Cannot install HTML5 Canvas Audio Component Extension!

Please can someone tell me if the HTML5 Canvas Audio Component is compatible with Animate 19.2.1.

I have tried all sorts of ways to try and install it:

- Directly from extensions web site

- Manually using Anastasiy Extension Manager application

- Manually using ZXPInstaller application

- Manually using ExManCmd command line manager

Nothing seems to work.

The zxp file seems to be more than a renamed .zip file so I can extract it manually.

If someone can please help with any information on compatibility and any other methods I could use to install the extension.

Thank you.

Hi mate,

 

From what I see, it puts just this folder called "audio" in HTML5Components in Config.

 

So I repackaged for you and here is a ZIP with the folder and files:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IxZVxLsSGaCHjh96P_63ewwX3y5wgpwC/view?usp=sharing

Unzip and put the folder called "audio" inside your HTML5Components in Config

 

You should do this while Animate is closed.

Find your Config folder:

on Win:

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration

on Mac:

HD\Users\YourUserName\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Animate CC YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration
 
Then find HTML5Components and put the 'audio' inside.
 
Start Animate (19.2.1).
Create a HTML5/Canvas file.
Open Components.
 
Hope this helps!

Hi I added audio component. I have Autoplay problem. I ticked autoplay but sound didnot autoplay. I uncheck autoplay but sound did not autoplay.

I try to change in js code(components.js).

I changed " {"name": "PROP_AUTOPLAY", "variable": "autoplay", "type": "Boolean", "default": "true"}," 

but not working. 

Please help how can ı autoplay sound.

Also, when adding the component, if you cannot see the component properties directly in the properties menu, you can find it from the picture I have specified below. I hope you have experienced this problem will help you. Maybe someone can help me with my problem.

Hmmm - it should work with 2018, 2019, and 2020... I'm the author so am worried if it isn't working for some people!

It was the installation of the extension that I had trouble with.

On various attempts,depending on what method I tried, it was saying things like:

Invalid license

Unable to connect

Not compatable with software version

 

Some of which were as Error Code references.

 

I'm behind a company firewall, so I don't know if that was mucking things up.

It seemed to be trying to validate licensing during the installation, via various web-site interactions.

Anyway, extracting the unencrypted version above to the correct location seems to install correctly.

Hmmm - that may be why. I believe it is encrypted via the Adobe system. Thank you!
