Building HTML online banners / some questions

[markus-----]

Hello!

I’m just building some html online banners with Animate - please be patient with me, I’m pretty new to this subject. It works pretty well but there are two things I’m struggeling with:

- How can I move an amimation (several layers, animated masks and tweens) to a different location on my canvas?

- Exported file sizes: When I publish as html canvas I have one picture in the images folder with 70 kb and a js-file with 94 kb (and an index with 3 kb). But everything together may not have more than 100 kb. How is it possible to reduce the file sizes?

Any help is highly appreciated - thanks in advance!

PS: I’m working with a german version of Animate.

right click a layer and you should see a submenu allowing (among other things) you to copy/paste it.

ctrl-click to select various layers then right click etc.

shift-click to select a span of layers then right click etc.

decreasing file size requires some trade-offs.  but generally you image dimensions should be small (it's an ad) so should take that much space and can be compressed.

Thank you, but I still didn’t get it.

What I want to do is move an element - or an entire animation - to a different place on my stage. So the position for all keyframes (not just one) should be changed.

(btw, regarding my second problem: I managed to reduce the exported file size by converting all text into png)

you want to change the timing of when an animation starts?  if so, move the frames (shift-select will select a span of frames) > click and drag to move the frames.

you want to change the x,y of where the animation appears?  this will be trickier because there's a tween span involved.  you'll probably need to remove the tween, move the objects and then re-add the tween.  with a motion tween this is going to require manual placement of objects.

Yes, I want to change the x,y of where the animation appears.

When I select the frames and move the object to the new position only the position of one keyframe has changed, not the position at the other keyframes.

what kind of tween?

[markus-----]

In the german it’s called "klassischer Tween". So, not motion tween.

But even without any tweens only the picture of one keyframe changes position.

in english, that's a classic tween and easier to manage:

select the instance(s) you want to move in each keyframe of each tween and use your arrow keys or mouse to move the instance(s).
