Animate

Picture it: i draw a "messy box" with the line tool.  Four lines, overshot at the corners, like a Tic Tac Toe grid: (Why not just use the rectangle tool? Because i'm frequently tracing something in a photo to highlight it, and the shape is usually not uniform. And it might be an irregular polygon. But let's start simply.)i want to write a JSFL script that fills the middle: deletes the stroke:re-applies a "clean" stroke:  and deletes the interior fill:So essentially, it's a script that cleans up all the messy "tails" on the rough shape i draw: And yes, i do this very, very often, so it's really worth writing a script to do it for me!i know how to delete the stroke in step 2. i'm stuck at the part where i'm filling the empty shape in step 1.Just like addFilter(), JSFL doesn't really let you just conjure up a fill where there isn't already one. So i've been messing around with trying to select the bucket tool, setting a fill colour, finding the middle of the

Hi everyone! It's been a whilte since I made a game in Adobe (Flash sadface) now Animate. I could have sworn back in the day the code to create a variable was var varName = 1; Question 1) I want to have var equal to a number would that be correct? Question 2) If I had a button in a movieclip and I wanted that number to go up +1, would this be the code:exportRoot.varName ++;Question 3) If I wanted to do a if/then code if the variable got up to 3 or more.. would it be: if varName >= 3 { doSomething; } Question 4) Is there a list of Adobe Animate ActionScript codes for HTML5 canvas games somewhere that I can look at? Thanks ahead, Line 

COMPONENTS PARAMETER IN HTML5 (canvas)MP4 Video falls to start, although Auto Play is checked in the components parameters window, when testing the animation. Is it me, or is it the latest version of Animate?

Hello, I have been working in Google web designer to create ad campaigns, as a designer I would love to make the switch to adobe animate but am stuggling to find support material for creating a full campaign in animate. Most of the resources I have found are to build one off ads not a full set, can you direct me to any resources to help me move to animate. Below are some examples of the html5 ads we have created.  Example ads created in google web designer: 300x250300x600728x90 Thank you! 

Hi everyone,  When I try to use the HTML5 code snippets on a movieclip I get this: To add code for this object, please select an instance of the object in either the mainline or in a Movie Clip timeline. I do select an instance of the object...    

There is a Captivate project with Animate animations in it.  These animations play when the project is hosted on Internet Explorer but do not appear when the project is played in Chrome.  The developers wanted to delay the Captivate next button until the animation finished and added the following code to the project-  window.parent.parent.window.cpAPIInterface.pause();window.parent.parent.window.cpAPIInterface.play();Would appreciate any ideas on how to fix this.Thank you,Susan

Hi,I have been assigned an education project. It needs to do the following:1. Contain a multiple choice quiz which accumulates results depending on right/wrong answers 2 The user has to be able to navigate backwards/forwards and to different sections and categories of the project2. It needs also to display animated info graphics to convey necessary information in an engaging way3. The whole project needs to work on the web and on a stand alone touch screen (which may not be connected to the web).I have done some research and I am aware there are many great templates available in After Effects and Premier Pro for info graphics but I can't build interactivity in to that . . . can I?So my question is this:What work flow any of you who have experience of this kind of thing recommend please?I'm thinking that probably I would use Animate as the framework and import elements from Premier and AfterEffects.Or have I got this all wrong? Is there a better application for this sort of project

I was making a small animation on Animate and whenever I add new objects to the stage, it makes a copy of the main layer. Thing is, it cannot be interacted with, if I move the item that I can touch, the other will move with it, then center. I made a copy of the item I added to the stage, the problem went away. But as I edited it, it was disappearing into the project. And the frames before that were effected as if I somehow took an eraser to all of them. Then I try to replicate those frames, and then the image comes back again.

i'm trying to apply a filter to a layer using JSFL, but i only understand how to derive an existing filter from somewhere else. i don't quite know how to initialize/instantiate a filter out of thin air.  Is it possible? Right now, i'm manually applying a filter to the bottommost layer, and then my JSFL script uses getFiltersAtFrame/setFiltersAtFrame to apply that filter to other layers. i'd love to be able to skip that first manual step, though. All of the examples i see in the documentation begin with some form of "getFilters" before using some form of "setFilters." But i don't see any sort of "whatever = new Filter()" intialization, or any way to work with a filter that doesn't preexist. - Ryan

Hi,I am trying to make a animation where the user can draw or fill a form, and this way trigger a new animation. The filling of the form must be in a certain direction. I don´t know if this even is possible in Aninmate 😉 Anyone know if this is possible? And if so, could you put me on track on some way?

Hi everyone, When I try to upload my HTML5 video banner into the Validator I get a flie_type_invalid both for .mp4 and for .webm. Are there any video formats allowed? Or a workaround for this issue?Thanks in advance!Cristina The creative contains a file type that isn’t supported by DCM. Supported file types are HTML, HTM, JS, CSS, JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, JSON, XML, and SVG. To resolve this issue, contact the creative developer and request that any other file types are removed or replaced.More details:Source: FILE_TYPE_INVALID found in Output/video_16-9_min12.webm

I'm unable to publish my html5 canvas when I put the standard video component on the timeline.  I just get "A Javascript error occurred"  it won't kills the publishing process?  Ideas? If I remove the component it publishes just fine.

Why isn't there any motion capture in Animate?  Or Character Animator?  The iPhone already has a feature that can turn full-body movements into rigging so we can capture walking, dancing, sports actions, animals, etc.  Yet Adobe puppet apps focus entirely on faces, and maybe a little bit on hands, but everything below the waist is ignored much the same way they neglect sound in web and app design. So, why is there no full-body motion capture in Animate or Character Animator?

https://twitter.com/mknol/status/1276466174306459648The adobe care team on twitter asked me to report my issues with Adobe Animate in the forum, they promised that doing this would make a difference. I made pretty clear gifs to demonstrate several issues. These exist in many versions of Adobe Animate and also even in the current (version 21).I hope this can get solved soon. 

I am trying to export an animation to SWF but it has several problems in the exported file that are NOT present in the original FLA document. These are:- When I turn camera on, some layers will randomly not be attached, even though in the file, they are.- A layer keeps showing up in front of another one when in the file, it's below that layer.- Transparent layers are not transparent when converted. I really want to know how I can fix this. I have tried a lot of things and still, the SWF file has countless flaws that it is not supposed to have.
