Reset transformation points in multiple frames.

[guaranteeofpain]

Hi! I have animation with a lot of moving parts and while applying classic tween all thoose parts obviously rotating over transformation point which I changed while animating. Is there a way to change transformation point in all frames at once or force classic tween to use registration point?

Hi.

1 - Download this JSFL script file:

animate_cc_jsfl_reset_transformation_points.zip - Google Drive​

[Reset Transformation Points JSFL code for reference only:]

function main()
{
    var doc = an.getDocumentDOM();
    var selectionq;
    if (!doc)
    {
         alert("Open a document first.");
         return;
    }
    selection = doc.selection;
    if (doc.selection.length == 0)
    {
         alert("Select one or more objects.");
         return;
    }
    doc.selectNone();
    for (var i = selection.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
         var element = selection;
         element.selected = true;
         doc.setTransformationPoint({x:0, y:0});
         element.selected = false;
    }
}
main();

2 - Inside of Animate CC, enter the Edit Multiple Frames mode (Alt + Shift + E);

3 - Select all objects you wish to reset the Transformation Point;

4 - Run the script by double-clicking it, dragging and dropping over Animate IDE or by going to Commands > Run Command....

I hope this helps.

That link is not working any more 😕

Hi.

You can just copy and paste the script into a text file and save it with a .jsfl extension.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi.

Gemini fixed it,It works for me.

function main() {
    var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
    var selection;
    if (!doc) {
        fl.alert("Open a document first.");
        return;
    }
    selection = doc.selection;
    if (selection.length == 0) {
        fl.alert("Select one or more objects.");
        return;
    }

    for (var i = selection.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
        var element = selection[i];
        element.transformationPoint = { x: 0, y: 0 }; 
	element.selected = false; 
    }
}

main();
