Hey,

 

Last days there was a post to the web http://antonin.space/alcara/ - not there anymore.

 

This page contains many little neatly arranged animations - the wonderful world of pixi.

 

Here's just a try ...

My question: Why does .time () not consider the current .timeScale (line 112 ff) ?

 

Best regards
Mikel

Hey @mikel :)

 

I'm not sure I understand the question, but changing the timeScale() of an animation won't change the duration.

 

A 1 second animation with timeScale(4) will still have a duration of 1 second so the playhead time() will still travel from 0 to 1 and not 0 to 0.25. 

 

Does that help at all?

I'm a little fuzzy on what you're asking too, but @PointC is correct - timeScale() merely affects the way that its parent timeline plays it. If you want to calculate its duration in a way that factors in timeScale, you'd simply do: 

 

var scaledDuration = animation.duration() / animation.timeScale();
