How can I get a delay value of animation timeline?

[maryan_coder]

function getDelay (theFrameIndex) 
{
  try
  {
  var actionReference = new ActionReference(); 
  actionReference.putProperty(charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID('animationFrameDelay')); 
  actionReference.putIndex(stringIDToTypeID('animationFrameClass'), theFrameIndex);
  var actionDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); 
  actionDescriptor.putReference(charIDToTypeID('null'), actionReference);          
  var T = executeAction(charIDToTypeID('getd'), actionDescriptor, DialogModes.NO);
  return T.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID('animationFrameDelay'))
  }
  catch(ex)
  {
  alert(ex);
  return null;
  }
}

I want to get the value of the stringIDToTypeID ( 'animationFrameDelay'). But the code falls with an error.

Are you sure the file is Frame Animation?

That script function posted seems to work. You need to use it. Something like this

var frameNumber = "Not a Number";

while (isNaN(frameNumber)) {var frameNumber  = prompt("Frame Number ?", "1");}

alert("Frame Number " + frameNumber + " deley is = " + getDelay(frameNumber));

function getDelay (theFrameIndex) {

  try  {

  var actionReference = new ActionReference(); 

  actionReference.putProperty(charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID('animationFrameDelay')); 

  actionReference.putIndex(stringIDToTypeID('animationFrameClass'), theFrameIndex);

  var actionDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); 

  actionDescriptor.putReference(charIDToTypeID('null'), actionReference);          

  var T = executeAction(charIDToTypeID('getd'), actionDescriptor, DialogModes.NO);

  return T.getDouble(stringIDToTypeID('animationFrameDelay'))

  }

  catch(e) {

    alert(e + ': on line ' + e.line);

  return null;

  }

}

 var T = executeAction(charIDToTypeID('getd'), actionDescriptor, DialogModes.NO);

Is that Photoshop Elements 14 or Photoshop CC Photoshop Version 14?  If Elements that function my not be included which means that its not available like the message indicates.

However the manage indicates the error is on line 316 so we do not know how the script your using is coded. What the actionDescriptor is?

I just tried Photoshop CC that function is not available in CC. It is also not available in CC 2014.  It is available in CC 2015 Photoshop version 16

Thank you! Yes it is Adobe Photoshop CC 14.
