activeDur Property

Retrieves the total duration of the timeline.

Syntax

[ iTime = ] currTimeState.activeDur

Possible Values

iTime Integer that receives the total duration of the timeline, in seconds.
The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

Remarks

This property includes the repeatDur time and the effect of the autoReverse property, if applicable. For example, a timeline with a duration (dur) of five seconds, a repeatCount of 3, and autoReverse set to true would yield an activeDur of 30 seconds.
