How to check the state of an Animated Timer in ActivePresenter?

ActivePresenter Support Questions

Hi,

I created an Animated Timer and start it from different places in my project.

Is there a way to check the current state of the timer?

For example:

  • Is the timer currently running?

  • Is it paused?

  • Has it been stopped?

Is there any built-in system variable, object property, or JavaScript API that provides this information, or do I need to track the timer state with my own variable?

Thank you.

Hi Alice,

Currently, ActivePresenter does not provide a built-in system variable, object property, or JavaScript API to check the current state of an Animated Timer, such as whether it is running, paused, or stopped.

If you need to check the timer state during playback, you will need to track it manually using your own variable and update that variable whenever you start, pause, or stop the timer.

Best regards,
Hoa
