Questions

I try to import an illustrator file to animate and keep getting an error that says "The import did not finish because an unknown error occurred". All of my apps are up to date and I'm on Catalina. 

I am looking for a way to get the canvas to scale before it is fully loaded.I made a game and it works perfect. The problem is that it takes about 4 seconds to load, and in the mobile version that implies that it first shows the original size and only once it is loaded does it scale and reduce to the width of the device. As it is on a responsive website, all content is flipped to accommodate the new canvas size and is not a good user experience.Any help or suggestion will be welcome! Regards

I use Animate 2019 to create a website, publishing the files in HTML5 canvas and js. I develop on an iMac and when displayed with Safari it looks perfect. However, when displayed in Chrome or Edge on a Windows machine or an iMac some of the text is "shifted" slightly, not a lot but enough to be noticable. Turns out it is only text that I created as "dynamic" text and not "static" text. Static text remains where it should. I assume the slight "shifting" of the dynamic text is just something I will have to accept unless anyone has other thoughts. Thanks for any feedback.

I have 5 videos that play on my timeline.  Each video has a separate audio track on a separate layer. (Forgive me, I'm still used to AS2 and this is how my brain works).  The audios are in the library.  I want 5 buttons to appear on the stage that will toggle each audio on or off.  So perhaps I will have 2 playing, 5 playing 1 playing 0 playing.  Can anyone help with the code for this?  The audios are called  Clip1Audio, Clip2Audio, etc.  

I am a bit of a noob regarding Animate, but I am trying to learn. I made this animation and wanted to export it, however the export file differs quite a bit from the preview. As I hope you can see in this image, in my canvas there is a bunch of arrows that flow from the positive to the negative, however once I preview the movie (and the same goes for any other format I exported it to), as you can see, it only displays a fraction of the arrows, as if it is somehow ignoring the other layers during export.   Any Ideas on what causes it and how it could be solved?Thanks in advance!

This is a problem in the latest version of 20.5v of Animate CC. 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. I don't know why this suddenly happened,We hope that optimization will be done as soon as possible.

Frame by frame animation is pretty standard for animation. There should be a way to import 100's to 1000's of SVG files into sequential keyframes, right? I tried the "place on seperate keyframes" but it puts it all in layer 1, keyframe 1 😕😕

I need help for a Project, I want to make a button when pressed will go to another frame example it's at frame 20 and when pressed goes straight to frame 21 but if it's not pressed it keeps looping example once it gets to frame 20 it goes back to frame 10 and keeps repeating until pressed.

When I use the eraser tool and swipe over any line or brush stroke (no matter what eraser setting) there is a huge delay before it updates on screen and I see the line dissapear. I've tried a number of things online like changing to hardware acceleration to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I don't know if it would have anything to do with it but Im also using a Huion Tablet (Q20M). My computer is very good so I can't see it being hardware related. 

how to import sound for lips sync in Animate 2018 cc

Hi all.I am building a eLearning Player in Adobe CC, similar to one i have in Flash AS3. The player is where you can control the application, with function like play, pause, mute sound, goto next lesson, and so on. There is also a menu where you can launch the lessons you want to do.So basically i have several layers of Adobe CC canvas in the same HTML page. The bottom canvas is the player, the midle one is the lessons and the top one is the help movie.All works fine, and i can replace the midle canvas with the lessons i want. but i have a problem. After loading and removing several canvas, the animations start to get slow. The more canvas i load the more slow it gets. I remove the canvas from the DOM as well as the associated objects, and variables, but the browser keeps eating memory and geting slower all the time.Anyone with a sililar problem found a solution for this?Thanx.

Good morning, I want to know how I can make an animated button that allows me to open an excel file IN ANIMATE CC, the file is located locally in a domain or on a hard disk. WHAT WOULD BE THE CODE TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS ACTION

Hello! I am making a short interactive animation using Adobe Animate's HTML5 canvas and javascript. The goal was to make a functioning title, menu, and character select screen for an ideal fighting game. The problem is I can't get the character select menu to function like I want it to. The idea is that, when the character select screen opens up and the menu screen leaves via a sliding tween I made, the user will click on a character's icon. When they do, an image of that character will appear on the left side of the screen within a light blue rectangle shape, a sound effect will play, and a voice line will play. I have been using the Windows > Actions panel to accomplish this. For example, there is a button symbol called "WonderWoman_btn" that is placed where her icon is on the character select screen. There is also a graphic symbol for a light blue panel on the screen where a character's image will appear after being chosen, named "player1_L". This graphic symbol has two

hallo, ich benutze animate canvas.ich habe mehrere symbole übereinander liegen.wenn ich eins der symbole anclicke soll es immer über den anderen symbolen liegen.dies möchte ich über ein script erledigen. dank vorab.

I'm having lag and memory issues with the latest versions of Animate, so tried to use my 2015 version of Flash as it has been so dependable (and the newer brush is so laggy). But now I can't open it? Our team is working on updating assets for our online game so I kinda need 2015 to work again. I have been a paying Flash customer for a while now and would really appreciate it if I could just get a 2015 version of Flash to work again.

Hi, I'm having a bit of an issue how the "Classic" Brush appears to work in the latest versions.Until I finish a stroke, the brush on stage is greyed out, covered by a pattern as if selected. They grey overlay disappears when I finish the stroke and the stroke "renders". I'm guessing it's supposed to show the brush as incomplete before smoothing is added but the issue remains even is smoothing is set to 0. I have never seen brush being greyed out before smoothing in earlier versions and find it a major annoyance. Is there a way to turn it off? What's interesting the greying out doesn't show while using the Fluid Brush, I do however want to be able to use the classic brush without impairments as well. Found the issue in an earlier post here:https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate/when-using-the-brush-tool-in-animate-cc-it-is-greyed-out-and-has-horizontal-lines-how-do-i-fix-it/td-p/8955317?page=1The solution didn't work for me.

Hi everyone,I am slowly going from Flash/as3 to Canvas/Javascript and I have a newbie problem with dynamic texts.I have a dynamic text on the stage instanced as T_Counter and I simply want to change its text property.I tried the basic :this.T_Counter.text = "This is a test"; and nothing showsI tried with a variable :var ceTexte = "This is a text";this.T_Counter.text = ceTexte; and nothing showsIt's a bit frustrating to be unable to perform such a basic task !Thanks in advance for any hint !

Publish to EXE and APP by using AIRSDK then sharing to other computer makes the file useless/currupt and can't be run normally. Has anyone encounter this? Here is a link to a sample EXE and APP file I published. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x079qpo2j42x4kc/Archive.zip?dl=0 edit: here is the fla file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngjqap8nhc8qdxu/Untitled-2.fla?dl=0

Hello, guys!I would like to know is there any way to detect click outside an object in Animate CC?There is no problem to use it inside HTML DOM, I understand how to do that with parent node, but in CANVAS - no ideas (except lower layer with 1% transparency). So, any ideas how to use JS for solving the problem:1. Window is open.2. Outside click closes the Window. Thank you!

While Publish the FLA to HTML\JS only background color is visible in HTML. Please refer the attached file and share the solution,  

After around 2 hours of using animate, the canvas turns black, and every panel I hover on turns black as well. Then if I try to click on anything, I get a blank pop up window. If I press enter, the blank pop up disappears and reappears. The only way to close to the software is with the task manager. I already tried resetting the preferences, graphic card drivers are up to date, formatted windows and reinstalled the software.
