Question

Hi Guys,

I work with Captivate 3 and I need to know from Flash the number of total frames of current slide.

I saw here http://pipwerks.com/journal/2009/05/16/captivate-4-variables-gone-wild/ that there are these system variables:

rdinfoCurrentFramestring1Returns the number of the current frame (NOT slide), counting from the beginning of the movie's timeline.

rdinfoFrameCountstring2889Returns the number of frames in the entire SWF.

but it's not that I'm searching.

Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Daniela,

Use this to get the total fromes of the current slide if you are directly loading main swf

captivateSwf.movie.getCurrentSlideData().m_rdSlide_mc._totalframes;

//captivateSwf is the reference to captivate main swf ( not skin swf )

If you are having Skin swf too, use this,

cpSkinSwf.cpSkinLoader_mc.movie.getCurrentSlideData().m_rdSlide_mc._totalframes;

//captivateSkinSwf is the reference to captivate skin swf

Hope this helps,

Ravi Kishore.

Hi Ravi,

Interesting..

Is it possible that you could provide a list of other variables / properties that you are able to get like this?

The variable you posted here is not listed anywhere in the official lists or documentation so it would be great to know what else is possible to do.

You can't get the total frames per slide from a variable unfortunately. As you found yourself you are only able to get the current frame and the total amount of frames for the entire project.
