Can't import sequences into Animate

Hi - can't seem to import image sequences into Adobe animate. It consistently only lets me import the images one at a time rather than the whole sequence in one go. Have tried various naming conventions and number paddings but doesn't make any difference. 

 

Any help very much appreciated! Seems like a bit of a bug...?

    Hi.

     

    I've just tested with images named like image_0.jpgimage_1.jpgimage_0.jpg... and image_00.jpgimage_01.jpgimage_02.jpg... and they all worked as expected.

     

    How are your image files named?

     

    And please take a look at this answer for info on how to import image sequences into Animate:

    Hi there - have tried various naming conventions and number pads but it doesn't make any diffference - have tried things like filename_01.svg, filename_02.svg, filename_03.svg (it's an svg sequence I'm trying to import by the way) and various permutations of those etc but still doesn't work. Still only wants to import each file one by one.

    I can do but I've tried it with other files and formats as well and had the same results. Here's a 6 frame sequence for you anyway - good luck...


    Thanks.

     

    All the SVG files you sent contain the same artwork and that's why you got the result from the video.

     

    Can you check this?
