Label placement

[doyaydesign]

I was hoping to be able to append some tweenmaxs into a timeline and then append a lable, and then append tweenmaxs, append label. The problem is the times of the tweens can change so there's no easy way to place a lable by time.

 

I'll have 4 sets of tweens ( 2 in each set) and need to click a button that jumps to the beginning of that set. Love the sequencing.

 

Also, there isnt a problem appending a tween in a timelinemax inside a "if" statement is there?

 

Thanks, your software is great!

Sure, you can just use the "duration" property as the insertion point for your label, like this:

 

myTimeline.append( new TweenMax(mc, 1, {x:100}) );
myTimeline.append( new TweenMax(mc, 1, {y:100}) );
myTimeline.addLabel("myLabel", myTimeline.duration);
//..and so on...

Absolutely not. append() anytime, as often as you like You weren't running into trouble, were you?

Works great. So when duration is called its just up till that point.

Problem 2 was no problem just trying to troubleshoot.

Exactamundo. You can check the duration anytime. As you build your timeline, it will get longer and longer.
