Hi Mike, I was using Timeline off simile-widgets.org. (http://simile.mit.edu/ timeline/api/timeline-api.js) I tried the code on the Cubism example. Worked.
Back to my code I replaced the Timeline link to the same in the example (http://api.simile-widgets.org/timeline/2.3.1/timeline-api.js) Now it works. Still not sure why but it works!
