repat not working for me?

[timaging]

Hi,

 

trying to get some TweenMax.to things to repeat to the beginning of a timeline, but it's not repeating. Here's all the code I think you need:

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import com.greensock.plugins.*;

TweenMax.to(sheetPiling, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:6});
TweenMax.to(junttan, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:6});
TweenMax.to(hpiles, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:6});
TweenMax.to(steelpipetxt, 3, {autoAlpha:1, delay:7});

var myTimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({onComplete:myFunction});

function myFunction():void {
   myTimeline.repeat = 2;
}

 

 

the only thing I'm concerned about is the timelinemax code at the end. This appears to be correct to me?

I also just tried this, but I'm being told I need a rightparen before the colon. This is exactly the way I've done other arrays and it worked before:

timeline.appendMultiple([new TweenMax(sheetPiling,  3, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeInOut}),
                        new TweenMax(junttan,  3, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeInOut, delay:.5}),
                        new TweenMax(hpiles,  3, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeInOut, delay:1}),
                        new TweenMax(pipe,  3, {autoAlpha:1, ease:Cubic.easeInOut, delay:1.5}),

                        new TweenMax(sheetPiling, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:6}),
                        new TweenMax(junttan, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:6}),
                        new TweenMax(hpiles, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:6}),
                        new TweenMax(steelpipetxt, 3, {autoAlpha:1, delay:7}),

                        new TweenMax(pipe, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:18}),
                        new TweenMax(junttan, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0, brightness:1}, autoAlpha:1, delay:18}),
                        new TweenMax(hpiles, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:18}),
                        new TweenMax(steelpipetxt, 3, {autoAlpha:0, delay:18}),
                        new TweenMax(junttantxt, 3, {autoAlpha:1, delay:19}),

                        new TweenMax(pipe, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:30}),
                        new TweenMax(junttan, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:30}),
                        new TweenMax(hpiles, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0, brightness:1}, autoAlpha:1, delay:30}),
                        new TweenMax(junttantxt, 3, {autoAlpha:0, delay:30}),
                        new TweenMax(hpiletxt, 3, {autoAlpha:1, delay:31}),

                        new TweenMax(pipe, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.5}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:40}),
                        new TweenMax(junttan, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:40}),
                        new TweenMax(hpiles, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:40}),
                        new TweenMax(sheetPiling, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xb9b9b9, tintAmount:0, brightness:1}, autoAlpha:1, delay:40}),
                        new TweenMax.to(hpiletxt, 3, {autoAlpha:0, delay:40}),
                        new TweenMax(sheetpilingtxt, 3, {autoAlpha:1, delay:41})], repeat:2);

sorry... forgot to add this... this is before that code, just so you can see that I do actually have the variable set:

 

 

var timeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax();

I think it has to do where you put your repeat.

 

var yourtimeline:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({repeat:2,onComplete:myFunction});

yourtimeline.insert(new TweenMax(mc, 3, {colorTransform:{tint:0xffccff, tintAmount:0.5, brightness:0.1}, autoAlpha:.3, delay:6}));

function myFunction():void {
       yourtimeline.play();
}

cool... this works-I don't understand the syntax, but THANKS!!

one other question: is there a number or value for infinite on loops?

 

thanks!!

[LynnB]

repeat:-1

 

and in conjunction:

 

yoyo:true (to reverse the timeline back to the start and play all over again)

cool... this works-I don't understand the syntax, but THANKS!!

Yeah, just to clarify, the reason it didn't work with your previous code was that you set the repeat AFTER THE TIMELINE COMPLETED. So it was done and removed from the root timeline and then you set it to repeat. It technically would have worked if you put play() right after setting the repeat, but LynnB's suggestion is a much better, cleaner solution. Thanks LynnB.
