Two quirks I would like to share

Hi,

I've always been an avid flash user and stopped working on flash related content after CS6 because my job changed.

Recently we had to go back into making HTML5 banners and we first made a bunch of banners in google web designer, but then quickly noticed this didn't give us the creative freedom we would like so we booted up Animate again to give it a spin.

However we came across a couple of issues that kind of baffle me. This software is focussed on animation, however there seem to be some quirks / bugs that make some simple stuff unnecessarily difficult.

I have attached 2 examples of strange behaviour.

1) (See video Bug1) If you have a MovieClip that has a MotionTween attached to it, when you scale the object to 200% and then later make a new motion with that object and only move the object up and down, you can see that the pivot point changes. I found that if i round the pixel values of the MovieClip this bug goes away, but still its very annoying.

2) (See image Bug2) We initially tried to make our animation with Classic Tweens, however we quickly ran into issues with granular control over the eases. You can edit the eases, but you can only see between 0 and 100% while certain eases move above and below those values (like in the screenshot). This makes it hard to fine tune these.

This is absolutly not a rant, I really like the software, but these things combined really set us up with a rough start which I hope can be prevented for future users.

Kind regards,

Erik Sombroek
