To invokeSet the element's begin time. The value of the element's begin time, which can depend on other elements, determines when the event actually fires.
Default actionCalls the associated event handler.

This event also fires for the element when the beginElement method is invoked on it, or in response to other dependencies created by the BEGINWITH or BEGINEVENT attribute. This event does not fire when the timeline on the element is set to repeat. However, it fires if the parent element's timeline is set to repeat.
