Questions

Hey everyone! Not finding much online, but my Animate program does not seem to have the Gradient Transform tool.  It's not nestled in the Free Transform drop bar (there isn't a drop bar in my program) and it's not in my Tools either.  It doesn't even come up in the "Help" search engine on the interface either.   Wacky issue, any ideas?  It's CC up to date as well!  Thanks! 

I am a newbie with Animate CC, and I somehow made the "properties" section of my options disapear. I am wondering how to get it back, or completely reset all of the settings back to the default.

hi, as far as I can remember, in previous versions of Animate (or back in Flash) one could keep Object Drawing on even when using the Brush's very useful "paint behind" mode.Now I see it will only work with "paint normal" mode. I find it was much better when you could paint behind without welding shapes, as happens now when Object Drawing is not on or (as I suspect) not working. Does anyone know whether this is a bug or if it's just a new (and in my humble opinion, worst) way this feature works?thanks!

Hi, I know the bone tool in Animate is very rudimentary and hasn't undergone any substancial improvement since (I think) Flash CS4. Still, I was hoping to maybe use it for some really basic tasks, like moving the tail of a character. But I find the IK structure squeezes the shape at the bone junctures, making even such a simple animation impossible -  and as far as I've searched there doesn't seem to be any strenght control or other features to avoid this. Hoping for some ideas here 🙂

Hello,I'm working in Adobe Animate CC and I'm trying to use javascript to create an interaction where the user drags an object along the Y axis, but the object remains within a certain area, or 'bounding box'. I was able to get the object (in this case, a movie clip with the instance name "handle") to be moved up and down with the mouse using this code:this.handle.addEventListener("pressmove", fl_MouseClickHandler_2.bind(this));function fl_MouseClickHandler_2(evt){evt.currentTarget.y = evt.stageY;}I only want the object to move along the Y axis, so this worked really well. However, in my attempt to restrict how far the 'handle' will slide, I haven't been successful (I don't really know how to write code). I found a good resource here: Text Drag (StackOverflow) - JSFiddle and have tried to adapt this code to meet my needs - this is how my code turned out - var sliderBoundary = new createjs.Shape();sliderBoundary.graphics.beginStroke("#999").setStrokeStyle(2).drawRect(623, 212, 143, 282.

Hi, dear community.Today I first faced such a problem. When I create classic tween, the symbols begin shaking. I tried copying the first frame and pasting it at the end of the scene, but that doesn't help. How can I fix it?

Good afternoon, please help. I do cyclic animation with Adobe animate cc + GSAP. The first time you run the animation, it fully plays when you repeat the GSAP loop, the animation does not play.

I'm trying to export my animation to an SWF and QuickTime file but every time I get three error messages and two layers disappear in the exported file: my camera layer and a layer I used for fade in and outs. Here are the error messages:1152: A conflict exists with inherited definition flash.display:DisplayObject.name in namespace public.5000: The class 'privatePkg.___Camera___' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.5000: The class 'privatePkg.___LayerProp___' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type. My "advanced layers" is on by the way.
