If you are using Flash and can successfully export a video file, then the process works. If you successfully export the video file and then later you see an error when exporting, are you exporting to the same location? Is the older video file at this location? It may be that you are trying to save a new file with the same name at a location where you don't have authorization. If you remove the original file and/or save the new video to a different name or location, does that solve the problem?
Re: Exporting from Animate to video
Re: Exporting from Animate to video
Adobe Animate does export OAM. Look in publishing settings while working on and HTML5 FLA.
Re: Exporting from Animate to video
Exporting video does require a SWF to be made. You can't export view from an HTML5 Canvas FLA. Go to the Commands menu and choose Convert To Other Document Formats in order to make an AS3 version of the animation. Then export video should work, so long as you have QuickTime installed.
Re: Escape game
I did what you said and now I have this:
Scene 1, Layer 'ActionScript', Frame 1, Line 12, Column 24 | 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute Car_mc, not addEventListener. |
Here is the code:
12-Car_mc addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, objectFound);
13-Escape_mc addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, objectFound);
14-Map_mc addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, objectFound);
15-Balloon_mc addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, objectFound);
Re: Escape game
Alpha values are 0 - 1, not 0 - 100. In one script you correctly say door_btn.addEventListener(), but in your lines 12-15 example you have a space character where the period should be.
Exporting Troubles
So I just made a little 8 second animation to try and learn how to lip sync. It went well but when trying to export it, a lot of things are going wrong.
I tried exporting to a .mov and all it gave me was the audio with a black screen and none of my work.
I tried exporting to a .swf and it didn't even give me the audio. It wouldn't play at all so I tried converting the .swf to a .mov and I got an error message.
I tried exporting to a .gif but .gif's don't exactly have any audio and audio is kind of the whole point.
So does anyone know how to correctly export it? The audio I'm using is an .mp3 file and I'm pressing "export as movie" so I don't know what's wrong so if you've got a solution I'd much appreciate it. And let me know if there's any more info you need I'll be happy to fill you in.
Re: Animate CC Error Importing MP3 Files (Mac & Win)
Animate actually converts the wav to an mp3 when publishing to HTML5. I try to keep all images vector base. All the shapes are actually all encoded in the .js file. Yes I'm going to test. Really I'm just annoyed that the Adobe FAQ guide basically says you can drag any of the listed audio file to the library "No Problem" ya… Well thanks for the help so far.
Re: Animate CC Error Importing MP3 Files (Mac & Win)
The problems I've seen are not to do with the published version, but while you're working inside the FLA. It could be that I was working with a converted FLA, where the WAVs were set to Stream in the AS3 version, I'm not sure.
Re: Exporting Troubles
Is the FLA an AS3 one? You can't export to video (which is what you want to do) with an HTML5 Canvas FLA.
You should use WAV sound when doing lip sync, with the sound set to Stream you can scrub the timeline to see how each bit of your lip sync is working. Using MP3 gives very choppy results when scrubbing.
How did you try converting a SWF to MOV?
Are you able to post the FLA online somewhere, for us to look at what's wrong with it?
Re: Exporting Troubles
The .fla is an AS3 and I tried converting it with a free online converter (I Googled "swf to mov")
I uploaded the file to my dropbox here: Dropbox - WeightRatios.fla
And thanks for the.wav tip, I was wondering why it was so choppy.
Re: Flash CC - stop animation looping
Thank you Colin,
I tried that but didnt seem to work for me? I also tried converting all elements to graphics and just doing stop(); or just having 1 movie element and putting an name and action as above but still no luck?
if anyone has a moment I have the file here:
would greatly appreciate any advice! I have run out of ideas!
Re: Exporting from Animate to video
Yes it does. There's even a button for it. And occaisionally it works! Why else would anybody bother with Animate if it didn't produce HTML5 files?
Re: Exporting from Animate to video
Sorry, I tried exporting to a new folder but that didn't work.
Re: Smoothing problems in Animate CC vs. Flash CC
I too am finding this issue. I had used Macromedia Flash for years and though it's limited the linework is beautiful compared to when I finally upgraded when Animate CC came out.
Support can you help us out? (I'm assuming @support is applicable to getting someone to notice this?)
Re: Exporting from Animate to video
Terrific-- it worked!
Re: Exporting from Animate to video
What do you mean "that didn't work"? Did you get an error, if so, was it the same error? You said in your first message that you could export a video and then, later in the process, that you encountered the error. Was there a particular point at which the error occured, can you trace it to one particular change that you made to the file?
Re: publish
I ended up by going to file, export and making it a MP4. I had been told that it should have been ,by Dreamweaver Tech., that I should do it as an OAM but could not find it. It is usable, if not correct, by Dreamweaver now
Thanks you once again for all of your help.

Re: publish
Apparently if you create an html5 doc you can publish an aom package.
Re: Exporting Troubles
Your FLA exported to video without any problems. What OS are you using, and do you have QuickTIme installed?
Doing a regular test movie also gives a SWF that has animation and sound.
Re: Flash CC - stop animation looping
When you do a test, look in the Compiler Errors panel. There are several things wrong in your frame 1 script. That will make the animation just carry on, the stop at the end won't have any effect, because the code is never reached.
