Question

Hiding UI handles in the stage viewer...

Is there a way to do this?

Like in After Effects, you can hide the transformation handles if they get in the way of what you're trying to do.

I can't find an equivalent in Animate. Am I looking in the wrong place?

If it doesn't exist, could this be a new feature request?

Thanks!

Chris

    you select an object > you select the transform tool (free or gradient) and you want to be able to hide the transform tool handles?

    if so, use the selection tool.

    you can use keyboard shortcuts to speed things if you need to do a lot of back-and-forth between or among the tools.

      Works momentarily...
      I'm doing a lot of timeline work, using keyframe caddy to select frame-based poses.
      Every time I select a different frame, the bounding box and the transform pivot pop up again.
      And, even those can get in the way from time-to-time.

      Yeah.

      Clicking around in the timeline causes the tool display in the viewer to switch to the transform tool.
      In this particular workflow, I click a frame, then, click a button to change the firstFrame value of the symbol on that layer.

      Every time I select a new frame, the transform interface comes up.


      i don't see that so i'm not sure if the problem is related to keyframe caddy or something else.
