Scripting - Sharing Sequences

Let us say that my scene has X number of objects and I want all of them to fade out over a period of 2 seconds. I have created a sequence for one object that performs this fade-out animation, but I want to run this sequence simultaneously on all other objects so that all of them fade out together. What is the best way to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

You can create a sequence in code, assign the string keyframes that set the props, then apply to as many objects as you like. var s = new Sequence("myfade2", 0.2); s.createKeyframe(0.2, "<prop id='opacity' type='float' tweenin='stepped' value='0.0'/>"); var objs = scene.objectGetArray(); for(var i in objs) {     objs[i].sequencePlay(s); } fadetest.dxstudio

(Also what's neat about the above code is it will fade from whatever their opacity currently is, as the keyframe at 0.0 seconds is implicitly their current value).

Thank you, that works splendidly
