Question

In Adobe Edge Animate, how to get Symbol’s current time ?

I use a mix of jQuery & Adobe Edge codes to program my page. I want to check if a symbol’s time stays at first frame (if in Flash’s concept).

$(window).scroll(function(e) 
{
   var the_stage = $.Edge.getComposition("EDGE-123456").getStage();
   var sym = the_stage.getSymbol(id);
   // how to get current time ?
});

Answer 1

Finally found a solution. To get the current time, use:

var pos = sym.getPosition()

pos is an integer . If the symbol hasn’t played before, its value is -1, else it is the position in milliseconds.
