    	 * The Ticker provides a centralized tick or heartbeat broadcast at a set interval. Listeners can subscribe to the tick
    	 * event to be notified when a set time interval has elapsed.
    	 *
    	 * Note that the interval that the tick event is called is a target interval, and may be broadcast at a slower interval
    	 * when under high CPU load. The Ticker class uses a static interface (ex. `Ticker.framerate = 30;`) and
    	 * can not be instantiated.
    	 *
    	 * <h4>Example</h4>
    	 *
    	 *      createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", handleTick);
    	 *      function handleTick(event) {
    	 *          // Actions carried out each tick (aka frame)
    	 *          if (!event.paused) {
    	 *              // Actions carried out when the Ticker is not paused.

    	 * dispatches the tick when the time is within a certain threshold.
    	 *
    	 * This mode has a higher variance for time between frames than {{#crossLink "Ticker/TIMEOUT:property"}}{{/crossLink}},
