Animate

Is Adobe actually having a laugh at us?

Just... watch this: and tell me Adobe aren't serious with this? How many iterations of the software, now? When does anyone think they might start putting some, I dunno, research and development into their broken, glitchy, incompatible and obsolete software? They should be paying us to test their patheticly managed "apps".

HTML5 ad

I have succesfully built an A HTML5 ad in Animate, everything functions as it should. When I come to add ZIP the file and upload it. It tells me: that the content width is 320 and height is 480, but the fla file and the html file both say 300 x 250 having gone through the doc I don't understand or can't see why it would be throwing this error message up In the HTML5 code I have specified the size inside the <head> tag and the click tag outside the </head> tag.Anyone able to offer any insight?

Java Virtual Machine ran out of memory

Hello, I'm facing an issue with exporting a project (15,990 frames). There is an error message that basically says that the "Java Virtual Machine (for ActionScript)" ran out of memory. The error message is linked below.(I don't seem to be able to open the file in editor like it says)  Now, I've looked in my files and haven't been able to find this jvm.ini file, so please don't tell me to go there as I have already tried- I need to find out how to get there. I've installed Java V.8 and the Java SE Development Kit 24.0.2 but haven't been able to do anything with it. How do I fix the issue and access the file? ALSO, would more RAM help? Please let me know if you need any more info. Thank you.

Mp4 file bug...

Hey, there. I was able to export my animation to an mp4 video (finally), but the new video has errors. Characters are above the "ground" and the camera tool sometimes doesn't work. I checked the animate file and everything seems ok there. What should I do?

Click Tag Button - External URL link not working

Hi All,I'm new to Animate, but I built my HTML5 ad which I want to add to the Google Display Network.The ad works just as I want it, however, I can't get the ClickTag to work.I've made the Click Tag the top layer, made a rectangle the full size of the ad and convereted it to a symbol, cut it from frame 1 and added it to the hit frame.On Frame 1 in the Click Tag layer I have added the following script to the 1st frame: clickBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {window.open(window.clickTag, "https://aistudio.je/work/");}); I have a script layer at the bottom of the layers with the following script:var _this = this;// Stops timeline on X loop or return to startif (!this.looped) this.looped = 1;if (this.looped++ == 3) this.stop();else _this.gotoAndPlay('start'); The ad works as I want it but I cannot get this to work when you click on the ad to take you to the URL destination specified.

Google fonts display with unpredictable style

I have dynamic text instances arranged on the stage of my html5 canvas document.  Some of them are headings, so they are displayed in bold style.  Each is followed (below it) by one or more separate dynamic text instances that contain a paragraph in regular style.  This is all rather trivial, and displays perfectly when using Verdana system font, but after I switched to Google fonts I am getting unpredictable styling: Now, some of the heading instances display in regular style, despite being indicated in Properties as Open Sans Bold.  And some of instances intended as regular paragraph text display in bold, depsite being given the Properties of Open Sans Regular. Under the assumption that the affected text instances somehow had gotten "corrupted", I tried duplicating instances that displayed correctly, and replacing the text.  This worked only up to a point - suddenly after I had fixed most of the problem instances, some of them reverted back to displaying

URGENT!!! - Audio sounds awful after being put through media encoder

URGENT!!! - I'm working on an animation, and there's very good audio quality when I'm editing and am playing it in Adobe Animate. However, once I put it through Media Encoder, it has this weird reverb-type effect, and it sounds really fuzzy. My sync is set to stream, and I've looked through other posts to see if they can help. Most say to adjust the settings by clicking File and going to Publish Settings, but I can't seem to find a way to change the sound settings. I think it might be because I have a different version, but I need some way to aid with this in the version I currently have. I have to get this done before August 25, please help.

Animate shuts down when selecting line width.

As the title says. The program shuts down as soon as I touch the width menu.

Java Flight Recorder - Adobe Animate

Hi Adobe CommunityQuick question regarding the usage/licensing of the Java Flight Recorder with Adobe Animate. Are there any licensing usage rights to be considered for using the JFR installation through Adobe Animate?I assume the usage rights through Oracle apply: Free usage only in Development use - so usage in production environments do need an Oracle Java SE subscription to be purchased through Oracle - is that correct?Is there any kind of document/statement from Adobe clarifying the usage rights of Oracle products as part of the Adobe Animate installation?Thank you in advance

Pen lag, jagged strokes, and display issues in Adobe Animate on macOS

Hi everyone, I’m a professional 2D animator and I’ve been using Adobe Animate since it was Flash, over 13 years now. I currently work on a MacBook with the M4 chip, and I’m using a Wacom Cintiq 16 (2025) connected via a single USB-C cable. I’m facing a serious issue that’s making it hard to work: the brush stroke in Animate has heavy delay, feels imprecise, and often appears jagged or broken. I recorded a video showing the problem: the line flickers, lags behind the pen, and Animate feels totally unresponsive while drawing. On top of that, if I enable “Scale to fit Wacom Cintiq 16” from the macOS display settings, the whole interface becomes huge, the pen calibration goes off, and it’s basically unusable. This only happens in Animate. In Photoshop and other drawing apps everything works perfectly. So it’s not a hardware failure, but likely something going wrong in how Animate handles the signal over USB-C. These are the tablets I’ve tested personally:Intuos S Pro (USB and Bluetooth)Wac

Audio not playing at all in the Timeline

Hello, I have been trying to solve this problem for weeks at this point with no avail.I'm running the latest version of Adobe Animate, '(Animate 24.0.4)', updated a few hours ago.Here's the steps I've been taking to import and use my audio files.1.  File > Import > Import to Library. I've tried multiple .wav and mp3 files, all producing similar results.2. When in the library, I drag said file into the stage, and add frames for the audio to play in the timeline.3. Press play. No matter it starts from the first frame, scrubbing, or in different parts of the project, nothing plays. I've also tried changing between Event and Stream multiple times.Also a note below.- In other Adobe windows, such as Test Movie, Export, and testing audio files in their Properties, all those audios seem to work fine. The issue seems to lie in the actual Animate window itself.

Movieclip wont do roll out animation properly

Im making a movieclip as a navigation button on my html5 canvas. I want a simple roll in and roll out animation. What i noticed is the animation wont roll out from the button. I have asked chatgpt everything how to make only a specific area of a movieclip interact nothing works. Also the movieclip is glitchy sometimes even when the mouse is completely out from the movieclip it still holds on hover. I have tried so many codes and everything. How can i make it work smoothly and make several buttons in the same movieclip do the same roll in roll out animation you see in the video i attached.This is the code for me movieclip right now: let currentState = "idle"; // Can be "idle", "hovering", "hoveringOut"this.navi1.stop();this.navi1.addEventListener("mouseover", function () {if (currentState !== "hovering") {currentState = "hovering";this.navi1.gotoAndPlay("hoverIn");}}.bind(this));this.navi1.addEventListener("mouseout", function () {if (currentState !== "hoveringOut") {currentState =

Animate getting stuck at 78% while exporting media

So i'm trying to export a very simple movie, which is basically audio playing over a single background picture with texts appearing over the bg. Its only 148mb, and I've exported WAY bigger projects than this but this one particular file somehow seems too much for the program to handle?  This is very odd considereing the simplicity and small size of the file. I've tried restarting animate, and saving the info to another file, but nothing works. Are there any signs of corruption or anything i can look for? Again, this is a tiny project compared to most of what I've done

Unpacking Animatate.json: M3D, TRP, AN, SD Values & Child Transformations

I'm working with Animatate.json files generated from Adobe Animate and have some questions regarding the data structure, particularly around 3D transformations.Specifically, I'm trying to understand the following:M3D (3D Matrix) values:What exactly does the M3D array represent? Is it a 4x4 transformation matrix?Is the M3D value stored in local space (relative to its parent or pivot point) or world space (global scene coordinates)? Understanding this is crucial for accurate calculations when recreating animations.How can I programmatically extract the M3D transformation for a child object from its parent's M3D or the overall Animatate.json structure?TRP (Translation, Rotation, Pivot?) values:What do the TRP values signify within the Animatate.json? Are they related to translation, rotation, and pivot points?How do TRP values interact with or relate to the M3D matrix?AN and SD:Could someone shed light on the meaning and purpose of AN and SD within the Animatate.json structure?Any insight

Empty symbols or missing symbols after saving

I've encountered this numerous times. I would not say it is frequent in occurrence, but it is not unusual to hit it at least once a month. From what I can tell there are 2 manifestations of this.1. File is saved, when you open the file, symbols are gone. Folders exist, but the symbols are gone.2. File is saved, when you open the file, symbols exist, but are "empty". So you see many white circles in the scene where these symbols once had content.I've seen this situation arise in two cases. One when getting work from a freelancer. He could see everything, but I could not. This may be related to him using CS6 versus me using the current version of CC. The second is copying symbols. The general process is:File 1, copy Symbol HelloFile 2, in library past symbol HelloNote that Hello and all associated symbols and folders exist. Save file. Close file, open file. Then either one of the two above happens, or it is fine. Which is also key to point it. I can do the process over an over (using the

I want a button inside a movieclip move to next frame on the maintimeline

Im am doing a very big project. Im doing advanced animations and i have a movieclip navigation menu. When the user hovers the navigation there appears a memes button (its called memes in instance as well) (the main navigation movieclip where the memes is inside in has navi1 as instance name) My method was to create a classic button object and place it inside the movieclip at the frame when its hovers and then use the code snippet gotoframeandstop on the maintimeline to make it go to next frame. That method didn't work by just simply putting a button inside a movieclip. Code for the navi1let currentState = "idle"; // Can be "idle", "hovering", "hoveringOut"this.navi1.stop();this.navi1.addEventListener("mouseover", function () {if (currentState !== "hovering") {currentState = "hovering";this.navi1.gotoAndPlay("hoverIn");}}.bind(this));this.navi1.addEventListener("mouseout", function () {if (currentState !== "hoveringOut") {currentState = "hoveringOut";this.navi1.gotoAndPlay("hoverOu

Unparent Layers With JSFL?

Is it possible to un-parent layers while retaining their position using JSFL?I have some projects that use classic tweened symbols with layer parenting, which I would like to bake and archive so that they can still be opened and exported using my copy of Flash CS6, without symbol offset issues.   I originally planned to bake the animations using Animate's "Convert to Frame-by-Frame Animation" right click option, so that the symbols' movements will be preserved after un-parenting them. However, this would result in countless keyframes that would manually have to be unlinked from their parent layers, unless an automated solution is possible. And from my testing, turning off "use advance layers" in the document settings does not prevent layer parented symbols from becoming offset in versions of Flash/Animate that do not support layer parenting.   That leads me to these JSFL methods which might offer a less manual way to un-parent all those baked keyframe
