Methods

Instances

EventListener addEventListener (eventType: string, handler: varies[, captures: bool=false])
Adds an event listener.

ParameterTypeDescription
eventTypestringThe event type.
handlerFile
JavaScript Function
The event handler. Can accept: File or JavaScript Function.
capturesboolThis parameter is obsolete. (Optional) (default: false)

Array of TimingGroup getElements ()
Resolves the object specifier, creating an array of object references.

TimingGroup move (to: LocationOptions[, reference: varies])
Moves the timing group or target to the specified location.

ParameterTypeDescription
toLocationOptions:
LocationOptions.BEFORE
LocationOptions.AFTER
LocationOptions.AT_END
LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING
LocationOptions.UNKNOWN
The location in relation to the reference object or within the containing object.
referenceTimingGroup
TimingList
TimingTarget
The reference object. Note: Required when the to parameter specifies before or after. . Can accept: TimingGroup, TimingTarget or TimingList. (Optional)

void remove ()
Deletes the TimingGroup.

bool removeEventListener (eventType: string, handler: varies[, captures: bool=false])
Removes the event listener.

ParameterTypeDescription
eventTypestringThe registered event type.
handlerFile
JavaScript Function
The registered event handler. Can accept: File or JavaScript Function.
capturesboolThis parameter is obsolete. (Optional) (default: false)

string toSource ()
Generates a string which, if executed, will return the TimingGroup.

string toSpecifier ()
Retrieves the object specifier.

void unlink ()
Unlink all targets in the group into separate groups in this timing list.
