Tweens with delay

[k1rsan 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hello,

 

I have a question about tweens that have a delay at the beginning.

//init
var highScoreTween:TweenLite= new TweenLite(highScore, 0.4, { delay:1, alpha:1 } );


//here is the question
if (highScoreTween.time() < highScoreTween.duration()) {
	highScoreTween.seek(highScoreTween.duration());
}
			
		

If I want to check tween for activity, when it has already started, but delay time has not passed. The function time() returns 0 and propertie _active is false.

 

How can I know that this tween has already begun?

Right, the delay just affects where the tween gets positioned on its parent timeline, but the tween isn't somehow "active" during its delay period (I think that would be counter-intuitive). You can easily get the info you're after, though, like this:

var timelineTime = highScoreTween.timeline.time();
var tweenStart = highScoreTween.startTime();
if (timelineTime > tweenStart - highScoreTween.delay() && timelineTime < tweenStart) {
    //it's inbetween the delay and the start
}
