Thanks for the reply. I know I can do that, but it's not what I want. If I call these methods on the nested timeline directly, it returns the time relative to the nested timeline. I need the time relative to the parent timeline. Granted, in my simple example, they would be the same time since there are no other offsets. I've updated the original fiddle to add delays to the parent and nested timeline. What I would like is to get the the value of 10 back (where the label falls in the overall timeline), but all I am able to retrieve is the value of 5 by querying the nested timeline.
