currentTime on spinner

Submitted by SugaR on Fri, 2013-12-06 17:46

Hi guys

I have an issue to get the currentTime in real time while playing an animation in a spinner.

I can easily get the CurrentTime in a spinner like this:

spn_CT.value = currentTime

but this way it's not in real time while playing an animation.

If anyone have an idea, thanks a lot :)

No one in particular, just read it sometimes.
But I know you can do some very nice stuff with, I already give it a try, but it really hurt my brain :p
Since I don't have any good knowledge on programing, for know I prefered to focus on mxs.
I will also begin to learn C, but mostly I'm a 3D artist so I prefer to do 3D stuff than scripting ^^

thanks for the help anyway :)

.

This will prints the curent frame number as it is shown in the time slider:

spn_Time.value = (slidertime as string)as integer

Or you can use this:

spn_Time.value = (slidertime.frame as integer)

Hi barigazi, always here to help me :)

Thanks but it's not working (actually it's the way I defined the spinner).

Maybe you didn't understand what I mean, so i'll try to explain a bit better.

for example, if you use this: 

fn time_p = print currentTime
registerTimeCallback time_p

you'll see in the listener that you print every frame while playing the animation, and this is what I want in my spinner.

unregisterTimeCallback time_p

=> to delete the callback if you try it :)

Are you vant to unregisterTimeCallback if you spinner value is greater then or lower then animation range?

If Yes then

on spn_CT changed val do
(
	if val < animationRange.start.frame or val > animationRange.end.frame then 
	(
		unregisterTimeCallback time_p
	)
	else slidertime = val
 
)

If you vant to get slider time in seconds then try like this

slidertime.frame/framerate
