--------- Hi I know that this is probably very simple, but I'm afraid I'm not getting it. I'm trying to write a coffee tag pluggin and to fill an array. I want to use a loop to scroll through the frames and fill the user data info for each frame. I've tried:
var i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < max_frame; i = i + 1) { BaseTime (i,25); doc->SetTime();
print (frame); print (","); print( arr_number[frame]); println(" "); }
but I'm not having any joy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Conor

Thanks Matthias, I've tried this but its still not doing what I expected, instead of printing each frame and its user data, it prints out the current frame and its user date ,again and again, for the length of the loop. Is there a simpler way to fill an array ( made up of each frame and its user data)?

If I understand you correctly you want to fill an array with user data for each frame. If so then i think a COFFEE tag is not the best way to do it. Have you looked into writing a COFFEE script or MenuPlugin instead?

No. I'll start reading up on this now. Cheers Conor

The thing is a COFFEE tag is an expression which is called for eachframe and every change you make. A script or MenuPlugin is called just once by the user.
Btw. if you use SetTime() you also have to call AnimateDocument() to actually animate the document.
