Timeline object
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Description
The Timeline object represents the Flash Timeline, which can be accessed for the current
document by
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline()
. This method returns the Timeline of the
current scene or symbol that is being edited.
When you work with scenes, each scene’s Timeline has an index value, and can be accessed for the
current document by
fl.getDocumentDOM().timelines[i]
. (In this example,
i
is the index of
the value of the Timeline.)
When you work with frames by using the methods and properties of the Timeline object,
remember that the frame value is a zero-based index (not the actual frame number in the sequence
of frames in the Timeline). That is, the first frame has a frame index of 0.
