Timeline object
timeline.removeFrames()
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
timeline.removeFrames([startFrameIndex [, endFrameIndex]])
Parameters
startFrameIndex A zero-based index that specifies the first frame at which to start removing frames. If you omit
startFrameIndex, the method uses the current selection; if there is no selection, all frames at the current playhead on
all layers are removed. This parameter is optional.
endFrameIndex A zero-based index that specifies the frame at which to stop removing frames; the range of frames
goes up to, but does not include, endFrameIndex. If you specify only startFrameIndex, endFrameIndex defaults to the
startFrameIndex value. This parameter is optional.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; deletes the frame.
Example
The following example deletes Frame 5 up to, but not including, Frame 10 of the top layer in the current scene
(remember that index values are different from frame number values):
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().currentLayer = 0;
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().removeFrames(4, 9);
The following example deletes Frame 8 on the top layer in the current scene:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().currentLayer = 0;
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().removeFrames(7);
timeline.reorderLayer()
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
timeline.reorderLayer(layerToMove, layerToPutItBy [, bAddBefore])
Parameters
layerToMove A zero-based index that specifies which layer to move.
layerToPutItBy A zero-based index that specifies which layer you want to move the layer next to. For example, if
you specify 1 for layerToMove and 0 for layerToPutItBy, the second layer is placed next to the first layer.
