Publishing an HTML5 Project with Loop Timeline turned off, and with a Graphic Symbol that:- Has a same or longer length of frames as there are in the main timeline.- Has no empty frames- Is set to "Play Once"results in the Graphic disappearing after the published animation reaches its end. Workarounds so far are manually inserting a "stopping" keyframe at the end of the animation, such as:- On any layer, adding a keyframe with "this.stop()" or similar actionscript - On the Graphics layer in the main timeline, converting the final frame into a keyframe and switching the graphic to "Hold Frame" These workarounds, in my opinion, should be unnecessary considering I already have Loop Timeline turned off and the Graphic symbol set to "Play Once." Additionally, adding a "stopping" frame adds additional layers and/or keyframes, which bloats the timeline and can easily lead to errors if moving the graphic without "Edit Multiple Frames" always enabled.
Hello, Animators! Is there a way to automatically create in-betweens in Animate, if I have two or more static images as keyframes? I previously hoped to get such result in After Effects, but the community says it's nearly impossible. If it is possible in Animate, how could I achieve some tweening? This example above looks primitive, but creating in-betweens by hand is sometimes very tedious. Any tips or advice about ways to simplify the task are much appreciated. Thank you for your kind attention, understanding and help!
When creating and publishing HTML5 Canvas documents and controlling the symbols with JS the pivot point is set incorrectly in some cases. I can only get the pivot to be set correctly when converting existing shapes or images to a symbol with the registration point set to the center point initially. I can then move my object around and the child position and the pivot align as they did before in an AS3 document. However, if I set it to any other position type like top-left it will still position itself and rotate from the original center position. Then when re-positioning the contents it uses that same offset from the top-left to the center point which is incorrect. So how it ends up in the final HTML and how it appears when viewing the pivot point position within Animate are different. So it seems like it is writing some pivot information on creation but is always setting it to the center regardless of what you set the initial position to be in the symbol settings. This leads to d
I'm trying to edit a piece of a timeline in Animate. The first thing I want to do is delete the first several minutes of the timeline (all layers) how do I do in and out points (it's note I and O like every other product) Also, I want to change the color of an object throughout several sections. The problem is when I change the color, it changes back to the original color over time. I want to change it for ALL keyframes and I cannot figure out how to do that. It's possible that I'm using the wrong method to change the color (Properties>Color Effect>Tint Dave
Hello folks i have a simple interactive media and this 1120 error keeps appearing everytime theres a frame added behind it. Basically speaking the button works like charm when both stop and go to and play code applied on irst frame of timeline. But the moment i added frames behind them they immediately malfunction.

I built a basic HTML5 banner in Adobe Animate CC 2015.1 Release.NOT EDGE ANIMATE.I click Command+Enter to export files and automatically preview it in Chrome and it works flawlessly.Then I drag THE EXACT SAME HTML FILE that was just exported into THE EXACT SAME CHROME BROWSER and it will not play.Why? How am I suppose to send the banners to the client to preview if nothing works outside of the Animate CC environment.This is insanely maddening.
I used a google Web-Font in my Animate app. This added the following lines to my index.htm, which worked fine:<script> var gFontsFamilies = ["Baloo Thambi"]; </script><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Baloo+Thambi:regular&subset=latin"> Now I don't want to use the google Web-Font any more (GDPR issue) and replaced all used fonts with arial. But now the above code is still in my index.htm after publishing the Script. I could remove it manually every time I publish it - but how can I get rid of it generally? Thanks for HelpThomas
Hi, Does someone know if it is possible to get access to the brush library via jsfl ? It would be nice to be able to switch custom brush styles of multiple symbols / frames with just one script. Thanks,
here is an exampleim tryna draw gore and i want to copy the colors i used i dont want to exit and re enter the symbol 😞
Going to file a bug report- but yeah, embeded fonts are broken with 2024 and Sonoma.
Writing this out every time for the numerous click functions I have seems a bit redundant: exportRoot.TXT_add.text = "Some Value"; exportRoot.TXT_ext.text = "Another Value"; This would be tidier: ADDR = "Some Value"; EXT = "Another Value"; There must be some way to do this, but I can't find anything on the topic.This is my attempt:var ADDR = exportRoot.TXT_add.text; var EXT = exportRoot.TXT_ext.text; clear_INFO=function(){ ADDR = " "; EXT = " "; } clear_INFO(); That should clear the content of the Dynamic text objects, but it does nothing. And it also does not produce a console error, shouldn't it? Is this sort of thing simply not possible? Looking for clues, thanks.
Hello, we are using a layer exporting script in 2022 animate that we found on this forum. It's very useful for managing the nomenclature and index order of sprites drawn in animate, and generally facilitates collaboration between Animate and game development very well.However, there is a significant color quality issue when exporting because there are no Export Options when using this script. If you select Export Movie, it will give you these options. I need this Layer naming script to do this. After some research we found that it is possible and we amended the script's parameters so that it should display an export dialog that prompts you with export options now. Either the documentation that we used is out of date, or something has become obsolete. I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the details of the Export Movie function and might see what we are missing: var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM(); var lyrs = doc.getTimeline().layers; var len = lyrs.length; var lyr; var origin
Hello All, So I have been trying to get excited about this Asset Warp Tool but it keeps pixilating the assets I apply it to. At first I thought it was becuase my Document size was to small so I boosted the size up tremedously and that did actually make it...less blurry but still there was loss, less loss but. I thought it would be fine once I crunch it down and render out like say a GIF at a much smaller size. Well ...I did just that just now and the quality of the warped objects is much more pixilated then any object without and really just ..bad. As of know Im feeling like this is not a usable tool and am thinking I should have done this project in Affter Effects and try out there warp tool. Or even raster everything and use Unity as a free spine rig tool:/ Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance:) Attaching a screenshot of a part of the GIF output and what it looks like in the working file. Looks fine in the in t
The software is very slow and laggy on my new Mac M2 Pro. There's a half-second delay with my stroke and eraser, or when I rotate/drag the canvas, or redo/undo a stroke (the error "animate is processing strokes please wait" appears regularly),etc.Got the Same version on PC and never had that issue. How do I fix it?
I'm trying to achieve a couple of effects in Animate using HTML5 to create interactive aliens and random spaceships with the kids. I've pasted in what I've found so far and have tried many many times going round in circles to get these to work with no joy.Eyes Follow MouseLooking for some code to create (one or many) 'eyes' to follow the cursor around the canvas.Have searched on here for similar questions and tried some suggested solutions but not working.Also tried this tutorial that uses the following code.I'm guessing this is Actionscript that doesn't exist in HTML5 Canvas?var eyeArray:Array = [eye1, eye2]; stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, allEyesOnMe); function allEyesOnMe(event:MouseEvent):void { for(var eye:String in eyeArray { var mousediff_a:Number = mouseY - eyeArray[eye].y; var mousediff_b:Number = mouseX - eyeArray[eye].x; var radians = Math.atan2(mousediff_a,mousediff_b); var degrees = radians / (Math.PI / 180); eyeArray[eye].rotation =
Hey,I have a banner example and want to make it multilingual.I would prefer to load words from 1 external text file (language_txt.txt) for each translation.I have dynamic text fields with instance names. (Header_001, Slogan_001, Button_001)With what code do I load the variables from (language_txt.txt) ?And in which frame do I put that code in the *.fla? (970x250-multi-language-banner.fla)What code do I put in the *.text (language_txt.txt) files to link the translated words to the dynamic text fields. Goal: An explanation and tuturiol for many creative people who can't program very well 😉 ----------------------------------------------------------------this.Header_001 = new cjs.Text("Sun is shining the weather is sweet", "normal 700 44px 'Roboto'", "#FFFFFF");this.Slogan_001 = new cjs.Text("Make you want to move your dancing feet", "normal 700 28px 'Roboto'");this.Button_001 = new cjs.Text("CLICK HERE", "normal 700 28px 'Roboto'", "#FFFFFF");----------------------------
Guys I have an image which is bigger than stage, but when I play this movie in player the background image is cropped on each of sides, that is on left and right there is a gray margin around 2cm wide.Any ideas how to fix this so the background image covers entire stage?Thank you.
If this has been covered somewhere else, I apologize. Feel free to redirect me. But after not using the 3D tools in Animate for a number of years, I'm teaching a class in this again. And the 3D tools are not behaving at all how I remember them (or in any way that is useful). I've also got a video showing the glithces below. There are two. They feel related. Glitch no 1 is that when I change any 3D property, it automatically readjusts after I let go of the mouse. I tell something to be at 300 z position, it moves itself to 400+. I rotate something half way along the y axis, it over-rotates to the other side. Not only does this work very differently than in older software versions, but it makes working impossible. How can anyone plan an animation, then the program readjusts everything on you? The second glitch has to do with nested 3D animation. If there is any 3D manipulation inside a movie clip at all, the animation outside that MC gets weird. It's as if the anchor point
Animate runs pretty well and fast on M1 Macs under Rosetta 2, but will Animate be updated as a M1 native app for its 2023 release? I don't see any Animate Beta app on CC, so very curious to find out if you Adobe peeps can give us the inside scoop on the near future. Thanks!
I was working on a project in Adobe Animate and I have no idea what I might have clicked or what happened. I can't see any of my objects or symbols in the stage or offstage and none of the layers are hidden. When I download it as a .swf file I'm able to see the full animation but I can't see anything in my workspace. I know it's a long-shot to see how I can fix this with so little information, but I have provided a screenshot of my full workspace so hopefully someone can find out why this may have happened and how I can fix it. Thank you!
Hello everyone.I'm trying to find out if it's possible to create one source animated HTML5 banner in AA, which I spread to other dimensions and correctly adjust what will be needed. It's the same as Google Web Designer has it. Working in it is simple, but it has its ups and downs.For library reasons and interdependencies, I want to keep it all in the Adobe family.Thanks Adam Kubin
I recently started to use the app more, You can’t add multiple cameras or a layer on top of the camera layer 😢 they need to work on the app a bit more
basically, I rotated the torso slightly on every frame, but only the torso shows onion skin, although everything else is linked to it through armature/rigging. I need all body parts to show onion skin, please help.
Good afternoon, i would like to make a mask that is "invisible" and that cuts off a certain part of the outside of the object
Hi Guys I managed to get all my buttons work correctly. now i need some help with sound/music. I need the title music to play at the start of my project frames 1-28 where my first bit of frame by frame animation runs with it. But when I test project the animation runs ok but no music. But when i press button to go to another part of the project and return to home page the animation plays ok again and the music to but only for the duration of the short animation. I need the music the keep playing in that area 1/28 until the user press a button and move on.Help! AlanY
