Adobe Flash JSFL quirks notes:
- Text boxes may store line returns as \r, rather than \n or \r\n.
- Because of this, the beginning of line symbol may not work.
- Wrong: string.replace(/.*^.*/, “$1″);
- Right: string.replace(/.*\r.*/, “$1″);
- Non-greedy seraches don’t always work, and may not work with multiline searches. Try a greedy search instead, if possible. Headache == string.replace(/^(.*?)\r(.+?)/m, “$1″).
- Using fl.findObjectInDocByType(),
- [obj].keyframe = The keyframe that the element is on.
- [obj].layer = The layer that the keyframe is on.
- [obj].timeline = The timeline that the layer is on.
- [obj].parent = The parent of the timeline. E.g., the timeline might be in a symbol instance.
And finding the layer and frame:
- dom.getTimeline().currentLayer = dom.getTimeline().findLayerIndex(findObjResults[j].layer.name);
- dom.getTimeline().currentFrame = findObjResults[j].keyframe.startFrame;
- Using:
var dom = fl.getDocumentDOM();
var lib = dom.library;Find a library item:
var libItem = lib.getItemByname( libItemRef );Find a library index:
var libIdx = lib.findItemIndex("folder-as-path/to/library/item/name");Select an element on the stage:
fl.selectElement( someStageElementRef, false );Swap element’s library item with another library item:
dom.swapElement( libItemToChangeTo.name ); - For basic stage DOM search (and swapping) for library item instances see my post on JSFL swaps.
