CreateJS and more code snippets

Hi All,

had a fantastic response on my first question so thought I'd try again.

I have had an introductory look at the createjs website and noted they had tutorials etc.

The code is is scripted to run in a HTML file. Is it just a matter of stripping some of the code at the beginning and end to make it appropriate for inclusion in Animate? If so are there guidelines as to what code would need to be stripped?

thanks for helping a newbie.

George.

Following the CreateJS tutorials is harder than you might think. The CreateJS team themselves don't use Animate, they are creating a library for all users, not just us. So, their examples have to include some lines of code that Animate would do for you. In the best case you could use their code and the lines that are not needed won't do any harm. In other cases it could cause confusing results.

If you want to pick an example tutorial I can say which of the lines are ones you won't need to use.

Hi Joseph,

yes that's helpful indeed. Is there any sort of preview of the type of JS scripts in the book you co-authored? Mainly interested in timeline control, using sounds and videos. I work as an educational multimedia designer so mostly providing content interactively.

The book by Myra does look interesting. Just wondering re the javascript content and release date.

thanks for your help,

George.

Yeah, there is audio and video with JS... we might have even gone a little overboard with the video code :/

I will say that some of the stuff I've done for Lynda and Pluralsight probably have more JS than in any of the books I've ben involved with though - since these video courses can be more focused and books tend to be giant all-encompassing things.

The Animate CC blog has a number of JS articles on it as well:

Thanks Colin for the prompt and insightful reply,

I'll probably take you up on your offer.

Is there any other resource online or perhaps in book form that would more easily equip me for "javascript" in animate coding?

There are a number of books on Adobe Animate, but I'm not sure which of them covers HTML5 Canvas the most. I will ask a couple of the authors to pop by and give an opinion.

Here's an Amazon search:
