Additional Documentation for events?

[michaelw81027747]

I'm a bit of a noob coming into a Adobe Animate, quite the experienced programmer in many other mainstream languages especially in C#.  So I'm used to quite a robust amount of documentation.

However I've been hitting a big snag when it comes to Animate specifically working with CreateJS in Canvas based Animate projects.

I can't seem to find the entire documentation.  Examples being I ended up running across the property of nominalbounds in the movieclip, but it is documented no where.  So I'm pretty much having to dredge through forum posts to find more information on this.

Also I've been working with events, I am working on a timeline scrubber for Canvas movies, now that I've gotten all the backend working where it can scrub through both the audio and the timeline itself together I wanted to start work on more functionality of the actual controls, but when I wanted to add an eventlistener for when the user releases their mouse button when dragging the slider I can't find any documentation of what all the events available are.

Am I missing something, because the createjs documentation describes that it should be a type, and I can find pressmove in some forum posts, but nowhere is it documented.  Can someone please help by showing me where the adobe's documentation is?  I've been reading off of createjs.com   but the events are listed no where in there, nor is nominalbounds.

It would be a real great help to be able to see all the properties and methods available.

Thanks in advance.

createjs.com is the official website of the default js library used by animate.  these are the api docs, CreateJS | A suite of JavaScript libraries and tools designed for working with HTML5 but i don't think skinner's done well keeping the docs updated.

eg, nominalbounds was added later and not in the docs, http://blog.createjs.com/update-width-height-in-easeljs/

nominalBounds is an Animate-only property. The public docs only cover the standalone CreateJS library.

No, this is not ideal.

Note I didn't click on/notice the event tab for some reason when looking at the index page.  I'm an idiot

Two things I like to do besides reading the official docs that help me a lot to better understand how Animate is integrated with CreateJS:

- To use console.log(obj) and then check for the properties and methods available;

- Examine the generated html and js files.

Hi Michael,

Please check if you can any relevant information from the below links.

• EaselJS Tutorial: Mouse Interaction

Hope this helps.
