pause/resume with TweenLite and TweenMax v10

[kcos]

Hi

I am working on an AS3 slideshow developed with TweenLite10

I need to be able to pause/resume the slideshow

 

Is there an example/tutorial explaining how to add TweenMax10 pause() / resume() functionality to a project?

 

Thanks

[Carl]

I haven't used v10 in ages. but from glancing at the TweenMax.as "key methods", I would suggest you use:

 

 

TweenMax.pauseAll(true, true)

TweenMax.resumeAll(true, true)

 

please keep in mind that there isn't any way that we can really diagnose how to make your project pause and resume. if the project uses Timers or setIntervals for delays, the TweenMax commands won't have any control over those.

[kcos]

The project calls:TweenLite.to() and uses a Timer

The code below works!

 

 

function pause():void{
_delayTimer.stop();
_delayTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, durationExpired);
TweenMax.pauseAll(true, true);
}

function resume():void{
TweenMax.resumeAll(true, true)
_delayTimer.delay = getImageDuration(_currViewer.image);
_delayTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, durationExpired, false, 0, true);
_delayTimer.start();
}

cool! thanks for the update.

I have a follow up question.

While the slideshow is paused, the user can select a new slide from the thumbnails.

When the slideshow is resumed, will it start at the paused point or the new selected slide?

ie. Does TweenMax know that the slideshow has moved while it is paused?

Thanks

Does TweenMax know that the slideshow has moved while it is paused?

 

I really don't know much about how your slideshow works but if you are performing some action that isn't controlled by TweenMax, I would guess that TweenMax has no knowledge of it.
