NumberAnimation can't refer to its parent SequentalAnimation

[Stefan Monov76]

My code:

import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    property double angle: 0
    
    SequentialAnimation on angle {
        property int myDuration: 3000 // const
        NumberAnimation {
            from: -30.0
            to: 30.0
            duration: parent.myDuration
            easing.type: Easing.InOutSine
        }
    }
}

I get this error on the "parent.myDuration" line:

ReferenceError: parent is not defined

Any ideas?

Tried referencing by id?

Hi! The parent property is the visual parent of the basic visual QML type Item and must not be confused with the parent QObject in a QObject tree. The Animation QML type is not derived from Item (because it has no visual representation) and thus does not have a visual parent / no parent property.

@kshegunov :
Sure, that works, but I was wondering why it doesn't work with parent as well.

@Wieland :
Ok, thanks!
