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).

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

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?
