Animate

There are over 2000 songs in the remote directory.In this case, might "sound.play()" be executed first before "sort()" completes?So is there a way to prevent this?I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know the sample code. var channel: SoundChannel; var sound: Sound; var n:uint; var dm: String = "http://.../Music/"; var sm: Array = [ Music list of over 2000 songs ]; sm.sort(1); n = Math.floor(Math.random() * (sm.length-1)); musicPlay(sm[n]); function musicPlay(url: String): void { if (channel) channel.stop(); n = sm.indexOf(url); url = dm + url + ".mp3"; sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(url)); channel = new SoundChannel(); sound.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler); channel = sound.play(0); }

I've been having trouble with the 3D Transform Tool. Moving a movie clip symbol on any axis via the 3D Transform Tool appears to double what you ask for. For example, I click and drag a movie clip symbol's Y axis by 25 degrees and as soon as I let go of the mouse it will instead rotate 50 degrees. I have tried it on 2 separate computers in new files,  I did not have this issue 2 years. Could it be a bug in the 2023 and 2024 versions of Animate?

I have a Movieclip symbol for a character and within it are multiple symbols of body parts that are linked together using Layer Parenting. Please see my linked .fla here if needed. I can't seem to upload it directly to the forum for some reason.When I rotate one of the body parts such as the torso symbol using the below ActionScript 3.0 code, the torso rotates, but its linked child layers do not rotate with it.   MovieClip(root).character.torso.rotation = 45;  How can I get the linked layers to move along with the torso symbol which is being moved with ActionScript?While I know a workaround would be to place all the other body part symbols inside the "torso" symbol and then rotate it, I would still like to know if layer-parented symbols can be moved with ActionScript while moving the rest of its linked layers with it.Thank you for any input or assistance with this!

Hello all,When i open a file with a camera layer, animate trigger a yes-no prompt to activate advanced layer.How prevent this prompt ? Or is there any preferences to set to prevent or say yes by default ?Thanks!N.B: its in a command line animate instantiation: /path/to/animate fileToOpen JsflScriptToExecute 

I'm new to animate and I am trying to keyframe a simple character. However, I accidentally did something causing the departure keyframe on one layer to turn blank, Which in turn made that entire layer dissapear from the scene. I'm sure its a simple non- intuitive oversight, but Its had me stumped for the better part of an hour. 

Hi!A published html interactive I created with Animate cc in 2016 is no longer working in the server and i am trying to figure out how to restore the project and get it up and running again. Here is the link to the live version:https://storage.googleapis.com/course-assets/PANS/Mod4_1/ReviewOfPhysicalSystems.htmlI managed to track down a source project file, and open it with the latest version of Animate cc. When I try to test it from the project to the browser, I get this error message and nothing launches:WARNINGS:Frame numbers in EaselJS start at 0 instead of 1. For example, this affects gotoAndStop and gotoAndPlay calls. (254) Modifying the transform point in a tween can produce unexpected results. (18) Shadow and glow filters are very expensive effects, and not all options are supported. (3) Content with both Bitmaps and Buttons may generate local security errors in some browsers if run from the local file system.I am not sure how to make fixes with this message and could use

Hello, please help me solve this problem: how to fix this bug, like when you start playing the animation from some place, you can’t hear the sound. And when you play the animation from the beginning, the sound is played. It's completely inconvenient to do animations. HELP I BEG WITH ALL my SOUL! I use Adobe Animate CC 2023

Hello!   I am a senior in my Bachelor of Science in Digital Technology and Innovations focusing on Game Design. My professor utilized this link in their lesson this week: https://creativecloud.adobe.com/learn/animate/web/manage-workspace   I was disappointed and sad that Adobe,  a billion dollar company, did not have the ability to change the speed of the video. I have been diagnosed with ADHD and PTSD and learning poses challenges to me for a multitude of reasons and havign the option to watch an educational video at 1.5 or 2 times speed with subtitles helps me so much.. My school is in Arkansas, one of the poorest states in the United States and even our video uploaded by our professors have the ability to change the speed of the lecture. and view with subtitles    So I ask you, please make all videos on your site to have the ability to be watched at different speeds and include subtitles. It is honestly embarrassing that it is already not like

Had a student with a question. Tried to effeciently give her a way to attack a scene. I have a file quick test file, will post the link to it.Tried to have a torch with a loop, nested flame animation tweened, make a graphic symbol out of it.Then on the main time line have a bunch of instance copies of the symbolParalax the torches lined up going across the scene. What's happening is when I go back to the main timeline, and I have all the instances, I try to classic tween a paralax of the torches going across the screen and it's forcing me to create another tween symbol. Once I do that, the nested looping flame animation stops animating. Ugh, help. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xQT60v6pjNBfcLq9Uf5jWo0hxaIkDGPt/view?usp=sharing  

Hello Everyone, yesterday I was working on animation and I feel some of colors are not supporting. My question is why would some colors of an object disappear when it is converted to a symbol?Thanks

Is this possible in Animate CC? Was going through some content today from the Animators survival kit. I see that your taught to animate simplified figure and get the keys down first. Then extremes with a very simplified figure. Once it's animated, then you go back and think about clothing and everything else. How can you translate this technique to animate cc? How can you animate the scene with simplified figure for timing, and then go and attach items and cloths later? This would help my students be able to focus on a few things at a time then many. Thank animate and animation experts. 

my old computer died and i got a new computer loaded up animate and now i have this color picker I don't like. I don't see any preference to change it.I want the color picker on the left of this image where i can slide lighter and darker values.

Do any of you feel it's likely or even possible that the ActionScript 3.0 API Reference will ever go offline or cease being publically available permanently?Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3) API ReferenceIf so, do we have any archived alternatives or ways that we could back up the API Reference in the event that does happen?I ask this because I still use Actionscript within Adobe Animate for my animated videos in the same way that After Effects users use JavaScript to automate their animations. And I'm unaware of any other means of viewing the API reference should it go offline for any reason. Thank you for any input or thoughts on this matter. 

Hola, cuando quiero insertar un video mp4 en el canvas de html, la unica forma que se es insertando el componente "video", pero no logro detectar cuando el video termina... ¿como podria tener mas control sobre la reproduccion de video ??

When I use the asset warp tool on an image thats over 1500 pixels it makes me lower the pixel count, how do i override it so it doesnt change it? 

I am using canvas/javascript. I have a variable that I declared and gave a value of false on the main timeline.var end = false;I want to use this to track when a movie clip, named 'ani' that is on the main timeline, has reached its last frame. I have tried multiple methods and none are working. On the last frame of 'ani' I have tried...this.parent.end = true; andexportRoot.end = true; Neither worked.If I do 'console.log' from within 'ani' it prints 'true'. But if I do 'console.log' from the main timeline it prints 'false'. What am I doing wrong?

Hola, estoy haciendo un archivo html5 canvas y cuando pruebo la publicacion, en la consola del navegador me da el siguiente mensaje:createjs.min.js:13 Canvas2D: Multiple readback operations using getImageData are faster with the willReadFrequently attribute set to true. See: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/canvas.html#concept-canvas-will-read-frequentlyEl tema es que en mi código jamas usé getImageData... ¿cual puede ser el problema ?

I've checked some of the threads on resource management tools, but can't seem to find anyone with version 23.0 experiencing this problem, so posting a new thread to find an answer. I use the Asset Warp Tool to animate some graphics. I create three keyframes, animate a twisting loop (usually modifying the middle keyframe), and save it as a graphic element. But when I use the Quick Copy function to copy a new graphic element, I find that the Resource Morphing Tool animation in the new graphic element gets corrupted. See Figure 1, even the original graphic will be destroyed and the first frame will simply disappear.

I have created a 5420x3345 image for a book cover, using Animate. I need to produce it in PDF format, but I can't export at at all. 

After moving my .fla files to an USB drive most of said .fla's no longer open on my PC. I get the message 'An error occurred opening file...' when trying to open them using Animate 2023. Some details:I can open the files normally when using Adobe Animate 2021 and 2022 (but not 2023)I can work with 21 and 22 but those versions are very unstable for me, crashing every ~30 minutes or so, I'd prefer using ver. 2023 if possible..fla's that are downloaded from third sources ALSO get me this error. I downloaded custom sprites from a website and every single .fla received the same message, 'An error occured opening file...' upon opening.I've tried:Reinstalling Animate (didn't fix)Trying to repair .fla's with Winrar (Winrar refuses to open the rar/zip file, stating it's either corrupted or an unknown format - didn't fix)Any possible fix besides clean OS reinstall? I'm simply stumped.

Bonjour, depuis la version 2024 d'Illustrator, les objets que je copie-colle vers Animate se transforment automatiquement en clip, ce que je ne souhaite pas (je souhaite avoir des objets de dessin). Cela m'oblige à utiliser Illustrator 2023. J'ai regardé tous les paramètres et les préférences mais je n'ai rien trouvé. Aussi, je n'ai rien trouvé sur le net à ce propos. Avez-vous une idée ?

I've uploaded my Animate HTML5 with javascript included to my website, and linked the image texture file to Google Drive. The animation is playing but only one of the layers are showing. Everything works when tested in Adobe. I've attached a link to jsfiddle to deminstrate. https://jsfiddle.net/lhovden/ofk9znjv/1/# 

sorry its so laggy but you get the idea

How would I create this animation something like cloth goes infront than behind in animate?

When I try to select a color from the art on the layer, the eyedropper picks it up as transparent. When I try to use the bucket tool on it, it doesn't work. Yes, I'm on the correct layer. I've never encountered an issue like this and it's really getting to me. The frame is set as an object layer.
