Hi! I’m having trouble with these website pages:Drop down menus in 2nd and 3rd screens (see file) open up behind the activity list although the lists are lower in the layers panel. Don’t understand why on the first screen the drop down menu works fine and doesn’t affect the auto layout of other elements on the page while it’s placed on the top of the layers panel?     Can’t get the page to scroll normally, showing all the activities, despite there being an overflow and me selecting to scroll vertically. When trying to change the frame of the activities, auto layout doesn’t let me to crop the frame (see picture n.2)     Is there a way for me to make the pages change to another page after someone selects a specific option in the drop down menu? Is that something that is possible to prototype?  Thank you <3file  

Вітаю! Я тільки почала працювати у Figmi, але в мене виникла проблема зі збереденям файлу, чомусь зберігаються не всі елементи, підскажить будласка, що мені робити ?

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to Figma, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. However, I’ve run into an issue with the hover interaction. I've used it throughout my project without any problems, but now, any new components I create with a hover state are flickering when hovered over. It's confusing because the same interaction has worked fine until now. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? I'd really appreciate any help! (Attaching a gif for better understanding) 

I am trying to make recordings of me navigating through my prototypes so that I can upload it to my site. One recording will be a single scroll through a long page, and the rest is a multi-page prototype with clicking involved. What is the best way of doing this?I was trying to use quicktime on Mac to record  my screen while I scroll through the single long page manually. Although I start at the top of the prototype when scrolling, the recording cuts off the top of the page and makes it appear as if I’ve scrolled about 400px down from the top of the page - which does not match what I saw at the time of recording. Can anyone assist with this?

Hello storytellers,I would like to add a lottie animation into my figma sites. Anyway I could achieve this ? 

Hello!I’m trying to create plugin for Figma. I use React + ESbuilder. I have src and dist folders. My index.html contains:<div id="root"></div><script src="ui.js"></script>The problem is that plugin doesn’t see (or what?) ui.js. When I start plugin I see only empty screen.If I write JS code exactly in script tag — it works. But with external file it doesn’t work. There are no errors anywhere.What should I do to solve this?

Hi there, I try to modify texts in a variant of my « Select » component instance. I choose the « Open » state in the component properties menu, and when it is open I write « Text » in the first item. I put back the « Default State », I switch to the prototype mode, and when I click on the component, I see the old text of the master component. How do I keep editing texts in a select open in an instance component?You can see a video capture below :  

Hi everyone,I use Figma on the web, my macOS version is Sequoia 15.4.1. I have installed the Figma Agent and it said I can use local fonts on the web, but this is not working. I tried everything from clearing cache, restarting computer, refreshing page but Figma still doesn’t show the fonts under “Installed by You”. I also have the latest google chrome version. I can’t see the fonts in an existing Figma project and also not if I create a new file. Other programs on my mac like Adobe Illustrator show all fonts without an issue.Any solutions? Thank You!  

Hello there, A tricky one: Is it intentional that when I use the GET /v1/files/:file_key/variables/local API I can get a response that contains an alias pointing to a variable that is not part of the response itself? ... "valuesByMode": { "XXXX:X": { "type": "VARIABLE_ALIAS", "id": "VariableID:XXXXX/XXXX:XXX" //<- This id is nowhere else mentioned in the response. }, ... Thank you!

Is it possible to use Figma Make AI to create the initial design and then open it in Figma Design to further customize and make changes? Not sure if it’s possible to import the React code or if there is a way to change to file into something that is compatible. 

For the purpose of iteration and seeing changes I did overtime for a project, I like to duplicate a page every time I improved a lot of items. However, I noticed this bug where some components would be treated as new components on the new page, and some remain as an instance from the old page!! This is driving me crazy because  it’s really messing with everything I’ve created. I’ve read an old post saying that I can work around it by copying everything to a new file, then post it back to the old file on a new page. This didn’t do anything… Even in the new file, there would still be instances that take me back to the original component of the old FILE!! Is this how it’s supposed to be or am I doing something wrong? It would ask me to restore the component too. How do you all keep copies of your iterated works for record keeping? Do you just start a new file when you iterate and improve something? 

Figma Buzz looks promising, congrats on the release!I’m curious if its features or functions are available to integrate with third-party plugins for Figma.  Is it possible to invoke any aspect of its functionality or behavior via the current developer API?Thanks!

Hi folks!I am an Angular 19 developer and I want to use all designs, controls and screens built by my colleague in Figma with the M3 library kit. All styles, schemes, background colors (or other colors etc.) refer to the correspondent M3 schemes and colors. Currently I am using a plugin in Figma to export all variables. My question: Based on given export file format (CSS or SCSS)… How to use these variables in Angular/Material3 on development side?

I have a file that contains main components, and in that same file I’m using children of these components as nested components (e.g. component 1 = button, component 2 = card containing button). I created a branch via the branching feature of Figma. However, in this branch, child components and main components lose connection. I change the button, but changes are not visible on the button in the card. The child component still refers to the main component in the main file. Is this supposed to be like that? How am I supposed to test changes to components like this? Right now I would have to make the changes to the button in the main file instead of the branch, which is exactly what I want to prevent by branching. Am I missing something here?

I'm using an icon from the Bootstrap icon library in our project. Some of the icons appear to use boolean operations, and we're unable to change their color in their instance. When we check the vector layer panel, it shows "Update boolean operation," but clicking it doesn't have any effect.

Hello community,I was wondering if it is possible (either natively or through a plugin some of you may have come across) to select all component instances on a page based on a specific component property?For example, suppose I have a button component with different "size" variants. One size property is called "desktop" and the other is called "mobile". I want to select only the instances with the "desktop" property.How would I go about doing this? I couldn't find any specific plugin on my own that could help me do this, so I thought I would ask here since someone else may have come across this specific need and solved it.

I’d like to grab an existing site from Github and use it as the foundations for Figma Make. How do I do this?

Hi!I’m having an issue with my hover and scroll behavior. I’m currently trying to create a button that will highlight on hover. However, when I get the highlight to work, I’m unable to scroll when my mouse is over the button. If I move it off the button, I’m able to scroll again.The component I’m using for the hover is not under the “Scrolls” section, because if I drag the layer there, the highlight no longer works.   How do I make my button highlight while also being able to scroll when my mouse is hovering over it? You can view the prototype here to understand the issue better:  

 Hello Figma Community,I am enthusiastic about Figma and it's new features, Figma Buzz for example. I would like to introduce Figma Buzz to my colleagues, but I am not completely sure if it is suitable for what we as a company want to do with it: create large, high-resolution posters for events.I'd like to find out if  (high resolution) files made in & exported from Figma Buzz (often .pdf) are good enough quality to hand off to a professional printing house. Does an exported high resolution PDF in CMYK color format, meet the output format requirements for large-scale printing?Are the raster image handling and (PDF) export options in Figma Buzz specifically for high-resolution print good enough, or still developing?Thanks a lot in advance!Marinske. 

Hi, I’m wondering if any sites I publish with Figma Sites while on full seat will remain live online after I downgrade the plan. I’m assuming it will just not let me make any edits and publish new edits after downgrading, is that correct?
