If you are using Timeline by itself (assuming version 2.2.0), then your
code probably looks something like this:
var theTimeline; // global variable
function onLoad() {
...
theTimeline = ...
...
}
And presuming that you have assigned IDs to your events
<data>
<event id="event-298" ...
Then you'd just need
function onClickHandler() {
theTimeline.getBand(0).showBubbleForEvent("event-298");
}
If you want to do the same when using Timeline inside Exhibit, then
you'd need to hook up your own Timeline constructor.
