issues with vector assets

Dear Community, I am writing on behalf of my son because I have no idea about adobe animate myself. I would appreciate any information, and tips that could help him. These are his problems/questions:

After solving a problem with making vector assets (it was converted to a bitmap straight away by default), here are the problems I've encountered:
-Everything gets converted into a drawing object, which downside is that instead of perfectly fitting, the coloured regions sometimes have blank spaces around them
-When I add a new handle or move one that exists, sometimes random drawing objects (which previously were coloured regions) from the asset disappear for no reason
-Transparency is acting weird in the new assets, sometimes the alpha channel is multiplied by two when creating the asset, and then it doesn't change anymore when the asset is already created

-You can't edit the stuff in the asset once it's already created- this can get irritating

Maybe some beginner tutorials might help.

Bitmaps don't usually come into play unless you convert parts to a bitmap.

A couple of things that could lead to the issues your son sees:

The View menu has a Preview Mode submenu. If that is set to Fast it could make some of the graphic look less good. Try one of the better quality options.

MoveiClips can be set to be cached as bitmap. Look in the Properties panel for Blend settings, and see if the Render menu is set to Original.

For some issues it might be worth creating a small FLA that shows the issue, then we can see the same thing you are seeing.

thanks for all info. we will try. And the idea about creating FLA for sure can be helpful to understand his problems.

Best!

first, animate creates vectors with the drawing tools.

none of those are automatically converted to anything. they can be converted to bitmaps (and animate can convert bitmaps to vectors), but that's lesson 50 and you're having a problem with lesson 2 - using the drawing tools.

so, let's hear about your first steps with the animate drawing tools.

Maaaan! You kid made this animation. He has some Adobe Animate game. Does he create everything in Animate or is he bringing outside graphics in? Are they images or vectors?
