No repeats in nested timeline when seeking master timeline

[saar62097]

Hey all

 

I have a repeating timeline nested inside a master timeline. When I play the master timeline all the repetitions of the child timeline are executed, but when I seek the master timeline there is only 1 execution.

 

See the Codepen: press play and you will see a counter step from 0 to 5. But click the button to seek, and the counter goes only to 1.

 

Any ideas or elegant workarounds?

 

thnx in advance,

Sa'ar

It looks like you're expecting event callbacks to fire many times on a single event, but that's not how it works. If your goal is to have a function called at a particular time in a timeline when the playhead moves past it in either direction (forward or backward), use a regular call() or addCallback() on the timeline.

Yes, I am expecting the repeats to execute a many as needed to the seek point.

 

Anyways, I changed the code to use onUpdate instead of repeats, and it works:
