Description
Property; an integer that specifies the index of the active timeline. You can set the active timeline by changing the value
of this property; the effect is almost equivalent to calling
document.editScene() . The only difference is that you
don’t get an error message if the index of the timeline is not valid; the property is simply not set, which causes silent
failure.
Example
The following example displays the index of the current timeline:
var myCurrentTL = fl.getDocumentDOM().currentTimeline;
fl.trace("The index of the current timeline is: "+ myCurrentTL);
The following example changes the active timeline from the main timeline to a scene named "myScene" :
var i = 0;
var curTimelines = fl.getDocumentDOM().timelines;
while(i < fl.getDocumentDOM().timelines.length){
if(curTimelines[i].name == "myScene"){
fl.getDocumentDOM().currentTimeline = i;
}
++i;
}

Usage
document.DebugMovie([Boolean abortIfErrorsExist])

The following example opens the current document in debug mode, but aborts the operation if compiler errors exist:
fl.getDocumentDOM().debugMovie(1);
