Automatic animations?

Question

Is there any plugin/script that offers various types of animations to apply to text/symbols within Animate?

Back when Flash was still active, there was an alternative program called Swish, which allowed you to use a point-and-click mouse menu to create all sorts of dazzling animations, simply and quickly, and then it would export your .swf file when you're ready.

I understand that Animate has this capability, in the form of Actionscript and possibly in other forms ..

The kinds of effects that I'm hoping for range from simple transformations to complex motion paths and animations.

Is there a collection of effects or a website that offers pre-made scripts for download?

Thanks!

Thanks! This is good to know. I looked up what is a jsfl file, and it's JavaScript for Flash.

So I looked and found this, a GitHub of a handy jsfl collection!

https://github.com/vpmedia/flash-jsfl-collection

and these, a smaller collection put together by a team at Fuel Industries that they released for free:

and these, an even smaller, and more technical collection by PoseLab for free:

and this from Peachpit, a short walkthrough of how to create jsfl:

and this from Envanto Tuts, a short video showing how to create some advanced motion in jsfl:

these are more than enough to get me going. thanks for the pointer @kglad !

i saw your message the day you posted and was waiting to see if someone had a plugin for you.

i know you can do this using jsfl files (or one jsfl file), but i haven't searched a premade one and it would require more than a trivial amount of time to create one for you.
