Animate to random label

[snowscarecrow 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi

 

Im trying to make an animation with random number to animate in different time in timlelinemac, so long everything is fine.

Then I have so sync several animations and make labels at different time stops.

 

The problem Im having after that is - I made random numbers between 1-11 and then I want to make a tween to a label with a number "1", "2" and so on.

 

var tlCC:TimelineMax = new TimelineMax({paused:true});
tlCC.addLabel("1",1.2);
tlCC.addLabel("2",2.14);
tlCC.addLabel("3",3.14);
tlCC.append(animateInReverse(mc_02));

btn.onRelease = function()
{

tlCC.timeScale = 10;
var kalle = random(11) + 1;
tlCC.tweenTo(kalle);
// How do I get the random number kalle between 1-11 to animate to the same variable 1 to 11.
// As it is now it's animating in time not to a variable with a timename.
// couldn't make a dynamic reference with [] either...
trace(kalle);

};

 

Or should I consider a different solution, like store all the variables in a array and random through all of them and tweenTo that array?

 

Probably easier to understand if you look at the attached file.

Really stuck here, and help would be great

The problem is that TweenTo()'s parameter is a time OR label. If you pass in a Number it is treated as a time. If you pass in a String it is treated as a label.

 

tweenTo(1) // goes to a time of 1
tweenTo("1") // goes to the label named "1"

 

Try converting kalle to a String like so:

 

tlCC.tweenTo( String(kalle) );
