This error popped up when trying to import an "aiff" audio file. Never had this error before.

[SpinEd]

I am having the same issue with all my audio files. In addition, it seems to be defaulting to EVENT audio instead of its usual STREAM format in previous versions when I dial back? Could be related to the update too?

Appologies for inconvinience. Audio import related issue will be addressed in next update.

Any update on when the audio import bug will be fixed? The application is useless at the moment due to this issue.

@reymuttley , @toddf15329841 , @SpinEd 

Audio import issue has been addressed in the latest Animate update - 21.0.9 released today. Please update your copy of Animate to the latest using Creative Cloud Desktop application to avail the fix.

Thanks.

[SpinEd]

Much appreciated! I wonder what else broke in the process though lol Guess I'll go find out!

There are a couple issues with the code-editor (on Mac) in this release. 

Specifically...

1. Selecting a block of code and typing doesn't do anything .. at all. It should delete the block of code and start typing/overwriting it.

2. If your cursor is in the editor, you cannot use the Function Keys (F9 at least)

3. There's something funky going on with the quote and parentheses completion - it's not adding it correctly, or at least how it used to.

[mleuch]

Any update on these bugs? The code-editor isn't useable so my company had to revert back to 21.0.7 and turn off auto-update on Animate. 

[amitc34158823]

Appologies for inconvinience. Issues with 'actions panel' are under investigation for upcoming updates.

@mleuch Just wanted to let you know that the update 21.0.9 we have pushed today addressed these issues. Could you please update your copy of Animate to the latest to avail these changes. 

Thanks!

There are a some glitches in this update. Ctrl+S doesnt work, Code hint doesnt work. Tried resetting the keyboard shortcuts, but it works for some time ad then goes back to the not working mode 😞 Had to revert back to the old version 21.0.7

[dorins74257300]

A lot of keyboard shortcuts are not working. Also the zoom on the code is terrible when i open a file. Have to reset it again and guess what? CTRL+0 not working!
Terrible!
Had a lot of problems due to CTRL+S and CTRL+F not working also!

[Mohanaraj]

@Shahbaz Pothiawala The issues with fn & ctrl keys are addressed in the 21.0.9 update we have released today. Please update to the latest to avail the fixes. 

Thanks!

There has been a month now since the last update. Shortcuts still don't work if the cursor is in the code window. You need to move focus to somewhere else for CTRL+F or CTRL+S to work. Also the zoom still doesn't get saved. Everytime I open a new file the text is sooo small.
I repeat, this is happening in 21.0.9

Hi dorins74257300 ,

Can you please share the exact scenario in which you are facing issues with ctrl+s not working ,is it happening only on win or mac also? Can you share a small screen recording of the issue  to help us investigate the issue .This is not reproducible at our end on the latest Animate version .

Regarding the zoom save ,you can set the font size from preferences and it will be saved .Edit > Preferences >Edit Preferences >Code editor >Font size .

Thanks

There is a critical bug.
Japanese fonts are NOT available.

[Mohanaraj]

Hi - This has been fixed internally and we are validating. Will let you know as soon as the update with this fix is available.

Thanks!

Mohan

[Mohanaraj]

@Takagi Hitoshi The fix for this issue is available in 21.0.9 update released today. Please update your copy of Animate to the latest using Creative Cloud desktop application to avail the fix.

Thanks!

After this last update, when I open scripts for editing, the zoom level is unacceptably too low to be able to read the code. I can use the scroll-wheel to zoom-ion to where the code is readable again, but I have to do this every time I open a script tab.

[Mohanaraj]

Hi - The scroll wheel zoom will only temporarily change the font size. You may want to set the desired font size permanantly under Preferences > Edit Preferences > Code Editor > Font size. Once set, this will be applied and remembered across the Animate sessions.

Thanks!

Mohan

[dorins74257300]

The font size is not set permanently.. first you should test this before replying.
Every time i open the same file i have to set it again. Even if i go to preferences!
Also fix the shortcuts.. CTRL+S , CTRL +F are not working if cursor is in the code editor.

[Mohanaraj]

@dorins74257300 Can you please check this in 21.0.9 update released today. The shortcuts must be functional and the Text size must be remembered when you set it using Preferences. Please let me know if you are still facing any issues at your end.

Thanks!

Animate is still so broken it's criminal that Adobe would ever change monthly for it. It should be a public trial instead of Adobe scamming people for their money. 

There's like a million things, but let me throw this out there:

-Draw something with color on a scene. 

-Select linear gradient for a fill. 
-Double click one of the colors on the linear gradient so the swatch panel comes up. 
-Put the mouse cursor over the scene, and your cursor will be the color sample tool. 
-Click the color object you drew on the stage. 

It's supposed to sample the color to set the color on the gradient. It doesn't. It also clicks the stage, and performs the function of the tool you have selected. 

In addition, this also sometimes removes the fill type drop down, so you cannot set a linear or radial gradient. 

[Mohanaraj]

Appologies for the experience @exactspace . Just want to understand a bit more on the color picker issue that you are facing.

1. Are you on Mac OS?

2. Is Permissions turned off for Adobe Animate under System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Privacy tab?

If yes, can you please allow Animate in this setting as it is needed for the color picker to work.

Thanks!
