I just want to be able to animate to audio. But when I drag the audio file into the timeline, I can't hear it. So what do I have to to hear audio in Animate? When I googled it, my first result is this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/animate/can-t-hear-audio-in-animate-cc/td-p/9212206 in which someone ansewered a solution, but I don't understand it(it might be important to note though, that this is from 2017). What is Action Scripts? Is it something that comes with Adobe, or do I have to install it seperately? Is it absolute necessary just to play back audio on the timeling in Animate?

Is the sound behavior set to Stream? Select a frame where the sound is in the layer - go to Properties Panel > Sound drop down section and set it to Stream (default is Event).

click the keyframe where you want the sound to start and in the properties panel, scroll to sound (if necessary),  and select your sound.

Ok, thanks, I managed to do that. But I still can't hear the audio on playback in the program... I've made sure it's not just my computer.

Ok, thanks! How's this? This is a simplistic animation I've been working on, in which I tried ot add audio that won't play...

Just to add to what's been said in the thread before.

Check your source audio file. To work properly it has to be 44100Hz, 16-bit, ideally PCM WAV.

Anything higher than 16-bit will probably not play; also 48000Hz will cause other problems.

 

To hear the sound while scrubbing, you need to set it to Stream.
