another easyone... "partition" of a timeline

[monema]

Hi to every one,

can i use a complex timeline as a bundle of sub animations.
 

For ex. i got A to B to C to D

now i got an event and i need just to play B to C or C to B.

 

There's a way to achieve that, by...i don't now tagging or labeling around?

Thanks

Hi, this is a perfect use case for tweenTo() or tweenFromTo()

Video below should help

If you're just doing this for debugging, GSDevTools can likely do all that you need (and more).

 

In addition to what Carl suggested above, you could try using function calls with some logic paired with a .pause():

Hi @monema  I guess which approach you choose will depend on your needs but a few things to clarify

• adding a pause() inside a function inside a timeline isn't accurate and can cause problems when reversing (which is why addPause() was created)
• If you want to put a bunch of conditional logic inside the timeline that is synchronized with a pause its probably better to use addPause() with a callback
• tweenTo() and tweenFromTo() don't require any calculation of duration which is a big part of their convenience.
• tweenTo() and tweenFromTo() allow callbacks just like any tween so if you need to run a function after your animation plays you can put a callback on the tweenTo() instead of having it inside the timeline like:
  timeline.tweenTo("a", {onComplete:checkStatus"}) This may or not be important for your project.

Ok thank you very much i've solved looking at the first video.
You're amazing!
