AnimateProperty

DAString Class

Allows control properties to be animated (vary over time). This function forms fragments of script and passes them to the scripting engine on every frame. When the invoke parameter is FALSE, the property is set directly as shown in this fragment from the JScript sample in JScript\Templates\AnimatedProperties.html:

filterStr = filterStr.AnimateProperty("DropWave1.style.filter", "JScript", false, .1));

If the invoke parameter is TRUE, then a function name should be specified in the string parameter (property) and is invoked as shown in this fragment from the same JScript sample:

filterMethod = getNumber().AnimateProperty("SetFilter", "JScript", true, .1);

stringObj.AnimateProperty(
  property,
  language,
  invoke,
  update
  )

Parameters

property

A string that is either the name of the property to animate or the name of a scripting function to invoke that will set the property.

language

A string that is name of the scripting language.

invoke

A boolean that determines if the property is set directly or if a function is invoked. If FALSE, the property is set directly. If TRUE, a function is invoked.

interval

A double specifying how frequently the position is updated.

Return Values
