Animate

I am unable to import mp3 files of any kind in Flash CS6. Tried import to stage, import to library, Drag and Drop... no dice. Receiving a generic error message. Tried closing out and restarting,etc. - still not working.Anyone else having this issue?

Hi everyone,I'm new to Adobe Animate and I'm making a stickman movie project, and I have gotten this error with a button.I've checked the script and the button's instance names all match up but the error keeps showing up.I tried turning off advanced layers and it works but I need the advanced layers for camera.Can anyone please help?

What if I want to make An into a complete animated film?

Hello, I have no idea if this is a feature or how even to go about this. I have a tweened head on one layer that moves from side to side. I have my mouth shapes for lip sync already drawn, but I can't find a way to have them follow the tween of the head without manually moving them frame by frame and hoping they stay in the same spot on the face. Is it possible to tween one mouth shape (ie. closed mouth) and somehow imput keyframes inside the tween that allows the mouth drawing to change, but the tween to follow its path? I also know theres an auto lip sync feature I've never used- is it possible to somehow tween one of these lip syncs and still have the mouth shapes change while continuing on their path? I am seriously lost as to how to impliment this practically. I appreciate any help ^^

The toolbar just above the timeline looks differentAnd I want it to look like this: 

Sometime when you drag multiple section each with different colors fills(gradient or pure color) simultaneously,One of the section will turn into pure black( it's black not other color maybe because I use pure black fill to draw line contours?)I try to cut the block and move the rest first, then paste the block and move it, but it will still turn black or even vanish .But this situation is not frequently occurs, it seems totally random to me.Is it a glitch or with a reasonable cause, because it's really annoying and inconvenient.I believe this problem has been discussed before, but I don't know what key word should I use to search it.If this is well discuss somewhere else, can anyone provide me a link to the article? thank you.

Can someone show me how to get the welcome screen back on Adobe Animate 2024 so I can click on a video tutorial. I accidentally closed it. I am on a PC and using windows 10. Thanks

Hi guys, haven't used flash for many years but drawn back in lately with animate. So, may I ask 2 questions please?1) So in a movie clip, I have a nested movie clip. From this inner clip, using code on a keyFrame, can I target objects in the parent movie above me? Specifically I want to change visibllity of a object up there.2) I have a variable, X, that counts up or down depending on which button is pressed. I would like to be able to see the variable for troubleshooting. Can I create a text field that displays X when I test the page in a browser?Thanks for any help, I'm shocked at how hard it is to find info on java in animate 😕😕

hi, i have a problem where i already set the brightness for selected object for -73 so that when it moves to other side, it will remain in -73, but after the second frame, it changes brightness and when it reaches the destination, it turned -73.How do I go about this? your help helped me a lot 

Please share link of tutorial that clearly explains how to arrange different body parts of character in Adobe Animate and what type of symbols to use for different body parts. Then how to use character in video projects.

First time posting here. I've searched for other answers to this topic but haven't found anythign that helps. I have a fairly simply interactive video, and sometimes it runs perfectly well and does everything fine, but other times it freezes at this same moment (frame 450, or really frame 449 since it is html5 canvas). The movie clip on the stage is still playing, and the music is still looping in the background, but the video isn't progressing. There are some buttons that take you through the video on different pathways, and it seems that if you press more of them before this moment then the video is more likely to freeze, but it also sometimes freezes here even if you press the minimum number of buttons. Whichever path you take through the video, you get to this moment by clicking a button with a 'gotoandPlay' action attached that takes you to frame 449, and then there is no active code on that frame, but for some reason it often just freezes there.  Let me k

im not really seeing any options to do so. Anyone got an idea how to grab audio DIRECTLY from the library?The only option i have is using external software to record my audio. But i wanna be loyal to adobe animate so.. is there a way? (image is my pov)

I have this code, which allows me to export each visible layer as a sequence of PNGs. But I'm trying to export only the first frame, and I can't find where to change it in the code. any help? var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM(); var lyrs = doc.getTimeline().layers; var len = lyrs.length; var saveDir = fl.browseForFolderURL("Choose a folder in which to save your exported PNGs:"); if (saveDir) { // Crear carpeta con el nombre del archivo var docFolderName = doc.name; var exportDest = saveDir + "/" + docFolderName + "_PNG"; FLfile.createFolder(exportDest); fl.outputPanel.clear(); var originalTypes = new Array(len); // Guardar el tipo de capa original y cambiar todas las capas a guía for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) { var lyr = lyrs[i]; originalTypes[i] = lyr.layerType; lyr.layerType = "guide"; } var count = 0; // Establecer el fotograma actual al primer fotograma doc.getTimeline().currentFrame = 0; /

Hi Everyone. I have a question that I hopefully can find clarity on. I must grab information from an internal server to show dynamic data using HTML5 Canvas. I am using AS 3.0, which we will have to terminate at some point, but it works perfectly. My issue is moving the dynamic data accessed with internal servers using Animate HTML Canvas. Specifically, I have an issue exporting the animation with HTML Canvas while accessing the dynamic data coded inside Animate. If I hardcode the data, I don't have a problem. However, I am trying to do it so that the dynamic data code I put in Animate exports the dynamic data called. I hope doing it this way decreases the need to code outside Animate. Has anyone experienced this? And is this even possible? If it is possible, how do I do it? 

Hello, I know this has come up over the years on other adobe products, but I have to reiterate something here on the Animate portion of the site.Windows does this thing where when you hit Alt, as a hotkey it selects the menu at the top of the window. Standard stuff, kind of annoying, but in programs like Animate, it's a constant problem. The alt key is used constantly in any workflow. Any time you want to click and drag a keyframe to copy it, you hit alt. Any time you want to reverse the zoom function, you hit alt. And every time you hit alt, it selects the menu and doesn't deselect unless you hit alt a second time. So doing nearly anything else, like playing the scene, you get the Windows error noise.I understand that this is Windows' problem to start with. And I also know that you can use AutoHotKey to make a script to bypass this (I can't get the script to work, I don't know if it has to do with a recent Windows update or something, but it's annoying). But the fa

I would like to create animations based on the movements of a slider but I don't see a slider in Animation. Why is that or do I miss something? Thanks for any help!Wim LammersBasicPhysiology.org 

Whenever I click "test movie", one certain layer doesn't show up at all. It's not a guided layer or anything, just a regular layer.

Hi, I'm just wondering why my previous keyframe/frames are showing up in my new keyframe as a "silouette" type of thing. I drew all my keyframes in photoshop beforehand and then importing each layer into animate. My problem is that my keyframe picture is appearing and overlapping over my new keyframe and I've already tried moving my keyframe one frame over but then it just makes it a white screen for a frame cause nothing's there. Can anyone help asap? Example down below:  

import flash.media.Sound;import flash.media.SoundChannel;button_9.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, resumeSound);var sonido1: Sound = new Sound(); var soundChannel: SoundChannel;function resumeSound(event: MouseEvent): void {if (!soundChannel) {soundChannel = sonido1.play();}}Pueden ayudarme? nose porque sucede este errorse supone que la dar click en el boton deberia seguir reproduciendo el audio pero no lo hace nose que estoy haciendo mal,  Estoy trabajando en adobe animate 2023 

I'm having trouble resizing graphics. I'm using vector graphics. All snapping is turned off. I am looking for precision scaling. Even when input manually, not using any transform tools or scaling, the numbers jump randomly. When I lock width and height and update one measurement, I end up with different results for multiple objects on the stage that started with the same measurements. For instance: I have 7 sharps (hashtag symbol), each one starts the same: 16.05w x 54h px I size them all down, some end up:  7.45w x 25h px Others end up: 7.4w x 25h px I am attaching a screenshot showing them before resizing and resized on the right. I can line them all up in the same position on the stage or have them staggered like this, same results. Is there a snapping, preferences, or advanced editing setting that I can adjust?  Also, If I manually change the width to match, selecting to "unlock width and height" the number won't stay input. So I can cha

Ever since I converted to Canvas I have not been able to embed audio into the timeline like I used to do with SWFs. The MP3 is in the library of the FLA file, and it is displayed in the timeline.  It's just silent after I compile the file into an HTML. Any suggestions?

When I go to export in Adobe Animate, the colors appear washed out. Exported in H.264 format in High Quality 1080p HD.

Hey guys, is anyone else experiancing memory or processing issues with the 24.0.3 version of Animate? I'm working on a project that is much smaller than many of my former ones, and yet I'm starting to get the little grey boxes where the screen in lagging. (pic included) I know this happens when I'm doing something with a lot of big layers or anything that requires alot of processing power or memeory but I've done much bigger projects even on my last computer that wasn't as powerful as my current model.  Could this be an issue with this version of animate? Whats happening?
