The following example first stores the array of selected frames in the
savedSelectionList
variable, and then uses the array later in the code to reselect those frames after a command or
user interaction has changed the selection:
var savedSelectionList =
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().getSelectedFrames();
// Do something that changes the selection.
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setSelectedFrames(savedSelectionList);
The following example selects the top layer, Frame 1, up to, but not including, Frame 10,
then adds Frame 12, up to, but not including, Frame 15, on the same layer to the current
selection:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setSelectedFrames([0, 0, 9]);
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setSelectedFrames([0, 11, 14], false);
