Question

I have a project where I am creating charts for a website. My project is setup so that I can use one chart per area in my website. My fla file can generate any of the applicable charts. The generated canvas html will all be the same dimensions. Will it be possible to have three separate canvas areas of my web page and use only one JS file? I mean one file that can control all three areas where these canvas animations execute? Thanks

I am having no luck with this. I have found other posts that offer helpful suggestions and some that people are saying "the correct way" however these seem to be either outdated or workign with very simple code that ins not like Animate is generating to date. I am namespacing via plublish options, but I cannot get both animations on the screen. I have followed at least three examples I have seen.

Thanks for any help.

Okay, so the question you posed in the thread title has nothing to do with your actual problem, which is putting multiple Animate animations on the same page.

Just put each animation in its own iframe.

Out of the box, no. With some crazy amount of hacking and slashing at the generated code, probably yes.

But more importantly, why? How would that even work? What would be the point?

Let’s say I have a web page that is multiple areas that need charts? I want to run these animations, maybe at different times and different responsive setups. I could hide or show based on devices… many possibilities. I show the example but understand how id and classes work (it's just for demo)
