Adding label in timeline help

[Myows]

Hi again,

 

probably another noob question so bear with me, I'm sure the answer is simple...

 

I'm using Timeline Max to create a lengthy animation, think of it as a DVD with chapters.

 

Now i understand that adding a label with this:

 

tl.addLabel ("name", 5);

will add my label 5 seconds into the Timeline, regardless of where I place the addLabel code.

 

I want to add a label before each chapter starts, so inside my timeline, and without a hard value like 5 seconds.

 

How would i do that?

 

 

 

As an example, If you look at http://max-guedy.com/animation-cofely/complet.html once you've clicked the "lancer animation" button, 3 circles appear, which i would like to use as buttons to play different parts, or chapters, of the animation.

 

Many thanks in advance

you can use the append() method to add a label without specifying a time:

so just do

 

tl.append("chapter3") 

 

right before you add the animation/tweens for chapter 3.
