Timeline object 339
bAllLayers A Boolean value that, if set to true (the default), causes the method to insert the
specified number of frames in the
numFrames parameter into all layers; if set to false, the
method inserts frames into the current layer. This parameter is optional.
frameNumIndex A zero-based index that specifies the frame at which to insert a new frame.
This parameter is optional.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; inserts the specified number of frames at the specified index.
If no parameters are specified, this method works as follows:
• If one or more frames are selected, the method inserts the selected number of frames at the
location of the first selected frame in the current layer. That is, if frames 6 through 10 are
selected (a total of five frames), the method adds five frames at Frame 6 on the layer containing
the selected frames.
• If no frames are selected, the method inserts one frame at the current frame on all layers.
If parameters are specified, the method works as follows:
• If only numFrames is specified, inserts the specified number of frames at the current frame on
the current layer.
• If numFrames is specified and bAllLayers is true, inserts the specified number of frames at
the current frame on all layers.
• If all three parameters are specified, inserts the specified number of frames at the specified
index (
frameIndex); the value passed for bAllLayers determines if the frames are added only
to the current layer or to all layers.
If the specified or selected frame is a regular frame, the frame is inserted at that frame. For
example, if you have a span of 10 frames numbered 1-10 and you select Frame 5 (or pass a
value of 4 for
frameIndex), this method adds a frame at Frame 5, and the length of the frame
span becomes 11 frames. If Frame 5 is selected and it is a keyframe, this method inserts a frame at
Frame 6 regardless of whether the frame next to it is also a keyframe.
Example
The following example inserts a frame (or frames, depending on the selection) at the current
selection in the current layer:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().insertFrames();
The following example inserts five frames at the current frame in all layers:
fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().insertFrames(5);
Note: If you have multiple layers with frames in them, and you select a frame in one layer when using
the previous command, Flash inserts the frames in the selected layer only. If you have multiple layers
with no frames selected in them, Flash inserts the frames in all layers.
