There is a bug where audio won't play in the timeline or library, I have the audio set to stream. I've tried everything and no matter what, it still won't play. I don't know if it's something to do with preferences or my pc but NOTHING HAS WORKED!!!! it can be played when i test the animation though i will 

So i'm trying to export a very simple movie, which is basically audio playing over a single background picture with texts appearing over the bg. Its only 148mb, and I've exported WAY bigger projects than this but this one particular file somehow seems too much for the program to handle?  This is very odd considereing the simplicity and small size of the file. I've tried restarting animate, and saving the info to another file, but nothing works. Are there any signs of corruption or anything i can look for? Again, this is a tiny project compared to most of what I've done

I'm working with Animatate.json files generated from Adobe Animate and have some questions regarding the data structure, particularly around 3D transformations.Specifically, I'm trying to understand the following:M3D (3D Matrix) values:What exactly does the M3D array represent? Is it a 4x4 transformation matrix?Is the M3D value stored in local space (relative to its parent or pivot point) or world space (global scene coordinates)? Understanding this is crucial for accurate calculations when recreating animations.How can I programmatically extract the M3D transformation for a child object from its parent's M3D or the overall Animatate.json structure?TRP (Translation, Rotation, Pivot?) values:What do the TRP values signify within the Animatate.json? Are they related to translation, rotation, and pivot points?How do TRP values interact with or relate to the M3D matrix?AN and SD:Could someone shed light on the meaning and purpose of AN and SD within the Animatate.json structure?Any insight

At a specific frame when i add a code snippet for a button to go to next frame it causes the whole project to fail when i test in browser. The whole html5 canvas website is blank and i get these errors:Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ':'rawsourcescybertronic.html:24 Uncaught ReferenceError: AdobeAn is not definedat init (rawsourcescybertronic.html:24:11)at onload (rawsourcescybertronic.html:101:44)When code is removed it works perfectly fine

I've encountered this numerous times. I would not say it is frequent in occurrence, but it is not unusual to hit it at least once a month. From what I can tell there are 2 manifestations of this.1. File is saved, when you open the file, symbols are gone. Folders exist, but the symbols are gone.2. File is saved, when you open the file, symbols exist, but are "empty". So you see many white circles in the scene where these symbols once had content.I've seen this situation arise in two cases. One when getting work from a freelancer. He could see everything, but I could not. This may be related to him using CS6 versus me using the current version of CC. The second is copying symbols. The general process is:File 1, copy Symbol HelloFile 2, in library past symbol HelloNote that Hello and all associated symbols and folders exist. Save file. Close file, open file. Then either one of the two above happens, or it is fine. Which is also key to point it. I can do the process over an over (using the

Im am doing a very big project. Im doing advanced animations and i have a movieclip navigation menu. When the user hovers the navigation there appears a memes button (its called memes in instance as well) (the main navigation movieclip where the memes is inside in has navi1 as instance name) My method was to create a classic button object and place it inside the movieclip at the frame when its hovers and then use the code snippet gotoframeandstop on the maintimeline to make it go to next frame. That method didn't work by just simply putting a button inside a movieclip. Code for the navi1let currentState = "idle"; // Can be "idle", "hovering", "hoveringOut"this.navi1.stop();this.navi1.addEventListener("mouseover", function () {if (currentState !== "hovering") {currentState = "hovering";this.navi1.gotoAndPlay("hoverIn");}}.bind(this));this.navi1.addEventListener("mouseout", function () {if (currentState !== "hoveringOut") {currentState = "hoveringOut";this.navi1.gotoAndPlay("hoverOu

I am working on a toggle system where if one toggle is selected, a series of labels will appear. All three toggles should function the same. The toggles for showing labels for muscles and nerves work, but the vessel toggle does not. Is there a way to fix this? I have double-checked for typos.   root.ToggleMuscle.on("click", function(e) { root.ListLateralPterygoid.gotoAndStop(0) root.ListBuccinator.gotoAndStop(0) if (e.currentTarget.currentFrame === 6) root.decoy.visible = false root.ListInfraorbitalNerve.visible = false root.ListLingualNerve.visible = false root.ListInferiorAlveolarNerve.visible = false root.ListSupraorbitalNerve.visible = false root.LabelSupraorbitalNerve.gotoAndStop(0) root.LabelInfraorbitalNerve.gotoAndStop(0) root.LabelLingualNerve.gotoAndStop(0) root.LabelInferiorAlveolarNerve.gotoAndStop(0) root.ButtonSupraorbitalNerve.gotoAndStop(0) root.ButtonInfraorbitalNerve.gotoAndStop(0) root.ButtonLingualNerve.gotoAndStop(

Is it possible to un-parent layers while retaining their position using JSFL?I have some projects that use classic tweened symbols with layer parenting, which I would like to bake and archive so that they can still be opened and exported using my copy of Flash CS6, without symbol offset issues.   I originally planned to bake the animations using Animate's "Convert to Frame-by-Frame Animation" right click option, so that the symbols' movements will be preserved after un-parenting them. However, this would result in countless keyframes that would manually have to be unlinked from their parent layers, unless an automated solution is possible. And from my testing, turning off "use advance layers" in the document settings does not prevent layer parented symbols from becoming offset in versions of Flash/Animate that do not support layer parenting.   That leads me to these JSFL methods which might offer a less manual way to un-parent all those baked keyframe

I can't use the newest release of Adobe Animate because of this error.Unable to multiply transform. GDI Status: ^1 Does anyone know the solution? 

Hi,I have the latest version of Adobe Animate installed and with it comes the Standalone flash player (projector player) version 35.0.0.1, i.e. this file FlashPlayer.exe which is inside the "Players" folder in the following path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Animate 2022\Players\ReleaseClearly, I am using the latest version at the time this post is written.When I open a swf file using the said projector player, I get a warning message saying "Your Adobe Flash Player version is too old, there may be security risks. It is recommended to update to the latest version."Two buttons appear below the message: "Cancel" and "Update". Clicking update takes me to this page: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life-alternative.html , a page that says "Flash player has been reitred".So what is this all about? 

 how do i tell the addchild command to look at the symbol its loading to get its coordinates for placementvs 0,0 i recall which is its default. this is the step thats causing me grief on reloading animations as right now it looks like i got a triple dymo labeler (piece name, x position y position and if i can get THAT figured out, i only one have one a to z wheel spinning in my code wheel vs 3.  the game files i'm rebuiding have a placeholder symbol swf and about 400 swfs taht the pieces are also in that placement, and my plan is to put a filename in front and store that in a variable....saving me making individual avatars, just call the color and species and its off to the races!  what i found out by frustration was copying the individual symbols to the artboard using the x y coordinates is that the master piece that they built the animations is mostly off the artboard(and were deleted afterwords).....and get that piece the slightest bit off and you get i

Hi, I've been trying to figure out why the first shot keeps exporting a grey background instead of the black it's supposed to be. I've attached both the export, what it's meant to be, as well as the file itself (only the first shot of it)  Project:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zfSaF3ocWAuEutlJGVMWscRcUIl2cZHk/view?usp=sharing 

I'm trying to make a walking down the street view that would allow me only to use one drawing of a building and repeat it. However, whenever I try to overlap the buildings on top of each other, the further one always catches up to the newest one and then overlaps. I want to determine the correct ratios to prevent the buildings from overlapping and appearing as if they are side by side with slight gaps between them. Any help would be appreciated!

Are we not using this application anymore?or the app is uhh....

I'm using Adobe Animate 2023 and i only know a bit of ActionScript 2.0 and nothing of ActionScript 3.0! I'm making a platformer game, and i need a code where i go to a frame after a frame has been sucessfully loaded. I know the ActionScript 20 Version:ifFrameLoaded(28) { gotoAndPlay(29); } What should i do?

As an professional animator i feel that Adobe should upgrade the features of animated. We their are lot of advance animation apps are available. I noticed that Our animation market is slowly shifting to that softwares. There are no advance features like moho or harmony. Adobe should thik about it.  Thanks 

Does anyone know how to remove this AnimateShim from the home screen it keeps on flickering and is kinda annoying. Also the why is the app bugging to be on top of the screen when its not supposed to be? I have to keep alt tabbing and is really sus. Thank you,

I would like to introduce an extension I made that I am using well when painting with Animate CC 😊   PAIEXT(PAI for short) was developed to reduce repetitive tasks that occur during digital painting.In addition, this extension was developed for painting with light in mind. I am currently running PAI on the site below so that anyone who wants it can use it for free. https://paiext.com   You can download this tool from the web page below. https://paiext.com/download/   Main features of this extension include:   SBA Tool  You can quickly and accurately adjust the colors of the selected shapes (Saturation, Brightness, Alpha) at once by using the intuitive arrow buttons.   https://youtu.be/frnX01fdBZ0?t=496   SA Tool  It creates a color palette that reflects the colors of the sun and sky, and the color of the surface. The color palette created with the SA Tool can be applied to a greyscale image to colorize it.   https://youtu.be/aU2z3Ad

Basically Animate won't tween this symbol and says it isn't a symbol when I'm like 90% sure it is? I can click on it to enter the symbol and this is the only layer where I get the error. I noticed the blue selection box is not aligned with the transform selection box when I select the symbol, which is unlike all other layers. So, is this telling me there's multiple objects on this layer? Is there a way to resolve this? I am new to Adobe Animate.

Title says all, my animation is 800 frames long, takes 32 seconds to load 😞 This is an HTML5 project. Ways to start playing before buffer is complete? Thanks for any help!

So im a new animator here on Adobe Animate and i have such trouble with the frame picker, i wonder if it is possible to add frames to the frame picker? If so, can anyone describe how to do it?

I have a Windows 11 and a Wacom Cintiq drawing pad. I mainly use Adobe Animate. For some reason, whenever I move my cursor into the drawing area and the timeline, my mouse gets extremely large. This is also the case when I'm using things like the brush tool, which gets annoying since the size of my cursor doesn't match the size of what I am trying to draw. I had previously used a Macbook with the same Cintiq drawing pad and it didn't have this issue.Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am working on a system with buttons that turn on labels. The buttons change color when on or off. There are also a set of toggles that hide the labels. I am trying to find a way to have the buttons change colors correctly when the toggles are used to turn them off or on.  I can make the buttons change color one way (like having them brighten when turned on), but I don't know how to get them to change back the other way (returning to their original colors). The buttons are movie clip symbols, with the different colors on different frames in the timeline. In the code, the toggles send a signal to move the button's frames to the lighter color.  What I want to do is have the toggles send one signal when pressed once, and send a different signal when pressed twice. Is there a way to do this in HTML5? I know there is a similat function when working with visible/invisible functions (```this.SymbolInstance.visible = !this.SymbolInstance.visible;```), but is ther

I don't know what happened but suddenly when I enter a symbol, everything is white behind it and I don't see the faded stage behind it like how I used to when animating symbols.How do I animate inside a symbol, where the stage is faded behind it so I can see where I'm animating?!:,( What am I not seeing here?

Hi! I hope there is someone who really knows how to help me.I have an animation that right now is six seconds long.

I'm using Animate 2024.I used Animate a few years ago and never had this issue!
