Questions

Every time I try and export something it downloads my files as 0 bytes and I can't add them to the video editor I use. 

I closed Adobe Animate and accidententally pressed "No" when It asked me if I wanted to save. Is there any Possible way I can recover that file.

Hi All, Some computers on the site that I work at are getting a strange error, whenever anyone tries to export an animation as anything other than a Quicktime file they are met with the message 'Install the latest version of Adobe Media Encoder and restart animate to export using this preset'. We have attempted to update the media encoder to the latest version but this seems to have had no effect. We are using Animate 2021 due to our machines not being powerful enough to run a newer version and this was working fine for a while, however now it would seem we can only export files as .MOV and we are also getting an issue whereby if we uninstall animate 2021 and attempt to reinstall it, it will no longer install - I am half wondering as to whether this is just due to the underwhelming power of our machines but all the other Creative Cloud apps appear to be working fine, with no issues whatsoever and likewise we are still able to uninstall and reinstall the CC app. Any

Hi guys, need some help!So I created the background and character in Illustrator, and imported the file using all layers and everything came through beautifully except one small element which is kind of key. I check my Illustrator file, and it's clearly there, also isn't locked or hidden, so I have no clue why it won't come through? Help? You can see the glass in the Illustrator file, and only parts of it in the Animate file. Suggestions?

Hello! My Animate version 22.0.05 opens up but gets stuck during the loading process in the little white box with the bouncing ball in the corner. When I try clicking on anything like File or event expand or minimise or close, it doesn't let me and just does the error "ding" sound. However I do now see an error window anywhere.I trying restarting. I tried uninstalling. What else can I try?This started after my PC did an update last night. Please advice

Hi!What is the best way to deal with overlapping lineart for limbs in adobe animate? I have 2 symbols for a fore-arm and higher part of the arm but when they are overlapping, I want the fore-arm symbol's lineart to not be visible inside the higher arm. If it makes a difference, I am also using the EDAP plugin. Thanks! 

Hi, I'm a long time Flash user but haven't used it in about 5 years. I've come back to it now and so have just downloaded the latest Adobe Animate CC 2020 trial and am playing around with it. I'm loving a lot of the new features like the camera and layer depth and parenting.  BUT What's going on with stroke widths? It's a bit hard to explain so I've recorded a video: https://www.loom.com/share/526c4fc551d143bd8087bfac5d703c20 If the stroke scale is set to 'Normal', the symbol behaves, for the most part, as expected. When you zoom on the stage or camera, or scale the clip proportionally, the strokes scale proportionatlely. However, if I just want to scale an arm symbol along one axis, for example, the whole stroke scales. Doing some digging, I can see that I could set the scaling to horizontal. But then I would never be able to stretch the arm in the vertical axis without the artowk stroke width increasing. You can see the problem because it means that

Hello I hope everyone is doing fantastic 🙂 Ok so, about 2 weeks ago I switched from Adobe Flash CS6 to Adobe Animate 2024 and I have noticed a very small, yet significant inconsistency. In CS6, whenever you drew something with Object Drawing Mode on, it showed you a little preview of what the eventual object looked like in a light-blue box. However, when I do the same process in Animate, the light-blue box does not appear. This is annoying because I cannot differentiate whether I am drawing with Object Mode on, and for instance when I draw a character I am happy with, I end up realizing he is not seperated into objects, so I have to re-draw him. Is there a setting to turn on this preview or something? Thank you for any help 🙂

Even though my project is 1920 x 1080, when I export it to Video/Media, the resulting AVI doesn't fully fill that width.  Instead, there are black margins on either side of the video.  Is this an encode setting?

Hello, Can you help me please by showing me where to found and download and how to install HTML5 Canvas Audio Component Extension for adobe animate 2023? Thank  you very much!!

Hello team. I’m a professor at a medical school. Starting this fall, our school is going to employ two new programs to deliver our handouts, ScholarRx and Canvas (not to be confused with the canvas function of Animate). I would like to get my Animate HTML files to play within one of these programs. I could also use Word documents or PowerPoints. I have heard that this can be done by converting the HTMLs into something called SCORM files. Does anyone know if this is possible with the HTMLs, and if so can you direct me to online instructions for doing so? If this isn’t possible with the HTMLs, can anyone suggest another method? Thanks so much, Thatch

I'm making characters with the various graphics on layers and parented to each other.  (The thigh is connected to the body, for example.)  TWICE Animate has crashed, and when I've reloaded, every graphic is strangely positioned and rotated throughout the scene, every keyframe!  This is true for the recovery file AND my save file.  What is going on?!  The first time I scrapped the project and started over, but I'm desperately hoping there's an easy fix for this even though I'm pretty sure that the short answer is to just not support Animate and get some other software.

Hi,Been using animate for over a year now and experienced something very annoying just in time for my submission deadline...Animate seemingly crashed but refuses to close. I can't kill it in task manager, I can't uninstall the program since its still open and restarting my computer, even with my settings set not to reopen programs upon rebooting, it just opens back up again. There is an empty pop up in the middle of my screen with no writing. I can click roughly where it usually says 'Okay' on the pop up but it just pops back up again after half a second. Any help would be hugely appreciated.Thanks

Hi,If I activate Object Drawing while using the Brush, Line, Oval, or Rectangle tool, it creates a separate object as expected (I verify it by switching to the Selection Tool, clicking on the new object, and seeing its bounding box appear). However, when I do the same with the Pen tool, it doesn't create a separate object. The path just merges with the overlapping paths, as if I never would have selected Object Drawing. Am I missing something or is it a bug for this version?

I've been trying to come up with a script to accomplish this task. I've got a script that can make an circle object move to follow the cursor. I've limited the movement from left to right, which is perfect. I've got a second script that creates a box in javascript that can mask a movie in Animate. Just can figure out how to get the two scripts to cooperate. I'm sure there is some Javascript magic that I just can't figure it out. Please help.
