Animate

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

I'm trying to export a handful of animations I've made that use nested symbols (In the first image I'm inside the Potato symbol, inwhich is nested in the symbol of the dirt, and the potato has symbols nested in it aswell)When exporting to PNG sequence, It shows this pop up, Which obviously isnt the same size as the symbolVideo shows my problem, if anyone knows any sort of solution to this problem, please let me knowI'm using the latest version of Animate CC (2024 as of now)

Hi People, after being away from Flash for 10yr. i tried making a simple music thingie but ran into a problem:so i basically structured it brutally old school with time/frame animation and embedded media.so: i have 3 frames (with buttons jumping to the sprcific frames)each frame has embedded Video or Audio (playting on "event x1"so what i thought i could do was having the button go to frame 17 and play soundthen add a "SoundMixer.stopAll();" at frame 32 to stop the "old" sound from playing when the next button is called to go to frame 33 and play a new sound.stupid simple and seemed as the "easiest" (for a newbee) way to do it withoutgetting into too much actualy code.Problem remaining: after the SoundMixer.stopAll(); nothing will play (no sound) so i need to find a way to allow sound to play again, like:SoundMixer.ok to play whatever sound again(); and yes i know this is a stupid as it gets, no clever and there are 1000 better wats to do itbut i am afraid it is over my head Ideas?

Hi,Im a beginner with action script, and is there a way to stop a sound using actionscript?My sound is called "CRICKET.mp3", if thats necessary to know.

Scripts not runs when I publish JPEG. All I need is just change the dynamic text from script. _page_number.text = "1"; But Animate ignores Actions Script 3 with JPEG.Please make it work on next versions of Animate.

 

Hi all.  I accidently deleted a Default Asset under Rigs (cave man jump) and I unistalled Adobe Animate and reistalled it, hoping to get it would return to how it was, but no luck.  I tried to go to the Adobe Stock website to find it and download it, but I cannot access the website because I am using CCE All Apps for K-12.  Please help. Thanks!!!

I've been working on an animation and I came to a point where I clicked "saved as" to rename the file and overwrite a previous version. There was a pop-up which even clarified whether I wanted to overwrite the file and I clicked OK. Just before closing my computer, I clicked save just in case. I opened it in the morning and everything looked normal. However, the program was frozen and glitched out so I had to close it. When I reopened the file, everything after what I assumed to be the time I overwrote the file the night before hadn't registered. I looked through my files, and all of them said last changes happened around 11pm, even though I saved my final version around 2am. Hours of work on an assignment are gone, I can't find any information on this specific problem and don't understand what went wrong. Is there a way to retrieve it, or a way to avoid this again?

Wondering if this has happened to anyone else. When I play my animation by pressing return in Animate it plays fine. However when I click the Play Movie play button to test it in a browser (Chrome) the animations are flying in from either side of my ad in kind of a jittery and overlapping way.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the next frame? Apart from clicking with the cursor on the timeline

I usually like to show video and here is the video. https://youtu.be/wLGLhulj-70You see that I have dayselectionscreen a big large movieclip in the wholescreen, inside of it are little 'dayselectors', where you're going to be able to select what day of the game you're on, the left right page buttons are programmed to increase/decrease 'page number', each day selector is going to show you what day on each page 1-24, 25-48, 49-72, and until you get tired of clicking the button, leading you to believe there are going to be infinite days/scenarios. My coding works to generate day numbers, but it does not properly update the label on each day selector so each day selector says something like "" "1" or "111". But you can at least see that the variable going into the text box is correct because, I use trace commands. So what is causing the textboxes to show 1's, and not show correctly?

I have attempted every method I have looked online for, but none of them have seemed to work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downgrading to an earlier version, and cutting up the video into smaller chunks, but it always goes white screen. This itself is only 45 seconds, so I know it is not the length. 

The first issue is the swf output not matching what it's in the timeline of the program. It works correctly in Flash CS3 but I'm looking to stick to Animate if possible.It's just two images, 2 layers, and 1 frame. If I do the same thing in Flash CS3, I get the left image and I don't understand why this is happeningThe second issue is figuring out how to attach the image that I want to use for the mask, to a specific object in the masking layer. For instance, if I move that graphic out of the image dimension for the layer attached to it, nothing is shown. So if I have motion going on this will be an issue. I'm assuming this could involve, instance names, and registration points, but I don't know how to apply this

When I open and work on a file or start a new one it all works fine as I'm working and drawing but all of the sudden it crashes.

Hi,Really new to using Adobe Animate, so apologies if this is a dumb question.I want to create interactive training videos in animate (i.e. couple buttons, pick one and it displays a training demo) - this part I can do.What I want to know is how do I export/publish this in a file type that is compatible with confluence? So that I can place that video on a confluence page and users can interact with it directly from that page, not need to download or play seperately.Has anyone done this and if so can you let me know how? If you can ELI5 this it would be super appreciated cause I am new new to Adobe Animate.Side note: This is for work purposes so needing to install or download addons is difficult. Security restrictionsThanks 

Hi all,anyone know if the most up to date version of the API documentation officially posted anywhere? The best I can find is from 2013, which is missing features like advanced layers manipulation. Thanks. 

Hola a todos! Desde que me instalé Aniimate tengo problemas de exportación. Cuando intendo con h264, me sale que MEdia Encoder no puede codificar. Cuando intento con formato quicktime, se exporta un archivo vacío, de 0 kb. Es frustante, no puedo exportar nada de lo que creo. Me pueden ayudar por favor?

Why is Adobe animate crashing every time I try to change the width of the stroke on the property panel,  If I make a line with the paintbrush tool, line tool or whatever and then I try to change the width, the software crashes. Why is this happening?  

Hi,So I've installed Flash Professional CC and honestly I'm enjoying so far, although there are some features that didn't please me like slow respond when using brush when using Cintiq 13HD. I also noticed that when I use the brush with Cintiq, the button for brush pressure is missing. I need to know how can I enable brush pressure in Flash CC. Any idea?Thanks.Regards,Mohammad Ahmed Fikree

There is an error with adobe animate. I am unable to publish when hitting a certain file size. when i do error #2136 is thrown. i have repeatedly tested all resources and code and have confirmed them to be free of errors. adobe please address because i am very unhappy that i paid for this program only to be hit with this crap

When I draw with the paint brush tool weird hatched lines apear instead of the brush style I selected, but once I lift my stylus it changes to the brush style i had selected. I'v tried changing the brush style and while it says theres that brush style is selected the hatched lines still apear. I'v attempeted changing the spacing  and closing the program neither worked.  

Hi masters,Have a good day,I'm working with some automation tasks with JSFL.In my script, i copied(clipCopy()) a library from ScreenA.fla and pasted(clipPaste()) the library to ScreenB.fla. A Resolve Library Conflict dialog appears and blocks my process. I'm curious if there is a way to interact with the dialog by JSFL script. I'm looking forward to your support. Thank you so much,Vietanh.

This issue could have been around for a while, but I can't seem to apply more than one single transform effect to my symbol. Anyone got a work-around?I haven't used 9-slicing a lot with Animate... but I'm familiar with it in Illustrator and it definately works in there! All my apps are up-to-date 😉 *I learned to illustrate with Flash close to 20 years ago, so I'm very comfy with Animates drawing tools and the illustrations in the grab are all lines with gradients (no bitmaps).

Hello!I'm trying to have the ability to make a font smaller if a variable string is longer than the textfield (function updateFormat). I've been able to do it easily in the past, but this time there is an issue. Problem is that it is on a movie clip that is clicked on by the user (and there are multiple instances of said mc on the stage). So I want to have the function execute on the textfield within the clicked instance of the movieclip when it is clicked. I thought just having the code use currentTarget would be fine; however I get syntax error 1084 as Animate expects the right parenthesis before the dot. Any thoughts on how I can make this work? Pertinent code is provided below. Thanks!function movePrize(event: MouseEvent) { if (event.currentTarget.pz_txt.text == "") { event.currentTarget.pz_txt.text = wonPrize; updateFormat(event.currentTarget.pz_txt); wonPrize = null; } else { wonPrize = event.currentTarget.pz_txt.text; event.currentTarget.pz_txt.text = ""; } }
