ScrollTo autoKill trigger toggle?

[B_wu]

Hello,
I'm running into an issue with scrollTo. Codepen attached has an example where some animation happens, then the scroll begins. There is a replay button and the scroll text gets set back to the top, but on replay the text no longer scrolls. Is there a way to reset the autoKilll feature eachtime the replay button is clicked? I basically need the text to be able to scroll each time the replay button is pressed but setting it back to y:0 seems to trigger the autoKill. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi @B_wu and welcome to the GreenSock forums!

 

The issue here is that the auto kill feature of the ScrollTo instance, removes the instance from the timeline, so is no longer there, that's why is not scrolling again.

 

What you have to do is check if the particular instance is defined in the timeline. If it is, that means the ScrollTo instance still exists so there is no problem. If the instance doesn't exists means that you have to add it again to the timeline and restart it.

 

Something like this:

Hopefully this is enough to get you started.

 

Let us know if you have more questions.

 

Happy Tweening!

Hi @Rodrigo

 

Thanks so much for this. Worked perfectly.
Also thanks for making more sense of the auto kill feature. 

 

Much appreciated!
