Pause the specified timeline in other scene?

Hi,

I can pause the specified timeline for the NO current scene?

For example,

I want return to main timeline of the first scene but without animation using “pause”.

You cannot do it while on another scene.

But you can do it with out a Pause Timeline Keyframe Action on the Main Timeline by using the Javascript APIs.

Put a function on the scene load of scene one. Which contains:

if (hypeDocument.currentSceneName() == "scene1"  && window.scenecount != 0){//-- check the scene and number of time we have been here before
	
	hypeDocument.pauseTimelineNamed('Main Timeline');//--pause the timeline
	
		

		
	}
		window.scenecount++;	//-- add 1 to the count

Put in the head file:

<script type="text/javascript">
	window.scenecount = 0;
</script>

When scene 1 loads for the first time the window.scenecount will b e 0 , so the main timeline will run.

Next time it will be 1 so the JS will pause the timeline.

That worked, but when change the layout in the same scene no load the timeline.

Each layout has it’s own onload which you need to set

I tried to start the Timeline using on layout unload from vertical layout, but not worked.

hmm, I actually had a chance to look at this again,

If I use my example above and only add a layout to each scene, not changing anything else. I get the behaviour expected.
You do not need to add the JS to any other layout, just need to make sure it runs on the first scene/layout that runs.

So I do not know why yours is not working. Are you able to post your example that is not working.
