jump to end of timelinelite?

[erikb]

Is there a shorthand to jump to the end of a timelinelite instance (and fire all of its onComplete listeners)?  The best I can think to do is do the math noting that starts and the full durations of the timelinelite's timelines and seek to that time.  But I imagine there is an easier way.

This seems to work... anything wrong with this approach?

myTween.seek( '-=0', false );

Hi,
 
Instead of doing the math you can get the timeline's duration with the duration() or totalDuration() methods.
 
The duration method gets or set the duration of a timeline that doesn't include repeats or repeat delays, while totalDuration does consider those. Like that the engine does all the math for you.

var tl = new TimelineMax()
    lineDuration,
    lineTotalDuration;

tl
  .to(element, time, {vars})
  .to(element, time, {vars})
  //and so on

lineDuration = tl.duration();

lineTotalDuration = tl.totalDuration();

Now in order to jump to a specific time and execute callbacks seek is the best way to go, just include a boolean after the time parameter to indicate if you want to suppress the callbacks or not.

//the second parameter is suppress events
//by default is true, so no callbacks are executed
//in this case by setting it to false, callbacks are executed
tl.seek(lineDuration, false);

tl.seek(lineTotalDuration, false);

Bah!!! I totally forgot that you can use progress as well. You avoid the extra code of getting the timeline's duration/totalDuration.

var tl = new TimelineLite();

tl.progress(1, false);

I've never saw the relative negative value, perhaps Jack or Carl could explain that. What I knew about is reverse(0) which reverses the instance from the end.

Yep, any of the following should do:

tl.progress(1, false);
tl.seek(tl.duration(), false);
tl.time(tl.duration(), false);
tl.totalProgress(1, false);
tl.totalTime(tl.totalDuration(), false);
