Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hi! I use Animate cc in conjunction with greensock to develope banners and animation. In Animate cc 19.1 there looks to be a bug or change in code that affects how nested animations work in symbols. Used to be able to do this: tl.to([this.sym1.sym2],1,{x:"-=500"},"+=0"); Moves sym2 inside sym1 500 pixels. Making a new animation in "19.1" this no longer works. However opening a file in "19.1" made in version "18.whatever" this still works. If possible please confirm behaviour. Or perhaps there is a better way of targeting nested symbols.

Share Posted February 13, 2019 yup. in Animate 19 Advanced Layers is a feature with turns layers into movie clips. So if Advanced Layers is turned on, everything in a layer is wrapped in another Movie Clip. This is cool because it allows you to add filters and color effects to everything in an entire layer... but uncool because it breaks your code 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Despite having access to the full suite of Adobe apps I still only use Photoshop CS6. I was literally considering uninstalling it just yesterday. Think I'll hang on for a bit...

Share Posted February 13, 2019 Apparently it is for live preview of your font, but I'd rather preview with my own text. Also you no longer hold down shift to constrain proportions when you scale. Try unlearning that muscle memory from years of doing that. Now it is opposite. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Can it be targeted by code? Link to post Share on other sites
Share Posted February 13, 2019 yes, you just need to add the layer name to the path (according to adobe: https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/using/timeline-layers.html#advanced-layers) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
