any way to kill all delayed calls? [SOLVED]

[t0m]

title says it all really, there's a getAllTweens but no getAllDelayedCalls...

 

do i have to manage an array of any functions with open/pending delayed calls to them and then kill them by hand?

 

tia,

There's actually a TweenMax.killAll() method.

 

killAll(complete:Boolean=false, tweens:Boolean=true, delayedCalls:Boolean=true)

 

So in your case, you'd do:

 

TweenMax.killAll(false, false, true);

[t0m]

aha! i remebered that but couldn't find it in the online docs!

 

should have tried it anyway (or opened up the as). thanks man,

is this only for TweenMax? Or can TweenLite and TweenNano do the same?

 

I couldn't find it in the documentation...

[GreenSock]

Yep, killAll() is only in TweenMax but TweenLite and TweenNano do have killTweensOf().

What about killAllOf(this), or something similar? I'd like to remove all delayed calls within an object, as opposed to global. The only other way I can think of is to put each into their own variable, or use Timer()

...remove all delayed calls within an object, as opposed to global...

I'm not sure what "delayed calls within an object" means.

 

You can already do TweenLite.killTweensOf(myFunction) if you want to kill all the delayed calls to a particular function. Is that what you need?

[prometh]

That's sort of what I was after. The API Documentation does not mention this, so I never tried it.

 

How would this work if I called an anonymous (temporarily created) function, like:

 

TweenMax.delayedCall(1, function()

{

trace("test");

});

[GreenSock]

It wouldn't. I'd strongly recommend NOT using anonymous functions as they're frowned upon in ActionScript. They can cause some garbage collection issues and other problems in Flash (which have nothing to do with TweenLite/Max by the way).

[prometh]

Interesting. Had never read anything about that. Thanks for the tip.

Hi! Useful tip, thanks!

 

But, as I'm understood TweenMax.killAll(false, false, true); - kills ALL delayedCalls?

So, what about if I have 5 delayed calls, but need to kill 1 of them (and other must to be alive)?

Hi MegaVaha, 

If you need to just kill one delayed call use killTweensOf()

 

 

To kill all the delayedCalls (like ones created using TweenMax.delayedCall(5, myFunction) , you can simply call TweenMax.killTweensOf(myFunction); because delayedCalls are simply tweens that have their target and onComplete set to the same function (as well as a delay of course).
