endElement Method

Stops the element on the timeline.

Syntax

object.endElement()

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

This method applies the same action as would occur if the element's end time were reached on the local timeline, or if the element's duration (dur) had expired. All timed child elements are notified and aligned correctly to the local timeline. The endElement method fires the onend event.

Example

This example shows how to end a timeline using the endElement method.
