Jumping Ahead in Timeline For Testing Purposes

[Amanda 4 Likes (Newbie)]

Quick question - I'm trying to figure out how to jump ahead in a timeline, just as a temporary measure for working and testing purposes. I'm trying to use seek.();, but it doesn't seem to be working. 

 

thanks!

Hi ald603 

 

What I usually do is add a testing label and move it around as I need to only view parts of a timeline during the design process. Something like this:

tl = new TimelineMax({paused:true});

tl.to(element,1, {...})
  .to(element,1, {...})
  .add("testingLabel")
  .to(element ,1, {...});

tl.play("testingLabel")

Here's a really simple CodePen showing it in action.

Hopefully that helps a bit.

 

Happy tweening.
