Red box on every symbol imported from illustrator in Animate 2019

Hi.

While the Animate team doesn't come up with a solution for this, I have a script here that can - or at least should - delete all layers from all selected symbols in the Library.

So all you have to do is:

- To import your Illustrator file;

- Select all symbols (movie clips) from the folder that Animate CC creates for the imported Illustrator artwork in the Library;

- Run the JSFL script below by double clicking it or by dragging and dropping it over the Animate IDE or by going to Commands > Run Command....

Figure showing the Library panel with selected symbols imported from Illustrator

It should remove all mask layers.

JSFL Script Remove All Maks Layers:

animate_cc_jsfl_remove_mask_layers.zip - Google Drive

JSFL script code for reference only:

function deleteAllMasks()
{
    var doc;
    var lib;

    doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();

    if (!doc)
    {
        alert("Please open an FLA first.");
        return;
    }

    lib = doc.library;
    lib.getSelectedItems().forEach(function(item)
    {
        if (item.itemType == "movie clip")
        {
            var layers = item.timeline.layers;
            
            layers.forEach(function(layer, index)
            {
                if (layer.layerType == "mask")
                    item.timeline.deleteLayer(index);
            });
        }
    });
}
deleteAllMasks();

Please let us know if it works.

Regards,

JC

What if you try deselecting "Apply recommended import settings..."?
