[x3d-public] HTML slider and TimeSensor scrubbing behavior

[Mike McCann]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the memory jog. I recall doing it this way in pure VRML.

What I can’t figure out is how to “route” the output of the HTML slider into X3DOM's Interpolators. Is there an attribute in the x3dom runtime that I can set?
