Usage

bonesPlayer.whichBonesPlayerProperty
Description
3D modifier; manages the use of motions by models. The motions managed by the bonesPlayer
modifier animate segments, called bones, of the model.
Motions and the models that use them must be created in a 3D modeling program, exported as
W3D files, and then imported into a movie. Motions cannot be applied to model primitives
created within Director.
Adding the
bonesPlayer modifier to a model by using the addModifier command allows access
to the following
bonesPlayer modifier properties:
playing (3D) indicates whether a model is executing a motion.
playlist is a linear list of property lists containing the playback parameters of the motions that
are queued for a model.
currentTime (3D) indicates the local time, in milliseconds, of the currently playing or
paused motion.
