how do I get a "movie file in" index?

Beginners

I want to do things based on the time of the movie clip, but “index” does not seem to work.

On the documentation there is nothing mentioned about how to get the index of a movie file…

I dragged “movie file in” onto a parameters chop, but The index mentioned there is the index of the project, not the movie file…

I use an info CHOP to get all of that and then just reference the CHOP.

You can also access it directly with an expression:

docs.derivative.ca/MoviefileinTOP_Class

Use the ‘index’ member.
Example: op(‘moviefilein1’).index
