Making a command to use the “Frame Picker”

(I swear I'm always on here for something then figure it out straight after, but I'm not good at AS3 so I am gonna need help)

I want to use keybinds for selecting frames in the Frame Picker. So I used the history tool to make the "Instance Property" change (when I change the frame in the Frame Picker) it's own command but when I go to use it I get a syntax error. This one isn't an urgent problem but would be really nice to know a fix so I can ditch the Frame Picker once and for all.

 

I make it sound like I have a big problem with the Frame Picker, if anything it's what made me want to animate in the first place, but a physical solution would be better for me

If it helps, here is the exact error I got:

A JavaScript error has occurred.

At line 8 of file "insert file name here.jsfl":

an.getDocumentDOM().setElementProperty(%S%d-1)

 

SyntaxError: syntax error

 

I have no clue what's wrong, other than the fact that maybe I haven't specified the document name???

This is a bug.

 

It should be something like:

an.getDocumentDOM().setElementProperty("firstFrame", 1-3);

Hi.

 

You can create a command for each frame like this...

 // the index of the first frame is 0, second is 1, third is 2, and so on.
fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].firstFrame = 0;

 

... then assign different shortcuts to them.

 

You can also include in the code a prompt to choose the desired frame.

 

Regards,

JC

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I typed the string into Notepad, then saved it as a jsfl but when I use the command then nothing happens.

Thanks. How do I make it so that it creates a keyframe when I switch the instance?

don't reply again. I'm good at finding solutions after asking for them.
