Hi, I am using the scrollToPlugin to scroll  text automatically when banner loads. I need the scroll to pause when mouse enters the area and resume when it leaves. I am a newbie that needs help. Like I said the text scrolls automatically when banner loads but when I mouseenter it doesn't pause. Here is a sample of the code that I am using to accomplish my goal. I used a console.log to make sure everything is firing but still the scrolling text doesn't pause on mouse enter. I hope someone can help me understand what I am doing wrong.

 

  <script>
 function init() {
  box.play();
}
 
var scroll = document.getElementById("box");
var _scrollDuration = 160;
var tl = new TimelineMax();
 
 
tl.add(TweenLite.delayedCall(.5, startAutoScroll, [box, _scrollDuration]));
scroll.addEventListener('mouseenter', function() {
  console.log('listening');
tl.paused(!tl.paused());
});
 
scroll.addEventListener('mouseleave', function() {
  console.log('listening');
  tl.paused(!tl.paused());
});
  </script>

Thank you for the response. here is my codepen 

See the Pen RppQZL by tweeden (@tweeden) on CodePen

 

it animates in my banner but it isn't animating in codepen. Idon't know what I did wrong. Nevertheless how do I get the auto scroll to work properly and how do I mouse enter to pause the scroll and mouse leave to resume? Thank you for the help.

From what I can see here, you have a delayedCall that is calling a startAutoScroll function but I don't see it defined anywhere. Maybe that's why it works in your banner but not in CodePen?

 

Let me poke around a bit to see if I can get something working for you.
