XML Http Request issue

Hi all,first time here. I am building a web page that connects to Vmix live video streaming software through IP and port on local network, once connected buttons on web page can trigger functions inside Vmix. The issue i'm having is I cannot get the button to work properly from Animate CC Canvas as it triggers the function upon loading in browser and button does nothing.It works as it should from basic .HTML with some javascript (code below) that I made in a text editor. I am wondering what am I doing wrong inside animate? (please bear with me as I am a beginner and only know basic javascript) WORKING .html CODE:<html><body><button onclick="httpGet('http://192.168.x.xxx:8088/api/?Function=OverlayInput2&Input=5')">Overlay 2</button><p id="demo"></p><script>function httpGet(theUrl){var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();xmlHttp.open("GET", theUrl, false); // false for synchronous requestxmlHttp.send(null);return xmlHttp.r

CreateEmptyMovieClip HTML5

Hello,Is there a handy HTML5 equivalent of "createEmptyMovieClip" in ActionScript 2? This would allow you to draw with MoveTo and lineTo and make the drawing move.Thank you for your answer.

How to convert from action script 3 to html5 with jsfl

Hello, I'm curious about how to use JSFL in Animate.I want to convert Action Script 3 to HTML5, but if I do Convert, the code used in Action Script 3 will be annotated and the effect will disappear. I want the effect shown in Action Script 3 to be the same in HTML5. Is there any way? I heard that you can use the JSFL script to convert, how can I use it? I've searched it on Adobe and read it, but I'm not sure.Please save the annotated code from HTML5!!!

Questions

What tools and software should I use to create this animation.

Sure I understand, it's a vague title. I'm mainly a video editor and graphic designer. So to venture into 3D and animation is new ground, Adobe has me covered suite wise. Though I'm confused, of where to focus and produce the content. My current project, will have me create a 3D terrain map of a local area. Then to insert objects such as an aircraft, have them follow a particular path.Intention, where I could animate a moving camera, in the 3d space. To demonstrate different perspective and event scenarios as short clips of where said aircraft could have gone direction wise for a documentary I'm working on. What tools would be best to develop this on?

Brush tool is not smooth and seems very choppy/snappy?

 In the video that I posted, when drawing with the brush tool, you can see that the lines and images drawn kind of "jumps" or "snaps" afterwards and is not accurate as to where I am actually drawing it. Has anyone else experienced this? I do not have this when drawing in Photoshop or Illustrator. Thank you!

CTRL+Click selection

Hi. So I'm a new Adobe user. I've made art on a software called FireAlpaca for 2-3 years. I'm now on Adobe Animate, because I'm really interested in making 2d animations. Anyway, when I'm doing lineart, I often draw one line 3-4 times, sometimes even more, until it's perfect for me. I draw one line, CTRL+Z if I'm not happy about it, and try again one more time. It's a fast process and my finger stays on CTRL while i'm trying multiple takes of that line. (So while already pushing CTRL, I press also Z to undo, and try again after.)But here's the problem, because my finger stays on the CTRL key and I'm pushing it, here on Adobe Animate it does that rectangle selection thing instead of a line stroke. It's really frustrating because that's just how I'm used to doing linearts, I can't just go slower and be careful to not keep my finger there. (it has become a muscle memory? idk how to describe it.) I've tried to change that selection-tool keyboard shortcut to something else. But I can't find

Art Brush tool

Hello, and thank you in advance - I could really use some help, please.  Working in latest version of Animate and trying to use the Art Brush tool with Cintiq 2200.   It was working fine for a few minutes yesterday - nice tapered strokes (my first time using it), and then....it was gone, the problem persisting with both mouse and tablet pen.   At the same time,  I the stroke changed to this hollow look, which seems connected...    I am trying to regain the tapered line with ink art brush.  When I draw, I get a flat wimpy line -- the same line regardless of point size.  100 points, or one, it looks the same.   I did a bug fix ("repair") in Creative Cloud (wouldn't let me uninstall it), I uninstalled and reinstalled Animate.  Restarted several times.  Granted, I am just learning, but I have done my due dilegence and cannot figure out what I have done to this file to make it misbehave so badly!  Thank you

Questions

Drawing in Adobe Animate CC not smooth and inaccurate?

I am new to drawing in Adobe Animate CC and when trying to draw with the classic brush, whether it be with a drawing tablet (Wacom Intuos Small) or even with my mouse, the lines seem very jumpy upon lifting my pen or cursor. When trying to sketch for example, the lines are not accurate as to where I am drawing and it kind of "snaps" around and not a smooth drawing experience. I tried turning smoothing to 0 but this does not help. I do not have this issue when drawing in Photoshop or Illustrator, as when drawing in those I do not get that "snapping" into place and it's very smooth. Is there a setting somewhere in Animate CC that allows for a smoother drawing experience? I see videos of others able to draw and sketch very accurately and smoothly so I am not sure why mine is like this. Thanks

Black screen of death

Big file (55MB) suddenly everything goes black like this. I can minimize the window and bring it back up, so its not a typical crash? Could happen a minute into working or 2 hours. It's happened at least a dozen times to me last week while working in files over 16MB. My computer is brand new and I had this same problem on my old machine with a different graphics driver. I've seen this question pop up a lot without any effective answers, so here's my 2 cents: the only fix I've found is to break up the file into smaller files and keep it under 10MB. There is no way to recover and once it goes black, ctrl alt del is the only way out.

Button jumps to the wrong frames

Hello there! I have to ask if someone can help me with a problem. Im trying to create an interactive slide with animations. I've used HTML5 code and coded the buttons to skip to specific frame and play from this frame and stop at that frame. The problem is that when I try it out, the animations has to play to the end until I skip to the next step. If I press the "Next"-button before the animation has played, it just repeats from the beginning. What can I do to remedy this issue?

animate 2020-animation problem with the "bones" tool

Hello,I animated 2 characters (in vector) that I bought in an image bank and that I reworked a little (simplified) with AI and I animate a walking session from left to right with the tool "bones". These characters were imported in pieces (head, body, arms, etc.) via copy / paste from AI to ANIMATE. When I view the walking animations internally in the scenario, everything works fine but when I view them in the browser (Chrome), the left (rear) leg of my 2 characters does not move and I notice that it is the same problem for both.Some post-post error messages include "Changing the transformation point in an interpolation may produce unexpected results. (22)".Can you help me ?

Problems with drawing with a tablet in Adobe Animate

I just purchased a Wacom Cintiq 16 tablet for drawing in Adobe Animate. It works great in Adobe photoshop but it doesn't work so well in Adobe Animate.When I want to draw a small dot, for instance the pupil of an eye, a small circle appears on the screen. Within this circle the pen doesn't do anything at all.When I lift the pen a menu appears, like having clicked on the rightmouse button. What could be the cause of this problem?

360 VR preview not updating properly

Hi, college student here. Working on a 360 vr video for school, and it's my first time delving into this territory. When working with a VR 360 file, the option to preview a still of your animation is available to you. Unfortunately, when I make changes to my timeline, these changes are not always reflected when I update my VR preview. This makes it so I can't make sure my corrections so that stitching is not apparent are working.Here is an example of this; my canvas is to the left, VR preview to the right. I have clicked "refresh". Notice that the ball is far away from the edge of the canvas where the stitch will be (there is another ball on the far right of the canvas in order to create a loop around the scene)Sometimes, the lineart and the ball completely disappear when I try to update the preview as well, but I'm less concerned about that. I just need the preview to update when i change the position of this ball so I can make sure that it moves smoothly across the screen. Thank you

Animate (Canvas HTML5) Bring Movieclip to front by clicking on a Button

Hello all, I am fairly new to Animate 2020 and have a little project in HTML5/Canvas with a few buttons on a stage. It's like a computer desktop with some icons to click on. Each button displays a movieclip (the "windows" on the desktop) when it's clicked. Like with a real computer desktop, the window which is opening when the button is clicked should be in the very front.I found this Javascript which worked quite nicely, but only brings then button itself (instance name is "myButton") to the front:    this.bringToFront = function(e){          e.currentTarget.parent.addChild(e.currentTarget);   };   this.myButton.on("mousedown", this.bringToFront); I tried this, with "myMC" being the Movieclip which I actually want to bring to the front, but that didn't work:this.myButton.on("mousedown", this.myMC.bringToFront); Can anyone help? Thanks a lot!!!
