Help Export HTML5 canvas banner 2025
Adobe Animate Version 24.0.12
Can I get some updated help on exporting HTML5 canvas banners from Animate? I keep getting blank page when publishing.
Here is an HTML template that Gemini AI helped me write that doesn't work. I do have the
createjs.min.js file and image folder all in the recommended folder structure. Curious if anyone is using Animate for display banners successfully. Our team has not used Adobe Animate since 2020-2021. Any advice is appreciated.
