.getChildren()
.getChildren( nested:Boolean, tweens:Boolean, timelines:Boolean, ignoreBeforeTime:Number ) : Array
Returns an array containing all the tweens and/or timelines nested in this timeline.
Parameters
nested: Boolean
(default = true) — Determines whether or not tweens and/or timelines that are inside nested timelines should be returned. If you only want the “top level” tweens and timelines, set this to false.
tweens: Boolean
(default = true) — Determines whether or not tweens should be included in the results.
timelines: Boolean
(default = true) — Determines whether or not timelines should be included in the results.
ignoreBeforeTime: Number
Number (default = -9999999999) — All children with start times that are less than this value will be ignored.
Returns : Array
Details
Returns an array containing all the tweens and/or timelines nested in this timeline. Callbacks (delayed calls) are considered zero-duration tweens.
