timeline totalDuration() setter: This bug may be happening in HTML5 too

[lwmirkk 0 Likes (Newbie)]

I want to extend the time of the timeline exactly in the current item, but without pausing, just extend the total duration.
When I use myTimeline.totalDuration ( myTimeline.totalDuration () + 10 ) not works.

 

The timeline continues with the current duration...

 

My example code:

trace(myTimeline.totalDuration()); //20

myTimeline.totalDuration( myTimeline.totalDuration() + 10 );

trace(myTimeline.totalDuration()); //20
//the final result should be 30... not?

A timeline is just a wrapper for tweens (and other timelines), so its duration is always based on its contents. When you alter its duration, it simply alters the timeScale accordingly so that it APPEARS to take that long to play, that's all. Make sense?

Hmm... understood.

 

Thanks a lot.
