Hello, good peoples.

So I migrate from flash CS6 to adobe animate CC 2018. When I try to modify a graphic to match the backtround I encounter a problem. All background objects are disappear just like open a symbol from library in CS6, all white. Can I change that?

It's really, really annoying to dive in and back to main scene over and over again just to check if my character arm is touching the object like table and other stuff.

Or do you have any tricks? Except put all my animation into 1 scene. The layers will be awfuly mess.

That's a known problem that the Animate team are trying to fix. Hopefully they will fix it for the next update, whenever that is.

In addition to Colin's answer, edit in place mode doesn't work when Advanced Layers are turned on. Turn off Advanced Layers for Edit in place to work. I realize that may not be an option. We all agree that this is a major workflow feature that needs to be fixed and the team is fixing it for a near-future release.
