Animate

Hello. Some background info first. I have a Bachelor of Communications and am trying to learn Animate but do not plan to enrol in a formal Diploma as I need to learn in my own time.  I cannot find any good courses on Adobe Animate. I have tried Skillshare, Udemy, Youtube, Lynda and none of them have any THOROUGH contente. All of the courses provide partial information or provide skills to a very basic level.  I would be happy to pay money for a good course. Has anyone completed a good Animate course without having to enrol in a formal diploma/degree.   

I have a 16 frame run cycle and a 24 frame walk cycle. This is an issue because when I loop them, the run cycle disappears before the walk cycle finishes playing through. They're the same character using limbs from the same library so I can make changes to the same limbs in both cycles in real time. Is there any way to make each cycle into a symbol without hindering my ability to edit the parts of both cycles together so that I can just loop both from start to finish at the same time?

Hi Everyone! I was hoping to get some help. I am creating an animation and have overlayed a shape on top of a drawing of a boat to mask the boat and create a wave. When I click on mask with the wave shape however, the masking object dissepears. I have attached screenshots:Shows before the mask (the purple shape on top is what I create the mask on)Shows after I try to mask (the purple shape on top dissepears)Does anyone know what is going on?Thanks!Meera

Hi, So I'm using Adobe Animate, I'm trying to use the bone tool to connect few joints together, however when I join 2 connectors together with Bone Tool, when I want to connect the 2nd connector to the 3rd connector, the connector between 1st and 2nd disappears and creates one more Armature. I wish to connect all the joints together in 1 Armature, are there any shortcuts we could press on our keyboard to help? Thanks.

The tutorials for Adobe Animate need review and updating. While I was able to follow the Photoshop Tutorials with such precision and little effort, the tutorials for Animate are hard and cumbersome. For a start the interface is different from what is presented in the videos and functions do not react in the same way. For example, applying a linear gradient colour as instructed in the second video of Create a 2D character animation (Create the Scene). It would be helpful if you could review this and advise how to apply the linear colour as in the video and provide appropriate notes for each section, as you have done with the Photoshop Tutorials – which were very good. The notes that are provided in the Animate tutorials are brief and ineffective.

Hey up i'm trying to create a start / stop play button for an audio file within adobe AN, i can do it using action script 3, but not using html5 as it only plays audio as events, any suggestions.

Hi! I have created a "follow the bouncing ball" video for a children's song I have written.  The project is complete except for some tweeking, but I have a problem with the ball. As it moves to the right side of the stage it seems to vanish and is replaced by a square that almost looks like a mask of some kind.  When editing you can get this box to disappear and the ball to reappear by increasing the view size or moving the frame to the left, so I thought it might be weird artifact of the editor (the file I am working with is very large).  However, when I export the file the box is still there.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I want to Animate along to a song, but I'm only finding tutorials on how to add sound afterwards. Is there a way to input the sound first then be able to play it along while I animate? Sorry if tis is worded weirdly, not sure how to word it.

Hello, I'm a (broke) college student interested in animation, and I've read on the internet that there's a specific version of Adobe Flash that is claimed to be "legal" to use for free (version MX2004). I don't wanna be an outlaw, and I'd rather avoid using it if it affects Adobe in any way (though I doubt it'd do much since it's a piece of software that's 16 years old). But I wanna know if it's possible to use it for professional endeavors.Thank you.

I'm new to Animate and would like to do a simple stacking of cardboard box graphic, then have graphic truck come in.  I work with PP and AE mostly and will use the animation I create in a video.  Any insight is appreciated.  Im not a grpahic artist but I can follow step by steps.  Thanks!Kevin

I am trying to move an object (a movie clip called "m_bubble") across the screen using the EventListener tick. I need to turn on and turn off the movement so I have 'nested' the tick code inside a click EventListener (controlled by "b_button"):var instructioncount = 0;this.b_button.addEventListener("click", ct1.bind(this));function ct1(){instructioncount += 1;stage.addEventListener("tick", moveIt.bind(this));function moveIt(){if(instructioncount == 2){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 3){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 4){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 5){this.m_bubble.x -= 1;}if(instructioncount == 6){stage.removeEventListener("tick", moveIt.bind(this));}}}So it works, but here's the problem. When I click the button more than once the bubbles move faster and it doesn't appear predictable, even though the parameters are the same. As I recall, the good old 'enter_frame" in ActionScript didn't do this.   Why does Flash have to die - couldn'

Does anyone know why this would happen when enabling pressure sensitivity? It's happening at the start of every stroke, most noticeably when drawing up or down. I don't get this in photoshop or illustrator using the same Wacom Intuos Pro medium. 

A bit of context, I have used animate for years, since 2017, It worked fine and perfect on my old PC and I could make animations. Recently I have bought a new PC, better than the old one, after 1 week of using animate, yesterday it presented a problem, from oit of nowhere it started lagging my PC to the point that it didnt worked anymore, restarted it opened it again, and does the same, now it doesnt even open, it just starts consuming ram like crazy and it doesnt do nothing. I dont want answers like "get more ram" because my other PC had less RAM and worked fine. Specs: i5-8250U4 GB RamUHD 620

I've completed an animated video at 24 FPS but realised that it's rather slow. The quality is fine, the story just drags out a little so I need to quicken the pace.  I could remove frames to shorten the duration but I don't want to alter the music I made, which is designed to hit certain beats in the video.  I tried accelerating the pace using fast-forward features in After Effects and Premiere but some of the animations look a bit jittery as a result.  Is there any way the video speed can be increased while maintaining its smoothness?  Thanks in advance  

Hi there,  After putting a couple of hours into learning Adobe Animate I am now pretty sure that it will not be able to create what I want.   I am trying to create an interactive instilation accross four screens. A selection is made on screen #1 (refer to the below image) which will play a video on the other three screens.  Can Adobe Animate work on four screens?
