Confused with running timeline on symbol

Symbols
1

Hi,

I am looking to continue running a timeline in a symbol but am a little confused, I look at the documentation for get symbol instance by ID but was unable in getting this to work.

I have created a small sample project to demonstrate what I am looking at achieve.
Test.zip (15.0 KB)

The function bayshow() has the following lines:

		var symb = hypeDocument.getSymbolInstanceById(baycar);
	symb.startTimelineNamed('Main Timeline', hypeDocument.kDirectionForward);

This is where I am trying continue the timeline for the symbols.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are a couple of things going on but not knowing what your goal is I will just comment on the main issue.

Your code works but on the symbol timelines right at the begining have a pause keyframe action.
Remove them as at the moment you are starting the timelines and immediately pausing them

Many thanks Mark, removing the pause did the trick.
