The event object is an object you would normally not need for creating animations on your web pages. This object is here to enable web based editors. An Event object allows you to edit the events added to a sequence. Of course nothing stops you from using Event objects to dynamically alter your scripts for animations playing on web pages.
An event is a simple object. It's three main properties are; what type of event am I, the time at which it will be fired, and an optional length parameter used for fade type events. You can also completely remove events from a script with the Remove command.
