Nothing productive to add here, besides I'm also getting the same issue. Tabbing to any window resets the orientation and moves you to a random point of the screen. If you open any dialog window while the canvas is rotated the issue happens. This can be another photoshop file or just any window like the colour picker or such. It only started when I upgraded to 24.5 I'm running Windows 11 here, I've tried uninstalling everything creative cloud related and deleting the adobe folder. Same issue persists on a reload.

That's another extremely useful bit of information there on that link. Thanks for that. I've been really struggling to find anything at all.

That wouldn't make any discernable difference though would it? All that does is make _this slightly different to read? As far as i can see, variables seem to be local to that frame.

Thank you for the extremely helpful replies! It is starting to make some sense. I've used actionscript for years, so getting my head around the differences here is taking some time. I understand that things might not be ready straight away but I would have expected there to be some kind of on load type action or callback. With that 0 ms timer in place, that seems to get some things working. but not others. For example, on frame 2 I want the animation to sit there, and make a movie clip stop on a random frame. So, after that 0 second timer, I ask this to happen: // This is inside the function that gets called after the timer. _this.movieClipIWantToStop.stop(); // Does nothing _this.movieClipIWantToStop.gotoAndStop('A1'); // Also does nothing // This now works A1 is set up as a label and it works. _this.buttons.button1.on('click', function(){ _this.movieClipIWantToStop.gotoAndStop('A1'); }); However, changing the timer to 20 ms makes it work. So I'm guessing this is a similar thing, in that the object just isn't ready to get told to stop? but after a bit of time it is?

Thanks! Is that the recommended way of doing things in Adobe Animate? It seems like a bit of a bodge!

Hi, and apologies if this is an easy question. I've been trying various things all day to no avail. if I create an movie clip in canvas mode in Animate, and name it "Object1", and then inside that, make another movie clip named "Object2", I seem to be unable to access "Object2" at the start of a frame. For example, see the following code: var _this = this; console.log(_this.object1); // Prints an actual object to the console log. You can even see Object 2 inside there with values. console.log(_this.object1.object2); // Undefined. However, if I add it a on click function, as shown below, it works. _this.on('click', function() { console.log(_this.object1); // Prints object 1 as above. console.log(_this.object1.object2); // print object 2. }); Does anyone know why it does this, and how I'm meant to get around it? It's basic functionality that I've been used to in flash, but I'm not sure how it works in animate. I figure it's a timing thing? perhaps object 2 isn't ready on time? But I can't find any documentation on this at all. Thanks
