Can you align child layers to their parents in the timeline using scripts?

OK, so I'm very new to scripting. Right now I'm looking for a way to align layers in the scenario with the other.

So, if, for example - if 3 NULL values were related to a model like this:

CompQ1.PNG

I want to be able to line the children up to their parent, to look like this:

CompQ2.PNG

So far I tried to find the time when the Solid Black comp begins within Comp 1, but I only managed to find the values of the model Solid Black inPoint which are always relative to the model itself, and not when it is actually active in Comp 1. When I look at the script guide, it does not resemble the Ae allows you to access the timeline like this.

Any ideas?

Is it still possible?

Play with this:

var app.project.activeItem = myComp;

for (var i = 1; i)<= mycomp.numlayers;="">

If (myComp.layer (i) .parent! = null) {}

myComp.layer (i) .startTime += myComp.layer (i).parent.inPoint - myComp.layer (i) .inPoint;

}

}

  • AS3 how can you detect if someone shoots their camera into the USB port?

    In AS3 if the SWF Gets a hold of the camera of someone successfully and they begin streaming video everywhere and everything, but then halfway, either they wiggle accidentally their camera into the USB port, or the camera just sort breaks down, or something like that, how can detect you on the user side?  I tried using event listeners and different variables of Mark also every five seconds, but none worked. any of the public properties of the camera or its events seem to be acting funny of all when something happens like that.  And apparently you can just keep analysis the computer for devices (for a good reason, I suppose).

    Is there something I'm missing here?  Is it possible to detect the copy of a user of a SWF file (PF or AIR, but much more important still FP) when their camera has effectively stopped as the result of something goes wrong, like them what she wiggling the computer by mistake?  If so, how?  Thank you!

    Run your code and disconnect your camera. What are the common properties of it? Stop your flow? To return only a framework of specific color? These things can be used to detect, but you are right when you say that you can not detect more than a loss of packets from a NetStream object.

  • Can move us the child member of some parents to the other Parent as child member

    Hi all

    Can u just answer the following question: we need urgently.

    Can we get out the child member of some parents to the other Parent as child member with deletion/cut / child member
    ??

    Move in the direction of cut and paste.
    In the outline of the editor, if you drag a child member by a parent to another parent he will do the same.
    If you want to add a child member by a parent to another parent in keeping one, you can do this by copying and pastechild for the new parent and you must set the property of the Member as a shared member.

  • How can I select all instances of a component in the timeline at once without manually shift clicking on each instance?

    Title says it all!

    How can I select all instances of a component in the timeline at once without manually shift + click each instance?

    The reason why I want to do this is because I have a video clip with MANY quick cuts. So the clips are cut out and splattered everywhere. I'm color correction now and so I want to be able to select a clip around wherever it exists in the timeline so I can drag the effect on all the at once, without having to search each occurrence of the item in the timeline panel. This lot "select" would make it so I don't miss not all instances of the clip and saving a ton of time going through the timeline and Shift clicking whenever the clip is also up.

    I hope that the PP is smart enough to do this

    Thanks in advance!

  • How to copy the properties of the child to another class parent class the child at run time?

    Hi all

    I have 3 classes:

    Class A: parent

    Child classes B and c:

    At runtime, I want to istantiate an object of class C of an existing class B object.

    In particular: I have an object of class B with its properties; Then, I want to create an object of class C, which the parent properties are 'taken' of object B.

    I tried to use "more generic class" and "to a more specific class', but without success.

    Can you help me?

    Basically, you will need to write explicit code that will have all relevant data and move everything to the new object.

  • How the clip markers can be promoted in chronological markers?  I cut a clip and rearranged the order of the pieces in the timeline panel, so now I want a set of benchmarks that reflect their position in the timeline panel.

    Clip markers have as their frame of reference of the timeline, they came.  If you create a new brand of element in a new timeline, the marker in time is measured from his original script, not the new timeline where he is.  Currently in CC 2015 organization there is no way to translate the clip marker references 'Local' in the 'World calendar"in which they now live.  I captured on video a 8mm film that is chronologically jumble of short scenes.  I placed the chronology of chapter for each scene markers, export the list of markers and finally understood the rearrangement of pieces of scenes he needed to put everything in chronological order.  Thank God for the ability to export the list of markers, just as I needed!  So the whole sequence has 85 chronological markers, dividing the sequence into 5 pieces and rearranging puts them all in chronological order.  Obviously, I don't want to have to restore the scene boundries 85 times, I did as a necessary step to solve the puzzle.  I think you might meet one day some of these problems:

    1. the most obvious thing is located in the calendar for a piece, lift it and 'paste insert' where it belongs on the timeline.  Problem: Lift or excerpt from don't lift or extract chronological markers with it, so when "Insert you a block", the piece inserted in the timeline has lost its bearings, they were left.

    2. How about you make a sous-suite of the segment to move?  Yes, it carries all the tracks, but not the chronological markers whence he came.

    3. ok, I'll export the calendar together with chronological markers and reimport - ah, Yes, success, the chronology of the markers are now item, marks on the imported clip (the entire chronology).  That's great, because the clip markers are sticky with the clip, I can it chop, rearrange to put markers in chronological order without returning any info title marker.  Feeling beat with the reorganization completed five segments of the original timeline, everything is in order, nothing was reinstated, the timeline with its clip of chapter markers is ready to export to still make the DVD!  Yes, you guessed it, element chapter marks are not exported in yet.  The chronology of imports still with a marker, Chapter 1, at the beginning.

    4. There must be a way, stacked the timeline with the time markers on it on the icon for "New"... ', it is the same as #3 above, but simpler.  Historical markers are now the clip markers that don't export in yet.

    From my experiences, it is therefore impossible to solve my problem without completely restoring scene boundries and type chapter titles.  There are two repositories coordinated, clip) 1 local and 2) global chronology; and there is no way to go from one to the other 'mass'.   There is the glove, I'm sure someone has a way to do this without returning the title of chapter 85 markers.

    I have not found an automatic way to do this, but here is an efficient manual method that requires no titles of chapters Overtype.

    Either drop your timeline that has mounted the icon "Create New" brands, or export the timeline and import it back.  You now have a new timeline and markers are now on the video clip.  Now, chop and reorganize this video clip, it is in the best new order, and the clip markers stick with the sections of the clamp.  Now this procedure migrates the markers of the clips to the timeline (promotion):

    Start at the beginning of the timeline, select the video clip. (The video clip must be selected for M to open the marker editing window)

    1. type change M to find the first element brand, type M to open the editing window of clip marker, select the marker title and copy (control-C), hit Cancel

    2 hit the icon of reference in the program monitor pane, which puts a green marker on the timeline at the same time as the brand of element,

    3. double-click on the Green marker, paste the title of marker by control V, select the radio button of chapter markers, click OK.

    Repeat steps 1-3 to promote all the markers of clip of historical markers with the same marker titles.  Since we cut the timeline to reorganize, there are several video clips.  As you progress, make sure that the clip that you are working on is selected, otherwise M will not open the editing window, instead, it will place a chronological marker.  In short, follow this procedure exactly, it works.  It's a stupid job, but it does the job with without having to retype marker titles.  The chronology chapter titles now think time on the new timeline and they will export in yet.  Hope someone finds it useful at some point in the future.

    Perhaps team first see the usefulness of this and add a command 'Promote the clip for mounting marks markers' and "retrograde chronological markers for the clip markers" (conservation type, title and comments).  It would be a powerful addition.

  • Can you only score one inside and outside in the source window?

    A little embarrassed to ask this as long as I've been using the first, but I have never needed to do before.

    I pull up a clip in the source window, put in and out of the points, and then drag in the timeline.

    Now, if it's a long clip, and I want to take part, how to see new in and out points? It overrides what is already there? Yes, I know that I can test this on mine, but my question is, what do I do if I want to go back and refer to the 'old' in and out of the points? In addition, once they are changed, it changes what I had previously added to the timeline? (I think not because I guess that what I dragged to the timeline will be there, and not update that the new clips are in the source for the same clip window)

    I know there is an option to make a subclip. Is this the only option? If so, I would not even sure how to do this in a workflow. In other words, I should have been the subitem knowing first that I go back and shoot another section of the same sequence. In any case, hope that makes sense and that any idea is appreciated.

    You play the clip and the brand new points and exit.

    It overrides what is already there?

    Yes. A clip can have one in and one out point at any point in time.

    ... what should I do if I want to go back and refer to the 'old' in and out of the points?

    Use the button cancel or place markers where you placed your points - you can have as many markers on a clip that you want, or go to the head of the section of the clip you want to go back to who is it on your calendar, select and press the f key, which move the monitor Panel source to this point and add to points that correspond to the clip as it is on the timeline.

    ... once they are changed, it changes what I had previously added to the timeline?

    I know there is an option to make a subclip. Is this the only option?

    Subclips, using markers, other methods - there are different options depending on how you want to work.

    I wouldn't even be sure how to do this in a workflow. In other words, I should have been the subitem knowing first that I go back and shoot another section of the same sequence

    You can make a subelement at any time. But if you start with a pair of pliers long source you want to extract raw materials, you already know he's going to be multiple-point involved over time on the same element in source.
