Pulse in Javascript

ActivePresenter Support Questions

Problem:
Hi, I want to make an object pulse in Javascript.
I manage to make the object pulse once in the speed I want it to pulse but I cannot make it pulse several times. I thought I made add this as part of the options parameter. But it doesn’T seem to be that way.

prez.object(HelpEmoji).animate(AP.EffectType.PULSE, 500, ???);

Where and how can I add the number of PULSES?

Thanks, Rolf

Hi Rolf,

There’s no option for repeating the effect.
You can use “callback” option, or JS functions such as setTimeout, setInterval to do that.
Below is an example using “callback” option:

var pulseTimes = 3;   // pulse 3 times

var currentPulseTimes = 0;
function pulseCallback() {
  ++currentPulseTimes;
  if (currentPulseTimes < pulseTimes) // do next pulse
    this.animate(AP.EffectType.PULSE, 500, {callback: pulseCallback});
}
// first pulse
prez.object('HelpEmoji').animate(AP.EffectType.PULSE, 500, {callback: pulseCallback});

Regards

Hi,

Do you have the names for the another EffectType animation codes?

Yes, they are TRANSPARENCY, COMPLEMENTARY_COLOR, COMPLEMENTARY_COLOR2, CONTRASTING_COLOR, DARKEN_COLOR, DESATURATE_COLOR, LIGHTEN_COLOR, PULSE_COLOR, BLINK.

While Grow/Shrink and Motion Path don’t have animation code names.
Thanks for your post. We’ll update the information for the document.

Best regards,
Thuy
