Animate

When creating HTML5 banners, the filesize limits are really draconian sometimes. The best workflow for keeping both reasonable image quality and filesize is to prepare image assets in Photoshop, export them to PNG or JPG and squeeze them in TinyPNG or similar. But after importing those into Animate and Publish, we discovered that Animate keeps stubbornly "optimizing" them, resulting in twice the filesize. A checkbox "Do not fiddle with my images" in Publish settings would be really an improvement, I guess...

I still use Adobe Director Lingo once a while. There used to be a discussion forum but it's gone. Is there an archive that I may search for answers that people asked before? Is there another public forum for this old software? I have a question in sorting a list. When sorting, it sorts in alphabetic order. How do I know the order of the sort so I can find the items in a different list?For example: list1 = ["aaa", "zzz", "mmm", "bbb"]list1.sort would make it ["aaa", "bbb","mmm","zzz"], but I'd like to know the changed order is 1, 4, 3, 2 if the original is 1, 2, 3, 4. I need this so I can pick up the value from another related list based on the new order after sorting. Sorry to post it hear. I thought there were many Lingo developers moved to ActionScript in the past.

Animate allows me to export the sequence however when I look at the hundreds of files they are all blank white.

All my codes works except for 1 for actioscript 3 in animate. i get an error Scene 1, Layer 'actionscript', Frame 1, Line 19, Column 6 1120: Access of undefined property counter. I am not too sure what to replac counter with. Here is my code import flash.utils.Timer;import flash.events.TimerEvent;import fl.transitions.Tween;import fl.transitions.easing.*; mc1.alpha = 0;mc2.alpha = 0;mc3.alpha = 0;  var timer:Timer = new Timer(500,27);timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timerListener);timer.start(); function timerListener(event:TimerEvent):void{if(timer.currentCount == 1){if(counter==1){var tween6:Tween = new Tween(mc3,"alhpa",Strong.easeOut,1,0,1,true);}var tween1:Tween = new Tween(mc1,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,2,true);} if(timer.currentCount ==10){var tween2:Tween = new Tween(mc1,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,1,0,1,true);var tween3:Tween = new Tween(mc2,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,2,true);} if(timer.currentCount == 19){var tween4:Tween = new Tween(

 I have 17 layers of different parts of this character's body under one folder. They're all parented. I want to add keyframe/insert tween but if I do so, every other layers will disappear. Plus, I moved the playhead to 30 (1s) and tried to make some changes with the wrap tool (W) there, but the playhead would move back to 0s. Please help me explain. Thank you so much.

HII cant get my head around this problem; when im exporting my animations from Animate i want 25fps and  when i open them in Quicktime and try to walk frame by frame i can only see 12 drawings per second..?? I know the file s in 25fps from the inspector, and i have tried both in premiere and after effects and there framerate is the right one. I guess this question is more related to quicktime..What I need is a tool where a can go easily from one frame to the next to analyse the animation in detail, when i have the mp4. without opening the .fla.. best regards,Frida

Hi Community, I designed the interactive infographic on that page: https://www.elisabethdeim.com/infografik-illustration-die-welt-der-insekten Unfortunately, "Make responsive" didn't work. Whatever settings I used (except stretch to screen), the image ended up shrinked to the screen height. I think, the Animate-script doesn't work with such long images.  That's why I finally exported it with "make responsive" unticked, because it was the only way to get it unscaled, and tried to find a css/html solution to make it responsive.  If I change the width of the browser window or view it on my phone, the infographic doesnt change in width, it goes above the page dimensions. My goal is it, that the infographic fits into the page design like the text and the other images and is as responsive as these.  It works in preview in Chrome Development Tools. When I change there "canvas" width to "100% and height to "auto" it resizes perfectly when I cha

Hi guys back again already. So I have a button, fire16, controlling the frames of another movieClip on the timeLine, instance named score, which is simply 0-1-2-3-4-5 dots over 6 frames to show the score. this.fire16.addEventListener("click", fireSweet.bind(this));function fireSweet(){var TP = this.score.timeline.position++;this.score.gotoAndPlay(TP);}Well this code works well for first click, goes from frame 0 to frame 1 every time but after that it almost seems to go off random each new click. Any help would be much appreciated!

A quick rundown of the issue im having and my goal: I'm trying to build an interactive animation scene, where there's objects on the stage I want the user to be able to interact with certain objects and have them change the room a bit as they do. Their goal is to wake up the stickman in the bed.  I'm running into a problem getting the animation to play correctly. I made the blanket on the bed a button, assigned an Up and Over state, and placed a movie clip in the Down state. When tested however, I have to hold the mouse button to get the animation to play, and once you release the mouse button, the the blanket returns to the bed as if untouched.  I just want the blanket to stay off stage after the animation runs, and need the animation to play off of a click not a hold. This is for a school assignment due sunday so any help or brainstorming is appreciated ❤️

 As you can see in the library, number 49.png is missing and the next picture is 50.png and its there.  This seems to happen sometimes. I usually have to reload all of my sprites and make a name the second one thge name with a 2 aftr the name. Then I add the first one into the second one so I dont have lots of the same thing named. Is there any reason this keeps happening?

I tried everything to fix this and its not working i need 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.
