  • Type Flash
  • Type the shortcut Fla

Description

The Flash keyword is a playback keyword which is used to temporarily overwrite master level in order to set it to full on executing objects without using times.

If the executor is disabled and Flash is applied, the executor is temporarily activated using zero timing. 

For more information on how to assign executors see Assign Objects to an Executor. 

Hint:
If you press and hold an executor, this playback keyword will directly interact with a sequence or preset. Additionally, it can also be used with pool objects:
  1. Enter the keyword in the command line. 
  2. Tap and hold the pool object.
  3. The action will be applied as long as you keep holding the pool object.

Syntax

Flash (On/Off) [Object] ["Object_Name" or Object_Number]
