Members Table

The following table lists the members exposed by the seq object.

Attribute Property Description
t:ACCELERATE accelerate

Sets or gets a value that applies an acceleration to the element's local timeline.

t:AUTOREVERSE autoReverse

Sets or gets whether the timeline on an element immediately begins playing in reverse after completing in the forward direction.

t:BEGIN begin

Sets or gets the delay time before the timeline begins playing on the element.

t:BEGINAFTER beginAfter

Sets or gets a value indicating that the timeline of an element starts when the referenced element ends.

t:BEGINEVENT beginEvent

Sets or gets a value that starts the timeline of an element when the referenced event occurs.

t:BEGINWITH beginWith

Sets or gets a value that starts an element timeline at the same time as the referenced element.

currTime

Gets a value indicating the current time on the simple duration as defined by the element's t:DUR attribute or the t:END attribute.

t:DECELERATE decelerate

Sets or gets a value that applies a deceleration to the end of a simple duration.

t:DUR dur

Sets or gets a value indicating the amount of time the element remains active or displayed.

t:END end

Sets or gets a value indicating the end time for the element, or the end of the simple duration when the element is set to repeat.

t:ENDEVENT endEvent

Sets or gets a value indicating that the timeline of an element ends immediately when the referenced event occurs, regardless of the element's repeat count or repeatDur property.

t:ENDHOLD endHold

Sets or gets whether an element remains active if its timeline ends before the timeline on its parent element ends.

t:EVENTRESTART eventRestart

Sets or gets whether the element should restart if a beginEvent call occurs while the local timeline is already running.

localTime

Gets a value indicating the current time along the local duration, as defined by the element's t:REPEAT atribute or t:REPEATDUR attribute.

t:REPEAT repeat

Sets or gets the number of times an element timeline repeats.

t:REPEATDUR repeatDur

Sets or gets the number of seconds an element timeline repeats.

t:SYNCBEHAVIOR syncBehavior

Sets or gets the synchronization rules for the element timeline.

syncTolerance

Gets the time variance allowed on a timeline with locked synchronization.

t:TIMEACTION timeAction

Sets or gets the action that is taken on the element while the timeline is active.

Event Property Description
onbegin

Fires when the timeline starts on an element.

onend

Fires when the timeline stops on an element.

onmediacomplete

Fires when the element's associated media is finished loading.

onmedialoadfailed

Fires when an element's media file fails to load for any reason.

onmediaslip

Fires when an element's media file fails to keep up with the defined timeline.

onpause

Fires when the timeline on an element pauses.

onrepeat

Fires when the timeline repeats on an element, beginning with the second iteration.

onresume

Fires when an element's timeline resumes from a paused state.

onresync

Fires when the element's associated media synchronization is interrupted.

onreverse

Fires when the timeline on an element begins to play backward.

Method Description
beginElement

Starts the element on the timeline.

endElement

Stops the element on the timeline.

Remarks

All timed HTML descendants of this XML element have sequential timing. A duration value ( dur property) must be specified or the next element in the sequence might never be displayed. Elements without timing attributes are ignored by the timing mechanism and are statically rendered. A timed element is an HTML element with an associated time behavior.

The prefix t is used to associate this element with an XML namespace. You must include the following line of code in the head section of your HTML document when using this element.

<XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX="t"/>

The t:SEQ element is available as of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, only in the Microsoft Win32 platform.

Example

This example uses the t:SEQ element to display a sequence of text lines without specifying begin times for each timed element in the sequence.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX="t"/>
<STYLE>
  .time    {behavior: url(#default#time);}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white">
<t:SEQ ID="parent" CLASS="time" t:BEGIN="0" t:DUR="indefinite"> 
    <DIV ID="div1" CLASS="time" t:DUR="2">First line of text.</DIV>
    <DIV ID="div1" CLASS="time" t:DUR="2">Second line of text.</DIV>
    <DIV ID="div1" CLASS="time" t:DUR="2">Third line of text.</DIV>
    <DIV ID="div1" CLASS="time" t:DUR="2">Fourth line of text.</DIV>
    <SPAN STYLE="color:black" ID="span1" CLASS="time"
    t:DUR="indefinite"><B>End of sequence.</B></SPAN>
</t:SEQ>
</BODY>
</HTML>
