Sidecar not working with Animate ?

It's the first time i'm trying to use Sidecar, i own an iPad Pro and thought i'd use it as a tablet to draw in Adobe Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator... I red that I can use Sidecar to link my Mac Mini and my iPad Pro, which seems to work for some apps, but definetly doesnt for any of the Adobe apps i tried. 

Any ideas ? 

Have a nice day

Animate doesn't seem to have the Move to iPad options you see in other apps. But, you could switch to Finder, choose Move to iPad, then back in Animate you can drag the main window to your iPad. After that you could switch to full screen mode to get a bigger stage to draw onto. Note though that dialog boxes about full screen mode will still be opening on your main screen.

I love using sidecar for Adobe Animate but I do wish they would just make animate for the iPad.
