Can't select frame in Actions panel

Hello people,

For some reason, I can't select the current Frame in my actions panel. Therefore, all actionscript ends up in Frame 1.

Anyone ever had this problem before? And, if so, how did you resolve it?

Thanks,

ehrenfest

You might have accidentally pinned the Action panel tab to previous frame script.

1) Open Script panel

2) Look under the scripting area, you should see 2 TABs and between them a Pin icon (Pin active script / Close pinned script)

a frame must be a key frame to contain actionscript.  right click any frame and click add keyframe.

Hi kglad,

Thanks, but I did do that, of course. I click F6, make a keyframe, then I put some actionscript in my actions panel. But the little a won't appear in the keyframe, and my actionscript shows up as belonging to every frame in the timeline, not my keyframe.

I did something wrong in the lower left hand of my actions panel; where it says "Current Selection", etc. But I don't know what. In any new document I open, this lower left hand part will immediately show the number of the frame I put my keyframe on, but in this document, not so much.

Any idea? I guess I'll move my stuff over to a new document. Which is a bit bother some.

Thanks,

ehrenfest
