hi there,

is there a keyword to directly access the current playing position of a movie?

smth like ctrl_layer_movie_position ? I would like to access the currently played frame to skip back a few frames with a single button...

You can use :

ctrl_layer_movie_shuttle1
or
ctrl_layer_movie_shuttle2

For that...

Sorry, but imho this does not work for my idea. If I getValue('ctrl_layer_movie_shuttle1'...) I will only get the value of the slider for that shuttle- UI. It will not display the current movie playing position.

What I want to do is: I would like to have a button, that skips the currently playing movie a few frames back ( a kind of stutter).

Ok, I understand, sorry we dont have this key at time...
We will add in a futur version... I put it on my todo list...

Isn't access to this function available in 2.5? I believed it was going to be in 2.5.

I didnt find anything like that in the keyword libary of 2.5b2...

öhm....
I just found the following keyword:

Code: Select all

modul8.getValue('direct_layer_timePosition',0)

isn't this a keyword for the current playing movie position?
