What happened to these frames

So I'm brand new to Adobe animate and I was trying to drag the frames around to rearrange them and instead this happened and it gave me a yellow line next to the frame and when I tried to control z my way back it wouldn't go past this point, can someone tell me how to reverse this and what this is and how do I rearrange the frames, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm new to this 🥲

Canvas scaling issue

I have been having a persistent issue regarding the scaling of my canvas in an HTML Canvas project. The document is set to 1800x800 px, but when I test it, it opens in the browser at 1620x720.

In addition, I’ve had all sorts of issues with finding the locations of things on the canvas. Things like finding the location of the center of the screen, local to global position translation, placing an object at the location of a mouseclick— none of it works correctly. It often seems offset by some amount and it seems that the issues could be caused by the canvas scaling.

In the example of finding the center of the screen, I’ve found that canvas.width and canvas.height do not work correctly, but lib.properties.width and lib.properties.height do work correctly. Maybe that is a clue?

I am quite new to Adobe Animate and I might just be doing things incorrectly, but I was hoping that there was some well-known issue here that can be fixed.

Any help would be appreciated.

3 Months after the Incident, is there a proper replacement?

So, 3 months after the whole Animate incident, do we have any news about the replacements currently in development? Which ones seem the most promising so far? I remember that TimTom was trying to create something, and Flare looked promising.

I cancelled my subscription, and it will end for good on 20/5. I honestly wouldn’t mind paying around 20 euros per month since this is a program that I genuinely adore. However, seeing how Adobe no longer plans to properly update it and instead uses my money to improve their AI crap or their other apps such as after spaghetti it just pushes me away more and more, and I don’t want to support that.

I found replacements for most of Adobe apps that I use, but Animate is the only one that I still haven’t found a proper alternative. All the replacements either lack important features or are more complex for no reason.

Help

Hiiiii I am very new to animate cc and dont currently own a drawing tablet but I searched up alternatives and came across apps like Easycanvas and astrostudio which can turn an iPad into a makeshift drawing tablet so I wanted an opinion about them and if I can use it in place of an drawing tablet and if you have worked on either apps which one of the two is a good choice to go for???

Hi I was looking to get into adobe animate (I'm a newbie) I just migrated from live2d and I have some standards that came from it that I'm wondering if they can be applied in adobe animate?

standards:

  • PSD import with my layers in the same positions as I drew them 
  • Draw order
  • Clipping (for raster) 
  • Meshing (for raster but with individual points so I can deform it not just a mesh and I have to put bones on the mesh because I’ve tried it and it never worked with what I was trying to animate) ) 
  • Layer hierarchy and being able to parent 
  • Rotation points (I’m fine with using bones for this) 
  • Objects following other objects as they deform with the mesh (like a head turn where the eyes follow the head but with a separate mesh so I can make something like blinking) 
  • Layers for characters and putting them on background assets

 

for context I'm working on a passion project: an animated film with cinematic scenes and after trying live2d there's lots of features I like but some features I didn't like that stopped me from making cinematic scenes and I'm not sure if Adobe is a better program

Animate/Flash Keeps Corrupting Files

I started to use Flash cs6 to learn more about it, but eventually it started corrupting my animatic files. they weren't long or complicated, but someone in a server said it might've been my pencil settings. I accepted it and, deciding to avoid it entirely, moved to Animate. But it's doing the same thing. I have one file that was almost completed, so I saved it under a new name and didn't touch either file. Now the renamed one gives me an error message, but the OG one is fine. I have another file that's only a few frames of animatic, and that one is now giving me the same thing. I now assume these problems have something to do with my computer and not the software, as the version of Animate I have is provided by my school. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
