Interface TimeEvent

All Superinterfaces:

Event

public interface TimeEvent
extends Event

The TimeEvent interface provides specific contextual information associated with Time events.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	getDetail()	Specifies some detail information about the Event, depending on the type of event.
AbstractView	getView()	The view attribute identifies the AbstractView from which the event was generated.
void	initTimeEvent(String typeArg, AbstractView viewArg, int detailArg)	The initTimeEvent method is used to initialize the value of a TimeEvent created through the DocumentEvent interface.

Method Details

getView

AbstractView getView()

The view attribute identifies the AbstractView from which the event was generated.

getDetail

int getDetail()

Specifies some detail information about the Event, depending on the type of event.

initTimeEvent

void initTimeEvent(String typeArg,
 AbstractView viewArg,
 int detailArg)

The initTimeEvent method is used to initialize the value of a TimeEvent created through the DocumentEvent interface. This method may only be called before the TimeEvent has been dispatched via the dispatchEvent method, though it may be called multiple times during that phase if necessary. If called multiple times, the final invocation takes precedence.

The different types of events that can occur are:

begin

This event is raised when the element local timeline begins to play. It will be raised each time the element begins the active duration (i.e. when it restarts, but not when it repeats). It may be raised both in the course of normal (i.e. scheduled or interactive) timeline play, as well as in the case that the element was begun with the beginElement() or beginElementAt() methods. Note that if an element is restarted while it is currently playing, the element will raise an end event and another begin event, as the element restarts.

• Bubbles: No
• Cancelable: No
• Context Info: None

end

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. This event may be raised both in the course of normal (i.e. scheduled or interactive) timeline play, as well as in the case that the element was ended with the endElement() or endElementAt() methods. Note that if an element is restarted while it is currently playing, the element will raise an end event and another begin event, as the element restarts.

• Bubbles: No
• Cancelable: No
• Context Info: None

repeat

This event is raised when the element local timeline repeats. It will be raised each time the element repeats, after the first iteration.
The event provides a numerical indication of which repeat iteration is beginning. The value is a 0-based integer, but the repeat event is not raised for the first iteration and so the observed values of the detail attribute will be >= 1.

• Bubbles: No
• Cancelable: No
• Context Info: detail (current iteration)

Parameters:

typeArg - Specifies the event type.

viewArg - Specifies the Event's AbstractView.

detailArg - Specifies the Event's detail.
