[ITIMEElement may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions of the operating system or product.]

Exposes methods to manipulate the time node.

The ITIMEElement interface inherits from the IDispatch interface. ITIMEElement also has these types of members:

Methods

The ITIMEElement interface has these methods.

Method	Description
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.
nextElement	Advances the timeline so that the next element in the sequence begins playing.
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.
prevElement	Resets the timeline so that the previous element in the sequence begins playing.
resetElement	Removes any changes made to the element and returns the element to its original state.
resumeElement	Restarts the element's timeline from a paused state.
seekActiveTime	Locates a specified point on the element's active timeline and begins playing from that point.
seekSegmentTime	Locates the specified point on the element's segment timeline, and begins playing from that point.
seekTo	Locates a specified point on the element's segment timeline, including repetitions, and begins playing from that point.
segmentTimeToActiveTime	Converts a value in the element's segment timeline to the corresponding point in the element's active timeline.
segmentTimeToSimpleTime	Converts a value in the element's segment timeline to the corresponding point in the element's simple timeline.
simpleTimeToSegmentTime	Converts a value in the element's simple timeline to the corresponding point in the element's segment timeline.

 

Properties

The ITIMEElement interface has these properties.

Property	Description
accelerate	Sets or gets a value that applies an acceleration to an element timeline.
activeElements	Returns a reference to the collection of all top-level child elements of the object that are currently active on the timeline.
autoReverse	Sets or gets whether the timeline on an element begins playing in reverse immediately after it completes in the forward direction.
begin	Sets or gets the delay time before the timeline begins playing on the element.
currTimeState	Retrieves the current time state object.
decelerate	Sets or gets a value that applies a deceleration to the end of a simple duration.
dur	Sets or gets a value indicating the amount of time the element remains active or displayed.
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.
endSync	Sets or gets the synchronization rule that specifies which child element is used to determine when the time container ends.
fill	Sets or gets the action taken by an element if the element timeline ends before the timeline on its parent element ends.
hasMedia	Gets a VARIANT_BOOL value that indicates whether the element is an Introduction to HTML+TIME media element.
isPaused	Gets a value that specifies whether the element is paused on the timeline.
mute	Sets or gets a value that indicates whether the audio is turned on or off.
repeatCount	Sets or gets the number of times an element timeline repeats.
repeatDur	Sets or gets the number of seconds that an element timeline repeats.
restart	Sets or gets the conditions under which an element can be restarted on a timeline.
speed	Sets or gets the playback speed of an element relative to its parent time container.
syncBehavior	Sets or gets a value that indicates the synchronization rules for the element timeline.
syncMaster	Sets or gets whether the time container must synchronize playback to this element.
syncTolerance	Sets or gets the time variance that is allowed on a timeline with locked synchronization.
timeAction	Sets or gets the action that is taken on the element while the timeline is active.
timeAll	Retrieves a reference to the collection of all timed elements.
timeChildren	Retrieves a reference to the collection of all timed, top-level children elements.
timeContainer	Sets or gets the type of timeline associated with an element.
timeParent	Gets the parent time container element of the current element.
updateMode	Sets or gets a value that indicates how the object is to be updated.
volume	Sets or gets the volume of the media file.
