Animate

Animate is a great software but expensive, and i dont want to pirate it. Im looking for alternatives that are similar so any suggestions?

After an automatic update, the Bezier handles of flexibones no longer work as before.All my old files look distorted. I read that the programming was changed. However,when I create a new animation, for example, a simple arm with three points,and drag the handlers, unwanted corners immediately appear wherethere were previously elegant curves. Is this a bug, or do I need towork completely differently?I installed an older version and it works again. However, I'm afraid that these older versions will eventually no longer be available. Unfortunately, this affects not only me but also my students, as I work as a lecturer.

Warum stürzt Animate jedesmal ab, wenn ich einfachste Vektoren aus Illustrator per copy und paste einfüge!Vielleicht kennt jemand das Problem und kann weiterhelfen?

Noticing in Adobe Animate 2024 that if the animation is running, you can't zoom in (not even with the zoom tools) Was not like this on 2019. Been trying to switch because of 2019's unreliable auto recovery but every single time I do I remember this small issue and it drives me up the wall. Is there a way I can fix this?  

Whenever I try to open Adobe Animate, it just doesn’t work. It gets on “Loading document types,” and the program immediately closes itself. I’ve already tried replacing the DLL file, but that just caused a new problem — it gave me two error boxes, then Animate would open for a couple of seconds before crashing again. I’ve also tried resetting preferences. I really don’t want to update to a newer version, so I’m kind of stuck.

Im looking for alternatives that are similar to adobe animate, so any suggestions?

I finished a small edit on the file in Animate, saved, and closed the tab. I realized I forgot something and I tried to open from "recently opened", but the program said that my file does not exist.It disappeared from my hard drive that I'd saved it on, it was there just a few moments ago. It's not in trash, it's not anywhere on my computer, it's not in animate. I've been working on this project for over a year, it is very important to me. I don't know what to do. Please help. Is this a bug? Can I recover the file somehow? The "recover" version also disappeared.

Swap

I am trying to think of hacks that would take less time than manually turning on and off layer visibility of logos and then exporting separately multiple times. The versions are SVG logos. HTML5 Canvas export so index.html file and images folder. Since I do use a publish template I was thinking about a CSS div in the publish file hat includes the images that are different by version, and then manually commenting them out and doing a save as to create the different versions. But. That is still time consuming. Is there a script that could accomplish image swaps and saves without human intervention? Has anyone ever created multiple versions from one file in Animate using javascript and then exporting as multiple versions?

Okay, technically it does... but it really bugs out when I use Wintab, which is what the first scene shows. Pressure works, drawing does not work right. When my mouse moves around (changing it to Windows ink inside Adobe which you can't see because of my recording software) and it goes back to no pressure (but works properly) it's on Windows ink.Another issue is that I'm using a Gaomon tablet, and I have Windows ink disabled there, because it just straight up stops working full stop when I have Windows ink enabled there.So I'm not even sure how it's working? Considering Adobe only works when I choose Windows ink inside Adobe's preferences > drawing > tablet input > Windows ink. But I don't want to, I want pen pressure.Pen pressure works literally everywhere else. In Gaomon's testing tab, in Fire alpaca, etc. So this is an Adobe problem? I think?? Could be an easy fix, or not, idk, I'm not tech savvy. Or adobe savvy. 💀

Hi,I finished one movie - have already published it to mp4 and it's all good. I decided I wanted to add a thumbnail for the first 30 or so frames, then have it fade to the original movie. No matter WHAT I've tried, Animate will only show the thumbnail for about 1 frame, then jump to the frame. Here's what I know:Scrubbing works perfectly Timeline looks correct Frames are extended correctly No actions are running Fade technically exists (it does fade, just too fast) Playback / export still flashes ChatGPT told me that Animate does NOT necessarily render frame 1 as a duration, so I went back and put keyframes in the first 30 frames where I wanted the static image to persist. Animate still shows frame 1 and then jumps to the frame where the fade starts. I closed and reopened Animate. I tried the "Clear Publish Cache and Test Movie". I tried moving the thumbnail layer to the top instead of the bottom. None of that has helped.  Now ChatGPT is tel

I can't find the pan behind button in adobe animate. What could I be doing wrong? 

Hi everyone, We're excited to announce a new Adobe Community experience is coming this January. A little bit about the update:The new experience will be simpler to navigate, make it easier to connect with other creatives and Adobe experts, and will give you clearer ways to share feature ideas, enhancement requests, and bug reports—with greater visibility into their status with our product teams. In the meantime: Adobe Community will remain active. Keep using it as usual—there will be no interruption in access. In fact, you’ll notice even more Adobe Experts on deck to provide faster responses before, during, and after the update. No existing content will be lost in the update. Every single post, reply, solution, feature request, and bug report you’ve made will be transferred to the new experience. You won't need to recreate anything. Existing content will reappear in two phases. When we launch the new community, all posts created on or before November 16 will be there from day one. Aft

 So the other night, I was working on my animation. The clock struck 1am and I went to bed. This morning I wake up to work on my file before and lo and behold, it is corrupted. I am a desperate animation student on a time crunch, my final is literally due tomorrow at midnight.  This is my file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1g0bXprZ6taD4MzEMKjUrIC8xSXK85cE9?usp=drive_link Work your wizarding magic o wise one. I NEED your help.

Hello, very simple issue. I have BG music playing on a scene, and I have a button that takes you to the next scene. I also have a sound stop command set to stop all the sounds in the scene. However, the next scene has new music and when I click the button that new music immediately stops too. I have tried adding more frames between the start of the scene and the start of the music but to no avail. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know. (It's probably really simple...) ((Using Adobe Animate 2025)) (((And Actionscript 3))) ((((I also submitted the swf file but idk if that's any help idk)))) CODE LISTED BELOW movieClip_5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToStopAllSounds_9); function fl_ClickToStopAllSounds_9(event:MouseEvent):void{SoundMixer.stopAll();}  movieClip_5.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToScene_4); function fl_ClickToGoToScene_4(event:MouseEvent):void{MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndPlay(1, "Stage Select");}

So I am making a sprite animation and need smooth camera movement. I'm not very experienced with easing and only select the presets. I am looking to make the camera movement smooth whenever it starts/stops moving or starting going diagonally but without affecting speed at all. Here's an example below: (0:12 - 0:37) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjvjfkgoQfc

When I add a single static gif file to Adobe Animate, it shows it on the screen, but doesn't really add it.  When I go to erase part of it, it will erase that part, but when I stop, the erased part reappears.  So there's something I must do first to make that single static gif file, an actual part of the Animate fla file? 

Hello!I have already written about my extension for Adobe Animate. This time, I recently added an automatic rigging feature and recorded a review. Watch on YouTube: Automatic Rigging in Adobe AnimateAn English audio track is available in player settings.Download .fla files from the video  There were two issues in the process that I couldn't find a solution to in the documentation. The first question:Is it possible to execute this "Fit in window" command via JSFL? I am currently using "doc.zoomFactor", but it is not universal for different monitors.  The second question: Is it possible to hide the display of bones on a layer with inverse kinematics using JSFL?P.S. In both cases, the goal is for the user to get a clean and distinct look at the final stages of the script.

I'm planning on asking for Animate and Character Animator for christmas, so I can finely bring to life an idea i've had for a long, long time called Area Town however, i was just wondering why is their no easy way to transition between the two and why don't we just get rid of character animator and put it's features in Animate? it seems simple, and for two things I plan to use and which seem obvious to pair together it just seems to not be obvious, has anyone else done this/tried this and if you have/tried, how did you do it?

Hey Everyone, So I was working on a project called Racing in Adobe Animate HTML5 Canvas, It uses javascript so I also exported the file Racing.js, however whenever I try to add it to the HTML, CSS, and JS of a site I'm working on, it doesn't work. I've tried tweaking the JS, but the site will not display the animation.I will send the portion website code where the Racing.js applies, if anybody can help I'll much appreciate it.

Hello everyone,I have been trying to fill this shape for a while now. All shapes have been joined via union, there are no gaps, and I can alter the stroke properties just fine, but I cannot change the fill. I select a color, and it resets to empty. I raise opacity to 100%, and it resets to 0%. I want full control of my stroke so I would really rather not convert stroke to fill.
