Questions

The last few versions of Animate have given me no end of trouble, especially when dealing with nested objects. (e.g. A street scene contains a car object that contains a driver object that includes a head object and some arm objects.) It’s been hard to seek help because the projects included business proprietary items for my clients, so I didn’t feel comfortable posting them. Unfortunately, whenever I created a file containing only the problematic elements, that file inevitably worked just fine. Well, I’ve finally got one I can share in the hopes of getting some useful feedback or maybe helping Adobe to fix some problems. I generally create animations in Animate (Flash), then export a MOV file and put together the final product in Premiere, combining the animation MOV, music, voice over, etc. Generally, the problem is that the object doesn’t animate in the final render. But my current project began to hang about halfway through the export process. I went throug

I cannot get  this.buttonInvis.useHandCursor = false; to work. Cursor shows as hand when testing and mousing over buttonInvis button. It's intent is to hide/not activate buttons below buttonInvis until such time as they are needed. buttonInvis is a button, not a movie clip if that matters. The simpler the better, I am not a dev. Thank you!

How do I make an object go behind one layer for x number of frames and infront of the same layer for y number of frames?

How to display a movieclip when button is clicked in animate cc (canvas html5).I hope someone can help me. thanks.

My code uses the stagemousedown and stagemousemove events along with other events such as buttons.I have code to allow createJS to handle touch events:// Enable touch events on this stage        createjs.Touch.enable(stage, false, true); // Don't let the stage to automatically prevent default touch events        stage.preventSelection = false;   //    And to prevent default events in the stagemousedown I have  event.nativeEvent.preventDefault();My problem is now any buttons have a double event, (click is fired twice when I press a button). 

I need to raise/lower mast from 0 to 90 degrees with Raise and Lower buttons using mousedown for play currentFrame and pressup for stop on currentFrame for each button to allow raise and lower from any frame with a timeline of 105 frames. The Raise button works OK with mousedown for play current frame and pressup for stop on current frame), but the lower button will not work with mousedown for play current frame -1 to reverse the timeline and lower the mast.   Any help/code example would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,  I am using the following code to set the font size according to my textfield length. I was trying to do the same with letter-spacing but with no luck.

Hello,I am trying to upload my Animate animation to the Dreamweaver website. Several things - 1) I assume an Animate drawing that has Photoshop and Illustrator components is ok? 2) is there a problem with saving multiple versions of my animate project? Animate has been acting funny - some animations won't appear in the browser when tested, some versions won't save at all, and Animate keeps publishing my versions without my telling it to do that. Not the least of which, leading the final animation into Dreamweaver has been a complete flop - both .SWF and .OAM versions of my Animate animation did not appear in Dreamwaever when uploaded. Could it be that Animate is creating faulty published materials? 3) Or, could it be that somehow I need to create playback controls for my animate document prior to publishing? If so, would someone mind telling me how to do this? Thank you very much for any support you can provide.

I was watching a tutorial from 6 years ago on shading and the guy was able to draw lines on a separate layer, then fill the selected area with the colours of shading. When I tried it the fill bucket wouldn't recognize the lines that weren't on the layer, making shading a pain in the ass. Is there any setting that allows the fill bucket to recognize lines from other layers?. the link to the video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rph6rD-aXk0 

All I want to do is edit the camera, I want it changed so i can export in a different ratio. However, there is no way to edit multiple frames when it comes to camera, which means I will have to start from scratch and waste a ton of time that could have been as simple as moving them all a little to the left.is there any way around this?

 This happens where everything turns black, a white window appears and doesn't display anything. I can click on things but there is no response. I have no choice but to force close it through task manager and somtimes it doesn't reopen recover files and I lose hours of work. This is something that happens often and I don't know the problem. 

I have two layers on my timeline. They preview just fine when I hit enter, but when I hit test I can only see one of the layers. 

Does anyone know the proper way to add a border around a white display ad? I know I could simply just add a transparent rectangle, but I wasn't sure if there was a proper way to do this. Please see attached image, thanks!

Hello, I am trying to upload my animation from Animate to my Dreamweaver website. The HTML didn't show up on the website, >SWF isn't readable on my out of date flash plawer, and now the OAM is also just appearing as a grey rectangle. When I test it on a browser, it is still just a grey rectangle. I have recreated the Animate file twice. Is there some better way to upload a file from Animate onto the Dreamweaver file?
