Extendscript plugin - Not able to set end marker

Hi
I'm experementing with setting clip markers (As in this example). I'm able to set the marker but when trying to set the endtime for the marker I get a parameter error although the type of the parameter is right(Time).

What is wrong here?

 

The offending line (As in the example):

 

newMarker.end			= tempTime;

 

I get :

 

Eval Error (#1): "Illegal Parameter type" in '/Work related/Premiere/Plugin/FirstPlugin/host/index.jsx' [29:undefined] in host 'premierepro-22.0 (NewWorld)'.

 

 

This is how it looks in the VS code:

 

Seems like its premiere pro 22.0 (not sure what other versions to check)

Good news: It turns out it was the sample code*, not the API, that was the problem. 

This works: 

 

 

var activeSequence = app.project.activeSequence;
if (activeSequence) {
    var markers = activeSequence.markers;
    if (markers){
        var newCommentMarker		= markers.createMarker(12.345);
        newCommentMarker.end            = (newCommentMarker.start.seconds + 5.0);
    }
}


* Yeah, it was my sample code. 🙂
