gotoAndStop() doesn't call onUpdate of the label

[Username]

Hi

 

is there a way to gotoAndStop in a timeline and call the onUpdate-Method?

 

Check this runable example, problem in the last lines:

import com.greensock.*; 
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import flash.display.*;


var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({paused:true});
var colors:Object = {left:0xB8E46F, right:0x0066CC};

myTimeline.append(new TweenMax(colors, 3, {hexColors:{left:0xff9900, right:0x663399}, onUpdate:drawGradient}));

var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(mySprite);
function drawGradient():void {
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.createGradientBox(220, 220, 0, 0, 0);
mySprite.graphics.beginGradientFill(GradientType.LINEAR, [colors.left, colors.right], [1, 1], [0x00, 0xFF], m, SpreadMethod.PAD);
mySprite.graphics.drawRect(0,0,220,220);
}

// this doesn't work, because drawGradient is not been calling
myTimeline.gotoAndStop(2);

// my dirty workaround
myTimeline.timeScale=0.001;
myTimeline.gotoAndPlay(2);
// and then stops via event e.g.

 

Of course, you can call after gotoAndStop the method drawGradient manually. But I call the event in the timeline with parametres which are addicted to the timeline.

 

Thanks for every help.

By default, gotoAndStop() and gotoAndPlay() suppress events as they move the virtual playhead to the new position, but that's easy to change by using the 2nd parameter ("suppressEvents"). Just set it to false like myTimeline.gotoAndStop("myLabel", false); See the ASDocs for more info: http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/ ... elite.html

Oh I overlooked this.

Perfect.
