I am trying to get an adobe edge animation to loop from the start. Many tutorials and answers to this say use:
sym.play(0);
or, add a 'label' at the start and use:
sym.play("label");
However, this doesn't work for me.
After some digging, it appears that it may be because I am using 'symbols' (to group 4 different 'scenes' to keep everything organised).
The loop does seem to work if I use:
sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").play();
at the end of the timeline (end of Symbol4). However it will only jump to the start of Symbol1 and play just that one.
What I need is some code which will jump to the start of the timeline and play symbols1 through 4 on repeat forever.
(I tried also getting the stage like this:
sym.getComposition().getStage()
And playing using that, but to no avail) :(
Thanks
UPDATE:
This code seems to replay all, but it only does it one time (so the animation loops 2 times and then stops). Still not there yet! (also this is incredibly hacky!!!)
// Replay from the beginning, regardless of current playing state
if (!sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").isPlaying() &&
!sym.getSymbol("Symbol2").isPlaying() &&
!sym.getSymbol("Symbol3").isPlaying() &&
!sym.getSymbol("Symbol4").isPlaying()
) {
sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").play(0);
sym.getSymbol("Symbol2").play(0);
sym.getSymbol("Symbol3").play(0);
sym.getSymbol("Symbol4").play(0);
}
Figured it out. Add
sym.playAll();
To the 'complete' action to replay all symbols
