[Qt-qml] Error with PropertyAction/SequentialAnimation/Timer

[Mark Tucker]

Thanks,

That works!

The behaviour does seem slightly strange though - I would expect the JS function to complete and THEN have everything else updated, but as long as I know that this is the current behaviour I can create code accordingly.

Thanks again

Mark

I believe QML will reevaluate a JS statement each time you change a
bindable property contained in that statement. So, even if the
animation is not running, "model.get(listIndex).dataString" will be
reevaluated when listIndex changes.
So, in order to solve this problem you can change the code below:

> listIndex++;

for the following:

listIndex = (listIndex + 1) % model.count;
