milliseconds vs second and timeScale

[borbulon]

I have data that comes to me as milliseconds, and I was wondering if:

 

a) there are any drawbacks to using `timeScale(1000)` in a TimelineLite instance to "simulate" milliseconds

 

if it's a bug that I can attempt to set a child timeline at, say, 5000, but when I inspect the parent timeline it can appear at, say, 5002 (can, not always does, not consistently reproducbile) 

 

Thanks!

Not that I can imagine, no. Should work just fine.

I don't know that I understand the question. If you could produce a simple demo that shows this happening (even sometimes) we will be better equipped to address it.

On second thought if by chance there was some minuscule rounding error happening of say .001 and you were to multiply it 1000, I suppose one could consider that a drawback. In your situation you seem to be implying that something is off by 2 milliseconds. I'm sure once we see what is happening we'll be able to help more.
