I'm struggling to get a gradient transparency mask to work in HTML5 canvas. I realise that I'll need to use AlphaMaskFilter but it is above my skill level. I have had no luck with Adobe support so far but it may be to do with me trying to explain what I need to achieve, it's been Easter, there's a bad flu going round, all the above. I'll take to blame for being an amateur but I'd really like someone to help. There's a couple of solutions to masking in HTML5 canvas if you search "Gradient Transparency Mask" in the community forum but hard for me to work out how to apply to my situation.  The answer from expert Joäo is much appreciated but hard for me to work out in my case as the .fla provided works on a shape not a scrolling movie clip (but then again it may be because of my skill level).  I've made an example in AS3 and provided as a movie to show exactly the effect that I want to achieve (See the movie below of how I have set it up using AS3 which will not translate st

Hey there. So I used Animate to create a simple drag and drop-style game without any issues, but I am having trouble exporting the project. When I open the game as an .SWF file, I get a small white box with a 'movie not loaded' message. Also, I get "Safari cannot open page" when I drag th icon to my browser.  I have tried exporting the game as all available file formats but none have worked. Should the game be saved as an .SWF file and if so, am I having an issue with the file and not Animate? Also, I am on a Mac. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've been working in Animate CC 2020. I saved my work but now can't open it as I get an error message:An error occurred opening file '?Users/litzajansz/Desktop/Woos anim/Woos-1.fla"I've just finished my project (after 2 weeks). I tried to export the file as a video but I had to force quit as it crashed in Media Encoder. When I tried to open it again I got the error message. The last recovery file in Animate opening page is from 2 months ago. Any help gratefully received.L  

I hate the new UI and I really hope it doesn't go to other apps like photoshop or premiere. Is there a way to use the old UI without installing a 2019 version? 

guys, I need some advice about how can I connect my jsfl array (for example "all movie clips in the library") with Actionscript and then show it in the "List" in swf panel like in code below but with an array of names of library items//var my_array:Array = new Array();//my_array = MMExecute("fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items.name");var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider();dp.addItem( { iconSource:RedBox, label:"Item 1" } );dp.addItem( { iconSource:RedBox, label:"Item 2" } );dp.addItem( { iconSource:RedBox, label:"Item 3" } );dp.addItem( { iconSource:RedBox, label:"Item 4" } );var list:List = new List();list.iconField = "iconSource";list.dataProvider = dp;addChild(list);I want to do with array something as I did with simple texts update in swf (count of movie clips "myItems")function callMeFromJavascript(arg:String):void{try {var name:String = String(arg);myTextField.text = name;var numLibItems = MMExecute("fl.getDocumentDOM().library.items.length");myItems.text = numLibItems;

When you move the pivot point on an object, it reduces its size. I work for years in flash / animate and I have never seen it, is this a bug?Look at the example:

I created a character using pixel drawing, I later transformed it to vector drawing using image trace in illustrator. Some of the lines did however not get completely draw so I used object drawing to do some finish touches on my character. I do however want to transform my characters into smaller piece (1 layer for arm 1 for legs etc.) but i dont know how to do it or if its even possbible.

Hi, I'm using this actionscript below to stop animation in Animate 2019: if (!this.loop)this.loop = 1;if (this.loop++ == 3)createjs.Ticker.removeEventListener('tick', stage); After updating to Animate 2020 this script isn't working any more. I would appreciate any help 🙂 Br / Preben

Hello, I come with a question - is there any way to change my language in Animate 2020? I've tried to change my laptop language to ENG and it doesn't work, and I cannot find it anywhere in help or anything. Is it possible to change the language in Animate? How can I do that? I'm okay with reinstalling/anything to get this to work. 

So i am trying to figure this out, for some reason when i publish my html5 canvas project, Animate will not make a 24 or 32 bit spritesheet any longer. It will make the 8 Bit one though, when i publish it it says 210 Bitmaps packed successfully into 6 spritesheet(s), but when i check the folder there isnt anything in it and the page fails to display anything. I have tried changing the size of the sprite sheets from 2048x2048 to 4096x4096 to 8192x8192  so not sure what the issue is, any help would be appreciated.thx

So I was dumb enough when learning Dreamweaver in 2003 to use some of their Flash applets in a web site.  One simply forces a FONT onto a clients screen (The Banner of Course) on each page, controlled by a template.  I have no idea how to accomplish the same thing now that Flash is kaputnik.  Any pointers cheerfully accepted!Thanks,David S.

Hi,Last week i was reading some replies that JoaoCésar gave to some other users about navigating the timepline using scroll and this works fine to me:var that = this;this.targetTimeline = this;this.targetTimeline.loop = true;this.targetTimeline.force = 1;this.targetTimeline.friction = 0.7;this.targetTimeline.minFrame = 0; // set the start range value herethis.targetTimeline.maxFrame = this.targetTimeline.totalFrames - 1; // set the end range value herethis.loopClamp = function(value, min, max){if (value < min)return min;if (value > max)return max;return value;};this.clamp = function(value, min, max){if (value < min)return max;if (value > max)return min;return value;};this.onMouseWheel = function (e){e.preventDefault();var evt = window.event || e;var delta = Math.max(-1, Math.min(1, evt.wheelDelta || -evt.detail));that.targetTimeline.speed = delta * that.force;};this.tickHandler = function (e){var clamp = that.targetTimeline.loop ?

Hello everyone! I am interested in the question, whether it is possible to import brushes from Photoshop in Animate or in the same style as in Photoshop? Animate really lacks raster brushes (

It looks like it's possible to create animated ad banners for Google Ads through Animate. However, it looks like you need to go in to the code and do a few cut/paste job to "make it work". Is there a more straight forward way to simpler create the banner and export/publish the files needed? (zipped or not) This way you can simpler upload it to the valuator to check if it worked? The cut/pasting of codes can be intimating to designers not comfortable with going into the code level. Any suggestions? Is this even possible?

How do I make globes spinning around in HTML5 canvas.

I like to set the lower side button on my cintiq stylus to Erase, so I can hold it down and erase and then switch back to the brush i'm using when I release the button.  This works perfectly fine in Photoshop, but does nothing in Animate. Before you advise me to install the new driver -  I have double-checked that my iOS, my Wacom driver, AND my copy of Animate CC 2020 are 100% up-to-date.   This is a common issue, I have seen many posts about it, and I'm frustrated by how useless the response has been.  How can this be?  Clearly this is something a lot of working professionals are experiencing.  I have worked for years on television programs made in Adobe Animate, every studio I've worked at uses Wacom Cintiqs.  This is not some esoteric, little-used tool.  this is the ERASER.  It used to work just fine, I don't know what changed. Even trying to use the back-end 'eraser' on the stylus is malfunctioning, it erases all alo
