callback a curently running timeline before its end

Hi, 

 

I would like to know how can i repeat this animation using TimelineMax : 

See the Pen hcjKl by anon (@anon) on CodePen

So that when the bottom reversed text comes back up, the text above goes up again ( the start of the timeline actually ).

 

Tell me if you need more explanations .

 

Thanks !

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

Neat animation you have there.

 

If I understand you correctly, this should do the trick:

You'll notice I simplified the code a bit as I didn't think 2 timelines were necessary.

Also, thanks a ton for making the CodePen demo. It was super helpful.

Thanks a lot you saved me hours of research ! I'm kind of new using your libraries so that permits me to understand better how it works. Thanks !

Another question : How can I wait until the end of the animation to stop it ?

At some point the numbers are at "100", and I need to end the animation.

Hi,

 

I'm assuming that you're tracking the number in the container, so when that number gets to 100 you can remove the call instance by using the removeCallback() method. All you have to do is add a label to the call instance in order to make it easier to remove, like this:

var tl = new TimelineMax();
tl.to(_$topP, 1, { top:11 })  
  .to(_$topP, 1, { top:52 }, "topDown")// add 2 tweens at topDown label
  .to(_$botP, 1, { top:-10 }, "topDown")
  .to(_$botP, 1, { top:-52 }, "bottomUp")// add 2 tweens at bottomUp label
  .to(_$topP, 1, { top:11 }, "bottomUp")
  //next call tl.play("topDown")
  .call(tl.play, ["topDown"], tl,"callBack");

Then you check for the number in the container and execute the removeCallback() method:

if(number === 100)
{
  tl.removeCallback(tl.play, "callBack");
}

Like that the next timeline cycle will be the last one because the call to make it play again will be gone.
