Question

Certain Movie Clips / Animations not playing

Hi - Newbie here so please go easy!

 

I have created a seawave that I have turned into a Graphic & Movie Clip Symbol

I animated this using a Classic Tween and it has worked well.

 

To add to the wave effect I have reused the wave movie clip, added these to extra layers wave1, wave2, wave3.

 

When I press play only wave1 is animated - wave2 and wave3 remain static! I get the following warning:

To confuse matters, it works on my student machines (IT Teacher) but not on my Laptop or PC - may this be a hardware or install issue? Ive also tried with Edge and Chrome.

 

Really stuck!!!! Ive attached the file if anyone could please take a look?

 

Thanks

      Hi.

       

      In order for a symbol to be animated independently of its parent timeline, it must, among other things, be a Movie Clip and not have been cached.

       

      Do you mind sharing a link to your FLA so we can take a look at it?

       

      Regards,

      JC

          Thanks for the file.

           

          To apply the brightness effect that you are using on two instances, Animate creates a CreateJS color filter and also applies caching. This leads to visual differences depending on the browser.

           

          I recommend that you change the color of the waves using alpha or by duplicating each instance and changing the fill color manually.

           

          I know it's not ideal, but the HTML5 Canvas document is more restricted than the AS3 document due to browser limitations.

           

          I hope it helps.

           

          Regards,
          JC
