I used to love Flash as a kid. I just tried this out and ran into a few snags. I completed the mini tutorial which was pretty slick and clicked "Menu -> Preview" and it just showed the first frame of the animation (static pig). I was expecting a preview of the animation. I then attempted to export a gif and got a hard error. "Oops! Something went wrong." Standard MacBook 15" using Chrome/Ventura.

You need to change the 'Start on layout' property of the timeline to make sure it plays in preview. I think our guided tour should include that though, so I'll see about updating that.

Not sure why that error happened when exporting a GIF - I just tried it and it's working here (Chrome/Windows). Could you copy and paste the error message and send it to me at ashley@construct.net? I'll see if I can figure it out from that.

That makes sense, thanks! Will send you the details
