Code:

class Home extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _HomeState createState() => _HomeState();
}

class _HomeState extends State<Home> {
  String animationName = "forward";
  bool paused;
  @override
  void initState() {
    // TODO: implement initState
    super.initState();
    animationName = "forward";
    paused = false;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      child: FlareActor(
        "flare_truck.flr",
        animation: animationName,
        fit: BoxFit.fitHeight,
        alignment: Alignment(0, 0),
        callback: (str) {
          setState(
            () {
              animationName = "upDown";
            },
          );
        },
      ),

There is an open Github issue on Flare animations working on iOS and Android but breaking on web here.

A member of the Flare/Rive team has said the following about the issue:

"There are two issues here but the fundamental one is that Flutter Web does not support image shaders for triangle meshes, which is how Flare renders images. Unfortunately, that means that Flare images won't work in Flutter Web right now. What we can do on our side is disable them from drawing so you don't get exceptions."

You could follow the Github issue for any specific updates on this.

While this doesn't help much there is a workaround you could try using RepaintBoundary for Stack and Flare issues. You can check the StackOverflow answer here.
