How to call VMM.Timeline methods?

[Luciano Spilotros]

Hello,

thank you very much for this very cool plugin. 

Before posting this question I have been searching on this group for similar post but I couldn't find any help.

I am trying to work out how to call VMM.Timeline methods such as:

- goToEvent(n)

- onZoomIn / onZoomOut

I am initializing the timeline with the following:

createStoryJS({
        type: 'timeline',
        width: '100%',
        height: '590',
        source: data_file,
        embed_id: 'mytimeline',
        start_zoom_adjust: '-2',  
        debug: true,
        hash_bookmark: true
    });

I know I can eventually call these events by triggering the CLICK event on UI components, but I am wondering if there is any other way of doing it, for instance calling the VMM methods directly from my code...

Thank you very much!
