Show: Attributes Methods Events

Attribute Description accelerate Defines a simple acceleration of time for the element. Legal values are floating point values between 0 and 1 (inclusive). The default value is 0 (no acceleration). autoReverse Controls autoReverse playback mode. Acceptable values: Value Description true Reverse playing. false Do not reverse playing. This is the default. begin Defines when the element becomes active. decelerate Defines a simple deceleration of time for the element. Legal values are floating point values between 0 and 1 (inclusive). The default value is 0 (no deceleration). dur Specifies the simple duration. end Defines an end value for the element that may constrain the active duration. repeatCount Specifies the number of iterations of the simple duration (Numeric value). When set to "indefinite" the element is defined to repeat indefinitely repeatDur Specifies the total duration for repeat (Clock value). When set to "indefinite" the element is defined to repeat indefinitely speed The speed attribute controls the local playback speed of an element, to speed up or slow down the effective rate of play relative to the parent time container. Property Type Readonly Description Method Returns Description beginElement Boolean Causes this element to begin the local timeline. Sytaxis: object.beginElement() beginElementAt Boolean Causes this element to begin the local timeline, at the passed offset from the current time when the method is called. Sytaxis: object.beginElementAt(offset) Arguments: Name Type O/R Description offset Number Required The offset in seconds at which to begin the element. endElement Boolean Causes this element to end the local timeline. Sytaxis: object.endElement() endElementAt Boolean Causes this element to end the local timeline at the specified offset from the current time when the method is called. Sytaxis: object.endElementAt(offset) Arguments: Name Type O/R Description offset Number Required The offset in seconds at which to begin the element. pauseElement Void Pauses element. Sytaxis: object.pauseElement() resumeElement Void Resumes element. Sytaxis: object.resumeElement() seekElement Void Resumes element. Sytaxis: object.seekElement(seekTo) Arguments: Name Type O/R Description seekTo Required seekTo value. Event B C Interface Description begin - - SMILTimeEvent This event is raised when the element local timeline begins to play. It will be raised each time the element begins the active duration. end - - SMILTimeEvent This event is raised at the active end of the element. Note that this event is not raised at the simple end of each repeat. repeat - - SMILTimeEvent This event is raised when the element local timeline repeats. It will be raised each time the element repeats, after the first iteration. Pseudo-class Description Constant Value Description
