Local included Files disappear in animate cc

[sbarasi]

Global Scripts or included external Video (Video Component) disappear from file system during export.

You mean that you can't find imported video in exported directory?

Possibly related, I've had all the sound files for a page disappear after export. It's happened a couple of times (that I've noticed) over several weeks, so very difficult to nail down the culprit.

The problem occurs always if the asset is in the same folder as the export folder. For example TweenMax.min.js in a "libs" subfolder will disappear because the TweenMax.min.js file will be exported to the same folder, if included via the actionscript panel. The same happens if you use the video component and include the source video from a subfolder called "videos". This of course will lead to file not found errors after the export has finished. This happens in my canvas project.

Hi.

By default, depending on the types of resources that will be published, Animate creates some folders with predefined names. For example: components, images, libs, sounds, videos.

So if you don't want to risk having some folder overwritten, you have basically two options:

- To change the name of the exported folders in the Publish Settings;

- To keep your resources in folders with other names. For example: movies instead of videos or music instead of sounds.

I hope it helps.
