Interrupting and restarting a Tween while respecting the delay

[animaker]

 

I am trying to interrupt a tween before it has begun, then restarting it while respecting the delay. 

 

As you see from the pen, everything works though the delay is reset to 0 in the process. 

 

Any advice on how to retain the 3 second delay would be appreciated.

Hi @animaker 

 

Welcome to the forum and thanks for being a club member.

 

I think you're looking for:

tw.restart(true);

From the docs:

//restarts, not including any delay that was defined
myAnimation.restart();

//restarts, including any delay, and doesn't suppress events during the initial move back to time:0
myAnimation.restart(true, false);

Happy tweening.

Fantastic, thanks for that, @PointC
