segmentTime Property | Internet Development Index |
Retrieves the current point in time along a segment of time.
Syntax
[ iTime = ] currTimeState.segmentTimePossible Values
iTime Integer that receives the current point in time along a segment of time, in seconds. The value of this property ranges from 0 to segmentDur. The property is read-only. The property has no default value.
Remarks
The segmentTime property contains the time elapsed since the beginning of the current iteration through an object's timeline. This includes time spent in reverse mode. Run the example below and note how segmentTime accumulates as the timeline goes forward and backward, then starts over when the repeatCount increments.
Example
This example shows how activeTime, segmentTime, and simpleTime relate to each other.
