Export Animation as XML or JSON to Use Elsewhere?

Hi,

Here is a script that exports the selected frames as JSON data. You need to include JSON in your finalized command, because it is not included by default in Animate JS API.

1. Download JSON from here:
https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js

2. Save the code in your Command folder as 'JSON2.jsfl'

3. Run the export script.

(function(){

	fl.runScript( fl.configURI + "Commands/JSON2.jsfl" ) // initialize JSON here
	var report = {};
	
	exportAnimationFromSelectedFrames( report );
	
	
	fl.trace( ( JSON ) ? JSON.stringify( report ) : report );
	
	function exportAnimationFromSelectedFrames( r ){

		var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
		var myTimeline = doc.getTimeline();
		var i, j, myLayer, ln, myFrame;
		var selectedFrames = myTimeline.getSelectedFrames();
		var frmreport;
		
		if( selectedFrames.length === 0 ){
			fl.trace( "Select timeline frames to work on." );
			return;
		}
		
		// Loop through 'selected frames'
		for( i = 0; i < selectedFrames.length; i+=3 ){
			
			myLayer = myTimeline.layers[ selectedFrames[ i ] ];

			// Skip timeline folders
			if( myLayer.layerType === "folder" ) continue;
			
			ln = "Layer " + selectedFrames[ i ];
			
			r[ ln ] = [];
			
			for( j = selectedFrames[i+1]; j < selectedFrames[i+2]; j++ ){
				
				myFrame = myLayer.frames[ j ];
				
				// Skip empty frames
				if( ! myFrame ) continue;
				
				// get frame properties
				if( isKeyFrame( myLayer, j ) ){
					
					frmreport = {
						 frame		: j
						,label		: myFrame.name
						,duration	: myFrame.duration
					};
					r[ ln ].push( frmreport );
					
					getElementProperties( myFrame, frmreport );
				}
			}
			
		}
	}

	function isKeyFrame( aLayer, frameNum ){
		if( ! aLayer.frames[ frameNum ] ) return false;
		return ( aLayer.frames[ frameNum ].startFrame === frameNum );
	}
	
	function getElementProperties( fr, r ){
		
		if( fr.elements.length > 1 ) return;
		
		var el = fr.elements[ 0 ];
		
		if( el.elementType != "instance" ) return;
        if( el.instanceType != "symbol" ) return;
		
		var props = ( fr.useSingleEaseCurve ) ?
			[ "all" ] :
			[ "position", "rotation","scale", "color" ];
		
		var i, p, ease = {};
		
		for( i = 0; i < props.length; i++ ){
			p = props[ i ];
			ease[ p ] = fr.getCustomEase( p );
		}
		
		r.ease = ease;

		r[ el.libraryItem.name.split("/").pop() ] = {
			 x			: el.x
			,y			: el.y
			,width		: el.width
			,height		: el.height
			,rotation	: el.rotation
			,scaleX		: el.scaleX
			,scaleY		: el.scaleY
			,opacity	: el.colorAlphaPercent
			,firstFrame	: ( el.symbolType === "graphic" ) ? el.firstFrame : 0 
			,loop		: ( el.symbolType === "graphic" ) ? el.loop : "n/a" 
		}
	}

})();
