Sets or retrieves a value that indicates whether the animation is cumulative.

Syntax

Scriptingobject.accumulate(val) [ = sType ]

Possible Values

sTypeString that specifies or receives one of the following values:
noneDefault. Repeat iterations are not cumulative.
sumEach repeat iteration after the first one builds upon the last value of the previous iteration.

The property is read/write. The property has a default value of none.

This property is ignored if the target attribute value does not support addition, or if the repeatCount value is one. Also, cumulative animation is not defined for animation specified using the to attribute.

This example demonstrates the two uses of the accumulate property; none and sum.
