This section contains reference information on additional features of the object model exposed by the time2 behavior, including content control elements, system test attributes, timing attributes and properties, and several overviews on Introduction to HTML+TIME functionality.
About Content Selection: System Test Attributes and t:SWITCHHTML+TIME 2.0 provides authors with the option to display different elements based on system settings.
Animating with keyTimes and keySplinesUsing the keyTimes and keySplines attributes, you can divide an animation element's simple duration into multiple segments, speed up or slow down the animation at multiple rates during a single duration, and specify values for the animation to reach at particular points in its duration.
Getting Started with HTML+TIMEHTML+TIME (Timed Interactive Multimedia Extensions) makes it fast and easy to support timed, animated, and multimedia content on your pages.
Seeking With HTML+TIMEIn HTML+TIME various types of media, animation, and other time elements can be played over a period of time. It is often desirable to be able to jump to any point on this time line. This process of jumping to different points on a time element's time line is called seeking.
Using HTML+TIME with DirectMusicThis article briefly discusses some of the ways you can use HTML+TIME to add flexibility and control to Microsoft?DirectMusic?content on the Web.
Using the HTML+TIME Document Object Model (DOM)All HTML+TIME objects are accessible through script at run time. This article introduces you to the HTML+TIME objects, methods, events, and properties available to your Web pages.
Incorporate the time2 BehaviorThis tutorial explains how to incorporate the time2 behavior in your Web pages so you can begin using timelines, multimedia, and animation with HTML elements.
currTimeStateContains information about an HTML+TIME timeline.
switchEnables you to provide several choices and display content depending on which choice is true on the user's computer.

speedRetrieves the playback speed of an element at run time, which includes the cascading effect of the speed set for the parent time container.
stateRetrieves the current state of the element's timeline.
stateStringRetrieves the current state of the element's timeline.
syncBehaviorSets or retrieves a value that indicates the synchronization rules for the element's timeline.
syncMasterSets or retrieves whether the time container must synchronize playback to this element.
syncToleranceSets or retrieves the time variance allowed on a timeline with locked synchronization.
systemBitrateRetrieves the approximate bandwidth available to the system in bits-per-second.
systemCaptionsIndicates whether or not to display a text equivalent of the audio portion of the presentation.
systemLanguageIndicates whether a given language is selected in a user's system preferences.
systemOverdubOrSubtitleSpecifies whether overdubs or subtitles render during a presentation.
timeActionSets or retrieves what action is taken on the element while the timeline is active.
timeContainerSets or retrieves the type of timeline associated with an element.
timeParentRetrieves the parent time container element of the current element.
volumeSets or retrieves the volume of the media file.
activeTimeToParentTimeConverts a value in the element's active timeline to the corresponding point in the parent timeline.
activeTimeToSegmentTimeConverts a value in the element's active timeline to the corresponding point in the segment timeline.
beginElementStarts the element on the timeline.
beginElementAtStarts an element's timeline at the specified time.
documentTimeToParentTimeConverts a value in the document timeline to the corresponding point in the element's parent timeline.
endElementStops the element on the timeline.
endElementAtEnds an element's timeline at the specified time.
parentTimeToActiveTimeConverts a value in the parent timeline to the corresponding point in the element's active timeline.
parentTimeToDocumentTimeConverts a value in the element's parent timeline to the corresponding point in the document timeline.
pauseElementStops playing an element's timeline at the current point.
resetElementRemoves any changes made to the element and returns the element to its original state.
resumeElementRestarts the element's timeline from a paused state.
seekActiveTimeLocates a specified point on the element's active timeline and begins playing from that point.
seekToLocates a specified point on the element's segment timeline, including repetitions, and begins playing from that point.
seekToFrameLocates a specified frame in the object.
segmentTimeToActiveTimeConverts a value in the element's segment timeline to the corresponding point in the element's active timeline.
