I’m trying to use @aws-sdk/client-s3 in my Figma Plugin to upload an exported page as a PNG, but I’m receiving a “Unexpected token .” in the console when running the plugin. I think this happens when trying to instantiate the S3 client. I assumed because this package can be included in the browser, it would be possible to import this into my Figma plugin, but maybe my assumption is wrong. Here’s my setup: manifest.json { "name": "<redacted>", "id": "<redacted>", "api": "1.0.0", "main": "dist/code.js", "capabilities": [], "enableProposedApi": false, "editorType": [ "figma" ], "networkAccess": { "allowedDomains": [ "*" ], "reasoning": "Do what I want", "devAllowedDomains": ["http://localhost:6069"] }, "documentAccess": "dynamic-page" } webpack.config.js const path = require('path'); const webpack = require('webpack'); module.exports = (env, argv) => ({ mode: argv.mode === 'production' ? 'production' : 'development', /

I have made a component with 2 variants that has an animation between the 2 variants, but if i place it in the main parent frame of my website layout with giving it position fixed, it will disappear from the prototype preview. also, what i really need is a way to make this component sticky, but relative to the bottom of the viewport - i dont know of any way to do this, theres a setting to make it stick to the top of the viewport, but not for what i need. are there any solutions for these issues?

I have built a prototype out and when I play it on desktop it works fine. This prototype has a video background. When I play it on the mobile app, the videos are lagging on load causing a flashing effect. This makes the transition pretty janky. I have confirmed I’m on the latest update of app and OS, layers are named the same and in the same order. How can I fix the flashing videos on transitions?

Hi there, I tried to make a button bar interaction but i don’t know how to prototype it- I’m a bit stuck, what do I do next?  Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I embedded my first prototype in Figma Slides. It added the file easily enough. But I have 3 different flows in the prototype. I’m trying to queue up flow 2 or 3 but when I go to present it always shows the first flow. There’s a dropdown under Interaction in the right toolbar to choose any of the flows in the Slides interface. But it always presents the first flow no matter which flow I choose in that dropdown.

I noticed the Framework event went over using gradients being accessible as a variable, but I’m wondering if I missed a detail on when that would available? I’ve refreshed my Figma desktop app and checked for updates and I haven’t seen anything that allows me to attach a gradient to a variable. Anyone have any guidance? PS: I am only interested in the native solution, not 3P plugins.

I need to export the images as they are, unchanged.Please add option to disable “Image resampling" when exporting. For the whole project, for all experts in it by default. 

On desktop I usually zoom in/out fluidly using cmd/ctrl+scroll. I was disappointed to learn this combination is not working on the new iPad Pro Magic Keyboard. Everything else in the Figma browser app works great on iPad except this one thing, and it’s a huge part of my workflow! Pressing Ctrl/Cmd +/- to zoom each time is pretty annoying.  I see other posts asking for pinch zoom with trackpad, which is probably harder to implement on a iPad browser. Surely implementing Cmd+scroll can’t be that hard, can it?

Dear Figma Community, I am facing a major issue with syncing components in a Figma file, and I’m hoping someone here can help me out. I have a file that is not syncing properly when I make updates to the component library. Specifically, when I publish changes, the review changes prompt appears, but when I click “Update,” not all instances of the component are updated. This is happening for multiple components. After some investigation, I noticed that in the libraries for the current file area, the component library I’m using keeps getting unchecked. This is a significant problem because both the library and the file I’m working on are quite massive and complex, so creating new files is not really an option. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this issue, but nothing seems to be working. If anyone has experienced a similar problem or has any suggestions for how to fix it, please share your insights. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

So, I just received the Educational plan for Figma, and now have a team with Educational preferences. I e-mailed Figma in the past on how to create projects within the Educational plan, where students cannot see or edit each others work. They e-mailed me back that I could either create ‘invite-only’ projects or ‘view-only’ projects. (see step 4 picture:)However, I cannot seem to  get this option when creating a team (See picture below). I tried emailing again, but now I get the response that I only have a ‘starter account’ and can only contact through Community Support Forum, therefore I'm reaching out here :) Can someone help me with this? With the educational plan I should have the same options as the professional plan. However, I don't seem to get those.. So, is it not possible for me then? Or does anyone have another option on how the students can create projects within the educational team, that other students cannot see or edit these projects? Thanks in advance!

I want to know if there are more detailed animation properties documented for Figma animation styles (i.e bezier curve specs). I was able to get some details on the “dissolve” animation style in Figma using dev mode (see below). Any additional info akin to the dev specs found on web dev common css animations would be great. Thanks! // On click // Open overlay: “Frame 1391”; // Animate: Dissolve; // Spring: { mass: 1, stiffness: 675, damping: 30 };

Your latest update broke images in a very important file and may have put a project in jeopardy. You forced this update on us. Now I have multiple broken image files that CANNOT be replaced. They appear as translucent rectangles that cannot be selected for more than a couple of seconds before disappearing. Too bad Adobe axed their offering. I am no longer an evangelist and feel forced to use your tool. Additionally, you uninstalled ALL of my plugins so as soon as another tool becomes adopted by the industry I am out. You cost me money.  I have been customer since you launched, but will not be the first chance I get. Hopefully Protopie or Framer catches on quicker.

i changed the color of the text which belongs to the table and color doesn’t change at all when it comes to the template colori think color style doesn’t work inside the tablethe color of the text only changes when it’s a raw color code, not a template-styled color.please help me , figma slide! 

Hi guys, I’m trying to export my product design portfolio as a PDF file. My entire portfolio is 75 slides and has a 229 images. Whenever I try to export my portfolio as a PDF Figma crashes. I have tried using different devices but none of them managed to export it. Does anyone have a solution?

I’ve used many programs/apps and I find that Figma’s PDF exports are always so large—even after using plugins to compress them. Example: Two page PDF document with only text, simple svgs icons, and two colours. No raster images, gradients, or effects. Super basic document. Figma export 9.5MB TinyImage compression 2.2MB Compressify.io compression 2.2MB I would expect this PDF to be no larger than 1MB in the first place. What is going on here? The only possible factor I can imagine is the maybe the canvas size (1130x1600px), but I doubt it because everything in the PDF export are text/vectors. Any help?

Hi! I used a professional plan with monthly payments, but now I have decided to pay for a year in advance. In the settings I wanted to choose "add an annual plan", but suddenly I couldn't find it. Please help! What could the problem be? 

I’m trying to export a single page in Figma into a PDF. Unfortunately it reaches file sizes between 320 MB and 370 MB depending on the export setting, making it useless as PDF readers struggle to even load it. Are there any common pitfalls to avoid? I don’t know any way to diagnose the issue so I’d maybe know which elements to remove.

I wonder what is considered as a UI framework and what is not. Is Figma considered as a UI framework used to design a system’s user interface?Thank you.

Hi everyone, I accidentally added an extra editor seat to my Figma team and removed it right after. However, I noticed that Figma is still set to charge me for it in the next billing cycle. I only used the seat once for a minor text edit before realizing my mistake.I contacted Figma Support three days ago, but I haven’t received any response yet. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue before? Is there another way to reach them faster? I’d really appreciate any advice!Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hello everyone, I would like to sell my files directly on the Figma community. Until now, I have mostly sold through other marketplaces and Gumroad. This is my Figma community profile, and here you can watch a short video of the latest file. Thank you, Marko"

I plan to invite them as editor them to specific files only and not to the team. Will Figma still count them as team seats and charge me? This is assuming I have a pro plan setup and I am currently the only member in the team.

When I try to put these stupid layers into other layers it just doesn’t want to go in for some stupid reason.

Hi, I am a beginner in figma.  My text looks very transparent although I have Fill and Stroke on 100 %. How can I change it, that my text “Über mich” is less transparent?I have tried and searched but I cannot figure it out. Can anyone help me please, what do I have to change?Best regards, Oli

I have just upgraded to Professional because I want to enter dev mode to edit someone else’s files.When I try to do that, I get a message saying, “Upgrade to work in dev mode”.I have upgraded. This works on my own files, so why not on this?If the response is that the owner of the file also needs a Professional plan(I don’t really know how the ownership thing works in Figma), then I am going to be quite upset, since that is clearly a scam. There is no reason other than to take more money from people for organising the system in that way.So hopefully that is not the reason – what am I missing?I have Professional plan, I should be able to open any file I like in dev mode?
