Animate

I want to merge masked layers, (like the mask and the layer under it thats also like masking)Any way to do it?

I am brand new to Animate.  When I duplicate a shape and move it onto another area of the previous shape the stroke does not show up and my original shape loses color.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi, We've developed a couple of interactive process maps using Adobe Animate - now the overlords want to be able to track the clicks within the maps using Adobe Launch and Analytics. We were thinking this could be done using something similar to a click-tag, but these maps have 20+ different clicks they want to track individually. Here are the map url's if it helps - Poultry Processing - Hospital Map (this is imbedded about 1/2 way down the page)  Considering its one adobe product working with another it "should" be easy, but it is Adobe. Any help is greatly appreciated.-Dan

Hi, I'm following a basic tutorial on YouTube how to create a button and adding a link to it. I'm new to Animate and the tutorial seems like a piece of cake, but I keep getting the 1120 error when I try to publish it. A couple of things: - Yes 'Advanced Layers' is disabled- Yes both my button name and instance are the same- I have only used the ClickToGoToWebPage snippet I sincerely hope there is someone to help me.

Hello,I would like to use the buttonMode function on a movie clip.In actionScript it works fine, but in javaSript (HTML5) it does not.How to change the shape of the cursor when hovering over a movieclip?Thank you

Hey! I'm trying to find a way how to draw on top of Symbol, group or graphic. Unfortunately the paint strokes always appear below them.One solution is to switch Brush to Object drawing mode, however I'd love to keep it in normal mode. I'm asking this because I use a specific workflow for cleaning up parts of drawings in a following way.When I sketch something more complex it gets messy. I select that messy part, turn into light Grey. Hit CMD+G - so it becomes group. Draw on top of the group a clean drawing. Select that messy sketch group and delete. I have a clean drawing now!  The problem is - I have to switch to object drawing mode whenever I use this trick. So I wonder if I'm missing something and maybe drawing with a regular brush on top of symbols is possible in some way. Thanks,Agris

hey so i'm trying to finish up a video i've been working on for over a year. I'm almost done, but 9 minutes in the audio starts lagging behind the mouth's movement for the characters for about 20 seconds, then it goes back to normal. I've tried going back and lining up the sound layer exactly with the mouths, but ever single freakin' time i export and convert it to an MOV it starts lagging at the exact same point no matter what I do. Can someone please help me? I'm starting to pull my hair out.

Would like to know how to reproduce a selected path into a swf extension tool. Or - how to take a curved path in a flash document using JSFL and reproduce it using ActionScript (into a swf extension). Effectively, is there a way to store the details of a path or an element into a table to be able to reproduce this path in Action Script (or even JSFL for that matter)? I've read you can get shape.getCubicSegmentPoints(cubicSegmentIndex) so perhaps this is a good place to start?Any tips, gotchas or links most appreciated.  

Hello,In Animate HTML5 canvas, I draw a graphic with the mouse (var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d") ;...) and I wish that the drawing can not be done outside a frame whose dimensions and coordinates are defined. Is it possible to specify the coordinates and size of this frame? I can't find an answer.Thank you for any help.

Hi, as doomsday for Flash is coming at the end of 2020, I have been expecting Adobe to provide something of use to its longtime users that will allow some sort of export of AS3 projects to JavaScript/HTML5 Canvas, because otherwise Adobe is hanging its user base out to dry. With just a few months left now with no word, I'm speaking up to ask.  I have a number of interactive educational animations in Flash, almost all done purely via AS3, that I need to get converted into some format that will run in 2021.  The AS3 code base for one of these is over 25,000 lines, so asking that I go in and recode this all by hand just doesn't seem reasonable.  They are educational apps, not for profit, so paying some firm to do the work doesn't make sense, either. Am I supposed to let all of this just blow away like dust in the wind?  If so, Adobe has done a serious disservice to its user base and, in turn, the users of the materials produced by them.  If not, I'd very

Greetings,I just recently discovered Adobe Animate, and quite excited to know that I can use Actionscript to develop apps. I want to make a billing app for my website (lescbill.pk) which will communicate with php scripts, and I also want to monetize my app using google admob. So before I start, I just want to confirm this is good platform and there won't be any hassle? Thanks.

Hi. So i'm very new to Sprite Animation, and i found a very good tutorial online on how to import sprites and make the characters do their actions. The problem is that he stopped making the tutorials. So, the thing i need help with making Mecha Sonic here move from one side to say, the middle of the screen. I've tried making a motion tween after selecting all the frames, but that doesn't work. (look at attached video as example)  If you wanna know how I imported the sprites, here is the link :https://youtu.be/Y0BPC9YXlkAMaybe my method had something to do with it?(Start at 1:30)

BonjourJe cherche une astuce pour lisser les mouvements de caméra au rendu, et éviter l'effet strobe.Merci YB

I'm not understanding how to correct this error in Animate? Your HTML5 ad is trying to reference an asset that is external to your .ZIP file: https://code.createjs.com/1.0.0/createjs.min.js. Only internal file references are allowed (for example, "path/to/asset/in-zip.png"). Make sure you have included all of your assets in the .ZIP file and that all file references are internal. Once you have made the changes, try again. Learn more

No matter what project i try to open with animate i always get a white blank canvas.Any clue? I am stuck!! 😞 

When I edit a symbol "in place" the background scene the symbol is nested in turns white but it does not advance frames as I add frames to the symbol. Is there any way to make the background scene update along with the symbol's frames as I am editing it?Thanks so much! 

Hi! I am working on an Animate File for a website I would like to make. I have made it so that moving your mouse over the stage area twiddles some knobs, but I would like to add a Radio Tuning SFX to really sell the effect.How can I make it so that when your mouse moves over the stage area, an SFX plays, but stops when the mouse stops?

I recently was working on my animation and forgot ot lock the charcter layers when I was working on the background. I converted different shapes within the background into a single object, without realizing the character was included. I had been saving throughout the process. How can I restore previous saved versions so I don't have to start from scratch?

Hello,I have the following code to draw a line from a drawn clip called my_circle. I would like the line to be drawn in a window of fixed size (L = 500, H = 250) and that the content of this window moves to the left in order to make a sinusoid-shaped line appear, like a heart rate recording would. I managed to do this in AS2 with a mask and a "createEmptyMovieClip". I've been looking for many hours and I can't find it. Would you please have a solution in HTML5? this.my_circle.x = 800;this.my_circle.y = 100;createjs.Tween.get(this.my_circle, {loop: -1}).to({x:800, y: 200}, 2000).wait(200).to({x:800, y: 100}, 2000)var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");ctx.beginPath();ctx.strokeStyle = '#ff0000';ctx.lineWidth = 2;createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", tick1.bind(this));function tick1(){var pmj = this.globalToLocal(this.my_circle.x,this.my_circle.y);posXu = pmj.x;posYu = pmj.y;ctx.lineTo(posXu,posYu);ctx.stroke();};tick1();ctx.moveTo(posXu,posYu );Thank you for any answer.Translated wit
