I have noticed that many people struggle to work out how to make a toggle button that uses a single Timeline. Many get tripped up by putting a Pause timeline at the beginning of the timeline when wanting to use reverse timeline. The animations either don’t start, take two clicks to start or just r…

Thanks @MarkHunte – cool technique! Adding your nice diagram to your post.

Hi There, I’m really struggling with this - it seems like it should be simple but when I use the logic suggested on a different file it just doesn’t work. Either the animation stops or jumps back to the beginning? Here’s an example of what I’ve recreated based on the instructions? What am I doing…

Hey The behavior would ideally be to use an on mouse up release event to trigger a timeline to play and then use a second mouse up event on the same button to reverse the timeline that just played. That would be a very simple toggle construct. I am happy to use the solution but it seems complex. N…

@nickbarling Hi Nick - Welcome to the Forum! @MarkHunte ’s example was timeline based, which has no conditional structure built into it. So a wee bit of JavaScript will give You a simple conditional evaluation. Most of the code is generated by Hype’s Timeline API that is tucked inside a simple cond…
