To include an animation created in Adobe Animate CC on a website built with Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Publish your animation: Export your Adobe Animate CC animation as an HTML5 Canvas document, which will generate the necessary HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files needed to display the animation on your website.

  2. Upload the files: Upload the exported files to a hosting platform or server, so they can be accessible online. You can use any hosting service or your own server to achieve this.

  3. Copy the embed code: Once the files are uploaded, copy the embed code provided by Adobe Animate CC. This code will be used to embed the animation on your website.

  4. Add a custom code embed element in Webflow: In your Webflow project, add a custom code embed element to the page where you want to display the animation. You can find the custom code embed element under the Add Elements panel in the Designer.

  5. Paste the embed code: Open the settings of the custom code embed element, and paste the embed code provided by Adobe Animate CC into the embed code field. Make sure to paste the code within the <script> tags.

  6. Adjust the size and position: Resize and position the custom code embed element on your page to fit the dimensions of your animation. You can use Webflow's built-in styling options to adjust the size and position of the element.

  7. Publish your Webflow site: After making sure that your animation is properly embedded and styled, publish your Webflow site to make your animated content accessible to your website visitors.

By following these steps, you can successfully include an animation created in Adobe Animate CC on a website built with Webflow. Remember to optimize your animation files for web delivery to ensure speed and performance.
