[x3d-public] Playback controller

[Max Limper]

Hi,

my colleague Pasquale (CC) did something similar in one of his X3DOM 
projects - let me forward his message to this list (see below).

Regards,
Max



We have a basic html slider. Slider movement triggers a function that 
manipulates the time source.

The basic idea is to set a new start time which lies in the past. The 
elapsed time since the start is the given fraction of one cycle interval.


var currentInterval = timeSource.getAttribute("cycleInterval");

var timeElapsed = fraction * currentInterval;

var currentTime = (new Date()).getTime()/1000;

var newStartTime = currentTime - timeElapsed;

timeSource.setAttribute("enabled","false");

timeSource.setAttribute("startTime", String(newStartTime));

timeSource.setAttribute("enabled",”true”);
