    I think I have the exact same problem. As soon as I try to drag any object from the library I get a red circle as a cursor. This hinders me from dropping the object to the stage or even between folders in the library. It works fine when I import images directly to the stage, but I can´t do anytning with images I have imported to the library.

     

    I have no locked layers and I have tried to start new projects with the same result.

    Reinstalling Animate do not fix the problem either.

     

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    draw something on stage

    convert it to a movieclip

    can you drag the movieclip symbol from the library to the stage?

    No, it´s the same. The red circle shows up as soon as I start to drag the object. I have attached an image of how it looks. (I added the circle after as the cursor don't show in printscreen)
