.resume()
Resumes playing without altering direction (forward or reversed), optionally jumping to a specific time first.
Parameters

suppressEvents: Boolean
(default = true
) — If
true
(the default), no events or callbacks will be triggered when the playhead moves to the new position defined in the from
parameter.
Returns : *

Details
Resumes playing without altering direction (forward or reversed), optionally jumping to a specific time first.
If you define a time to jump to (the first parameter, which could also be a label for TimelineLite or TimelineMax instances), the playhead moves there immediately and if there are any events/callbacks inbetween where the playhead was and the new time, they will not be triggered because by defaultsuppressEvents
(the 2nd parameter) is true
. Think of it like picking the needle up on a record player and moving it to a new position before placing it back on the record. If, however, you do not want the events/callbacks suppressed during that initial move, simply set thesuppressEvents
parameter to false
.
//resumes from wherever the playhead currently is:
myAnimation.resume();
//jumps to exactly 2-seconds into the animation and then resumes playback:
myAnimation.resume(2);
//jumps to exactly 2-seconds into the animation and resumes playbck but doesn't suppress events during the initial move:
myAnimation.resume(2, false);
