jsfl symbol keyframe detection

[ariawesome]

is there any possible way to find where there are keyframes in a symbol

for example say I've made a graphic symbol for the characters head and I want to be able to use a jsfl command to find where there are keyframes inside the symbol and then shake the head symbol on a keyframe at the same time there is a keyframe inside of the symbol (to replecate the south park effect)

Hi,

Yes, you can detect keyframes in a symbol's internal timeline.
But, a keyframe is a property of a layer, not to a timeline at given frame. So, you must specify the layer from the internal timeline.
Here is a piece of code, that can be used as a starting point. It detects the internal keyframes in the selected symbol on the stage and outputs them as array of arrays.

function getKeyFrames( tml ){
	
	this.isKeyFrame = function( timeline, layerNum, frameNum ){
		if( ! timeline.layers[ layerNum ].frames[ frameNum ] ){
			return false;
		}
		return ( timeline.layers[ layerNum ].frames[ frameNum ].startFrame === frameNum );
	};	
	
	var retval = [];
	
	for( var i = 0; i < tml.layers.length; i++ ){
		var layerKeyFrames = [];
		for( var j = 0; j < tml.layers[ i ].frames.length; j++ ){
			if( this.isKeyFrame( tml, i, j ) ){
				layerKeyFrames.push( j );
			}
		}
		retval.push( layerKeyFrames );
	}
	return retval;
}


fl.trace( getKeyFrames( fl.getDocumentDOM().selection[0].libraryItem.timeline ) );
