AnimatorGroup

Manages a collection of Animators

Remarks

AnimatorGroup uses its ID_mode property to decide how to run the animations. If ID_mode is set to ID_parallel (the default), the child animators are executed in parallel. If ID_mode is set to ID_sequential, the child animators are run one after the other.

Properties

ID_animatorId (inherited from AnimatorBase)The ID this animator is known by.
ID_childAnimatorsA SitedList of child animators.
ID_modeEither ID_sequential or ID_parallel.

AnimatorGroup add method

Adds a child animator to this animator

JavaScript

animatorGroup.add(animator)

AnimatorGroup ID_childAnimators property

A SitedList of child animators.

JavaScript

var animatorList = animatorGroup.getValue(ID_childAnimators)
animatorGroup.setValue(ID_childAnimators, animatorList)

Xml

<j:AnimatorGroup>
    <j:Animator ... />
    <j:Animator ... />
    ...
</j:AnimatorGroup>

Remarks

Set to a SitedList containing the child animators of this group.

See Also

AnimatorGroup ID_mode property

Either ID_sequential or ID_parallel.

JavaScript

var idname = animatorGroup.getValue(ID_mode)
animatorGroup.setValue(ID_mode, idname)

Xml

<j:AnimatorGroup mode="sequential"  ... >
or
<j:AnimatorGroup mode="parallel"  ... >

Remarks

If this is ID_sequential, the child animators are run in sequence - when this animator starts, it starts the first child animator, runs it to completion, then starts the second child animator and so on.

If this is ID_parallel, all of the child animators are started as soon as this animator is started.
