Same Code, Different Frame
October 02, 2006
I am working on this project and I had to go through hours* of video within Flash (FLVs dropped onto FLA timelines) and drop function calls along the timeline in order to trigger events based on the audio. I had already watched all the clips to find the key frame numbers (which wasn't that bad because some of the clips are hilarious) but after I had all the frame numbers, I needed to go through and drop 2 lines of code at each frame... the same 2 lines... on each frame... a tedium that I did not look forward to. So I ended up writing this panel to help do it faster and with less 'boring' than the 'by hand' way.With this Script Sprinkler panel, you can enter a frame number and some Action Script. The panel will then make a keyframe at the frame number entered, on the currently active layer and add the Action Script entered. I found it to be really helpful for marking these videos that where thousands of frames long.

*Ok, so it wasn't really hours of video but it felt like it when I marked the first 2 by hand. It was probably more like 10 minutes of footage.

LOL at "well it was probably more like 10 minutes of footage" -- relating strongly to this mindset.
