I made an animation on Animate CC 2019 but it doesn't look properly when i try to open it on Animate CC 2018. It has many errors with charecters body parts. I have suspision that it is because of layer parenting that i used in my animation. Is there any ways to properly save my fla file to be able to open it in Animate CC 2018?  Help me please(

No, mate,

 

An older version than AA19 can't open a parented file as parenting was introduced in AA19.

It's unrealistic to expect such a thing.

 

You can unparent all the keyframes in AA19 or 20 and then the positions of the elements will be correct when you open in AA18, but the elements won't tween along arcs any more.

 

For a fully backward compatible rigging system, use Smart Magnet Rigs.
