parentTimeEnd Property

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

Syntax

[ iTime = ] currTimeState.parentTimeEnd

Possible Values

iTime Integer that receives the current element's end time, in seconds.
The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

Remarks

This property represents the sum of the parentTimeBegin and activeDur properties. For example, if an element has a begin time of four seconds, a duration (dur) of 10 seconds, and autoReverse set to true, the value of the parentTimeEnd property will be 24 seconds.

Example

This example uses the parentTimeEnd property to retrieve the current element's end time.
