installation

directly

<script src="adobe-animate-embed.min.js"></script>

library

npm install adobe-animate-embed

import aae from 'adobe-animate-embed';

usage

first create an animation in adobe animate of type html5 canvas and publish the animation with the default values into e.g. /data/animation1/. for more information look at this blog article.

now prepare an empty container:

<div class="anim1"></div>

instantiate the animation by referencing the js file from the folder created above:

let a1 = new aae(
    document.querySelector('.anim1'), // dom element, where the animation should be instantiated
    '/data/animation1/animation1.js' // url to the js file; can be an absolute or relative link
);

it's time to run the animation:

a1.start();

by default the loop setting from the publish settings is used. however, you can change this dynamically:

a1.start(true); // run in loop
a1.start(false); // run once

you even can rewind an animation and play it backwards:

a1.start(null, false); // run forwards
a1.start(null, true); // run backwards

start immediately starts the animation. however, you can also show only the first frame:

a1.start(null, null, false); // no autoplay
a1.resume();

you can manually adjust the speed of an animation:

a1.start(null, null, null, 2); // play at double speed

often you want an animation to play when hovering an element and rewind when unhovering.\ the library provides a handy shortcut for that:

a1.hover();

you can stop, pause or destroy the animation at any time:

a1.stop();
a1.pause();
a1.destroy();

caveats

• easing functions such as "elastic" are not cleanly supported by Animate CC after the export
