"Uncaught TypeError: AdobeAn.getComposition is not a function"

Explorer ,

I have an Animate canvas that I made a few years ago for a client, and it worked fine. Recently it had to be updated - just a few graphics altered, no major rewrite of code or anything. Now, it won't load and I get the error message "Uncaught TypeError: AdobeAn.getComposition is not a function".

It just sticks on the preload screen.

The site has Cloudflare, if I disable Cloudflare by turning on its development mode, the canvas starts working again and the error no longer appears.

Obviously I can't leave Cloudflare turned off - what do I need to do to get round this problem?

Thanks

that error is triggered by many different errors in code, eg unpaired curly brackets.

Just for the record:

I made a fresh, empty animate file, then copied over all the graphics and code from the old file, and it just started working.

Could it be because it was an old file originally made several years ago?

Cloudflare is failing somehow. Open up your browser's dev console and note any errors that are appearing before the Uncaught TypeError error.
