Warnings Frame numbers in EaselJS start at 0 – HTML5 Banner Ads in Adobe Animate [17/53]

There’s a common misconception that frame numbers in Adobe Animate start at 1. This is actually not the case – frame numbers in Adobe Animate start at 0. This can be confusing for people who are used to other software, like Microsoft PowerPoint, where frame numbers start at 1.

The reason for this is because of how frames are numbered in software. In most software, including Adobe Animate, the first frame is numbered 0, the second frame is numbered 1, and so on. However, in some software, like Microsoft PowerPoint, the first frame is numbered 1, the second frame is numbered 2, and so on.

So why does Adobe Animate number frames starting at 0? It’s because of how computer programming works. In computer programming, array indexes start at 0. So when you’re programming in Adobe Animate, and you want to access the first frame, you would use an index of 0. If you wanted to access the second frame, you would use an index of 1. And so on.

This can be confusing for people who are used to other software, like Microsoft PowerPoint, where array indexes start at 1. But it’s important to remember that in Adobe Animate, array indexes start at 0.
