I can't use the magic wand tool in Adobe Animate. I have tried going to the modify section and clicking on the break apart tool but it still doesn't work. Please help me ASAP.

It appears that you're trying to make a selection on a shape (a vector graphic) with the Magic Wand. The Magic Wand Tool selects colors of a raster graphic that has been broken apart. To select a fill within a shape, select the Selection Tool (V) and click on the area you want to select. Here's more information on selection tools in Animate:

looks like there is nothing to select. that is why you have the circle with a line through it.

I am using Animate 20.5.1 and I can confirm that most times the Magic Wand doesn't work on bitmaps, like it used to work. It is a 100% bug, because it just sometimes works and sometimes doesn't on the same bitmap shapes. And it used to work well some long time ago

Hello,
I am unable to reproduce the issue at my end. Can you please share a screen recording of the issue when it happens?
This will help us investigate on the same.
Thanks!

Hello arvind_bv! I wasn't sure if the current question is about the same problem, so I posted a new thread about my issue and there is a screenrecording there: https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate-discussions/magic-wand-doesn-t-work-most-times/m-p/12479790
Thanks
