canvas html5 - change color of instance in seperate timeline of a movieclip

[Froschloeffel]

If I change the color of an instance on the main timeline it works perfect in html5.

If I change the color of an instance on the timeline of a movieclip, which is not on the main timeline - then it does not work anymore.

does anybody know why? and what I can do, that it works again?

thanks for a hinch

click the html/js tab and embed a screenshot of those settings.

that looks good.

assign, at least, one custom keyboard shortcut (if you have none now)

reset your animate preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/using/set-preferences.html

confirm you were successful by trying to use that custom shortcut (that should fail).

if it fails, retest your fla

i have no idea how to assign a custom keyboard shorcut...

i started animate, as mentioned on the side of your link,  by holding down cmd+option+shift - i was asked, if i want to delete all my preferences - i clickt yes - then opend the file agian and published as usual - same problem as before. still wrong js

no effect at all...

i found it in the meantime. and i reseted the preferences once again - does't help...

[kglad]

were you successful resetting your preferences, proven by seeing a custom shortcut get reset?

[Froschloeffel]

yes i was successful. thanks for that.

in the meantime i could try the script on another computer. and it worked perfect. like on yours. then we compared everything we found - and the difference was, that my version animate cc 2021 was not with the latest update. after the update of animate cc 2021 - it works! i wonder, why adobe did not inform, that there is an update and that the older version of animate cc 2021 had quite a heavy big bug.
im very sorry to have kept you busi with my problem. but i learnd quite a few things. thank you so much for your kindness and help!

during all the tries and errors i thought, maybe the reason it did not work right is, that it was not on the main timeline. so i made a version on the main timeline. when i publish it, it counts perfect for the first run. if i click again it starts at frame 1. with the second click it jumps to frame 3, then to frame 5, then to frame 2, again to frame 5 and after a few clicks more it even jumps backward. strange things still happen also with the super-newest version...

i've had the previous versions and never encountered that, and i've not seen anyone else report that issue.  my guess is a clean install of that same version would have fixed the problem, too.

but there's not need to test that.  all's well that ends well.
