Fast forwarding timeline

[Steven 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hello,

 

UPDATE : I found this answer http://forums.greensock.com/topic/7694-tweento-duration/ that works well. Sorry for the duplicate question.

 

I created a timeline with labels and tweens. It's basically 4 slides (100% height) that move up or down.

 

I have a top menu and when I click on an item I want to move the playhead to the right label so i'm using the myTimeline.tweenTo('labelName') which is working fine.

 

But let's say I'm on my first label and I want to fast forward to the last one when I click on the last menu item.

 

When I do a tweenTo('lastLabel'), it takes a long time before getting there because it's doing all the transitions (with easing). Is there a way to "skip" the transitions, delays, duration to go to the last label.

 

I could change :

timeline.timeScale()
TweenLite.defaultEase = Linear.easeNone
 

but I was wondering if there was an easier way.

 

Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to the Greensock Forums.

 

have you tried the seek() method:

 

http://api.greensock.com/js/com/greensock/TimelineLite.html#seek()
 

 //jumps to exactly 2 seconds
 myAnimation.seek(2);
 
 //jumps to exactly 2 seconds but doesn't suppress events during the initial move:
 myAnimation.seek(2, false);
 
 //jumps to the "myLabel" label
 myAnimation.seek("myLabel");

is this what you mean?
