Animate

In the game i am making,  Animate/As3/Swf enemies can get hit often, making the hurt animation replay or gotoAndStop at the specific hurt animation type and gotoAndPlay to a random frame between 1-5. The randomization is needed so when a clump of enemies get hit, they don't look the same each time. This however cause tremendous lag and looking it in Scout, the culprit is the gotoAndStop/gotoAndPlay/nextFrame etc. I even removed the random parts and it is still laggy, dropping to 12 fps each time a clump of 10-20 enemies start hurting. Any recommendations? thanks!

Hi all, I am trying convert an Edge Animate project to Animate CC where single images are loaded into a series of empty movie clips using a frame actions and a xml file. These movie clips are all prepositioned in a single movie clip that has an initiating action to load all the images before playing the timeline and fading up all the images in turn.I have solved the loading of the images once I have the 'imageid' (MC instance) and 'small_url'. However, I cannot seem to get the data from the XML file into the relevant variables.the xml is structured like this:<images> <imagedata ID = "image1_1"> <imageid>image1_1</imageid> <small_url>images/small/HF0307_008.jpg</small_url> </imagedata> <imagedata ID = "image1_2"> <imageid>image1_2</imageid> <small_url>images/small/HF0001_187.jpg</small_url> </imagedata> <imagedata ID = "image1_3"> <imageid>image1_3</imageid> &lt

Is there any way to change which version of animate is installed? The current release is unusable for me due to an apparently unsolvable issue with the pen tool which I had no issue with in previous versions; how do I go back?

Hi - Im trying to create a drag and drop game to share for training purposes with co-workers. I have a stage base and coded the symbols to drag and drop, but I am struggling with the format : what is the right way to go to create something that is "shareable" and doesnt lose its interactivity? If I convert to .exe, the tests I ve sent out wont open if the person doesnt have adobe Air, I cant embed in an email, Im stuck and lost! Have watched and read countless tutorials and forums, cant seem to find an answer anywhere! Help!

Can I disable some of the layers while I am exporting the whole animation with out deleting the layer?

I am new to adobe animate (and animating in general) and I am tryong to animate a drawing of a family jumping in a lake. The girl in the back animated perfectly but the other two people wont work. I composed the model of the swimmer from several [arts (i.e legs, head, torso, etc.) and merged it into one symbol. Then i go into the symbol and split it into individual layers so that I can animate each body part seperately while they are jumping. I do this just using classic tween. This worked for the first swimmer, but the other two won't work. The body parts slowly float to a different position, then teleport to their final destination at the final keyframe. I checked to make sure the registration point hasn't changed, and it hasnt. I don't undertand why this works on one swimmer but not the others.Anyone have any ideas?(for clarification the girl in the attached video is working as intended, and the boy is not)

I really need to work with AS2...

Hello! I created a character on animate using the brush tool..and colored it with brush as well, if that makes any difference. However, whenever I try to use the bone tool on it, at first it would say "shape is too complex" so i converted it into a movie clip.After doing so, another problem came up but I do not know the reason for it, whenever i try and use the bone tool on the shape, it makes this stop sign without giving me any kind of explanation. Please help! Thank you

I'm on a Surface and dealing with a debilitating bug wherein my strokes jump upwards upon pressing down and remain offset for the duration of the stroke.Figure A: I press down where the cursor is, the stroke jumps upwards as I draw a circle offset miles beneath.This happens exclusively with Animate and does not effect the shape tools; the pencil, brush, etc. are utterly ineffective. I have never had this issue in prior versions with this very same pen and tablet.Addendum: There is a post with a similar issue which was solved with updating Animate and calibrating the stylus. Animate is up to date and calibration did not seem to help.

Everytime I am trying to export a 1280x720 render size video that uses alpha channels and ignores the stage in adobe animate, the video always turns out as a 720x480 res when encoded in the media encoder.Maybe it is because I am using an AVI format so 720x480 is the max res. If this is so, is there an alternate to be able to export the video with transparency with another format to then be used in adobe premiere pro? Thanks.

Whenever I use Animate, the stage is centered in the upper part of the white, while it should be in the center of the white. I can't use it at a zoom, like I usually do for detailed drawings, and I don't know how to fix this. I am unsure how it happened and updating it to the newer version of Animate didn't fix it. How do I make the stage be centered again?

Hello,This is an issue I have researched here on the forums and the only other relevant thread I found was created back in Feb. 2010 and it is still labelled as "unsolved".. Here is a link to that if anyone needs the proof: Re: Eraser tool erase stuff on all layers....  To start, I am using Adobe Animate CC and my issue is with the eraser tool. I am working on 5 different, overlapping layers for a character that I am drawing out. While working on one of the layers, I decide to use the eraser tool to erase part of a mistake I made. However, upon attempting to erase just the elements on that specific layer (which is also the only one I have selected, the eraser tool ends up erasing everything from all other layers in addition to the one I have selected.This forces me to have to lock all other layers before erasing the target layer and then unlocking those layers again afterwards to then be able to work on them again. In the long run, this will suck up a lot of my time (locking and u

Hello, I consider switching from Toonboom to Animate, since Animate has lots of nice new features. However when I draw really fast it starts skipping strokes. (not the speed of  how fast I move stylus, but having very little time between strokes) It happens with Fluid brush and Classic brush. Is there a way to fix this? Drawing slower isn't option - that's my way of working - when I start to think about how fast I draw my quality suffers.Animate 20.0.3Mac OS 10.15.4Wacom drivers 6.3.39-1Intuos Pro (2015 model)
