Animate

Hi, I would like to draw a sine wave, bordered at the top and bottom by parallel lines, and then animate the whole thing by having the parallel lines come together and move apart (move up and down) squashing and unsquashing the sine wave.  Does anyone have any idea how I can do that?Many thanks

So i have been working on a little movie with sprites and several years ago i stopped. Ive picked it back up and somehow I made the entire stage and sprites zoom in. The frame before as well as the frame it happens both says the zoom is at 100%. Does anyone know what I did and how to get out of it? As you can see frame 10766 is normal and at 100%. In 10767 its still at 100%. So I have clearly did something that made everything zoom in. Can anyone help?

So I'm making a flash animation with 2d sprites and backgrounds for them to walk through. There is going to be 5 different fights going on and I wanted to view each fight seperately. I wanted to zoom in somehow .If one wanted to make the entire frame zoom in to view some characters up close how would one do this? I can resize layer 1 which is the background but then I have to also resize the characters themselves. Is this the only way to do it?

I'm starting a new post about this to minimize hijacking the original post where I posed the subject question. (https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/identify-an-instance-by-the-name/m-p/9319295) My question/problem:I have a series of "named" movieclips that each contain the same "unnamed" movieclip (on the second frame of the parent MC). I want to play the inner movieclip when a button (targeting the parent MC) is clicked. @JoãoCésar17023019  posted this reply:You could do something like this: function playInnerMC(e) { e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(1); e.currentTarget.children[0].gotoAndPlay(1); } this.parentMC.on("click", playInnerMC);  I think this is pointing me in the right direction, however I am getting an error in the console... Uncaught TypeError: root[root.pageInstance][root.narrationMovieInstance].children[0].gotoAndPlay is not a function root is a reference to "this" on my main timeline (var root = this;) Could the

is there a way of changing the background of the library? 

Hi.In an HTML5 canvas document, I'm trying to identify an element using the name when I click it. In AS3 the name property (evt.target.name) is the same instance name. With EaselJS seems to be different. I can use the name property for assign a name but I can't recover the name with evt.target.name. How can I do it?this.circle.name = "orange";this.circle.addEventListener("click", test.bind(this));function test(evt) {     console.log(evt.target.name); //This doesn't works. Return null.}Thanks.

Keep getting "Items not found" And before you point me to previous "solutions"-  No, my colors are all 100% alpha.   For every new crap feature Adobe pushes each release, just for the sake of saying something is "new", they break ten things.  This has to stop.  Do you have a QA department?  What the hell is going on over there?  Short on money, can't hire good people?  No, you're laughing all the way to the bank.  Get your act together.  Your products have more bugs than restaurants on Kitchen Nightmares.  You were pathetic 10 years ago.  Now you're just maliciously lazy.  You're lucky you have a monopoly stranglehold on the graphic design market, or your company would've collapsed YEARS ago.   EDIT:  So I figured out that it doesn't work because the color I'm trying to change is a TAGGED swatch.  The only way to change the color is to edit and change that tagged swatch.  But that i

I'm trying to learn how to create animations using Macromedia Flash 8 and I ran into a problem using Vcam. It turns out that when my animation is executed, the camera covers an even larger area than it should.I already set the camera's resolution to the same as the scene's, so I adjusted the size with the Shift key, but it seems like it wasn't enough. can anybody help me? Thanks!Note that in theory, that space highlighted with a red brush should not appear. And I've already tried using another Vcam, but I didn't see any progress.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get a project together for my students quickly. They are blazing through my first project. I used firefly to generate a car graphic quickly. Took it into photoshop to remove background and scale it down, then exported as png's. resolotion was 300 in photoshop. Now I import into animate cc and the imgae is blurry as heck. Here's link to the file. Can anyone tell me why? ps, the cars are small. 

Why does the Korean version have a larger attribute panel than the English version? Does Adobe not think this is strange? The English version is 23 versions and the Korean version is 24 versions capture, but it doesn't differ depending on the version. It's the same big as the previous version or the latest version. Only the Korean version. I tried to use the Korean version, but I couldn't understand this part, so I was using only the English version, but it's the same even if the version is upgraded. Does anyone know how to reduce the horizontal size of the Korean version of the property panel or any other solution? You can drag it down to reduce it, but if you reduce it, the display will be cut off. This part is also ridiculous..

"No es posible cargar la escena en memoria. Es posible que el documento esté dañado." I simply opened the file after a break and got that message with no layers, no frames and no sound, absolutely nothing. What does this message mean and why did I lose a whole day of work on this file? Is there any way to anticipate this happening in the future (other than making regular backups since I was working on this file throughout the morning and didn't have time to make any backups)? 

I'm new to Adobe animate and I'm trying to animate a .ai file by moving the anker points in a shape tween. If I cover another part of the same path, they will merge and I don't know why. Can I turn this option off somewhere? I don't want to merge them.

I used to have a Adobe Flash CS6 and animated. When Animate CC came out, I animated there. I supposed to "save as" the file. But I animated back in CS6 in the same file. Strangly, when I opened in Animate CC, the file somehow changes back to the old saved file version of animation before the final result. I couldn't open back my same old "saved" file. I urgently need an Adobe Flash CS6 or CS5 software to retrive my old file and "save as" to the new file for Animate CC. Here are my old SWF file and Animate File (but the file is big to attach, I'll show you). Even snapshots I caught evidences. PLEASE HELP ME!!!   

Hey, first time here! I just got a new XP-Pen Artist 22R Pro tablet for Christmas and have been ecstatic about using it. However, when I went to try some of the features in Adobe Animate, it simply didn't work properly. I can do most things with no issue, but whenever I try to zoom in with the left slider wheel, it won't let me, it will only zoom out. Doing other options like changing the brush size it works without trouble, making it grow bigger and smaller, but with the zooming feature, it only lets me zoom out. Then on the other wheel, it doesn't allow me to rotate the canvas.I tried doing these things in Photoshop and it worked just fine, so why is it just Animate that's giving me trouble? Animate is up to date and I can't find anything online, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've developed a feature to navigate the animation timeline in Adobe Animate by scrolling or swiping in the web browser.Please let me know what you think:https://github.com/marclubbers/AnimateScroller

I'd like to know the works made with Adobe animate.It's actually used a lot in various formats such as theater animation, TV series animation, and web animation, but Adobe doesn't tell you that at all. YouTube channels such as moho, toonboom, and blender all introduce and publicize works produced by their programs, but animate has no intention of doing so. I've been using Animate for a long time since it was Flash, but I can't mention works made of animates while explaining Adobe Animate to others as an animation production program, because I'm not sure. Can someone tell me how animate is being used in the field, and which works (many people would know) have been used recently?  

How do you convert image sequences to SWF or FLA without losing any quality?

Hi, I am recently new to Animate and am working my way through the tutorials.  The first in the sequence to include JavaScript I cannot get to work.  Its listed under the APP via "Rocket Launch - Interactive".  If anyone has built this up to completion I would appreciate being sent a copy so that I can look at the code and compare with what I have done on mine.  I bet it is simple but I am stuck. I'll attach my attempt which does not run and includes some runtime errors which don't mean anything to me.  Thanks.

How do you convert videos to SWF or FLA without losing any quality?

I've just started to use animate and I can't find any option to replace my illustrator vector layers while maintaining my animations and keyframes. Is that even possible? Something like the replace function in after effects.

Can anyone help me? I have tried everything, I'm new to Animate. I'm taking it in school. I am getting unexpected errors in Javascript using the Actions Wizard in a HTML5 canvas, 800px x 600px and I'm toltally clueless with java, I will be taking it but haven't yet. My project involves moving text, photos, buttons, labels. Are there any known issues? and Yes I checked my naming conventions. But I am still learning it. Regards, Cheryl
