Adobe Animate CC, I can't even do mouseover effects :(

Question

Hello,I've recently started using Adobe Animate CC and I can't get my head around how the timeline and different stages work, I understand these are very noob questions but there doesn't seem to be ANY updated tutorials - not on youtube and nothing on Udemy (they all seem to use an older version of Animate CC). So the basic question is - How do you do mouseovers, And the more advanced part is, would it be possible to show/hide a complete layer when clicking a button. This is a project for one of my friends and I have already done plenty of work on the animations and such, just can't get my head around the actions. Any help is much appreciated, thanks

with canvas you have to enable mouseover using something like, stage.enableMouseOver(10);

layers don't exist outside the ide, so no, you can't hide a layer. otoh, you can accomplish what you want by copying the layer/frames and pasting into a movieclip and controlling the movieclip's visible property.

You don't have to manually add enableMouseOver if you use any button clips, which are the simplest way to do mouseover effects.

Basic tutorials for Flash/ActionScript 2 will be almost 1:1 applicable to Animate, even when working in Canvas documents (they require some minor syntax tweaks).
