[_] Question inside. Anonymous 08/15/17(Tue)20:27:47 No.3272857
Decided to start making some shitty flashes before adobe kills it off, so I acquired adobe
animate because I heard it could do all the things that old flash programs could and then some,
but there doesn't seem to be any option to make a flash project. Do I just set it up as a HTML5
project / action script project and then export it as flash or something, or do I need to go and
pirate an older version of flash instead?
Tried googling it but all the adobe help pages are next to useless and mostly marketing speak
about how great it is that it can make shitty HTML5 web advertisements.

click on Action Script 3 under the Create New column
then when you're done you click on File and Export movie... or hit shift+ctrl+alt+S
that should save it as .swf

OK, thanks for the help mate. For whatever reason they really don't seem to want to be clear and
say that it's just the same old flash.
>>3272862
I prefer to learn from the elite pajeet who uses the designated shitting street.

Pajeet makes Girl Games flashes for 3 rupees apiece. Not credible mentorship.

I couldn't tell you about Animate CC, as I use Flash CS6 and refuse to play ball with
subscriptions to failware that will quickly overrun the price of a permanent local license for
the monolith application..
Just pie rat CS6 and get elite. Easy peasy.

OP here, reporting back in, as of this moment I am convinced that adobe is run by Satan (well
moreso than I already was) and that ActionScript only works for those who offer up blood
sacrifices.
Can't even get the damn thing to fucking loop part of the timeline and not a single answer stolen
from help forums seems to do jack shit. Guess I'll listen to this anon >>3272878 and just pirate
an earlier version of Flash pro and see if they are easier to work with, because fuck me if this
isn't needlessly complicated as it is.

well, can you post what you got so maybe we can see what's giving you the shits?
Flash isn't the lowest learning curve, after all.
You're probably just having babby's first flash headache. :^)

click a keyframe and add the following code in the ActionScript window:
gotoAndPlay(3);
when the timeline reaches the keyframe it will immediately go back and play from frame 3.
...im of course assuming you can still edit ActionScript in Adobe Animate. since code isn't part
of their bright new future of dumb video files without preloaders or flexible timelines maybe
they removed it

Go to the last frame you want of the loop and put the following in the actionscript:
gotoAndPlay(156);
Replace 156 with whichever frame you want it to loop back to.
This at least works in Macromedia Flash Professional 8 which is like 100 years old, might not
work in new fangled flash.

1)NOT JUST ANY OLD KEYFRAME, Actionscript needs to be in its own keyframe on a separate layer.
You can't share a frame with objects.
2)Flash 8 is a dinosaur without many familiar features and running Actionscript2.
ISHYGDDT
3)why all the code? a bare flash will naturally loop by default. Add control code only if you
want to do something special like looping a specific portion of the movie, or implementing a
preloader, etc.

I use CS3. Thought Flash MX has the best vector drawing. But CS3 is pretty fast and good too and
has good extension options. Also I highly recomment AS2 over AS3 unless you wanna develope
something HUGE like a OS or something. Coding in AS2 is much faster and muuuch more efficient and
solid. AS3 is only good if you work with a team.

i remember you, sorry but you're still wrong about AS3 mate. i wouldnt recommend anyone to learn
AS2 today.

OP here, sorry for not replying, I assumed this would die so I started fucking around in CS6 and
got distracted.
>>3272952
No idea actually. I was trying to do stop(); so that animation layer one (a tower) would stop at
the end of it's tweening. For whatever reason it simply did not work, nor did other commands like
goto.
Tried it on Flash CS6 and it worked like a charm, so maybe some difference in implementation
between AnimateCC and old versions? Fuck if I know.

This.
>>3273019
It has limited classes and is very memory-inefficient, among other problems. It also doesn't
support more advanced features of Flash we take for granted. That's why it was completely
reinvented as Actionscript 3.

wow, they ruined actionscript in adobe animate? i hope you just were unable to find the right
place to do it or something because that sounds too terrible
>>3273019
i cant really describe it well but as3 works more like a modern object oriented language should.
if you know as3 you could learn java and c# very fast, if you know as2 java and c# will seem like
a mystery

>tfw you learned OOP through Delphi object pascal
I'd say learn C/C++ together, side by side so you get the syntax and can appreciate the
fundamental differences in their approach to object management... Java, Javascript, Actionscript,
etc will flow like water for you after that.
