This state will be activated when the <a href="qml-qtquick-mousearea.html">MouseArea</a> is pressed, and deactivated when it is released.</p> <p>The <i>down</i> state includes a set of property changes from our implicit <i>default state</i> (the items as they were initially defined in the QML). Specifically, we set the <code>y</code> property of the text to <code>160</code>, the rotation to <code>180</code> and the <code>color</code> to red.</p> <pre class="qml"> transitions: Transition { from: ""; to: "down"; reversible: true ParallelAnimation { NumberAnimation { properties: "y,rotation"; duration: 500; easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad } ColorAnimation { duration: 500 } } } </pre> <p>Because we don't want the text to appear at the bottom instantly but rather move smoothly, we add a transition between our two states.</p> <p><code>from</code> and <code>to</code> define the states between which the transition will run. In this case, we want a transition from the default state to our <i>down</i> state.</p> <p>Because we want the same transition to be run in reverse when changing back from the <i>down</i> state to the default state, we set <code>reversible</code> to <code>true</code>. This is equivalent to writing the two transitions separately.</p> <p>The <a href="qml-qtquick-parallelanimation.html">ParallelAnimation</a> type makes sure that the two types of animations (number and color) start at the same time. We could also run them one after the other by using <a href="qml-qtquick-sequentialanimation.html">SequentialAnimation</a> instead.</p> <p>For more details on states and transitions, see <a href="qtquick-statesanimations-states.html">Qt Quick States</a> and the states and transitions example.</p> </div> <!-- @@@qml-tutorial3.html --> <p class="naviNextPrevious footerNavi"> <a class="prevPage" href="qml-tutorial2.html">QML Tutorial 2 - QML Components</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <p> <acronym title="Copyright">©</acronym> 2019 The Qt Company Ltd.
