    Hi.

     

    Unfortunately canvas text are not selectable by default. This is not a limitation for Adobe Animate only.

     

    The workarounds are:

    - Use the a Label component or a TextInput component under Window > Components > User Interface;

    - Create HTML DOM text elements editing the main .html file generated on the output;

    - Create HTML DOM text elements using JavaScript;

    - Use JavaScript to code a custom selection feature. It's an advanced approach, but certainly it's not impossible.

     

    Please let us know if you have any further questions.

     

    Regards,

    JC
