Frame referencing

[Nightfall02]

Hi all,

I'm sure this is relatively simple, but seeing as how I know little of action script, perhaps someone could help me out.

I have a large scene to which I animated the lip sync inside of a head symbol. To prevent me from bogging down the computer, I animated the character with a single-frame "dummy" head so I could complete the full motion and now have to replace the head to finish the scene. The replacement part is not the issue, it's making every keyframe match the right frame inside the head. Right now, they all say "Single Frame: 1408". I would need a way to make every keyframe reflect whatever the timeline it is on.

Example, if the keyframe is on frame 14, the keyframe would say "Single Frame: 14", if it's on 2506, then it would say 2506, and so on.

I know there's a trick to tween everything, do a "sync", type in the first keyframe and then remove the tween.... but then I would lose all of the animation/tweens already in place. Can anyone help me out?

This should do it for you:

It will search selected frames for graphic symbols and set their startFrame property to match the timeline.

To run it on the head symbol, you should be able to select all of the frames on the layer by clicking on the layer, the go up to the Commands menu and select Sync Symbols to Timeline.

Thank you so much, Justin! This is perfect!
