[Control a timeline that is inside a function]

that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! I just moved all the TL out of function and that also worked but I might still use this. Is there any reason keeping them in functions is better? Thank you again 

[Control a timeline that is inside a function]

We have a "product tour" that allows visitors to step through an Admin panel. Right now we have each animation in a function that gets called when the user visits that panel and starts playing that tour. There are a total of 3 tours on the page that are in tabs/panel. We can get them to play when the user click the tab by calling the animation function tour1TLm, and then pause on the first step using addPause() in the tl but can not get them to resume with a click of a button or hotspot. You can see me code pen of a simple example of what we want to do.
