Dependencies

React
CreateJS – add this to your page <script src="https://code.createjs.com/1.0.0/createjs.min.js"></script>
Your animation – add .js file exported from Adobe Animate to page with <script> tag

How to use

index.html

In your index.html file you should import CreateJS and any other animation js file. Note that this should be done before import of your main jsx file to ensure that they are loaded before React script is executed.

App.tsx

react-adobe-animate exposes a AnimateCC component used to render the animation. For more details on the props passed to the component please see Props.

import { useState } from "react";
import { AnimateCC, GetAnimationObjectParameter } from "react-adobe-animate";

const App = () => {
  const [paused, setPaused] = useState(true);
  const [animationObject, getAnimationObject] = useState<GetAnimationObjectParameter|null>(null);
  const onClick = () => setPaused(!paused);

  console.log(animationObject);

  return (
    <div style={{ width: "400px" }}>
      <AnimateCC
        animationName="lishtml5"
        getAnimationObject={getAnimationObject}
        paused={paused}
      />

      <AnimateCC
        animationName="lishtml5"
        composition="C1475B64B160904BB90B34246A5FF54B"
        paused={paused}
      />

      <button onClick={onClick}>{paused ? "Unpause" : "Pause"}</button><br />
    </div>
  );
};

Next.js

To use the component with Next.js you have to include CreateJS and Animate files (you have to put those into public folder first) with the Script component.

For detailed example see examples/next/pages/index.tsx.

Props

Prop name	Type	Required	Description
animationName	string	true	Name of animation (`exportRoot = new lib.animationName();` in js file. There the name is `(lib.animationName = function`. Also usually name of published file)
composition	string	false	If you have two animations with same name you can specify an id of that animation. You can get it from .html file generate by Adobe Animate (`var comp=AdobeAn.getComposition("C1475B64B160904BB90B34246A5FF54B");`)
getAnimationObject	function	false	It is fired after component was mounted. It takes 1 argument – animation object that enables you to fire functions created in Adobe Animate
paused	boolean	false	Whether an animation should be paused
onError	function	false	Function called whenever an error is thrown inside the component

All other props will be passed to div surrounding canvas

FAQ

How do I insert animations published from the same file?

Unfortunately it isn't possible to export from Adobe Animate two unique animations. However you can make one! Simply replace all occurrences of composition id inside your .js file of an animation to one created by you. Composition id is this long string in var comp=AdobeAn.getComposition("C1475B64B160904BB90B34246A5FF54B"); found in .html file published by Adobe Animate.
