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.

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.

Questions

Animate CC

Why dos Animate keep crashing on export? Why won't after defects accept swf files like it used to? What does Adobe do all day, try to ruin the software that it sells? Aren't there any alternatives to Adobe products? Every tiime I turn around something more has changed foor the worst.  The software says that it can't read files that it created ten minutes earlier. It has wasted a week's work. Again.

Questions

What about open API for "External Importer" ?

A little background: I once asked a question about 9Slice support in FCM publisher in CPSDK. After I didn't get any responses and saw total silence from Adobe I went to do Reverse Engineering, for scientific purposes of course. And i found one thing to get structure with data i need, this issue is solved.Also along the way I found a lot of interesting things for me. Now I want to try to ask about the "CExternalImporter" or the short name "MFI".As far as I understand this interface is similar to FCM but for importing files.Right now Adobe Animate only uses this interface to import PSD and SVG files.My question is does this import interface have a chance to be open API like CPSDK?And I personally think that it would be great if such a bunch of APIs for import and export would be released together, but we got the opposite, which for me is a little illogical.And to be honest, I don't have much desire to make a custom .fla file reader/writer for which I haven't seen the documentation a

Why There Is not a Opacity Controller due to Pen Pressure?

OMG guys! In Photoshop, I can control my brush opacity with pen pressure. Buuut in Animate I cannot do that basic thing. WHY? I think it is a big joke. I can control the size but I cannot control the opacity. I searched a lot. REALLY SEARCHED A LOT!! And are you guys really serious? I am predicting it should take TWO LINES OF CODE. You did with the size, now do it with the opacity. It is REALLY ANNOYING!! I think some developer needs to this. I mean REALLY, YOU GUYS DID NOT ADD THAT TO ANIMATE, REALLY???

【Help】Cannot Trigger Animation After Placing Component in Designated Area

The following image shows the interactive device I am trying to create:Below the speaker is a designated area for electrical connection, and to the right are three current components labeled 【ball_1】, 【ball_2】, and 【ball_3】.

Animate file seemingly disappears, even after saving

So, I've been working on a project, and I've noticed, doesn't matter if I saved the file or not, some animate files seem to disappear off the face of my computer whenever I close the program. This has given me large amounts of anxiety when it comes to my large project, as I don't want my computer to reset, close the program and erase my file.I work in MacOS Big Sur, and I keep all my animate files in a dedicated folder.
