An Interval class represents an interval of time.

It has two time value components, start and end.

The start and end values can be numbers or Time values, numbers being interpreted as frame counts.

Constructor

    interval <start_time> <end_time>

Construct a new interval value from start and end values.

Properties

    <interval>.start : Time

Get/set the start value of the interval.

    <interval>.end : Time

Get/set the end value of the interval.

EXAMPLES
    t = animationRange.start + 5
    orig_anim_range=animationRange -- store original animation range
    animationRange=interval 0 100000 -- set real long animation range
    -- assign script controller, controllers range is the current
    -- animation range
    ControlObj.scale.controller=scale_script()
    -- assign a script to the controller
    ControlObj.scale.controller.script = controlscript
    -- reset animationRange back to original value
    animationRange=orig_anim_range

Some of the examples above refer to system global variables.
