[Loop and stop]

Hey guys,

 

Just wondering if there is an easier way to first start a loop, then stop it.

 

Let's start with this:

//Single object loop

function doTween():void {
    TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {rotation:"348", ease:Linear.easeNone, onComplete:doTween});
}
doTween();

//Stop loop

TweenLite.killTweensOf(mc);


//Multiple object loop

function doTween():void {
    TweenLite.to(mc_01, 1, {rotation:"348", ease:Linear.easeNone, onComplete:doTween});
    TweenLite.to(mc_02, 1, {rotation:"348", ease:Linear.easeNone});
    TweenLite.to(mc_03, 1, {rotation:"348", ease:Linear.easeNone});
}
doTween();

//Stop loop

TweenLite.killTweensOf(mc_01);
TweenLite.killTweensOf(mc_02);
TweenLite.killTweensOf(mc_03);

If there are heaps of objects looping, is there an easier way to stop them all (like by stopping the function somehow)?

 

Also in case 2, let's just say there is a grandfather clock swinging. You can't use the above method because it needs to go back and forth.

function tilt_right() {
    TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {_rotation:30, onComplete:tilt_left, } );
}
function tilt_left() {
    TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {_rotation:-30, onComplete:tilt_right, } );
}
tilt_right();

Once I want it to stop looping, what code would I use?

 

I could possibly use the killTweensOf method again, but if each function had heaps of tweens, it seems like a clunky way of doing it.

 

Thanks guys,

Rhys.
