Hello Simone,

It’s been a while since I did this, but I think the updated script is part of the tutorial download.

I’m basing that on a comment late in the thread there though “If you’re having problems with the script, you may need to download the tutorial files which contain a new version of the “Convert Keyframes to Markers” script. Just replace the existing script in your After Effects application folder with the new one and you’re good to go.”

Here’s a link that the tutorial mentions:

Good luck!

After doing some digging on the web, I found the updated version of Convert Selected Properties to Markers.jsx that Eric Schlenker mentioned above.

On the official Adobe blogs there is a video tutorial called “Creating Interactive Video with After Effects and Flash” by Michael Coleman. You can see it at the URL below.

https://blogs.adobe.com/keyframes/2007/10/creating_interactive_video_wit.html

In that tutorial, he provides a download of the files he shows. Included in that download is an updated version of Convert Selected Properties to Markers.jsx that will fill in a “name” value when creating your markers. If there is nothing in the name field, Flash can’t detect the cue point event.

There’s a bit of AS3 code in the help that might get you started down the right path. (I’ve also used a variation on this in AS2 as well.)

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.client = this;
ns.play(“video.flv”);

var vid:Video = new Video();
vid.attachNetStream(ns);
addChild(vid);

function onMetaData(infoObject:Object):void
{
var key:String;
for (key in infoObject)
{
trace(key + “: ” + infoObject[key]);
}
}

Hello Eric,

You mentioned that if there weren’t little black dots on the markers, the script might need to be updated. Can you send that to me/tell me how to fix that?

Thanks!
