To clarify my comment - Would be cool to have a scaffold export for various formats/platforms that is ready for any sort of *actual* functional programming. Not a complete project. Thinking an Android Studio or XCode skeletal project. Not anything like... Flash Catalyst... or whatever... *cough* ... View more

I'd like to see Xd output a variety of project types ready for functional additions... but it doesn't currently do this. ... View more

Yeah - you could also export your mp4 generated by Character Animator as still frames and then bring all these into a MovieClip on the stage... I don't think I'm quite clear what the final target is. ... View more

It's also important to know the wider platform you are targeting. For instance, lots of people simply use "Flash" to generate video content for use in After Effects or Premiere Pro, others use the runtime for gaming on iOS and Android, some use it to generate standalone content... these are all uses completely outside any web browser. Since you mention Google, I'm thinking you must be referring to Web - which is a tricky situation as expressed by aliciab72459363​. In terms of Adobe's support and future development efforts, you can refer to the following: Re: Flash being phased out? / PDF portfolios ... View more

You can use a bitmap to skin a button - but yeah... you cannot provide an instance name to a bitmap. ... View more

Is it the very first frame? If so- have the instance appear on frame 1 and the code on frame 2. Canvas sometimes needs some breathing room... ... View more

I'd suggest placing the file in DropBox or some other service and including a link to download within your email. ... View more

I'm going to guess that "tipsinfo_btn" does not exist on the same frame you have your code on - so the event listener cannot be added to it. If your code is at frame 3, for instance, be sure an instance of "tipsinfo_btn" is at frame 3 as well. Even if it exists off-stage on the pasteboard and then shifts into place later on (when you want it visible) that will work. ... View more

Yeah, there is audio and video with JS... we might have even gone a little overboard with the video code 😕 I will say that some of the stuff I've done for Lynda and Pluralsight probably have more JS than in any of the books I've ben involved with though - since these video courses can be more focused and books tend to be giant all-encompassing things. The Animate CC blog has a number of JS articles on it as well: Using HTML5 Canvas In Animate CC: JavaScript Basics | Creative Cloud blog by Adobe ... View more

I'm pretty familiar with a number of books on Animate CC. I wrote two, tech-edited one, and hope to see a fourth in print very soon. Learn Adobe Animate CC for Interactive Media: Adobe Certified Associate Exam Preparation (authored text and videos) Includes a series of projects focused on learning objectives for the ACA certification. Have some HTML5 Canvas - a little of everything - but not a ton of JavaScript. Includes 6 hours of video in addition to text. Beginning Adobe Animate CC: Learn to Efficiently Create and Deploy Animated and Interactive Content (co-authored) Focused on general program techniques with a 50/50 balance between AS3 and JS in later chapters. Probably the most JS out of any I've been involved in. Adobe Animate CC Classroom in a Book (tech-edited and video voiceovers) Covers a lot of platforms. HTML5 Canvas included - but not a lot of JS. How to Cheat in Adobe Animate CC I'm not sure how much JS is on here as I haven't read it yet. I'll see whether Myra Ferguson can pop on over to say a few words but from what I have seen and heard it sounds like a great book as well. Hope that is somewhat helpful! ... View more

Hi. It may have something to do with scope - but would need to see how the file is arranged to know for sure. ... View more

Inspecting the code - looks like they are all small videos playing. In Animate CC, you could animate each letter and export as video. Then combine all videos into a full website. Looks like that's what they are doing here. ... View more

Not at all. Publish is how you produce SWF for Flash Player as well. SWF is not going away. Yeah, Publish should create a set of files and folders you can pass along - exactly. ... View more

You can open the AS3 document .fla within Animate CC and choose Commands > Convert to other document formats from the application menu. From here, choose HTML5 Canvas and it will be saved to a new file targeting that platform. To have it loop once (play twice?) you will need to create a variable to keep track on teh first frame and then increment it on the final frame. Additionally, check on the final frame whether the variable has been incremented or not and either stop or whatever. FRAME 1: var loop = true; FRAME {LAST}: if(loop){     loop = false; }else{     this.stop(); } ... View more

For the button hide - you can toggle the visible property of the button from true to false upon click. Have a look at the Code Snippets panel to get started: Window > Code Snippets. To change colors based on button press - you can use a symbol with various frames for each color and then when a corresponding color is clicked - go to that frame in the symbol. Start with Code Snippets. They are full of useful comments as well. ... View more
