Hi!
I guess this is something that I also tried to figure out recently, so
I'd like to clear this, hopefully its useful for others, too:
What I (and maybe espressoguy) try to do is, change an event, that is
already loaded / painted, in other words:
1. You load events with certain specs with loadXML.
-> They will be "painted" onto the timeline.
2. Then you want to change an event, that is already painted.
Is this possible?
I tried to add a condition / check to the event loading, that simply
clears / deletes events that are already painted, but I ran into
problems, as events are painted again and again, depending on user
interactions like scrolling.
As far as I see there is no feature like "updateEvent" or
"changeEventProperties" provided, or am I wrong?
Thanx for any feedback,
kind regards,
Udo

What do you mean by "dynamically change"?
If you mean simply loading different datasets at initialization time, then it
is a simple call to loadXML (or loadJSON):
tl.loadXML("examples/jfk/jfk.xml", function(xml, url) {
eventSource.loadXML(xml, url); });
You just specify the path to the desired data file: "examples/jfk/jfk.xml"
This could be a path to some service on your server that returns dynamically generated
data, such as "incidentReports.xml?date=2011-05-16"
You can also load your timeline data after the page has been loaded and the
timeline drawn. You might have links on your page to let the user fetch
different datasets.
Is this what you are referring to?

I'm new to timeline...
....I can see in the jfk example that is provided with the
distribution of timeline that it's possible to dynamically change the
events displayed. But I don't see any documentation explaining how
this works. I'm sure it's done with AJAX but I don't see an
explanation of how to do it.
Can someone tell me where I can find an explanation?
Thanks...
