Stop all animations in createjs Flash animation

I'm using Flash CC canvas project to create a banner. Is there a way to stop all nested animations using JavaScript? I tried createjs.Ticker.setPaused(true); but it does nothing useful.

(I know I could recursively loop through everything and stop() it but that's not what I'm asking about :-))

Solution

  • There isn't way to stop all the animations without looping in createjs.

    createjs.Ticker.setPaused(true); -- will only pause the rendering of things on the complete stage, the animations code will continue to run in the background, so when you unpause the ticker, a sudden final state of animations will be shown which must have gotten executed by that time.

    If you a specific Container that is having those animations, you can try cache() method for that particular container. Caching works like taking a snap, so the animations will not run, until you uncache().
