Hi ,
I think first you should create a default EventSource object the it will
work
function onLoadw() {
var eventSource = new Timeline.DefaultEventSource();
var bandInfos = [
Timeline.createBandInfo({
eventSource: eventSource,
date: "Jun 28 2006 00:00:00 GMT",
width: "70%",
intervalUnit: Timeline.DateTime.MONTH,
intervalPixels: 100
}),
Timeline.createBandInfo({
eventSource: eventSource,
date: "Jun 28 2006 00:00:00 GMT",
width: "30%",
intervalUnit: Timeline.DateTime.YEAR,
intervalPixels: 200
})
];
bandInfos[1].syncWith = 0;
bandInfos[1].highlight = true;
timeLine = Timeline.create(document.getElementById('my-timeline'),
bandInfos);
timeLine.loadXML("Example1.xml", function(xml, url) {
eventSource.loadXML(xml,url); });
}
i tried it and eventSource working file.
Hope it will help you.
