Getting percentage complete of tween

[eco_bach]

Is there a way to easily get the percentage complete of a tween on an object?

Hi,

 

The engine has the progress() method, which allows to get or set a particular instance's (Tween or Timeline) progress.

 

The value goes between 0 and 1 so it can be easily translated to percentage, in this cae it would be like this:

 

In order to get the value on a given event, for example a click event:

var tn = TweenLite.to(element, time, {vars});

var button = document.getElementById("button"),
    tweenProgress;

button.onclick = function()
{
  tweenProgress = tn.progress();
}

To get the value as the tween plays:

var tn = TweenLite.to(element, time, {vars, onUpdate:updateFunction}),
    tweenProgress;

function updateFunction()
{
  tweenProgress = tn.progress();
}

Finally to set the tween/timeline progress you just pass a number between 0 and 1 in the progress call:

var tn = TweenLite.to(element, time, {vars});

//set the tween's to be at half it's playtime
tn.progress(0.5);

 Here is a codepen that show how you can get the tween's progress:
