Adobe Animate Certification

The Adobe Animate Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests Adobe Animate for motion designers and animators — fundamentals and the interface (stage, timeline, layers and document types such as HTML5 Canvas), drawing and symbols (vector tools, graphic/button/movie-clip symbols, the library and instances), animation techniques (frame-by-frame, classic/motion/shape tweens, keyframes and easing), and interactivity and publishing (actions, HTML5 export and optimisation). Written to the Adobe Animate User Guide for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Adobe Animate Proficiency certificate (SOA-AA7). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Adobe Animate User Guide (Adobe) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Adobe Animate is software for creating 2D animation and interactive content. Formerly Flash Professional, it is used for cartoons, banner ads, e-learning, game art and web animation, and can publish to formats such as HTML5 Canvas, video and WebGL rather than the retired Flash Player.

A graphic symbol is a reusable static or simple animated element tied to the main timeline. A button symbol has up, over, down and hit states for interactivity. A movie clip has its own independent timeline and can be controlled with code, making it the most flexible for interactivity.
