# Class SequentialTransition

javafx.animation.Animation
javafx.animation.Transition
javafx.animation.SequentialTransition

public final class SequentialTransition extends Transition
This `Transition` plays a list of `Animations` in sequential order.

Children of this `Transition` inherit `node`, if their `node` property is not specified.

Code Segment Example:

         Rectangle rect = new Rectangle (100, 40, 100, 100);
         rect.setArcHeight(50);
         rect.setArcWidth(50);
         rect.setFill(Color.VIOLET);

         final Duration SEC_2 = Duration.millis(2000);
         final Duration SEC_3 = Duration.millis(3000);

         PauseTransition pt = new PauseTransition(Duration.millis(1000));
         FadeTransition ft = new FadeTransition(SEC_3);
         ft.setFromValue(1.0f);
         ft.setToValue(0.3f);
         ft.setCycleCount(2f);
         ft.setAutoReverse(true);
         TranslateTransition tt = new TranslateTransition(SEC_2);
         tt.setFromX(-100f);
         tt.setToX(100f);
         tt.setCycleCount(2f);
         tt.setAutoReverse(true);
         RotateTransition rt = new RotateTransition(SEC_3);
         rt.setByAngle(180f);
         rt.setCycleCount(4f);
         rt.setAutoReverse(true);
         ScaleTransition st = new ScaleTransition(SEC_2);
         st.setByX(1.5f);
         st.setByY(1.5f);
         st.setCycleCount(2f);
         st.setAutoReverse(true);

         SequentialTransition seqT = new SequentialTransition (rect, pt, ft, tt, rt, st);
         seqT.play();

- ## Property Details

  - ### node

    public final ObjectProperty<Node> nodeProperty
    This `Node` is used in all child `Transitions`, that do not define a target `Node` themselves. This can be used if a number of `Transitions` should be applied to a single `Node`.

    It is not possible to change the target `node` of a running `Transition`. If the value of `node` is changed for a running `Transition`, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

  - ### setNode

    public final void setNode(Node value)
    Sets the value of the `node` property.
    Property description:
      This `Node` is used in all child `Transitions`, that do not define a target `Node` themselves. This can be used if a number of `Transitions` should be applied to a single `Node`.

      It is not possible to change the target `node` of a running `Transition`. If the value of `node` is changed for a running `Transition`, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

    Parameters:
      `value` - the value for the `node` property

      - `getNode()`
      - `nodeProperty()`

  - ### getNode

    public final Node getNode()
    Gets the value of the `node` property.
    Property description:
      This `Node` is used in all child `Transitions`, that do not define a target `Node` themselves. This can be used if a number of `Transitions` should be applied to a single `Node`.

      It is not possible to change the target `node` of a running `Transition`. If the value of `node` is changed for a running `Transition`, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

    Returns:
      the value of the `node` property

      - `nodeProperty()`

  - ### nodeProperty

    public final ObjectProperty<Node> nodeProperty()

      - `setNode(Node)`

  - ### getChildren

    public final ObservableList<Animation> getChildren()
    A list of `Animations` that will be played sequentially.

    It is not possible to change the children of a running `SequentialTransition`. If the children are changed for a running `SequentialTransition`, the animation has to be stopped and started again to pick up the new value.

    Returns:
      a list of Animations that will be played sequentially

  - ### interpolate

    protected void interpolate(double frac)
    The method `interpolate()` has to be provided by implementations of `Transition`. While a `Transition` is running, this method is called in every frame. The parameter defines the current position with the animation. At the start, the fraction will be `0.0` and at the end it will be `1.0`. How the parameter increases, depends on the `interpolator`, e.g. if the `interpolator` is `Interpolator.LINEAR`, the fraction will increase linear. This method must not be called by the user directly.
    Specified by:
      `interpolate` in class `Transition`
    Parameters:
      `frac` - The relative position
