tl.tweenTo problem

[BigApp7e]

Hello everyone. I'm AS3 developer and I work with gs libraries before without any problem, but now I start learn js and I'm little confuse about one thing. To be short here is few lines of code:

 

function init(){

            tl = new TimelineMax();          

            tl.append(TweenMax.to(logo,1,{x:200,ease:Linear.easeNone,repeat:-1 ,yoyo:false}));

            tl.addLabel("start",false);

            tl.append(TweenMax.to(logo,1,{x:400,ease:Linear.easeNone}));

            tl.addLabel("end",false);

 

        function onClick()

        {

          tl.tweenTo("end");

 

So I expect this logo to make loop animation to the moment when I click button. When I click I expect timelineMax to move one with next animation and logo have to stop on x=400;

 

Actual result:

When I click the button this logo make few loops backward  and then stop at position x=0;

 

Where I'm wrong?

Can you help me with this 

 

Regards.

Hi BigApp7e, welcome to the forums!

 

It is quite hard to trouble shoot your case by just looking at a few lines of code. We need some context to try and understand, there could be a lot of things going wrong. For example, it is not clear to me whether you have your onClick() function nested or not into the init() one. That would make a big difference in behaviour.

 

So, if you could get a bare-bones example on CodePen (or anywhere else you might prefer) we can help you out. Carl has a nice post pinned explaining how to create a CodePen.

Yes, Dipscom is right about a demo helping.

 

It appears you are adding tweens and labels AFTER a tween that is set to repeat indefinitely (repeat:-1)

 

Seeking past an infinite tween isn't really possible.

 

It sounds like you should be creating a new tween when you click the button and not have it be part of the timeline.

Following up on what Carl has suggested, here is an illustration of what he means (out of many was to achieve the same result).
