Animate

Hello, I am still learning Adobe Animate... I was able to find this code to put a video component behind objects on the scene: var dom_container = document.getElementById("dom_overlay_container");dom_container.style.zIndex=-1; I have two additional videos that will be displayed in a pop-up that I need over the objects. Is this possible to do?  See screenshots for image reference.

Is there a way to change the line design so it looks like this? its not smooth it has the funny design to it. idk how to say it. and i wanted to ask if there is a way to import like custom strokes to flash 8. To the line tool

Get a load of this: Anyone else having this issue? How do you get it to stop?Since I can't link to the video placed on my own server (...which would be a Valid Video URL), I had to put it on YouTube for the whole world to see. 

Or was it just a one time purchase?

I made the mistake of working on a much larger stage than I needed so when I publish the animation, there's a ton of blank space around my animation. I attempted to resize the stage and move my content, but this ruins my motion tweens and messes up the whole animation. Is there a way I can resize the stage centered on my animation or is there a way to move my animation and not ruin my objects/motions in the process? Thank you!

I've been working on an animation on a school computer when I tried opening another adobe animate file on top of the file I was currently working on. The file I opened closed out of my work and I've lost almost all of it. The only file I saved to my desktop was the work I did yesterday. It seems like I lost all the work I've done today. The thing that confused me is I have auto save on and it autosaved multiple times well I was working. I'm on a school computer so I have limited accsess to files. I really don't want to have to re-do 2 hours of animation. I'm new to adobe animate I've been looking to see if theres a way to access auto saved items somehow. Please help!

Hello !One of my collaborators has a problem:When she moves something drawn on Animate with the directional arrows: a quarter of the time Animate starts to navigate in the top menu.Do you have the same problem, a tip about it?We are using last version, Cintiq 22, Window 10. Thanks a lot 😁!Jérémie

I'm working on an animation and I noticed when trying to export it (regardless of scene length, or even moving frames) I get a blank error upon the media encoder popping up. No exported file appears, just the blank error. I've tried resetting prefrences, running older versions of both the encoder and animate, but no luck. I've tried to export in quicktime and that sort of worked (horribly choppy quality) and I would prefer to export it in a usable format. I've exported stuff successfully years ago but this is a different computer, with different windows, and different versions of adobe programs. Any help would be appriciated, Thanks!

is there a bigger video version of the Help -> hands-on tutorials? I would like pupils to be able to watch the step by step guide for the bouncing ball on a bigger screen outside Animate.... if they need to.  I cannot find any.

Hello, Whenever I open Animate and try to open the hands-on tutorials I get this error saying it is not available at this moment. I have already updated, reinstalled and tried another version but it does not work.Specs:WIN10 x64Animate v21.0.06Adobe Creative Cloud V5.4.5.550

my animate cc is hanging too much..... click response is very slow.... mooving of cursure and object not in same timing...... how will i complete my project..... please fix  this issue

Hi!I need to be able to export a swf from a singular symbol in a document with many other symbols in it. I used to be able to do this in Animate 2018, but I am unable to find a way to do it in 2024 so far. I can export a swf but it exports everything in the document rather than just the symbol I have open. I was hoping that I could just licence Animate 2018 and use that, but it looks like Adobe no longer allows you to licence outdated software. Is there any way to get around this?Failing that, is there a way to just export swfs from symbols in Animate 2024? So for example if I had a file that had 10 symbols in it on a layer, and I opened one symbol and exported a swf movie from inside that symbol, it would export that one symbol and not the other 9? Thanks for your help, I hope that makes sense!

Hello Adobe, I’m experiencing a problem with the window > Extensions > Hands-on Tutorial window in Animate v23.0.5. When I select the aforementioned link, the extensions window fails to appear. Interestingly, this issue is not present in other versions of Animate. I’ve attachedscreenshots for your review. Additionally, even when I attempt to add a custom workspace, the panel remains invisible for this particular version. Could you kindly assist me in resolving this issue? Thank you.  https://app.screencast.com/0pVipXZXjMtAC?conversation=FqccL9PnKfk3AOXy320Pcd

I have a student trying to export their animation to an MP4 file. After Media Encoder exports it, the student tries to find the MP4 file in the output location they chose, but it cannot be found. We tried exporting it again, but it still does not appear, only the original .fla file is there. 

So I'm having an issue where I make a shape tween, it works, and when I test the scene everything is OK but when I exit Animate and go back in the shape tweens are gone and I have to put them in all over again. Could anyone help me figure out how to fix this please and thank you.

Yeah, so I figured out a work around for this, but it took over 37 tries and I'm still not quite satisfied. This is the scene:I have a horse, connected to a carriage. Because it's connected to a carriage I need 2 of them. They need the horse clomp sounds to time with the carriage+ equipment. I spent several weeks on this. TT I bought some coconuts for the horse clomping sounds, looked up horses walking ADRed it. So originally, I animated the horse first, then the horse harness equipment to time to the horse, then duplicated the horse to attach to the carriage.Fine. I timed the horse clomping sound to the horse's hooves.This was fine in full animation size. However, the issue is this:I resized the horse and carriage on the main scene and the horse clomping sound would not stop, and presisted after the frames had ended on the main scene. Welcome to my piece of hell.The reason I timed the horse clomping to the horse and as one can imagine when a horse is resized, the might

I assume there's a button I need to check or box I need to click, but I can't see my work on animate.  I have attached a video to show what I mean.  In the video I make a rectangle and a line nothing happens.  I press the brush tool and I see my work.  I can use the brush tool as expected but then I try to change fill color again nothing happens unless I hit brush tool.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w4c-Btdhxom9TgkWLuVj_mpcIvgujprk/view?usp=sharing

I make application in Adobe Animate CC 2021 and publish for Android. When I open my application,I see "White Stage" in display. How I can remove "White Stage" in my application? 

I've been working in Adobe Animate for a while now and have always been able to publish and open the created HTML file immediately into my default browser with the shortcut key command + return. Upon updating my Mac to Sonoma, animate no longer opens the HTML file in my browser. I now have to go to the file in Finder and manually open it. I can not find the setting that allows me to change this within Adobe Animate. Is there a setting I can change this on or is there another possible issue?

Hi, is it possible to create an HTML banner in Adobe Animate that is 100% responsive. So not only keeping the ratio by window size but setting all elements in a percentage ratio?So that the height of the banner is detached from the width.

this video mentioned that you can download a old version of macromedia flash for free that is LEGAL. I wanted to make sure because I know that pirated versions of software are a big problem and I wanted to make sure that this was approved by adobe (since they bought out macromedia). In the video he states that its legal but I want to make sure adobe knows about this. it seemed like it might be legal since its outdated but it is still owned by adobe and I didn't see anything so far saying that it was approved by adobe. here is the link to the video HOW TO DOWNLOAD FLASH FOR FREE! (100% SAFE) - YouTube . thank you for reading and please respond soonPS: I am sorry if someone already asked this and I'm repeating it. I am new to the forums and couldn't find anything.

Hello I need to export an entire sequence of animation, as opposed to indivdiual symbols, made in Adobe Animate 2024 in a spritesheet format so that each frame can be played back using Canvas API. ChatAPI suggets using Generate Sprite Sheet located in the Command menu as shown in the attachment below, but there's no such menu item so far as I'm aware.  I am aware there is Generate Style Sheet plugin for Photoshop. However, I'd rather directly export a whole sequence in this fashion straight from Animate. If anyone knows any effective ways of achieving the objective, please let me know. Thanks for reading!

So, I often create items from other places... say a Map of Europe from Wikipedia... Or I import items from illustrator to animate into Animate.Every time I copy-paste from a different program it renames the layer to: "FlashAICB"This creates issues because if I have a long animation, then I am not sure which layer is what. It keeps overwriting the layer name. Sometimes I type the name prior to pasting, and then it deletes it. If I'm animating... say a series of backgrounds, pasting a new background is locical, but I don't want to have to ename the freaking layer 20 times for 20 backgrounds away from the nondescript "FlashAICB" when I've already named it "Background" and the file has a name.Is there a way to prevent Animate from renaming the layer?  To demonstrate the issue:New Document: Layer 1 is named: Layer_1Illustrator import star: The layer is renamed "FlashAICB"OK... Rename layer again... Renamed Layer: "Star" Import new object (yes, I do get you can copy object on stage

Hi! I've been working on an interactive character animation for a school project and have been having some issues with it. I'm very new to Animate and was originally working with an HTML5 canvas. I was having issuses with some of my animations and music not playing, so my professor suggested I convert it to an ActrionScript3 file. That fixed those issues, but presented many more as I have to recode all of my animation. The animation is a basic dress up game where the player can press start, click on an area to reveal a piece of clothing, click on the clothing to put it on the character, and then click a button that restarts the animation. I've been working with simple timeline animation, calling frames and frame labels to jump around, however when using code snippets to re-code my buttons I got an error saying, "1120: Acess of undefined property clothesRVL." My animation was working fine before I added an action to clothesRVL, and I suspect it's not working because I called a fram

I am currently animating an HTML banner that uses a blur filter on some elements. After exporting the HTML data everything works except that no blur effect is visible.Is this a bug or is it not possible per se?
