Is there a way to adjust line height in adobe animate?

Hello, I am animating some ad creatives from Figma. The ad creatives have a specific line height; however, I don't seem to see how I can adjust this setting in Adobe Animate. Is there a way to do this, or should I just export my text as an SVG? Thank you very much in advance!

Why is line height so different

I need to recreate ad creatives from Figma in Adobe Animate. However, when I apply the values from Figma to Animate, the line height appears much larger than intended. Why is this happening, and how can I make the line height align with what I have in Figma? Thank you in advance!

Wheres the deco tool?

Hello! After buying Animate CC, I discovered on Youtube that there was something called the Deco Tool that you could use to create smoke animations (among other animation presets). This was perfect, as I needed some smoke in the animation I was making. So I look around in the Tools section and notice that the Deco Tool isn't there. So what's happening?

The Adobe Animate classroom in a book on warped assets - its not working

In the snake charmer exercise, you're supposed to click the"musical notation bitmap. The bimap becomes a warped asset and a mesh is superiposed on it.Notice that there are additional control points on the four corner points..."No matter how many times I try it, there are no control points on the corners, but instead a red and green joint. If I try to delete the joint, it deletes the mesh as well. Help

Can't Draw with Touchscreen!

Hello,This is my first time on the Adobe Forums so I apologize if this is in the wrong place. I am using Adobe Flash CS3 and want to start to learn how to animate. Drawing with a mouse (or trackpad) is horrible so I wanted to use my laptops touchscreen. But I found out that I can only draw if the sliders on the right and bottom are locked, if I'm zoomed in too much it just pans the screen. So to actually draw with my touchscreen, I have to click 'Fit in Window' in the top right, which is annoying because its really zoomed out. I want to be able to 'lock' the screen when zoomed in so I can't pan, but have found no option in the program so far. I know a touchscreen isn't the best tool for animating in the long run, but I just want test the program out before buying a wacom. My laptop is the Asus VivoBook Flip (not sure what exact model). I am running Windows 10 Home version 1803.

Vector object drawn in animate fuzzy on publish

Drew triangle, saved as symbol. Multiple occurrences, tweens, tints, motion. When publish as HTML, it renders pixelated (even though vector!) triangles. (Full published animation here: https://financialmarketingsolutions.com/tmp/2023/13390/300x250/)HOWEVER, if I export as animated gif, renders perfectly:  NOTE: Have also disabled Preferences > Drawing > 'Auto convert vector to bitmap for better warping and tweening'.

Black border after gif exporting

I have a question concerning animate cc. I have made an animation on white background. When I export it as gif everything is ok. If i use the camera and export the gif it creates a black outline around the gif. Is it a bug or there is something which i can do to avoid the black outline?  I attach a still frame of the gif loaded on safari. Thank you for your time and help.

What's the best way to create an extension for Adobe Animate in 2023?

Hello everyone, I have experience with python scripting in blender and appscript in google sheets. I'd like to create extensions for Adobe Animate to help my teammates with naming and file import/export tools to prevent human error when they try to follow naming conventions, and to support batch processing for multiple or nested symbols. However, from what I've researched, there seem to be a number of different ways to create extensions for Adobe animate, or major changes, and the website organization of them is confusing to me. What is the best way to create an extension for adobe animate as of 2023? It would be great if you could introduce me to important terms and concepts, and tell me what web pages to visit.

Parts of layer grayed out in timeline

Beginner's question: Segments of one of my layers are greyed out.  The layer is invisible wherever these darker frames appear.  I can't work out how to reenable them.   Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Lip Sync becomes unsync'd

This is recently happened. Has anyone experienced lip sync becoming slightly off after exporting as H.264 video? In the beginning of the scene, it's dead-on. by the end, it's slightly off, but noticeable.

Multiple Image components in one scene, is it possible to set a separate div for each other?

Javascript / Canvas HTML5As in the question, I'm having trouble setting the "image" components in the scene. I have set the following changes in the html output file: </head> <body onload="init();" style="margin:0px;"> <div id="animation_container" style="background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00); width:1280px; height:720px"> <canvas id="canvas" width="1280" height="720" style="position: absolute; display: none; background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00);"></canvas> <div id="dom_overlay_container" style="pointer-events:none; overflow:hidden; width:1280px; height:720px; position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; display: none; z-index: -1;"> </div> </div> <div id='_preload_div_' style='position:absolute; top:0; left:0; display: inline-block; height:720px; width: 1280px; text-align: center;'> <span style='display: inline-block; height: 100%; vertical-align: middle;'></span> &lt

Can't Select a Layer by Name in JSFL

I'm stuck with trying to select a layer by name.I must be missing something super basic but I can't figure it out.var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM(); var timeline = dom.getTimeline(); var targetLayer = timeline.findLayerIndex('Keys') if (targetLayer !== undefined) { fl.trace(targetLayer) timeline.currentLayer = targetLayer;} // If the target layer is not found, create a new layer and select it else { timeline.addNewLayer('Keys');} The fl.trace(targetLayer) returns a number (7), but the selected layer doesn't change. I also tried setSelectedLayers with the same result.timeline.setSelectedLayers(targetLayer); If I put a plain number in place of targetLayer it selects that layer no problem. Is this a bug or is there a work around?

Current version of Animate doesn't work at all.

Current version of Animate doesn't work at all. Support person tried to change absolutely everything about the computer, which did nothing. Animate just crashes when making a new document. It absolutely does not work. Nobody would give this software a chance. It doesn't have issues. It 100% doesn't work. Support just leads to a huge waste of time and no solution.

Error using bitmaps in build 103

When using build 103, I get this error when placing a bitmap on the stage and view the webpage (on a server). Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getNumFrames').I reverted to build 70 and it worked without errors. The only thing that changed was the IDE. I used the Web low template and and imported a small bitmap and placed on the stage. I published and viewed on a server. I tried both hosted and local files.

How can you publish an AAB file in Adobe AIR for Android or convert APK to AAB?

I want to upload my APK file to Google Play Console.I can't do this because I need an AAB file. When I use Android Studio, it only exports a signed APK but not an AAB. How can I fix this in ways like publishing to AAB or converting?

Is there a jsfl on/off command for the auto keyframe feature?

I need to call the automatic keyframe function with some commands. Its shortcut key is Alt+k. I want to get this command and add it to my jsfl, but I checked the latest manual, and there is no introduction to it?Just like a camera, there will be a jsfl command to turn it on and off。Turn on the automatic keyframe function, there is no trace in the history,
