Questions

I am trying to add the fast forward and fast rewind playback controls to my video object so that when the user presses the button, the movie will ffwd/frwd. Im using a video object so the movie is streamed using the NetStream and NetConnection values and the flv is loaded from an external source. I have managed to get the pause and play functions working using the following actionscript: var playButton:Button; var pauseButton:Button; myNS.play("movie.flv"); myNS.pause(true); //Plays movie playButton.OnPress = function() { myNS.pause = (false); } //pauses movie pauseButton.OnPress = function() { myNS.pause = (true); } ...but im not sure of the AS to use for making functional fast rewind and fast forward buttons . Can anyone help?

I'm new to adobe animate, and started using it only yesterday. I finished a lines animation, and was extra careful with closing the lines I had drawn to make sure they would be successfully filled with the paint bucket tool later on. Now when i'm trying to close them, the paint bucket tool fills the entire space no matter what frame i am on. I tried looking around abit, and found that selecting 'expand to fill' on a layer fixed the problem, and that it was now filling the lines perfectly. Only problem is, it deseletcs after every fill i do. I figured that i must be doing something wrong, because it seems very inefficient to have to reselect it after every click. Please help!

Hi - i need to hire a remote tutor who can walk me thru my photo website conversions from Flash to Animate for universal access via phones & tablets as well as computers. Have numerous bitmap heavy sites & we would convert one that is representative so i can learn the basic coding required. Tutor needs to be familiar with early versions of Flash as sites have not been updated for over a dozen years. Last version of Flash used for output was CS5 but coding was for much earlier versions of player. The test site to be used will be http://subuh.com because of vector animation which is in Flash 4 with music track in JS MIDI that needs embedding as mp3 that is common to all other sites. Visit http://cherpitel.com for range of sites, only viewable on computers with Flash enabled browser. Contact Simón Cherpitel to discuss payment terms. etc. Quote will be needed to acquire funding. 707 694 2493 or s@cherpitel.com -- thank you 🙂

Adobe animate is one of the worst animation tools i've used.  Harmony Toon Boom has a bit of a learning curve but is capable of handling WAY more. before adobe blames my computer, my computer can handle logic pro x, harmony, and photoshop all simultaneously.  32gb Ram brand new Mac.  not my computers fault. Adobe Animate crashes, runs slowly, stutters and is overal an absolute waste of time and money.  ESPECIALLY for students.  Same goes for Premier as well.  I allocate all my ram to Premier and the thing can barely handle a minute of video. once again the computer is brand new with 32gbs of ram.   it's pathetic, make the switch and be smart with your money. stop giving it to Adobe until they figure out how to be great again.  

Hey, I know this sounds Annoying due to flash being discontinued and practically dead, we might remake it in unity or something along the lines of that, We are inspired by moviestarplanet.com, clubpenguin, etc. We're looking for something in the middle, for our more modern generation, for example msp used to have a YouTube chat room, we could have a tiktok chat room with predictive text in messages etc, obviously completely different but just an inspiration from msp itself,the team we have so far is me and another member, he specialises in the programming scene, we will need designers, composers, animators, illustrators and more programmers. We are unable to pay yet but once we start out and have the base idea of the project done and in beta for our developers etc to use then we can start paying, we honestly just need anyone in our team that can help and we can be the next thing! I myself only have experience in C#, Html, PHP, CSS, MySQL a tiny bit and a very basic beginner i

I accidentally upgrade Animate to the latest version and its generated js code no longer works with our current codebase. Is there anyway I can can roll back to Animate 20.0.2 from Creative Cloud? Thanks

I am trying to put my animation in dreamweaver but it seems as though each time i am trying to play the animation it will not play and is just showing a blank square. I have published it and everything but it will not load. If someone could help me please that would be amazing.

I have been trying to load the camera in Animate 2020, in the tool menu I get (!) and am not able to load it to the time line.

Hi everyone! I just installed Adobe Animate 2021 a few days back. But today, for the first time since the update, the app immediately crashes whenever I try to open it. I have restarted my computer, tried to uninstall and re-install Animate, and followed some solutions for the same issue with Animate 2017 (posted on Adobe's website). Yet, nothing seems to keep the app from crashing. Has anyone else had this issue, and know how to solve it? Thank you!

So I'm going to keep this short and sweet. So recently Animate won't let me draw a small circle unless I zoom in and draw a big one, then zoom back out. Even this way, my circles are never actually circular, the top part is flat and the bottom is circular. Like a hemisphere. Please help as soon as possible. Thanks!

Hi,everything's in the title.Two computers (W10 with the  last version of animate and W8.1 with animate CC 2018) but the same problem : the windows stay desperatly empty.thanks for your help

Sorry for posting a similar question twice but I just can't get an answer and I want to make it simple. 1. I make a new HTML5 canvas project 2. I put one button and add a down state that changes its color3. I test the project on any browser with a mouse and it works - the button is of different color when it is pressed4. I test on mobile and it works just as it works on 3.5. I test on a windows device connected to a touchscreen and the down state doesn't work. Why? 6. It does work on firefox if I specifically enable 'dom.w3c_touch_events.legacy_apis.enabled' and set 'dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled' to 1. 

This is a problem in the latest version of 20.5v of Animate CC. PC specificationsCPU- i7-8700 3.2GHzGPU- RTX 208016GB RAM When I copy and paste a symbol or object, a lag occurs. From the previous version, there was a loading time when copying and pasting symbols with many original frames, but there was no loading when copying and pasting regular objects.However, in the latest version, when I copy and paste a light symbol or a single object, a lag occurs. After testing, the more objects in a project, the longer the loading time when trying to paste.When copying a simple image using Alt, I have to wait too long for loading. This is very inefficient. The video below is a video recording the experiment of copying and pasting group objects, drawing objects, and symbol objects in various situations. Copy/duplicate drawing/object/symbol,Frame/layer copy or duplicate, moveThey all have the same loading time. One peculiarity is that when I click on the object

When rotating an object in a motion Tween, I found that if you rotate an object more than 180 degrees from the original orientation, it would rotate in the other direction all the way around to continue the rotation.How would I fix this? Would it be fixed by adjusting  a setting or tool, using a different tool to rotate and move, or can I not fix it entirely? Extra info:version 19.2.1Adobe Animate (An)

In previous conversations kglad mentioned that mobile apps are available that allow continued use of Adobe Animate after browsers discontinue support of the Flash Player in just 25 days.  I just spent an hour searching for them without success.  I must confess I have little experience with these types of apps.  So I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions. 1.)  How can I find one of these apps?2.)  Will these apps allow SWF files to play?3.)  Will these apps allow Adobe Animate files to play on a desktop computer, or will they only work with mobile devices such as cell phones or tablets?4.)  Will an app be needed to play SWFs if I have Creative Cloud, and with it Adobe Animate, installed on my laptop?5.)  Will an app allow SWFs to play on devices without Creative Cloud or Adobe Animate?6.)  Is there a charge for these apps? I need to explain why I ask the last three questions.  I'm a professor at a medical school.  I'

I know this works with actionscript but does this work with html5 canvas? I cant find any audio options in the html5 code fragment section

I created a layer mask using a rectangle symbol to hide the elements in the masked layer underneath. I made the rectangle just 20 px wide so that it doesn't cover the elements and the elements don't show up by default. My plan is to click a button on the web page to make the rectangle symbol 120 px wide so that it covers the elements and display them. I wrote the following code...var _this = this; _this.button1.on('click', function(){ /* button1 is a button symbol instance on stage)*/ _this.rectangle1.width = 120; /* rectangle1 is a rectangle graphic symbol instance on the layer mask)*/ });unfortunately, the elements didn't show up! Is my code wrong? Or the objects used as a mask can't be modified this way by an event handler after the HTML5Canvas got published? If I can modify any instance by button click action, why can't I do that to an instance located on a mask layer? Is it a bug or limitation? I have seen people using movieclips as a mask for a dynamic tween effect and it did i

Hello. I'm creating a couple gifs for my employer. One thing is of course filesize, so I'd like to try export the animation as a gif with fewer images but keep the overall duration.Can I do that without having to move all keyframes manually? Like, if I want to have the same animation with half the number of frames, is there a better way but half the framerate and move each keyframe manually to a new position?Thank you

Hi, I have this annoying issue where my linkage URL for runtime sharing stays blank even after entering a valid URL in it. I have file_export.fla containing a movie clip mc_test that is exported for runtime sharing with URL file_export.gfx (we use scaleform so SWFs are converted to GFX files at runtime).Then in file_inport.fla, I have the same mc_test that I create from scratch, check the "import for runtime sharing" option and set the same "file_export.gfx" URL. But after confirming and reopening the property window for that clip, the URL becomes empty again. This works fine in many other circumstances but somehow in some cases it fails and I can't figure out why. If I set any other URL that the "file_export.gfx", it works fine but somehow that particular one causes issues. I even made a small JSFL script to see if the issue wasn't just in the animate UI : run();function run(){var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();var selectedItems = doc.library.getSelectedItems(

hi guys i am wondering how to animate a a symbol, like earth planet running around the sun while its turning on itself¸please?   

In order for my web pages to work properly, I need the spritesheet names to be consistent. I notice that the 2020 version of Adobe Animate always renames sprite sheets with an extra number one "suchnsuch_atlas_1.png" instead of "suchnsuch_atlas_.png". I made sure that there's no other file with the same name. This is preventing my web pages from loading properly. I don't have this issue when I export the exact same file in Animate 2019. 

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help me with a problem I'm having.  For some reason, out of nowhere, my brush strokes and shapes are all muted and sort of transparent.  The alpha is set to 100%.  I just started last night, on an animation I've been working on for weeks.  If I create a new document, the colors are fine.  It's just in this one document.  Unfortunately, I can't scrap it and start over, I'm in a time crunch.  Any ideas? I'm kind of freaking out, lol.
