How can I edit an animation in Unity3D - animation

I have selected a game object in the Hierarchy with an animation component attached (not an animator but a simple animation) then I tried to open the animation window to edit it by choosing "Animation" from the "Window" menu. The problem is that the animation window is grayed out and it suggests that I create a new animation. But I just want to edit the one that I already have.

To edit the animation, you need to select a GameObject, make sure it has an Animation component in the inspector or add it if not, assign the animation in question to the Animation list of that component, then open the animation window and select your animation. it's under the time control buttons, beside the object popup.

I have just found out why it didn't work. Because the animation component provides a list of animations, and the first element of the list should not be empty. Meanwhile in my case the first element of the list was empty and the animation I wanted to edit was assigned to the second element of the list. That's why it didn't work.

The "Animations" tab under the "Animation" component must have 1 animation under it, including blanks. To fix this, change the "size" to 0, and the animator at the bottom will open.

How to add positioning animation onstart in figma?

I have a rectangle in figma and I want to give it a positioning animation from top to bottom on starting the page. (without clicking or hovering) How is it possible?
At the moment, the best way to animate in Figma is using a combination of Smart Animate & After Delay between two frames.
On Run Animation
We're going to create a start & end frame. Then, animate between them.
Create your starting frame with your rectangle in its starting position.
Rename the rectangle layer to something unique. This ensure the layer doesn't get missed with the Smart Animate function if the frame gets any busier with more layers.
Duplicate your frame CMD+D and position your rectangle to its end position (Check that Figma hasn't renamed your rectangle)
Click Prototype in the top right corner of your panel.
Select your starting frame & click the None dropdown & select After Delay
Click the None dropdown and select Navigate To from the list
In the dropdown the appears to the right, select your ending frame from the list
Under Animation, click the dropdown and select Smart Animate
Deselect your frame and ensure that the "Starting Frame" is set to your first frame.
Finally, hit play in the top right and watch the magic!
Hope this helps!
And here's a screenshot of the set up.
Hope this is what you were after!

Issue with animating ui elements in unity 3d

I've added an animation clip to a canvas which animates position and alpha channel of its children (like buttons etc.). Now I'm gonna play this animation via pressing the play button (one of itself's children) as shown as here:
(Click om images to see in full screen)
I created a trigger in mecanim and sat as the trigger of transiting to that animation but it didn't work. Is there any ways else or was my job correct and did I some mistakes?
Please help, thanks
In the animator window just making the trigger doesn't do anything. You need to set the trigger by getting a reference to the animator and calling SetTrigger("yourTriggerName"). You can call this in the inspector using the UI button's OnClick() method.
Go to the inspector for the play button and scroll down to where you see this:
click the plus sign and then drag the game object with the animator you want to trigger onto the field that says None(Empty) then select the animator from the drop down menu that appears and select the SetTrigger function. Then type in the name of your trigger Exactly. Upper case matters. That's it. It should look something like this when you are done:
Obviously, you will have to use the correct GameObject and trigger name so yours will look a little different.

Unity UI Button not calling the Onclick method

I have a button under a canvas that is suppose to restart the scene. But instead its not calling the intended function of attached script.
On Unity Forums, I found solutions like it should be at higher hierarchy in canvas, and the canvas should have a graphic raycast and so-on.
But it still isn't working, although its on click array detects the intended method it is suppose to call.
Scene Editor with Canvas Selected:
Scene Editor with Button Selected:
Remove the canvas component from your button.
Make sure that there is a GraphicRaycaster on your canvas, and that there is an EventSystem object somewhere in the hierarchy.
(Both should have been added when you first added the canvas, but things get lost)
The screenshot that shows your button being selected, also shows, that you did pick a gameobject for the OnClick event, but you didn't pick a function from the drop down right next to that field, it says no function.
Instead of selecting the C# class, select the GameObject that
btnSceneSelect is attached to.
If btnSceneSelect is not attached to a GameObject, attach it to one
(other than the button).

Scrollable menu using MenuItem's

What I am trying to accomplish with Cocos2d, is to create a horizontal menu, which can be swiped from left to right. I posted an image, to show my idea.
The image below has a white bar, where I want to show MenuItem objects, now I want to be able to do a swipe in the white region, so that the next menu item is centered.
Example http://www.wimhaanstra.com/images/MenuExample.png
The problem I am facing is, I would really like to use the Menu (& MenuItem) functionality of Cocos2d, but it seems somehow that the MenuItem object does not accept touches other than just tapping it. Also I want the swipe to be detected not only on the MenuItem, but the whole white bar.
What would be the best approach for this?
Somehow incorporate an UIScrollView, but that would be a shame, because I would like to use OpenGL for everything
Subclasss the MenuItem class, to create one where the ccTouchBegan is handled, and somehow move the whole Menu?
Just leave the whole Menu idea behind, and replace the Menu and MenuItems with sprites which support touching.
I read somewhere that MenuItem's shouldn't really be used for this kind of work, but why not?
Layer can handle touches event.
you can put you menuItems into one layer.
detect a swipe, and move the the menuItems
