Check if timeline is playing

Using JavaScript with Hype
1

HI.

I feel a little stupid here, but I need to check if a timeline is playing with javascript and then do something.

So this is what I tried and I’m doing something wrong, or my use-case is irrational:

if hypeDocument.isPlayingTimelineNamed('box') {
		
	hypeDocument.showNextScene(hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);	};

Any ideas?

Thanks

Code should look more like this:

    if (hypeDocument.isPlayingTimelineNamed('box') == true) {
			
		console.log ('timeline is playing');
		hypeDocument.showNextScene(hypeDocument.kSceneTransitionCrossfade, 1.1);
		
		}

Regards, Kalle
