I have a bunch of fla files with a sequence of frames that need to be readjusted due to a change in frame rate requirements. How can i add frames to specific frame numbers using JSFL script? Or at least what API can i use? Is there one in one of the properties and methods of the DOM object from fl.getDocumentDOM?
View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of old FLAs with one set of dimensions, including a 60 pixel offset along the y axis. I'm writing a jsfl script to resize the stage (works), delete some unneeded layers (works), and reposition everything (doesn't work) What I'm using is:
fl.getDocumentDOM().selectAll();
fl.getDocumentDOM().moveSelectionBy({x:46, y:-60});
When I run my script, the items do in fact get moved, but on tweened clips, they get "doubled dipped," it seems: if I compare the new x and y values of, say, the end keyframe of a clip (only tweened for alpha, for example) is exactly 46 pixels farther right and 60 pixels higher up than it should be.Is there a better way to reposition everything that avoids this "double dipping" among tweens? I'd love to know! There's got to be a way, and I feel like I'm so close, but not quite there. (Of course, I'm probably way offEdit: I've performed the steps manually by turning onionskinning on for multiple frames, selecting all frames, then dragging a selection rectangle across everything on the stage, then moving everything by the desired amount, which works: when I look at the history and view the js for those steps, they look exactly like what I've typed into my script.
In CS5, I want to create a series of buttons that when clicked will linked to other frames in the same timeline. So one button will link to frame 5, one will link to frame 10, one will link to 15, etc. All the buttons will appear across the top of the stage on a layer, and I want them to appear on all of the frames so the user can click back-and-forth to the different frames/screens.
1. Is the best way to do this to just add the buttons to frame 1 and add a keyframe to the last frame in the timeline, frame 15, so they are copied to all the frames in between?
I have 1012 different sound files named Sound 1, sound 2, sound 3, etc. On the second frame I created a storage movie clip to house them all. What I need to do is add a layer for every sound in the MC and add one sound to each one. Now instead of making 1012 layers by hand, is there a JSFL file I can use to do it for me?What it needs to do is add one layer, add sound 1, and hit stop in the properties. Then it should add another layer, add sound 2, and hit stop in the properties.

I am evaluating the possibility of developing a JSFL script to parse a FLA and need to know first if it would be able to do what i want to do. I need the script to parse through all the library's linked assets, recursively go through their children, replace all the children of type "Group" with a bitmap and then save that FLA as a new file. I haven't received an ok to develop this yet at work, but i'm trying to evaluate the possibility for a proposal.
View 1 RepliesI'm setting up some auto build scripts with ant and jsfl for use in Flash CS4. I have a few files that have some missing fonts. For these I just want to have the default mapping selected since the text content in question isn't displayed. I think CS5 may have an option to not display the mapping dialog, but CS4 doesn't. Anyone know if there's a jsfl method to targert this window and just select 'OK'?
View 1 RepliesI don't really know that much about Commands in Flash, but I was thinking this could be a possible Command to create.See, I have this puppet made up of dozens of separate pieces, all on their own layers.It's very tedious to click on 10 different symbols in order to move the character's arm, for example.I was wondering if there was a way to create a JSFL command to select each of the 10 symbols on the stage.
I tried clicking each one, and saving the "Change Selection" actions from the History Panel as a Command, but that is location-based.As soon as I move those symbols to a new location, the command I saved no longer selects them.And I can't select the objects by layer or frame, because it doesn't seem to want to save those either.
I'm writing a JSFL script to export animations from Flash. I iterate through every frame in the timeline, and for each frame I go through every element in every layer, and write each Element's symbol name and matrix values out to a file. The problem is, if you've created animation using a motion tween, the exporter steps through every frame but sees the same matrix values for each Element in every frame. This is where I hit the first problem: Iterating through the timeline in this way doesn't seem to work. I can't see any way of getting the right information out for each frame.
There is a workaround: Namely, selecting all the animated layers on the timeline, and selecting "Convert to Frame by Frame animation" from the context menu. Then you run the exporter, and then you have to undo the "Convert to Frame by Frame" animation in order to continue working on the file. That's pretty messy, so I tried to automate the process, by having the export script perform the convert to frame by frame. When you perform the action, and look it up in the History window, Flash tells you that the JSFL command it used was the following:

Adding frames across multiple layers...that's what I want to do. I do not want to add frames one layer at a time if I can help it as I have a good 20 layers going and I'm bound to miss one or something. Now if I am in a tween layer adding frames I know what that does...but it will add more frames of what ever is going on at that point in that layer...right? (Ex. empty space...you will be adding more empty space...next layer has a tween...you are adding more tween...right?)

View 2 RepliesI'm currently working on a project that has been made by someone else. The problem right now is that if I play the .swf that's located in the folder of the .fla everything works fine in the movie. However, if I open the .fla I get a message telling me I need a minimum of 200 frames to run the movie. Pressing yes or no doesn't help, because after I ctrl+enter to play the movie it skips bits and acts all weird.
Everything in this .fla seems to be made in keyFrames, so no external ActionScript documents are present.
I am using Adobe CS5 myself and have no idea in what CS this project was made.
for instance I have head or tail game. a coin first comes to the screen as head or coin not visible. but program has assigned already for its a game. and I have two buttons, head and tail. it asks head or tail. I push one of the buttons. (up to here I can handle all the codes). but now if I guess it true, I want the program to ask it again. (I can also handle the code up to here, if I push the timeline for example 100 key frames, as knowing 100 over and over is almost impossible).
But by which code I can make the test continue Without multiple keyframes.

[Code]....
on a a button that I have, but when i test my file and click on the button, it doesn't change frames.
I want to be able to add an action script for a button that is able to jump to different frames of a movie and play them in sequence. For example I want to be able to add an action script to a button so that when the button is released I want the movie (animation) to start at frame 10, play till it reaches, frame 20, then immediately jump to frame 30, play to frame 40 and then stop. The Idea is to play different animations in sequence with just one button. Whenever I press the button I don't want to see the animation in frames 1-9 or 11-19. If I can figure out how to do this I will be to have different buttons controlling different sequences of the animation of the movie.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to export to PNG from the JSFL document.exportPNG function with 'bCurrentPNGSettings' but it fails. Flash keeps complaining that "The bitmap is too large.The largest bitmap that can be created is 8000x800 pixels."The width x height of the document is set to 1920x1080 and I've tried modifying the publish profile appropriately.Still no-dice. If I set 'bCurrentPNGSettings' to false so that the export dialog appears it pops up with the correct width and height; clicking OK exports properly.

View 2 RepliesI have a movie that I have been working on.There is a simple animation/intro and then a main frame with several buttons set up to jump ahead to other frames.There are 4 buttons and they all work just fine and go to the respective frame with no problems.
My problem is in trying to add a button to one of those frames. I can't get any button to work on any of those frames at all. I tried to add a "home" button that jumps back to the main frame, but that wouldn't work. So, I tried to copy the main frame and move it ahead on the time line but that didn't work either. I tried to add buttons for the other frames as well and no button would work (regardless of where it was referenced) on those other frames.Here is the error message I keep getting:
