layer_sequence_get_instance

With this function you supply the sequence element ID - as returned by layer_sequence_create() or by one of the layer element functions - and it will return the sequence instance struct. You can find out more about the format of the sequence instance struct on The Sequence Instance Struct page.

Syntax:

layer_sequence_get_instance(sequence_element_id)

Returns:

Sequence Instance Struct

Example:

var _seq = layer_sequence_create("Background", 0, 0, seq_AnimatedBackground);
var _struct = layer_sequence_get_instance(_seq);
_struct.speedScale = 0.5;

The above code creates a new sequence element and then retrieves its sequence instance ID. This is then used to change the playback speed scale property of the sequence instance.
