static Class NF.anim.playerSynchronizer

Synchronize multiple player objects through a single delay timer. The menu widget utilizes the playerSynchronizer to match multiple animation effects frame for frame which smooths out the rendering.

Add new player objects at any time, including during the play of previously added players. New objects are added to the stack and included in the next rendering step.

It is not necessary to create player objects and access the synchonizer if using timeline or clip hooks with a widget. The synchonizer is primarily ment for advanced animation effects applied to document Nodes outside the widgets.

Properties
