You just answered your own question-- the old script is loading because it's being cached. Animate works around this for sound and image files by appending random numbers to the end of their filenames when you test. But for any custom resources you have to take care of the cache yourself. ... View more

Okay, in Animate, you don't click on a state, you click on a button... which may happen to be displaying a particular state at the time. So apparently what you actually want is a visual toggle of what's in the Down frame of your button clip. What you need to do is create a movie clip with two frames. The first frame blank and a stop() statement, the second frame whatever you want to display when the button is clicked. Then in the event handler for your button, put some code that checks the current frame of the movie clip. If it's in the first frame, go to the second frame. If it's in the second frame, go to the first frame. ... View more

Man, someone is marking correct answers on autopilot today. To access any code written inside Animate from outside Animate, use the exportRoot object. This global object is automatically defined by Animate, and points to the root timeline level. So if you defined testFunction on the root timeline, you'd access it from anywhere else on the same HTML page with: exportRoot.testFunction(); And if the function is inside a movieclip, you'd name the movieclip and extend the reference as per usual for JavaScript: exportRoot.myMovieClip.testFunction(); etc... ...

**facepalm** Animate CC is a completely different product from Edge Animate. The only thing they have in common is the word "Animate" in their names. Yes, this naming was an inexplicably terrible decision on Adobe's part. You cannot inject HTML into Animate Canvas objects because they're not HTML objects. They're CreateJS objects, which get painted to an HTML5 canvas element at runtime by the CreateJS library. I linked to the docs for this library in my first reply. ... View more

There's no such instance properties as .width and .height in Canvas mode. You set .scaleX and .scaleY to resize objects. For your use case I'd recommend making the clip's native dimensions 100x100 so the math is as straightforward as possible. When that isn't possible you can use a clip's .nominalBounds.width and .nominalBounds.height to determine the scale factor. EaselJS v0.8.2 API Documentation : DisplayObject ... View more

I'd be thrilled with a DIV component that accepted freeform HTML content. The big advantage of these components vs the homegrown overlay solutions we've had to use so far is that they're timeline-aware. ... View more

This has been asked a few times. There's literally no difference between JavaScript coded inside Animate and JavaScript anywhere else in the same HTML document, so all you need is the right object reference. Conveniently, Animate defines a global reference to the root timeline, exportRoot. You can prove its validity by dropping this code in your root timeline: alert(exportRoot === this); If you get "true"—which you should—then you're golden. So all you have to do to control the main timeline is: exportRoot.stop(); exportRoot.play(); ... View more

You do not have "action coding". Canvas documents use vanilla JavaScript, plus the CreateJS library for audiovisual tasks. The whole point of using a button is that you DON'T need any of that code. Flash/Animate handles it for you automatically. You put the static image in the Up frame and the animated movieclip in merged Over and Down frames. How to create buttons with Animate CC ...

That is indeed the correct way to check for a media file ending. How are you setting the value of "myVideo"? You should be doing something like this: var myVideo = document.getElementById("thisismyvideofile"); If you're using the HTML components, Animate sets the ID of the video element to the same as the instance name. You should also set an "error" listener pointing to the same handler as "ended", so people don't get stuck if video playback fails. ... View more
