This section contains reference information on additional features of the object model exposed by the time2 behavior, including content control elements, system test attributes, timing attributes and properties, and several overviews on introduction to html+time functionality.

overviews

about content selection: system test attributes and t:switch

html+time 2.0 provides authors with the option to display different elements based on system settings.

Animating with keyTimes and keySplines

Using the keytimes and keysplines attributes, you can divide an animation element's simple duration into multiple segments, speed up or slow down the animation at multiple rates during a single duration, and specify values for the animation to reach at particular points in its duration.

Getting Started with HTML+TIME

HTML+TIME (Timed Interactive Multimedia Extensions) makes it fast and easy to support timed, animated, and multimedia content on your pages.

Seeking With HTML+TIME

In HTML+TIME various types of media, animation, and other time elements can be played over a period of time. It is often desirable to be able to jump to any point on this time line. This process of jumping to different points on a time element's time line is called seeking.

Using HTML+TIME with DirectMusic

This article briefly discusses some of the ways you can use HTML+TIME to add flexibility and control to Microsoft?DirectMusic?content on the Web.

Using the HTML+TIME Document Object Model (DOM)

All HTML+TIME objects are accessible through script at run time. This article introduces you to the HTML+TIME objects, methods, events, and properties available to your Web pages.

Tutorials

Incorporate the time2 Behavior

This tutorial explains how to incorporate the time2 behavior in your Web pages so you can begin using timelines, multimedia, and animation with HTML elements.

Elements and Objects

currTimeState

Contains information about an HTML+TIME timeline.

switch

Enables you to provide several choices and display content depending on which choice is true on the user's computer.

Attributes and Properties

Retrieves a value that specifies whether the element is paused on the timeline.

lower

Controls how elements that are defined with lower priority interrupt child elements of a priorityClass element.

parentTimeBegin

Retrieves the current element's begin time as an offset from the parent element's begin time.

Sets or retrieves what action is taken on the element while the timeline is active.

timeContainer

Sets or retrieves the type of timeline associated with an element.

timeParent

Retrieves the parent time container element of the current element.

volume

Sets or retrieves the volume of the media file.

Methods

activeTimeToParentTime

Converts a value in the element's active timeline to the corresponding point in the parent timeline.

activeTimeToSegmentTime

Converts a value in the element's active timeline to the corresponding point in the segment timeline.

beginElement

Starts the element on the timeline.

beginElementAt

Starts an element's timeline at the specified time.

documentTimeToParentTime

Converts a value in the document timeline to the corresponding point in the element's parent timeline.

endElement

Stops the element on the timeline.

endElementAt

Ends an element's timeline at the specified time.

parentTimeToActiveTime

Converts a value in the parent timeline to the corresponding point in the element's active timeline.

parentTimeToDocumentTime

Converts a value in the element's parent timeline to the corresponding point in the document timeline.

pauseElement

Stops playing an element's timeline at the current point.

resetElement

Removes any changes made to the element and returns the element to its original state.
