Joel, Thank you very very much for your help with this! I now see what you did. This helps me more than you can imagine! I appreciate the time you spent helping me out!

So, at 1000 (trigger) i replace this code:

if ( sym.isPlayDirectionReverse("PortfolioEnd") ) { sym.stop("PortfolioEnd") } else { sym.play("PortfolioStart") };

by this one:

if ( sym.isPlayDirectionReverse() ) {

sym.$("connect_2").show();

sym.$("services_2").show();

sym.$("portfolio_2").show();

};

Note that sym.isPlayDirectionReverse() is a boolean function. You cannot script: sym.isPlayDirectionReverse("PortfolioEnd");

Your files: nav.zip - Box

Hey Joel! Thanks so much for your reply. I looked at the demo file you attached and I can't figure it out in my situation. I have zipped my project, in hopes you would be kind enough to assess and assist me with what I am missing.

nav.zip - Google Drive

Every time I click on a link.... "PORTFOLIO" for example, if i hit the menu button, and return to the main nav where I see the links again, clicking on another link, for example "SERVICES", the title does not appear after the animation.

Thanks very much for your help! This worked!

Not sure if this code has anything to do with this issue:

I am also having another problem - if you would be so kind to help me figure this one out...

I click on and of the buttons Portfolio or Services or Connect or Dspace

then it animates to this (if i click on Portfolio for example):

I then use the reverse playback, with your code to stop it back to the start (image 1).

If I click on another button (services for example) it animates back to (image 2) but now without showing the larger "SERVICES" like it did for "PORTFOLIO"

It only shows the appropriate title if I refresh the browser.

I use the hide function on the other titles of the other buttons so they don't all appear on top of each other each time a different button is clicked.

here is my timeline if it helps any:

Thanks again for your help with this!

You can try this code (Start Trigger):

if ( sym.isPlayDirectionReverse() ) { sym.stop() } else { sym.play() };

sym.isPlayDirectionReverse() returns true if you are playing reverse.

So, if i play reverse then i stop the timeline else i play.

So, I have an animation play, and when it finished a button appears. A click of that button reverses the timeline to start it off where it begins. The problem is that where it begins is a playback trigger. There is no way (that I know of) to stop the reverse playback at the start without hitting the playback trigger. I can't for the life of me figure out how to deal with this. Any help would be great! I do not know java script fyi.
