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?

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?

I dont know why every time i copy the embed code and put it in behance it gives me invalid code could anyone help me?

I’m creating some icons with a base resolution of 1024 x 1024. Each icon design variation is created as its own component at 1024px. Then, I have some components which contain those icons where those icons are scaled to different sizes depending on the treatment. (60px, 72px, etc.) In order to maintain the icon design at various scales, I use the scaling tool accessed via the ‘k’ key. From within the main component (non instances) I can then swap the scaled icon for any other icon component and the scaling applied by the ‘k’ tool is maintained. However, when creating instances of the component, and then attempting to swap the inner icon instance in exactly the same way as I do within the parent instance, scaling is NOT maintained. I’ve attached a video which demonstrates the issue: https://imgur.com/F2wLXJd In the video, I’ve created two example icons. The first icon contains a series of grey capsules which should be scaled. The second icon is exactly the same but with yellow capsules.

When I preview my animations, other elements (such as text) move around slightly during the animation which is very distracting and looks unprofessional. All of my frames are copy-paste, so there isn’t any spacing differences between animation frames with elements that are not animated. Any idea on how to fix this? Eventually, I want to record the animation flows to display on my portfolio and I want it to look as clean as possible. Screen recording: screen-recorder-wed-apr-05-2023-13-26-06.webm on Vimeo

How to make font size responsive?

Maybe i’m missing something but I can’t find a way for our developers to select all instances or variants of a component when in dev mode. The method as an editor isn’t available, any ideas on a work around? Thanks!

I know this question has been answered by the community before, but I didn’t quite understand the solutions, which were very brief. I’m very new to Figma, but pretty good at Photoshop so I am really digging the animations. I am trying to create the circle text animation as seen on https://andtea.com/ . I watched a YouTube video and was able to create the circle text with no issue. I was able to test it in preview mode before I made a component. Once once I made it a component I was able to test it in play mode, with no issue. The issue came when I tried to take that same component instance and move it into a frame. Can someone please explain to me what am I not doing? Thank you in advance

Hello All, I’m developing, and marketing, a plugin and was wondering whether anybody knows how Figma choses which plugins are trending or how certain resources are picked to become featured. Does anybody have any data or resources that could help gain us some insights on the “community algorithm” ? Florian - Weavely AI

Hi everyone, My problem is a bit hard to explain in words, so I’ll just show you a quick screen recording to make you understand: drive.google.com As you can see when I change one dropdown menu all the other dropdown menus change their values as well. I understand why it does this, but is there a way to make each dropdown menu have their own individual settings. Or would you really have to create a different component for each dropdown menu? Thanks for helping me out! Noah (UI designer)

I want to scale this frame with all layers proportionally without autolayout etc. I have tried the scale tool (K), but the layers seem to scale weirdly. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I ploughed through existing posts but I’m still confused about this: I have a layout grid on a frame. When I draw a new rectangle it snaps perfectly to the grid. After drawing the rect when I move the sides they still snap. But when I turn the rect into a closed vectorline through a double click, the corner vertices refuse to snap to the grid. Is that normal behaviour?

Still not able to use the updated Figma UI3 version

Hi all, I’m a complete newbie in Figma. I have to put some text on spiral path. I can do this: the spiral, I draw with Shaper plugin and then I use To Path plugin to set the text on the spiral. All is well, except after I can’t adjust neither my spiral parameters, nor the space between letters which become independent objects. It’s boring as I can’t foresee how it would look like before! Can anybody help me, please? For example, I change font-size from 36px to 20px, it’s ok, but I’d like to make the spiral curls narrower that it would look good. And here I fail ((
