Opening CS6 files using Animate
Workarounds for other dropped features
If you've noticed missing features in Adobe Animate, here is a list of dropped features, along with some possible workarounds.

Rationale for deprecation |
Possible workarounds |
Future plans |
Motion Editor |
Motion Editor was complex, buggy, and did not perform optimally. |
Download and use this third-party tool as a workaround for the Motion Editor. |
Adobe is investigating a better approach to replace the Motion Editor functionality. |
FXG export |
FXG export used a 32-bit library in Flash CS6, and hence, could not be used with Animate, which is a 64-bit application. | You can extend Animate to export vector graphics to SVG using third-party extensions such as SVG.jsfl available at this location. |
Adobe is exploring open web standards (such as SVG) to facilitate content roundtripping workflows between Animate and Illustrator |
Projectors |
|
Adobe recommends the use of AIR publishing for desktop and mobile applications where projectors are needed. You can also use third-party SWF-to-app converters such as SWF to EXE. |
