Question

I want to make an interactive animation, and I need some help.

Hello community! 

I'm trying to figure out a way to make an animation interactive using Animate CC. It's going to be story-driven, in-browser, 16:9 Full Screen (with fullscreen mode on in the browser), and has several options and timelines. I'm thinking about an 4 minute experience with at least 4 diffrent endings. 

I've tried the HTML5 Canvas, but it doesn't support Scenes, which will make the project a mess if I do it all in one timeline (with the code telling the timeline to move every time a scene ends). I also tried WebGL, but it hasn't got the window-scaling options HTML5 Canvas has under "Publish Settings".   My final resort would be Actionscript 3.0, which has all the features I want, but then my final product will need Flash to run in the browser.

What would be the best way for me to make a project of this size? 
Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend using one of the Game templates as these are already set up and designed for narrative animations that involve changing scens and including interactivity 🙂

use html5/canvas.  scenes are unnecessary: use keyframes.
