, built-in video editing features.Imagine if Adobe Animate allowed us to:Trim and cut video clips directly within the timeline.Play and pause video clips within animated sce

Hi everyone,I've made a basic HTML5 canvas animation with sound.With the exception of iPhones, the exported files function properly in every other browser.The iPad and MacOS both function flawlessly.Also in createjs demos, the audio is broken.https://createjs.com/demos/soundjs/playonclick The console shows no errors.I would appreciate any assistance with this.
