Remarks
The by property cannot be used on the same element as the to property. If both properties are specified, the by value is ignored.
When writing script to dynamically change the properties of an active animation, results might be unpredictable or undefined. Rrestart the animation with beginElement after you change the properties. the following example shows how to use beginElement.
<SCRIPT> object.endElement(); object.to='400'; object.beginElement(); </SCRIPT>
For the animate objec, the animateMotionobject, and the animateColor object, the time2 behavior uses the following model to evaluate which properties to animate.
- The path property overrides any setting for the values property, the from property, the to property, or the by property.
- The values property, if specified, overrides any setting for the from property, the to property, or the by property.
- The from property is used, unless the values property or the path property is specified.
- The to property, if specified, overrides any setting for the by property.
- The by property doesn't override any properties.
Tthe following script shows how to change an active animation from a path value to a to value.
<SCRIPT> object.endElement(); object.path=null; object.to='400'; object.beginElement(); </SCRIPT>
