Question

creating a simple, frame counter to place on the stage

Hey Folks,

 

I'm wondering if this can be done....

 

Is it possible to place ActionScript in a Frame that would generate a Frame Counter "App", live, onto the Stage, while I'm working in real time?

 

I know you can add code to a dynamic TextField that would create this "Frame Counter" to a published or exported movieClip, but can something like this be done where it's actually happening in real time, while your creating?

 

Peace,

ElementX

Hi n. tilcheff,

 

Thank you for the link but I couldn't find the "frame counter" there, not even after doing a search for it.

That said, cool site though, lots to learn; Thanks.

 

Also, what did you mean by "Isn't that what the OP asks for", is that some kind of refference to my age, as in Old Person?😁

 

 

Peace,

Download the Movie Template FLA.

The counter is in it.

Copy/paste the layer, frame or symbol into your own file and use it.

 

OP is a common forum acronym for Original Poster.
