Play sound clip in tweens

[BCI 4 Likes (Newbie)]

Using SoundManager2 library, my sound has already been created. I want to call the play function once my timeline reaches the correct point. Any ideas how I can do this? Thanks in advance.

tl.set("#mod5", {visibility:"visible"}, "#mod5")
  // call soundManager --> soundManager.play('mod5')
  .staggerFrom("#e5", 0.5, {autoAlpha:0, x:180})
  .to("#e6", 0.5, {delay:1});

Hi Nick and welcome to the Greensock forums.

 

You can use the call() method, which calls for a specific function at a given time, like this:

tl.set("#mod5", {visibility:"visible"}, "#mod5")
  .call(playSound)
  .staggerFrom("#e5", 0.5, {autoAlpha:0, x:180})
  .to("#e6", 0.5, {delay:1});

function playSound()
{
  soundManager.play('mod5');
}

Rodrigo.

Also, if you're just calling a single function at that time, you could use call like this without having to create an extra playSound function:

.call(soundManager.play, ['mod5'], soundManager);
// essentially says - call play('mod5') on the soundManager object

You need to add soundManager as the 3rd parameter (scope) since soundManager.play doesn't maintain that scope automatically. Javascript can be weird
