tool or method to create timelines with 10 second,etc times

[terryw30405050]

looking if theirs a simpler way of creating for insance 10 1 single frame keyframes and then automatiing adding 10 second to each keyframe. this is a task i do a lot and seems that it would be a easy task to automate .

do you understand jsfl?

[terryw30405050]

im not familar with coding it

[kglad · Accepted solution]

that's the tool. i don't have time now to do it for you.

[terryw30405050]

is this what you got in mind? https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/using/automating-tasks-commands-menu.html

no.

perform the tasks you typically want. check the history panel.  copy and paste into a jsfl file.

execute on a new fla.

that will get you started.

1. i got it to work....as for efficent coding....not sure

 \

i put this into a new jsfl file 240 times (24 frames a secondx 10=240)

an.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().insertFrames();

im sure theirs a better cleaner method of coding this but it does put 10 seconds on my timeline when ran for each keyframe. may make another one for 5 seconds, 15 seconds and 20 seconds for good measure.

[kglad]

ouch.  you could have used a for-loop.

i didn't intend to abandon you. i just thought you'd get started, hit a snag (like that repetitive task) and then ask for help.

oh well, if it's done, good on you!

[terryw30405050]

is their a more efficent way of coding it than repeating it 240 times etc though. i have been studying programming soemwhat and this seems....not very pretty code?

i mean the one for renaming the name to as3 name was like a couple  lines and mine came out to nearly 12K stored. ....

[terryw30405050]

how does that look with a for loop 🙂 sometimes getting the result is well, impessive esp when you got 20 keyframes sitting there. ita a long way to the top?

hopefully my next keyboard will have less wear on the f5 /f 6 key or the

shuttlepro! looking to make a 5 second. 10 second and 20 second timeline option  in the end as i have a whole youtube channel of content like this and been battlign another group trying to rebuild the same game in unity and well....theri not making a lot of lot of headway and we fight like my melody and kuromi of hello kitty. i have made no joke 3 literal petpet park rick roll videos to show off clothes (something fun when a group is stuck on one petpets tricks  and you got 10 them dancing fully clothed in a rick roll thats mildly satisfying...) .

here's your code 240 times:

for(var i=0;i<240;i++){
an.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().insertFrames();

}

[terryw30405050]

we had to start somewhere right ?

[terryw30405050]

made a set of these for 5,7.5 10, and 20 seconds  thanks for the help on this as im much more familar with timeline tasks.

and it does help to use the api, https://github.com/AdobeDocs/developers-animatesdk-docs/blob/master/index.md

(i was on my cell for the past 4 days without my desktop.  at least, that's my excuse.)

Hi.

Please just note that the insertFrames method accepts three arguments: number of frames to insert, layers affected and start index.

So to insert 240 frames, it's only necessary to call it like this:

fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().insertFrames(240);

i am seeing one problem that came up....if do just the for method, teh file only affects the FIRST keyframe. when i copied the command 240 times( i know bad form) it affected all of the ones i selected.

the file i made had 15 keyframes and what i had in mind was to put the text in a keyframe, keyfame next get done, select all and "add 10 seconds" and timing is done for my needs.

if you look at my youtube page under kassegathdr4k you'll see exactly i kinda have a style of doing videos this way.

[terryw30405050]

what is the syntax for the layers affected and start index, this sounds useful that you brought it up!
