NSAnimationMBS.animationBlockingMode as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

The blocking mode of the receiver.

A constant representing the blocking mode the animation is next scheduled to run under. See "NSAnimationBlockingMode" for valid values.

If the constant is NSAnimationNonblocking, the animation runs in the main thread in one of the standard run-loop modes or in a mode returned from runLoopModesForAnimating. If animationBlockingMode is NSAnimationNonblockingThreaded, a new thread is spawned to run the animation.

The default mode is NSAnimationBlocking, which means that the animation runs on the main thread in a custom run-loop mode that blocks user events. The new blocking mode takes effect the next time the receiver is started and has no effect on an animation underway.

NSAnimationMBS.animationCurve as Integer

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

The animation curve the receiver is running under.

The animation curve describes the relative frame rate over the course of the animation. See NSAnimation* constants.

NSAnimationMBS.clearStartAnimation

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Clears linkage to another animation that causes the receiver to start.

NSAnimationMBS.clearStopAnimation

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Clears linkage to another animation that causes the receiver to stop.

NSAnimationMBS.Constructor(duration as Double, animationCurve as Integer)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Initializes the object with the specified duration and animation-curve values.

duration: The number of seconds over which the animation occurs. Specifying a negative number raises an exception.
animationCurve: An NSAnimationCurve constant that describes the relative speed of the animation over its course; if it is zero, the default curve (NSAnimationEaseInOut) is used.

You can always later change the duration of an NSAnimation object by sending it a setDuration: message, even while the animation is running. See "Constants" for descriptions of the NSAnimationCurve constants.

NSAnimationMBS.currentProgress as Double

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

The current progress of the receiver.

The current progress is a value between 0.0 and 1.0 that represents the percentage of the animation currently completed.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSAnimationMBS.currentValue as Double

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Returns the current value of the effect based on the current progress.

NSAnimationMBS.Destructor

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	13.5	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

The destructor.

NSAnimationMBS.duration as Double

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

The duration of the animation, in seconds.

(Read and Write computed property)

NSAnimationMBS.frameRate as Double

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
property	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

The frame rate of the animation.

The frame rate is the number of updates per second. It is not guaranteed to be accurate because of differences between systems on the time needed to process a frame.
(Read and Write computed property)

NSAnimationMBS.isAnimating as boolean

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the receiver is currently animating.

True if the receiver is animating, false otherwise.

NSAnimationMBS.startAnimation

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Starts the animation represented by the receiver.

The receiver retains itself and is then autoreleased at the end of the animation or when it receives stopAnimation. If the blocking mode is NSAnimationBlocking, the method only returns after the animation has completed or the delegate sends it stopAnimation. If the receiver has a progress of 1.0, it starts again at 0.0.

NSAnimationMBS.stopAnimation

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	Cocoa	MBS MacFrameworks Plugin	10.0	✅ Yes	❌ No	❌ No	✅ Yes	All

Stops the animation represented by the receiver.

The current progress of the receiver is not reset. When this method is sent to instances of NSViewAnimation (a subclass of NSAnimation) the receiver moves to the end frame location.
