The SequenceInstance class implements the instance class for the Sequence effect. Flex creates an instance of this class when it plays a Sequence effect; you do not create one yourself.

playheadTime

property
playheadTime:Number[override]

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0

    override public function set playheadTime(value:Number):void
Constructor Detail

SequenceInstance

()Constructor
public function SequenceInstance(target:Object)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Parameters
target:Object — This argument is ignored for Sequence effects. It is included only for consistency with other types of effects.
Method Detail

end

()method
override public function end():void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Interrupts any effects that are currently playing, skips over any effects that haven't started playing, and jumps immediately to the end of the composite effect.

onEffectEnd

()method 
override protected function onEffectEnd(childEffect:IEffectInstance):void

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flex 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Each time a child effect of SequenceInstance finishes, Flex calls the onEffectEnd() method. For SequenceInstance, it plays the next effect. This method implements the method of the superclass.

Parameters

childEffect:IEffectInstance — The child effect.
