"A Javascript Error Occurred" with no additional explanation

[defaultk6tvbmok2amn]

Hi!

I'm working on a project for school that involves some simple animation and basic scripting on a HTML 5 canvas. My issue is that when I go to test the animation, I get a "A javascript error occured" message, and I'm at a loss as to what could be causing it.

I have some scripting in actions, but even if I completley delete this scripting, I still get the error message when testing the movie. I saw that there was another post with the same error message a few years back, and their fix was to restart animate, restart the computer and try unchecking "export image assets" under publish settings.

I'm at a loss!

If you attempt this on a different computer - do you recieve the same error message? It may be this particular installation has issues.

Yes, I've got another machine with Animate 2022 installed and I get the exact same message unfortunately.

It likely has more to do with the file itself then... one thing to try: File > Convert To... > ActionsScript 3.0 - once that file is created, convert it back to HTML5 Canvas to see whether he conversion fixes any file-based problem. The original file will be preserved.

Thanks for your reply, I have converted it to Actionscript 3.0, and back to HTML 5, but I'm still getting the same Javascript error message when testing or trying to publish the animation.

Was this ever solved? I am having the same issue.

@fortunalight 

comment out all your code and insert an initial empty keyframe on your main timeline.  test

[fortunalight]

I am still getting the same error. I cannot preview or publish my document.

save with a name.

then remove half the main timeline frames

test

if that triggers the same error, remove the half of the main timeline.

test

results?
