Final question, how would i refresh the timeline so the animations go back to their original position when going to and from the page? ie i go to page 2 come back to page 1and the buttons are wherever i left them (open or back to original position)

thanks

This should work for you. Stop, if it is already playing. Play in the opposite direction if it is not playing.

if (sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").isPlaying()) {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").stop();

} else {

if(sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").isPlayDirectionReverse()) {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").play();

}

else

{

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").playReverse();

}

Hi,

I have realised the problem, it does play reverse whilst playing, but I need the animation to come to a stop and then when clicked again, plays the reverse....

I can still share the composition if you like?

James,

can you share your composition. It is working fine for me.

Hi I'm afraid none of these suggestions work and instead the animated object just plays again or goes back to starting position when clicked rather than animating in reverse to its original position ?

Try this, while changing the direction we need to check the current direction

if (sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").isPlaying()) {

if (sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").isPlayDirectionReverse()) {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").play();

}

else {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").playReverse();

}

} else {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").play();

}

Try this - the addition is in bold below

if (sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").isPlaying()) {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").stop();

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").playReverse();

} else {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").play();

}

I have tried with this code but it does not work, any ideas people?

// Set a toggle to play or playReverse the audio timeline

if (sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").isPlaying()) {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").playReverse();

} else {

sym.getSymbol("button1Copy").play();

}

thanks!

James
