Is there an equivalent of a timing chart?

Hi.

Right now, you can achieve this by using a JSFL script.

Paste the code below into a file named Get Selected Frames Length.jsfl.

Get Selected Frames Length JSFL code:

var dom, timeline, frames, i, min, max, length, startFrames, endFrames;

function main()
{	
	dom = fl.getDocumentDOM();
	
	if (!dom)
	{
		alert("Please open up a FLA file first.");
		return;
	}

	timeline = dom.getTimeline();
	frames = timeline.getSelectedFrames();

	if (frames.length === 0)
	{
		alert("There are no frames selected.");
		return;
	}
	
	startFrames = [];
	endFrames = [];

	for (i = 1; i < frames.length; i += 3)
	{
		startFrames.push(frames[i]);
		endFrames.push(frames[i + 1]);
	}
		
	min = Math.min.apply(Math, startFrames);
	max = Math.max.apply(Math, endFrames);
	length = max - min;

	fl.trace(length); // traces de value in the Output panel
}

main();

To run the script, do one of the following:

- Double-click it (the .jsfl file);

- Drag and drop the .jsfl file over the Animate IDE

- Go to Commands > Run Command.... (you must put the script in the commands folder). You can also assign a shortcut for the command.

Source / file (if you want to download the file instead of create one yourself):

https://github.com/joao-cesar/adobe/tree/master/animate%20cc/jsfl/get_selected_frames_length

The length of the selection will be displayed in the Output panel.

I hope it helps.
