## Detailed Description

The SequentialAnimation and ParallelAnimation types allow multiple animations to be run together. Animations defined in a SequentialAnimation are run one after the other, while animations defined in a ParallelAnimation are run at the same time.

The following animation runs two number animations in parallel. The Rectangle moves to (50,50) by animating its `x` and `y` properties at the same time.

      import QtQuick 2.0

      Rectangle {
          id: rect
          width: 100; height: 100
          color: "red"

          ParallelAnimation {
              running: true
              NumberAnimation { target: rect; property: "x"; to: 50; duration: 1000 }
              NumberAnimation { target: rect; property: "y"; to: 50; duration: 1000 }
          }
      }

Like any other animation type, a ParallelAnimation can be applied in a number of ways, including transitions, behaviors and property value sources. The Animation and Transitions in Qt Quick documentation shows a variety of methods for creating animations.

Note: Once an animation has been grouped into a SequentialAnimation or ParallelAnimation, it cannot be individually started and stopped; the SequentialAnimation or ParallelAnimation must be started and stopped as a group.
