[JSFL] setInstanceNames
Have you had this kind of experience?
When you have finished creating a timeline animation like above, you notice that you forget to set instance names.
Yes, I have.
In fact, I’d rather prefer not using timeline, namely scripting only, but I had to manage flash lite authoring at the office recently. And I made the mistake often.
It’s imperative to set instance names because without it, script doesn’t work properly. However, it’s not my job(yes, it’s mine as a matter of fact), PC, you should do it.
Therefore, I wrote a JSFL which sets all of instance’s name in the same layer.
My motto is “I’ll work hard to give me a rest”
After downloading MXP file, execute it. ExtensionManager automatically install it to your system.
You can run this command from command menu.
Notice, as I intend to use this command for timeline animation,
・Keyframe must not contain more than two objects
・An error occurs if the command found none-MovieClip instance object
・The command changes all of instances’ name in the same layer.
Any comments, bug reports, whatever will be welcomed.

The Tortoise and the Hare
You know the fable ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’, don’t you?
The summary of the story is like this.
Once upon a time, a hare and a tortoise decided to have a race over the mountain.
The hare started swiftly while the tortoise walked painfully slow.
Letting his guard down, the hare dropped asleep.
When his rival was having a nap, the tortoise was making headway slowly but steadily.
When the hare became awake, the tortoise has already reached the goal.
What I had learnt from this story when I was a child was, “Don’t be lazy like the hare, otherwise, you can’t win any races even though you could”.
However, a book, which I read recently, taught me an astonishingly different aspect.
An creature, who decided the goal, ‘over the mountain’ was in fact the tortoise.
In other words, the tortoise had recognised these facts and challenged the match to the hare.
-The hare was very swift but only for a short distance.
-He is very lazy so will have a rest
-In contrast, the tortoise himself was slow but can make progress without having a rest.
What a clever tactician the tortoise was!
An old Chinese military treatise, the Art of War written by Sun Tzu tells, ‘If you know both yourself and your enemy, you will come out of one hundred battles with one hundred victories.’ This is exactly what the tortoise did.
Before knowing this, I had thought the fable shows a lessen, ‘Don’t be lazy, like the hare’. But, by changing the vantage point, there is an another lesson ‘Progress steadily like the tortoise’.
It’s not easy as saying but the episode encouraged me to give one more shot.
