KillTweensOf doesn't call onComplete

[Joe Hakooz]

Hello,

Not sure if this is a bug or by design. I suspect the latter of course

 

In the AS version, KillTweensOf has a second parameter that will call the onComplete function. Here is a thread about that... http://forums.greensock.com/topic/1932-can-a-killed-tween-still-trigger-oncomplete/

 

In the JS version, KillTweensOf does not have this parameter. I'm curious, should it be there?

 

My work around was to use KillAll which does use the onComplete param. This worked for my situation but I could see this being a problem for others.

 

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

 

I just grabbed this off the "new features" list on http://www.greensock.com/v12

 

I think it will help de-mystify the missing complete param in v12...

 

 

 

25. The complete parameter of killTweensOf() has been removed because it created confusion when only specific properties were defined using the vars parameter. For example, if the old method was called like TweenLite.killTweensOf(myObject, true, {y:true}), was the whole tween supposed to be forced to completion or only the y property? Adding the ability to only force the y property to completion would require too much kb (file size) and it wouldn’t solve the confusion issue, so I removed the parameter altogether. If you want to force all the tweens of a particular object to completion, simply use the TweenLite.getTweensOf() to get an array of them, and loop through it and do myTween.goto( myTween.duration() ) first. The revised method works just like the old one:

 

//kills ALL tweens of myObject immediately
TweenLite.killTweensOf(myObject);

//kills only the "y" and "x" portions of any tweens of myObject
TweenLite.killTweensOf(myObject, {y:true, x:true});

Nice catch Carl. I can live with that for sure.

 

Thanks!

And by the way, there was a typo in the post that used "goto()" but it should have said "seek()" because apparently "goto" is reserved in JavaScript so we had to switch the name. Sorry about any confusion there.

hi. Is it possible to kill all teens of a named timeline?

 

e.g:

fancy_animate = new TimelineMax();

TweenMax.killTweensOf(fancy_animate);

 

is this valid?

 

thanks.

In this case you would just kill the timeline.

 

fancy_animate.kill();
