timeline.setFrameProperty()
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
timeline.setFrameProperty( property , value [, startFrameIndex [,
endFrameIndex ]])
Parameters
property
A string that specifies the name of the property to be modified. For a complete list of
properties and values, see “Property summary for the Frame object” on page 185 .
Note: You can’t use this method to set values for read-only properties such as
frame.duration
and
frame.elements
.
value
Specifies the value to which you want to set the property. To determine the appropriate
values and type, see “Property summary for the Frame object” on page 185 .
startFrameIndex
A zero-based index that specifies the starting frame number to modify. If
you omit
startFrameIndex
, the method uses the current selection. This parameter is optional.
endFrameIndex
A zero-based index that specifies the first frame at which to stop. The range of
frames goes up to, but does not include,
endFrameIndex
. If you specify
startFrameIndex
but
omit
endFrameIndex
,
endFrameIndex
defaults to the value of
startFrameIndex
. This
parameter is optional.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; sets the property of the Frame object for the selected frames.
Example
The following example assigns the ActionScript
stop()
command to the first frame of the top
layer in the current document:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().currentLayer = 0;
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setSelectedFrames(0,0,true);
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setFrameProperty("actionScript", "stop();");
The following example sets a motion tween from Frame 2 up to, but not including, Frame 5, of
the current layer (remember that index values are different from frame number values):
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().setFrameProperty("tweenType","motion",1,4);
