This example uses the higher attribute as one of the three possible attributes (higher, lower, peers) associated with the priorityClass element. The higher attribute controls how elements with higher priority interrupt child elements of a priorityClass element.
In this example, Paragraph 2 is within a priorityClass element with the higher attribute set to "pause," a begin time of 0 seconds, and a duration of 10 seconds. The higher priority class, Paragraph 1, will interrupt Paragraph 2 at 7 seconds. Paragraph 2 will pause; it resumes its duration when the interrupting element completes its duration (5 seconds).
Time container timer: 0Paragraph 1 begins at 7 seconds with a duration of 5 seconds.
Paragraph 2 is displayed until it is interrupted by a higher priorityClass (at 7 seconds). Paragraph 2 pauses and is added to a queue of pending elements. When Paragraph 1 completes its active duration, Paragraph 2 resumes and will complete its duration.
