How to make symbols based on real time and date

[CoolSonic326358963gol]

Hello! I have been using Adobe aniamte for a couple months now and have been looking at tips on how to improve. But then I came a cross this kind of symbol, it seems to tell and represent the time it was created, I don't know if it's an extension or plugin, or if you need another adobe app to do this. Its been bothering me ever since and made me not want to animate because most of my symbols would be "symbol 1, 2, etc". If anyone knows how to get those kind of symbols, I'd be glad to listen, either way, I'm stuck.

Thanks.

Just to make sure I understand you correctly:

You want the symbols you create not to be named Symbol 1, 2, 3, and so on, but instead, their names should reflect the moment of their creation, like 2023-01-10-11:35

If that's your desire, this cannot be achieved without a JSFL script. For example, something like this:

fl.trace( fl.getDocumentDOM().library.addNewItem( "graphic", new Date() ) );

In this image, how do I make this symbol?

If you want to be helped, try to provide context and ask the question in a way which other people would understand easily.

Is the JSFL script an extension or something thats autmatically in the app?

[kglad]

no, it's not automatic.  you would need to create (or buy) the extension or jsfl script and use it.

Oh okay, I figured it out. Thanks!

you're welcome.

.. jsfl can be implemented in an extension.

where did you come across that symbol notation?  that may give a hint to the extension used (if one was used).
