frame.elements
Availability
Flash MX 2004.
Usage
frame.elements
Description
Read-only property; an array of Element objects (see Element object). The order of elements
is the order in which they are stored in the FLA file. If there are multiple shapes on the Stage,
and each is ungrouped, Flash treats them as one element. If each shape is grouped, so there are
multiple groups on the Stage, Flash sees them as separate elements. In other words, Flash
treats raw, ungrouped shapes as a single element, regardless of how many separate shapes are
on the Stage. If a frame contains three raw, ungrouped shapes, for example, then
elements.length in that frame returns a value of 1. Select each shape individually, and
group it to work around this issue.
Example
The following example stores an array of current elements on the top layer, first frame in the
myElements variable:
var myElements =
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements;
frame.getCustomEase()
Availability
Flash 8.
Usage
Frame.getCustomEase( [ property ] )
Parameters
property An optional string that specifies the property for which you want to return the
custom ease value. Acceptable values are
"all", "position", "rotation", "scale",
"color", and "filters". The default value is "all".
Returns
Returns an array of JavaScript objects, each of which has an x and y property.
