@KlausKi    I like that! From a user's point of view it's not bad at all.   If it ever gets implemented, I'd rather have it as an optional alternative to the current behaviour, which can be enabled or disabled, like the 'Align to stage' checkbox - 'Keep last-clicked in place'.   ... View more

Hi @Tgibs2 , That's great news. I'm glad to hear you managed to get this sorted out! Well done!   I'm not exactly sure whether the students are just starting to learn how to use Animate or already know the basics. I used to teach Flash and Character Design in a BA of Animation program to first year students, who had never touched Flash before.   The drawing tools are all simple and logical, so they pose no challenge at all.   The most crucial and important thing that lays the foundation of a solid understanding of how to effectively utilize symbols is to grasp the concept of nested and synced timelines.   The simplest example I could think of to introduce the concept was a circle (ball) bouncing in place with a duplicate frame, where the first and last are the same; then wrapping it into a Graphic which shows all but the last (duplicate) frame, and then wrapping this one again and tweening it across the stage. Here is a version of this with illustrations: https://flash-powertools.com/keeping-cycles-flexible-for-easy-re-timing-by-using-service-frame-and-working-two-levels-deep/   Matt Fryer's courses @TipTut are very good:    From our stuff, I'd recommend first learning simple joint mechanics:   And then progress with the rest: https://flash-powertools.com/smart-magnet-rigs-where-to-start/   Good luck! ...

Your screen resolution is very low and the toolbar is clipped. First drag the right edge to make it in two columns, then click the 3 dots at the bottom to add missing tools. To effectively use this program you need higher resolution. Otherwise you will struggle.   ... View more

I keep it similar to how it is in Flash with just white tint for both previous and next.   ... View more

I don't know what the reason for the increased brightness is. It could be just a player/playback issue with QuickTime on Windows.   Check it in DaVinci / Premiere, where you will do the final editing to make sure it is actually brighter.   Maybe you can make color adjustments in AME and add them to a custom profile, but it probably will be better to do it as part of your final edit.   ...

Hi @Mister26610059l50h  You can use a symbol container as camera in any version of Flash, so that you don't need to rely on V-cams. Just put your stuff inside a Graphic Symbol, set it to Play Once and zoom, pan and tween that. It will give you all the flexibility you need.   Here is an example, which I saved in the MX2004 (Flash 7) file format, so that you can open and see how it's done: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H-V5rJQumLhwFuniJo2ajy4sxrdSJR2c/view?usp=drive_link   ...

Personally, I don't think that there is anything to complain about. The current implementation is logical, delivers consistent results and is bug free.   I'd be very curious to hear your suggestions how the UX can be improved.   ... View more

These glitches that you are getting, where the curves don't render properly upon export, are most likely because your artwork was created too small and scaled up a lot via camera or at symbol instance level.   To avoid this, go inside your symbols and scale up all your vector shapes.   ...

Hi Monika, Glad to know this was somehow useful!. Maybe if you post a screen recording someone could help you with the issues you're facing.   ... View more

Use Classic Tweens. There are too many bugs with Motion Tweens and no one is fixing them, because no one uses them anyway...   ... View more

You cannot tween more than one symbol per layer. To add elements either put them inside your existing symbol or on a new layer and tween them.   ... View more

If it's a classic ease you should be able to save a command form History and assign a shortcut key to it. Then select all the tweens and press the key.   Here you can see how you can save a command which applies easing of +100:   ... View more

Most likely those were Symbols or Drawing Objects.   That is why I suggested you need to learn the basics and the terminology, so that you can effectively follow demonstrations and understand what is being shown.   Good luck!   ... View more

Yeah, plug your Wacom in, install the Wacom driver. In the Wacom properties you might need to switch Windows Ink OFF for Flash.  All should work fine in Flash 8.   If you face mapping issues set your Dispay Scaling to 100% from Windows Display Settings.   You can also install EDAP Tools to get extra functionality.   ...

@kglad  The OP asked me the same quastion in another thread. There he said a few more things which made me think that he meant 'How to select?'.   ... View more

Just to add, João. Same technique works applied to a Movie Clip symbol as well the way it should work with Layer blending mode; doesn't need to be applied to the frame. (In Flash Layer blending mode works as expected and most likely that is why it also works in Flash Player. The bug must be in the IDE rendering. Won't write speculations about the reasons, but have theories :))   ... View more

Yeah, you can copy characters, backgrounds and assets from one FLA to another.   Also, get into the habit of saving versions of your file as you progress - like FileName_01.fla, FileneName_02.fla and so on, to have backups and prevent issues with work loss due to data corruption.   What do you mean by 'marking' an object? Do you want to select a raw shape and its outline? You can click the stroke and then hold down Shift and click the fill; or you can do a box selection (click outside and drag), or click on the keyframe in the timeline, or select with the lasso tool, and then either convert to a symbol or a Union/Drawing Object.    If you are new to Animate, you'd better get to know some basics: ...

Well done, mate! Glad you managed to fix it. Audio sounding louder is a common symptom of 48 000 Hz imports, that is why I insisted on seeing the source.   BTW, do you know that you can easily adjust the volume of your sound tracks in Animate? You can also crop and split sounds, add fades and so on, by clicking on the little pencil icon in the Properties panel.   ... View more

As @Mario_CR suggested, if you like, post your source WAV and FLA to a file server for inspection.   There is no guarantee that anyone would be able to help you, but it is certain that no one will be able to help you while you claim to be doing everything right, but no one can reproduce the problem and see what is wrong.   ...
