Hi, I’ve created a simple infographic in Figma to test the features specifically I have placed clickable links to send the user to specified url’s. When using the ‘preview mode’ in the online Figma editor this works fine – so the implementation of the links should be correct. But when I use the embed code I can’t seem to click on the elements to navigate the user to the urls linked under them. I’ve tried this on my own page and on 2 embed code testing websites to be sure the issue wasn’t related to my own page.

Does anyone use Figma for financial planning? I’m looking for templates to do the following: 1. depict cash flow (including asset distributions details) more clearly than eMoney. 2. Use it for Side by Side comparisons of previous years numbers to current years update numbers.

Only when I create a combined component and try to add a “change to” interaction between them, do a few interaction triggers get disabled. On drag, while hovering, and while pressing get disabled. And if I select Mouse enter, it doesn’t work in the prototype.

I wrote a plugin that is working fine. But when I try to refactor some code into functions the same functionality stops to function. It seems that any code I place into nested async functions never return a value. I also tried the “then” syntax. Is this a known issue and how do I resolve this? In the example below async function updateElements() is an async function nested in a function that is already async. Any await figma.... does not return (so it is not just this function). This sin’t really covered in the documentation I read, for example Asynchronous Tasks | Plugin API async function updateElements() { console.log('This line appears in console, indicating the function is executed'); const colorVariable = await figma.variables.getVariableByIdAsync('VariableID:2:492'); console.log('Never get\'s here'); } figma.ui.onmessage = async (msg: { type: string, background: string, color: string }) => { if (msg.type === 'update-elements') { const colorVariable =

Hi there everyone! I’m relatively new to Figma, just finished my beginner course today and about to finish my very first project in Figma, so I’m pretty excited but that comes with a bit of frustration as well because I seem to have ran into a problem while prototyping. So I’m designing a website for mobile interface and I have quite a few buttons that should have some simple animations when clicking on it and then navigate to the next page. Most of them work, but there are two that always reveal a glitch when I view them in the prototype review. It happens suddenly so it’s not that obvious but still visible. My buttons are made of component variants and the prototyping happens between the two different variants and is set to “While pressing”. When I press the button on a seperate page without linking it to another page when clicked it works perfectly. But as soon as I place it into my design and give it another prompt “When clicked” a second before it transitions to the next page the

Hi everyone, I am trying to create a new account with Figma, but I am not receiving the email to complete my account setup. Here’s what I have tried so far: Checked my spam/junk folders. Clicked the “resend email” option several times. Attempted the process from multiple devices and browsers. Despite these efforts, the setup email never arrives. Can anyone advise what to do to resolve this issue? I would appreciate any help or guidance

Today when I logged into Figma with my free account all my files that I have worked on was gone 😦 Are the files automaticly deleted after a while when you have a free account? Or does any other had the same problem. Thanks Jimmy

Strangely, Figma has decided to not let me in the UI3 while all my co-workers have already received access. The support team refuse to help. anyone has ideas how to overcome this? Thanks

As the title says, all my files were in draft and now are now, is there any way to recover them?

I haven’t gotten it (Ui3) yet. Note that I am subscribed to the student plan

Hello guys, I need help, I’ve been trying to embed my Figma prototype into Behance but kept saying not valid.

When I export from Figma to .png, then try to bring them into Unity, the results often contain artefacts. This is mostly when I export things with glows + drop shadows. If I build the exact same UI elements in Adobe Illustrator, the .png exports perfectly. (Will post images once I have access to my PC)

I have a component with multiple variants for the static state and hover states. On hover, I want the hover state to appear in a different place than where it is appearing on my screen - when it fades in, it falls off the frame. Is there a way to control the hover state position?

My colleague, who has had his Figma profile for less than a year, has gotten a UI3 update. I have had my account since 2017, have been an active Figma user, and have specifically added myself to the waitlist, but I still need an update. He is a product manager and doesn’t use Figma daily; however, I am a product designer, and my day is spent with this tool. I’m sorry if this sounds childish, but I’m really frustrated. Can someone please explain why I haven’t received the update?

How can generate prints for clothers? If i want to generate prints similar like my, it’s really doing in Figma?

I am trying to achieve this specific layered scrolling animation effect but I cant find any similar tutorials or information online as I don’t know the name of the effect. urbanvillageproject.com When each section ends, there is an effect where the next section is directly underneath. Does anyone have any information on how I could achieve this? Thanks so much for your time, Jack

When I’m trying to manually resize the container frame (using cmd+alt), which contains 4 different frames with an elements inside of it. These elements start moving chaotically, leaving the parent frame and ignoring the constraints of it, for some reason the main frame size is effecting the position of these elements, but they shouldn’t move. Before: After: What is happening here? Did Figma change the shortcut or behavior again? – test fileFigma – 19 Aug 24

I’ve encountered an issue while working with the Figma Comments API, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar or has insights to share. The Problem When fetching comment data, I sometimes receive a null value for the client_meta field in the API response. This occurs inconsistently, making it challenging to rely on this field for certain functionalities in my application. Example Response Here’s a sanitized example of a comment object where client_meta is null: { "id": "XXXXXXXXX", "uuid": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "file_key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "parent_id": "XXXXXXXXX", "user": { "handle": "John Doe", "img_url": "https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?size=240&default=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-alpha.figma.com%2Fstatic%2Fuser_s_v2.png", "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" }, "created_at": "2024-XX-XXT11:13:04.947Z", "resolved_at": null, "message": "Sample comment message", "reactions": [], **"client_meta": n

Hey there, I’m a long-time Figma user and all these years I’m suffering from a UX decision the Figma team made on how new elements are added into frames. All I want to do is to add an element to an existing frame but in most cases when that frame already has other nested frames or groups it would place the new item inside one of those frames instead of just adding it to the parent. It always adds the frame to the child frame that exists in the spot where I click-to-add, instead of adding it to the selected parent. Is there really no way to just add a new element to the parent frame either at the very top or the very bottom, or at least in a random place? A shortcut would be even better. But being able to add a frame exactly to the parent frame I need it to be added to is crucial. It takes so much time to move elements out of nested illustrations and groups and it ruins the workflow and the whole experience for me.

One of my collaborators and I both tried to create a new data type in Main, but after clicking Create nothing happened. We are on a paid plan and have many other data types. We already contacted support, but wondering if anyone else is having the same issue?
