Animate cc 2017, camera problem

$
0
0

Hi there,

I'm trying the new camera tool in Animate CC 2017, it's pretty cool though it's quite basic. But I have a big problem with it: after several uses, my scene finally moves to the top left, and is not centered animore… Actually, the only parameters for the camera are the zoom and the rotation. Nothing for coordonates, it's all manual with the tool. In fact, this new tool seems to have been very quick made, it's too bad and I hope that the coming update will fix the bugs and make it a great tool.

One other thing, when exporting the swf file for import in After Effects, the camera zoom and rotation disapear…

I have an Animate CC Canvas project.  My main timeline is one frame with child movieclips on separate layers. I have a function on the main timeline that I need to call inside a child movieclip. I have tried exportRoot.functionName and this.parent.functionName but neither works. Get js error in browser that object does not support method. I can't figure out how to target main timeline from within child movie clip.

 

Thanks,

Problem with exporting camera movements out of Adobe Animate

So I just recently discovered this glitch after updating my Adobe Animate to the current Adobe Animate CC 2018. When I'm in adobe animate and SWF preview the animation looks fine, but when I put it into swivel to convert to MP4 the camera movements make the animation white out everything but the right corner of the animation... I've attached pictures

I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this. I've re installed both Animate and Swivel, and still no fix.

Nesting Symbol Not Animating In Timeline?

$

Hello,

 

Recently, I have been working on a simple animation that mainly consists of motion tweens. I have a boat, water, clouds, rain, sun and rainbow layers on my stage. I need to make the sun a nested animation, meaning to convert it into a symbol and then alter the brightness so it looks as if the sun is getting darker. I have created the symbol and embedded the colour changing animation within the symbol. When I play it within the symbol itself, it works. However, when I drag the symbol (the embedded animation is saved in it) onto my stage, it doesn't animate. Any ideas what this could be? I'm using Adobe CC 2017 Animate.

 

Thank you in advance for your reply, it is greatly appreciated.

I’ve been using flash mx for about 2 months now, and a reoccuring problem is that when i try to test my animations, it plays the audio and the video together, but when i try to pause it, only the video pauses, while the audio continues until the very end. Just curious to see if anyone else had this problem in the past and knows how to fix it. Thank you for your time.

before converting to canvas , I have saved fla to xfl, i got files in xml format. After saving it to xfl, i am unable to find embedded video in the xfl files location . but if i open the xfl in animate, it is referring "lung highlighted (9s)" under ..\Library.

I have checked the DOMDOCUMENT.xml, i found below lines

 

<DOMVideoItem name="lung highlighted (9s)" itemID="536a1763-0000105f" sourceExternalFilepath="./LIBRARY/lung highlighted (9s).flv" sourceLastImported="1369150498" videoDataHRef="Media 6.dat" videoType="vp6 media" fps="24" channels="0" width="300" height="300" length="8.95833333333333"/>

in my component xml file, i saw below layer

<DOMLayer name="Animation Blank" color="#9933CC" parentLayerIndex="0" autoNamed="false" visible="false">

If i refer the same in animate, it is listing flv file and referring library folder

Vertically center dynamic text

Is it possible to have text in a dynamic textfield vertically centered? I wish to have the text vertically centered on a colored rectangle. Sometimes that text will have 1 line and sometimes 2. So I was wondering if there was a way to have that textfield vertically centered on that rectangle to no matter what that text will always be in the center of that shape?

Adobe Animate CC lagging

$

0

Whenever I undo, switch between eraser and brush, or use a long stroke, Animate lags really bad and will sometimes freeze and crash. I'm new to the program, so I don't know how to troubleshoot the issue and I haven't found anything online. I'm using a Turcom TS - 6610 for drawing, but I don't think this is the issue because even if I use hotkeys on my keyboard Animate lags all the same.

 

Any and all help appreciated.

Creating/accessing global function from external .js file

Hi,

 

I need to have a function that is accessed by Animate CC through connecting to an external file by: Global>Includes.

 

Then I need to run the function that is sitting on the external file when I click on a movie clip.

 

For example, the code on my movie clip is:

 

this.stop(); // stops the action on my movie clip

myFunction(); // trying to access function from external javascipt file

 

The code in the external file is:

 

function myFunction() { // this code is not being called from my movie clip

alert("working!");

}

 

 

The console log states: "myFunction" is undefined.

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Kristen

Bone Tool not showing purple connection lines?

So, I'm using the bone tool to connect movie clip instances, but as I drag the bone tool from what I want as the root bone to an arm, Animate is not showing the purple lines that connect each bone to each other? In all the tutorials I've watched you can see the various symbols that Animate uses such as the circle with red diamond indicating the first or root bone. It seems there should be some kind of preview or view I'm not finding???

Unable to pan/zoom with Wacom pen in Animate CC

Wacom Intuos Pen&Touch Small

PC, Windows 7 (latest updates installed)

Issue: when trying to pan or zoom canvas via wacom pen it just scrolls up/down just like in case of using mouse wheel.

 

How can I make it work the same way as in Photoshop? In Photoshop CC it works just fine: I hold button1 on my wacom pen and move it for panning. The same with Alt key pressed for zooming. But in Animate CC it doesn't work. I've tried everything. Tried to change settings in Wacom panel (both for all apps and for Animate only - no difference). Even tried to disconnect my mouse: no effect. I have latest version of Animate CC installed. Any suggestions?

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded Error

Hi,

 

I got this error recently where the animation won't start to due to a stack limit breached. This only occurs on Google Chrome. I have browser tested it on all major browsers such as Safari, IE, Firefox and Edge. Everything seemed fine.

 

Source code

 

function init() {

  canvas = document.getElementById("verticalSlideshow");

  anim_container = document.getElementById("vertical_container");

  dom_overlay_container = document.getElementById("vertical_overlay_container");

  images = images||{};

  ss = ss||{};

  var loader = new createjs.LoadQueue(false);

  loader.addEventListener("fileload", handleFileLoad);

  loader.addEventListener("complete", handleComplete);

 

  loader.loadManifest(lib.properties.manifest);

}

function handleFileLoad(evt) { 

  if (evt.item.type == "image") { images[evt.item.id] = evt.result; }

}

function handleComplete(evt) {

  //This function is always called, irrespective of the content. You can use the variable "stage" after it is created in token create_stage.

  var queue = evt.target;

  var ssMetadata = lib.ssMetadata;

 

 

  for(i=0; i<ssMetadata.length; i++) {

    console.log("Image Names: "+ queue.getResult(ssMetadata[i].name));

    ss[ssMetadata[i].name] = new createjs.SpriteSheet( {"images": [queue.getResult(ssMetadata[i].name)], "frames": ssMetadata[i].frames} )

  }

  exportRoot = new lib.CombinedExpanded_RainLeafAni(); //ERROR TRIGGERS HERE

 

From what I gather that it is a recursive function constantly being called and Google Chrome has a limited stack memory compared to other browsers.

 

I initially developed this in Adobe Animate 2017 version, I updated yesterday and the 2018 exported the same source files with a small tweek. No luck.

If anyone could help me with this that would be great.

"Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall flash."

$

So I attempted the virtual camera tutorial animation on the adobe webpage for Animate CC.

When the animation was complete, I tried to export it as a .mov file.

However, I was greeted with the message: "Error initializing Java Runtime Environment. You may need to reinstall flash."

 

So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player for my default browser(Firefox), but nothing.

I was told to delete and recreate/modify the jvm.ini file in my Configuration folder in the install directory, so I did. I changed -Xmx256m to -Xmx1024m to -Xmx128m and back to -Xmx256m; I deleted it and restarted Animate CC, I moved it from C:\Users\myUsername\Appdata\Local\Adobe\Animate CC 2017\en_US\Configuration\ActionScript 3.0 to my install directory\Common\Configuration\ActionScript (which did not already have it for some reason- is this normal?) and to the en_US\ConfigurationActionScript 3.0 folder in the install directory, then copied it around and put it in half of the folders in the install directory. Still nothing.

I tried running the application as an administrator. This had no effect.

Someone else advised me to install the 2010 and 2008 Microsoft C++ Redistributable Packages- this does not make sense to me as I already have the more recent 2012 packages, which I don't want to remove in fear of disrupting other applications I frequent that require them.

This seems to be a problem caused by ActionScript ONLY, as there was no error message when I removed the Camera and tried exporting (hence I put it here and not in General.)

Does anyone have a solution? This problem has been tearing at my sanity for 2 days now, I haven't been able to move on to other projects as I have a feeling all ActionScript documents will suffer the same fate, preventing me from using any camera, 3D or code at all. I would hate to have to move to other animation software because of this tiny error message. I can provide additional information too- any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Script to automate a repetitive task in Animate?

Hi everybody

 

In the past, Flash/Animate was used in our company to create illustrations (99% of which static illustrations with no animations at all). Time has come to convert these 600+ illustrations to Illustrator (Animate CC -> .svg -> Illustrator CC).

 

Is there a way to automate the process "publish as svg" in Animate using a script?

 

Thanks a lot for your ideas.

 

Paul
