Hello, I'm having a problem with Adobe Animate. The application keeps closing on its own from one moment to the next when using width profiles 4 and 5 of the brush tool, and this has become annoying, as it doesn't allow me to create animations correctly. I have uninstalled the application, logged out of Creative Cloud, and restarted my Mac several times, but still nothing works. I use a Macbook 14 pro M3pro and a wacom to illustrate and animate. This started to happen after my mac's last update, but the other apps work really well. This is what appears when the app unexpectedly closes after using the width profiles of the brush tool. It says that an error has been found and asks to restart the app, but even though it restarts, the problem continues to occur. 

Hello! 🙏 I’m really interested in creating drag and drop functionality on Adobe Animate HTML5 Canvas and would appreciate some guidance from those with more experience. I’m still a beginner and have tried several times, but I’m struggling to even get the basic object dragging to work. &#x1f605 If anyone has any tips or advice, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

I imported a puppet created on Photoshop to adobe animate. I'm trying to animate this puppet. In photoshop the character had many layers and it showed up in ai but it was disorganized. So I coverted each part into sybomls, named them and click on the "distribute to layers" but I don't see the layers I named.  Please help.

Hello, I've been having difficulty editing my keyboard shortcuts. Long story short Adobe Animate won't let me just type in the new ones I need (Ctrl++) for the zooming option and I can't copy and paste it in either. My drawing tablet is almost unbearable to use if I can't fix and change this one thing as I'm new to the program. I'm sorry if the question is silly but if anyone could explain how to fix this it would be much appreciated. 

Hi All,Thanks for reading this! Am going crazy trying to figure it out.When running my zipped HTML5 file through the HTML5 Validator, it keeps coming up with "Missing primary asset check".I've read through many other discussions and googled the hell out of it but no solution has worked so far.(I solved a few other errors I had this way)I've screenshot the code below, and if anyone has a solution, I'd be forever grateful.

I have yet to find a solution for my animate problems, so I'm turning to this forum for help! Animate has steadily been crashing more frequently on my computer over the past month. Today I noticed that when I use the keyboard shortcut "z" for zoom and go to touch the screen to zoom, Animate crashes. This has just happened twice in a row. My file is pretty small--10.3 MB. I have encountered a similar crashing problem on a different, larger file (395.2 MB) and chalked the problem up to the file size. Not sure if anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows any solution.

 I use an RTX 3070ti graphics card in my computer, and it has 64G of memory. However, Animate always occupies a very high amount of memory. I don't know where the problem lies. Some possible issues:I'm using skeletal animations. Many characters may share the same body or eyes, which causes the reference count of many elements to reach thousands. Is this not a good practice?

As shown in the picture, the correct result should be that the element pasted into animate is a group, not a movie clip wrapped with a mask.I have no problem operating the same file on my own computer, but my friend encountered the problem shown in the picture.Whether it is imported into ai or directly copied and pasted, it will appear in animate as a symbol. The symbol needs to be broken up into each element, which is annoying.I did a simple test and found that it has nothing to do with the software version.

I am trying to paint bucket on a blank canvas and its not working, its on colour black and on full opaque

I'm converting a program from AS3 to JavaScript and I'm running into a problem. I have a movieclip with 3 different frames, each playing a different animation. I want to switch from one animation state to another like it does in AS3. When I first play the clip, I use: myMC.on('tick',function(){ this.gotoAndStop(0);} ); and it plays the animation in the first frame perfectly. However, when I use the same code to switch to another frame, such as: myMC.on('tick',function(){ this.gotoAndStop(1);} ); The animation clip doesn't play - the movie clip stays on the first frame. It's as if the act of switching to one of the other nested movieclips breaks the animation playback. Any ideas? 

So, I made a animation of a stick figure climbing a ladder. And I converted it to a symbol so I didn't have to remake the frames each time. I had the symbol go a total of 5 times, it only messed up on the last 3 symbols, I DID classic tween the last 2 symbols but I don't understand why the first symbol would be impacted. Is there a way to fix this? Also please ignore the people in the back, even though I'm in class my teacher is just not helping me so I'm asking here.

Bonjour,Dans le cadre d'une animation simple de personnage avec lips inc, j'ai 4 calques : un avec la tête convertie en symbole graphique, l'autre avec la bouche convertie en symbole graphique également, un avec le corps et le dernier avec l'audio.Quand je sélectionne tout mon personnage pour déplacer l'ensemble ou le redimensionner, tout se déplace ou se redimensionne sauf la bouche.Sauriez-vous d'où vient le problème s'il vous plait ?Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.

Why when I leave the symbol for example when I click the up arrow button it moves faster but then when I'm inside the symbol it move slower than avarage.

I'm teaching Adobe Animate in high school.  I have started the students on the ball bounce and the dancing flames tutorials, but not really sure which ones to cover next.  Is there a comprehensive list of the tutorials out there that is ideal for learning?  Like building on concepts from previous tutorials and keep "leveling up" as they go along.Sincerely & highest regards,A scatteredbrained teacher that wants to be efficient & effective teaching Animate

I've searched  the forums for an answer but can't find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to convert some AS3 code to javaScript and I can't figure out the syntax for the left and right cursor keys. This is what I've got in AS3:   function keyDownFunction(event : KeyboardEvent) : void{if (event.keyCode == 39){walkerSpeed = walkerSpeed+1;}if (event.keyCode == 37){walkerSpeed = walkerSpeed-1;}}

When I try to export an FLA, Media Encoder doesn't generate the video and the MP4 doesnt't end up getting created.

I apologize if this is an obvious solution, I am very new at Animate and would appreciate help.I have a symbol that is just a simple rectangle, however it is tilted, so the box around the rectangle symbol is not lined up with the actual rectangle. I want to make the rectangle shorter and fatter so that it lines up with the one below it, but when I try to edit the size it skews it.Is there a way to change the actual dimensions of a shape within a symbol? or do I have to just make sure the shape is parallel with the stage before I make it into a symbol? Thank you!

I can't figure out why but I can't paste a copied motion onto a new motion. Both layers are motion tweens but after I copy the motion from one and go to paste it on the blank motion tween, it doesn't let me. The paste motion option is greyed out. Neither layers are locked so I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong. The things on both layers are movieclip symbols as they're meant to be.Any help would be great, thank you.

Hi all, I'm working on a project in Animate with one numeric variable, a lose condition based on this variable, and a reset button. The project consists of a main timeline with 3 states (Main menu, Game, Game over). The numeric variable increases by one when a specific button is pressed within the game. When this variable reaches 4, the player is directed to the Game over frame and is presented with a reset button. The reset button takes the player back to the main menu, after which they can play the game again. The problem is, whenever the player re-enters the game, the previous numeric variable is still stored; When clicking the button that increases the numeric variable, two values are returned: 2 (which is expected) and 5 (lose condition +1). When iterating again, three values are returned, etc. I have tried creating an if-else statement that should only declare the variable if it does not yet exist, but it always declares a new variable. My guess is that i

Is it possible to edit these envelopes using JSFL? 

So my program keeps unexpectedly quitting amid any work that I try to do in Animate. It was when I started to use a gradient fill in a separate animate doc and worsened over time. I thought my computer needed an update when it crashed the first time but then it did it again so I updated all the CCsuite apps to 2024 versions, which did do something enough to allow me to begin auto-save. Only bothered to download Animate at this point. After that, the whole app kept crashing repeatedly and constantly. Moving to a new doc to see if it was just 1 file the process repeated, now when using any tool except for the brush tool.I have Uninstalled and reinstalled CC cloud suite, and Animate 2xreset my preferencesRemoved my preferences folderUsed the CC cleaner tooleven checked for MalwareAll of course after restarting my computer and saving my work. As well as checking auto-recovery will be on, every 5-10 minutes.When it all stops it will eventually open the error report window and ask to re

Everytime I use the brush in Animate or Illustrator (2025) It askes me if it can get permission to screenrecord and record audio so i always click "refuse" it will still happen so I have to go to settings to turn it off everytime.

Thank you for reading feel free to ask further questions.

Hey everyone,I'm looking for some help with AI-powered coding assistance in Adobe Animate. Has anyone used Codeium (or any other similar tool) to get support with coding tasks, such as auto-completion or codesuggestions? I'd love to hear if there are any existing solutions that can help me streamline my workflow and improve my productivity.Thanks in advance for your input!
