Hi! I need a jsfl command to create a new file from an .fla file that located in my app. Something like this: fl.createDocument("htmlcanvas", "C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApp\FLATemplates\300x600.fla); I've searched for a long time but it seems like there aren't any command like this exist. Any Ideas?Thank you!!!

Hello! I've been working on building a character rig that has a shirt with colored sides that are separate mask pieces inside of the symbol and clipped onto the shirt base, that could be animated to turn around the torso to create create a fake 3d effect. Though. I was wondering if there was a way to replicate an effect that the side masks affect the outline of the shirt, so the outline follows the masks? Like the image attached below for example (or if there's an easier way of going by this). Any help is greatly appreciated ◡̈

I'm trying to set Hide Panels to the Tab key, but this can't be done in the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu.I located my custom Shortcut File in C:\Users\[Username]\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Animate\2018\Shortcuts > [Filename].xmlUnfortunately, for any key that is not a letter, Adobe uses some proprietary keycode values instead of the standard Windows ones. For example, F4 is 10 where it would normally be 115. Is there a lost somewhere of Abode's keycode calues for Windows?

My document (and recover file of it) were recently corrupted when I was rendering another project and animating in Adobe Animate 2024 at the same time. Yes, I know it was a bad idea to put my laptop to so much work at one time. A message of "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." is being displayed (attached screenshot). I tried doing all the advised things, but they don't work:I opened it on older, 2023 versionI renamed it to .rar file and tried fixing archives, nothing.I tried importing an .xml file, but it says one line of the code is broken (attached screenshot).Other files of this project are fine, but this scene is not, and I will have to re-do it if I don't recover it. I could also just try to get the assets back themselves, and just re-do the animation. Is there any other way to recover at least some parts of it? I tried attaching the damaged file itself here, but I can't do that. If there is a way to do it, then maybe someone

I'm trying to use masks to shade my animation which is inside of a symbol.I created a copy of the symbol with darker colors and put it as a mask but some parts are not masked properly or completely broken.

Hi, i'm Faizal Arshad Putra Adika. I want anyone to explain AS3/AS code to compare Adobe AIR platform in PC or smartphone. this is a sample code:if(adobe_air_platform_in_pc) { trace("You're using Adobe AIR Platform in PC"); } if(adobe_air_platform_in_smartphone) { trace("You're using Adobe AIR Platform in Smartphone"); } So, i can make and export a game for PC and smartphone in one project without creating a second ".fla" project, i just use in one "fla" file.

I need to know. When I tried going to one scene like stage2, a vcam stays invisible. But when I return to scene1 the vcam shows up a gray screen. I know it because I returned to scene1, it showed it for a second then everything became a gray screen. Whats the cause of this?

Hello everyone,I've been making a small animation and now that I have the general motion down, want to make a copy from it and move it somewhere else on the page. I can't find the edit multiple frames button anywhere, is it just gone in the 2021 version or am I overlooking it? I also tried importing it to the 2020 version, but I can't change my vector object at all or even select the object I'm working with. Any help will be very appreciated.

Usually, when importing a video to be animated on, I go to File / Import / Import Video, i import my flv file, choose Embed FLV in SWF, choose embedded video and everything checked, but this thing when i folow that process and finish, i t imports te video, except it has a completely black screen. Why is this happening?

I have been trying to figure out the cause of this error for a long time. My original post was last month can be seen here https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/adobe-animate-has-a-serious-bug/m-p/14738919/page/2#M377142.im just wondering if anyone has anymore information on error #2136. Yes i know it says "file contains invalid data" but that doesnt really tell me anything useful. does anyone have any information on what exactly may cause this error?  i can not find a single thing on the internet or adobe's website

Can someone please tell me how to clear the cache in Adobe Animate? (Just like how you would clear it in AE using the purge feature perhaps)? It's driving me up a wall where my .mp4 render is not matching my project playback and I think it's a cache issue because nothing else is making sense! It was working FINE for this entire job but for some reason decides to glitch out now. On things I haven't even touched since previous renders!  Help!

I have created some symbols. Some symbols are created as duplicate and modified later. When I want to swap the original symbol with new one I an not see the newly created symbol for swapping.In above screenshot you can see that there are multiple symbols with name starting with L but in swap dialog these are not visible that make impossible to swap. Any help in this issue is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all, I'm creating a batch of banner ads using Adobe Animate (Canvas), and one of the frames has too much content to fit. As such I'd like to be able to add a scrollbar on the side so that users can scroll down to view the rest of the content. Is this possible, and if so how?

Hoping someone can point out where I'm goinging wrong... I am trying to reverse frames in animate and have done successfully many times. However, when trying to reverse frames this particular time, instead of reversing the frames it put everything into one frame. I'm not sure why it's doing that? I'm highlighting the frames I want to reverse, right clicking, and then selecting 'reverse frames' Any ideas? Many thanks!

I just reinstalled flash and reset all settings. Now when i go into a symbol, all other assets on the main timelines are still fully visible instead of going opaque. Does anyone know which setting this is?

Hello everyoneI'm having a problem with my Action, when I try to import (import com.adobe.images.PNGEncoder) nothing appears in the menu, it's empty and then the error appears as shown in the attached image, can someone please help me, what could be happening??Thank you very much. 

Hi, I'm trying to make a simple interactive animation to be embedded in a website.  The content is an interactive timeline, displayed vertically.  We're optimising the content for phones, since that's how we expect most users to access it.  The first frame will effectively be a menu screen, showing the timeline divided into sections.  Each section on this menu screen is a button, and clicking on one will zoom into a more detailed version of that section of the timeline, with clickable buttons for information on each date.  The zoomed-in sections will each be quite long (i.e. more than one screen tall) so need to be scrollable.  The height of the display application that will be used to embed the interactive in the web page can be adjusted, so I can make the animation as tall as it needs to be to hold the tallest of the zoomed-in sections, and users can then scroll down it by scrolling the webpage.  Except if I make the stage tall enough to d

Hey, I'm trying to run more than one HTML5 animation on my website, they work separate but they don't work at the same time, I'm realising that there's probably an issue with the HTML code but can't figure it out. Here's the code for one of the animations:<script src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/667d75b3a39631c47d36d495/66b6094d227936dca5db8bac_createjs.min.txt"></script> <script src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/667d75b3a39631c47d36d495/66b611d395ff1673d2528820_Animate-Engage.txt"></script> <script> var canvas, stage, exportRoot, anim_container, dom_overlay_container, fnStartAnimation; function init() { canvas = document.getElementById("canvas_E"); anim_container = document.getElementById("animation_container_E"); dom_overlay_container = document.getElementById("dom_overlay_container_E"); var comp=AdobeAn.getComposition("4A672C69714D6349967537ACC8DD4484"); var lib=comp.getLibrary(); var loader = new createjs.LoadQueue(false); loader.add

Hello. I have developeved a simple animation with buttons. The buttons each point to an external webpage. this.blue.addEventListener("click", fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage() {window.open("https://apps.usgs.gov/hivis/", "_blank");} When I launch the animation using control>test movie>in browser, the buttons work just fine. However, when I launch it using the html file, the animation loads, but the buttons don't work. I am developing an interactive dashboard that will live on a large touchscreen system and I would like the office staff to simply be able to click on a file to launch the dashboard. I want to avoid having to install Animate on the host system. Is there a way to export, or other wise save, my animation so it will work as a standalone file in this scenario? So, someone can just open up a directory, click on the file, and "voila!" the animation (and the buttons) work.   Thank you.  

Hello all. I'm a total beginner with coding.  My canvas projects runs well with no issues, but when testing in-browser, I'm met with multiple warnings: "Multiple readback operations using getImageData are faster with the willReadFrequently attribute set to true" (see attached). No idea how to do this. The closest lead I've found is from this forum, with the answer "You need to download and link local the create.js library". How is this done? I've tried opening the local JS file and cannot find any "canvas.getContext" or "getImageData" lines (see attached). Limiting resource consumption is my main goal here. I know this warning can ultimately be ignored, but my project is full of art and animations, and the project feels as if it's struggling the longer it runs. Do I have no other choice but to cut content out?  Any help is appreciated. 

Hi just learning animate... is there a way to draw symmetry with the brush tool, like in photoshop?

to start this off, I have never had this issue before and I never touch any of the coding in my animations, just use tweening to pan my camera and to change tints and opacities of my objects. However, right now for some reason my camera and opacities of in my animations have just flat out stopped working and I have two similar errors going on that include this error code. Please someone help! I don't know how coding works. I have added the the whole script in this message.      package privatePkg{import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.display.DisplayObject;import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;import flash.geom.Matrix;import flash.geom.Transform;import flash.geom.Matrix3D;import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.geom.ColorTransform;import flash.events.Event;import fl.motion.Color;import fl.motion.AdjustColor;import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;import privatePkg.CameraGuide; /* container type valuepublic static const CAMERA = 0;public

I design my animations in Illustrator and import them to the stage. The tracking is always so terrible that I end up basically hand tracking between each letter to make it readable. Has anyone found an easier solution?

Hello people, let's see if you can solve this little mystery for me! Sorry if my grammar and explanation is a bit off, this isn't my native language.I animate little videos for my own amusement and use motion tweens to move objects around. Simple. Sometimes I don't want the objects to move along a straight line so I change tools to (V), grab the purple line and move it around a bit. Thus the object moves in, for example, a half circle. So far so good. The problem is that sometimes when I do this the base position of the object itself also changes. Here's an example:Let's say in the first frame of the motion tween the object is positioned at X: 411 Y: 416 and in the last frame it has been moved to X: 525 Y:450. I grab the purple line and manipulate it to make the object move in half a circle. For some reason this not only changes the position of the object during the tween, it also moves the base position of the object even affecting the first and last frame. Now the object suddenly beg
