progress Property

Retrieves the current progress of the element's timeline.

Syntax

[ fProgress = ] currTimeState.progress

Possible Values

fProgress Floating-point that receives the current progress along the element's timeline, as compared to the element's simpleDur property. Valid values for this property are in the range between 0.0 and 1.0.
The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

Remarks

The value of this property is continuously updated for the duration of the element's timeline. If the autoReverse property is set to true, then progress begins decrementing from 1 until it reaches 0, or the end of the timeline.

Example

The following example shows how to display the progress of the timeline as a percentage.
