"AdobeAn is not defined" errors when trying to test in a browser.

[Kutenai8]

When I try to test the movie (it's an flash file converted to HTML5) I get "AdobeAn is not defined" errors when trying to test in a browser. I've tried different movies with the same effect. Is there a simple fix for this? It complains about this line:

var comp=AdobeAn.getComposition("4EB76E079FBC4384212317D6674DBBC1");

Here's a larger snippet:

<snip>

})(createjs = createjs||{}, AdobeAn = AdobeAn||{});

var createjs, AdobeAn;

</script>

<script>

var canvas, stage, exportRoot, anim_container, dom_overlay_container, fnStartAnimation;

function init() {

canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");

anim_container = document.getElementById("animation_container");

dom_overlay_container = document.getElementById("dom_overlay_container");

var comp=AdobeAn.getComposition("4EB76E079FBC4384212317D6674DBBC1");

var lib=comp.getLibrary();

var loader = new createjs.LoadQueue(false);

......</snip>

Anyone have this problem?

Is that the ONLY error message you're getting? Nothing preceding it?

[Kutenai8]

Good question. Actually there is another error. I didn't realize it was occurring before, so that's very likely the problem. You'll see below the line (lib. seems to be missing a name after the dot. I'm not sure what would cause this.

<snip>

this.shape_122.graphics.f("#F7F290").s().p("ADKJLIg4AIIjlgrIjMg5QjNg4gDACQgEADgUiRIBajZIgHhbIAihxIAyhBIgaidQgBgDAVgjIAVgjIAhhYIBdgdIBcgtICeAMIB4gnICoB0IB6AZIA3A+IAJCcIgZCGIAgCKIjnJGg");

this.shape_122.setTransform(52,60.7);

this.timeline.addTween(cjs.Tween.get({}).to({state:[]}).to({state:[{t:this.shape_122},{t:this.shape_121},{t:this.shape_120}]},1).wait(3));

}).prototype = p = new cjs.MovieClip();

p.nominalBounds = new cjs.Rectangle(3.5,5.3,104.7,111.5);

(lib. = function(options) {

this._element = new $.(options);

this._el = this._element.create();

var $this = this;

this.addEventListener('added', function() {

$this._lastAddedFrame = $this.parent.curre

</snip>

That's the library definition for a component. The component internal name should be after "lib.", e.g. "lib.an_Checkbox = function(options)".

So you've somehow corrupted one of your components.

This is happening to all of my flash files that I "Convert to other document formats" into HTML Canvas. I'm not making any changes to it. I'll have to try to figure out what it's having problems converting and then report it to support as a possible bug.

I figured it out. There was a preloader movieclip which was causing the problem I deleted it and it's working. Thanks!

Can you elaborate a little?  Can you not use preloadjs or was there something wrong with a specific use of a preloader?

Just so you know, the AdobeAn error will come up a lot if an earlier error prevented it from initializing correctly. If you see it again, ignore it and look for the earlier error that ClayUUID mentioned in message 2.

In a sense his answer was the correct one, though your one said exactly what the earlier error was caused by. I've marked his one as Helpful, as a compromise!
