<h1>timeline_running</h1>
<p>This variable holds current state of the assigned time line and will return <tt>true</tt> if it is running and false if it is not. You can also set this variable to either <tt>true</tt> or <tt>false</tt> to
start and stop the time line at any time. it should be noted that a stopped time line is <i>not</i> reset, and so starting it again at a later time will start it from the exact moment that it was stopped at.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>Syntax:</h4>
<p class="code">timeline_running;</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>Returns:</h4>
<p class="code">Boolean</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>Example:</h4>
<p class="code">if !timeline_running<br/> {
<br/> timeline_position = 0;<br/> timeline_running = true;<br/> }
</p>
<p>The above code will check to see if the instance is running a time line, and if it is not then it resets the assigned time line to start at the first moment and then starts it.</p>
