retrieving greensock timelines

[Jonny 5 Likes (Newbie)]

Hello,

 

I am creating a pause/play button as part of a suite of debugging tools.

I want this to be versatile so that it works across any greensock animation.

What i need to do is retrieve the greensock timeline, (without relying on going in to each aniamtion and finding what the timeline variable has been named) so that when i click on my pause button, it will grab all greensock timelines and pause them.

 

I can see that the timeline returns: s {vars: Object, _totalDuration: 5, _duration: 5, _delay: 0, _timeScale: 1…}_

But can't see how to access this and pause it, 

 

could anyone help?

 

thank you, J.

If you want to globally pause, play and control all animations please try TimelineLite.exportRoot()

 

Full details in docs: http://greensock.com/docs/#/HTML5/GSAP/TimelineLite/exportRoot/

i have spent all day on this looking into what gets logged in the console.

This worked in about two minutes, and made life a lot lot simpler.

 

thanks very much
