Hi all, I would like to ask you if it is possible to test only a part of animation in adobe animate. My animation has about 5 minutes and I want to test my animation for example from 4:00 to 4:30. Is something like this possible?

Thanks!

put the animations on different timelines. guideline the one you don't want to see and then publish and you can see the one animation you want and not the other.

Just throw a this.gotoAndPlay(xxxx) in the first frame?

The roundabout way is to use the loop markers from the timeline controls (Ctrl + Shift + L).

Select a range then go to File > Export > Export Movie and Save a SWF (This is mandatory since pressing Ctrl+Enter won't work).

If you go and open that SWF it will only play the range you highlighted.

A limitation with this method though is that any audio track that starts before the highlighted range won't be audible.
