Error message 'To add code for this object please select and instance of the object in the main timeline or movieclip timeline'. This message pops up when I click 'Click to go to frame and play'. I am trying to make a replay button. I am using HTML5.

I don't know if this is related, but when I first click on my animation there is nothing in the timeline; I have to double click on my charecter to make my animation appear.

I am very much a beginner user of animate, but I would be greatful for any help you can provide.

If you need any additional context I will be happy to provide some.

Thanks,

Liz

Correct answer kglad

i suspect the problem's caused by trying to add something to a tween layer (or even worse nested tweens).

yes, what type of object is that replay object? ie, did you draw somethings > right click > click convert to object???

Hi.

You need to make sure that you're working on a HTML5 Canvas document, that you are trying to add a HTML Canvas snippet and that you have a Movie Clip or Button instance on stage selected before using the snippet.

Can you show as your complete view and if you have an instance selected?

i suspect the problem's caused by trying to add something to a tween layer (or even worse nested tweens).

This worked, I pasted the layers from the Tween layer to the scene layer and I can now use the button (yay!). However, I now have a new problem. My animation pasted too far above the stage so it cannot be seen if I save it. I have tried moving the layer using highlighting and also the 'edit multiple frames' function, but my motion tweens no longer work, or objects dissapear. Is there a way for me to move the stage up to fit my animation, or a way for me to move the layers/animation without damaging the tweens?

Thank you 🙂
