[Laszlo-user] Stop for animator and animatorgroup

[André Bargull]

Hello Srini Raja,
this is apparently just a simple bug, filed as "LPP-4295" under 
"http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-4295".
Now you've got two options:
-set the "isactive"-flag manually for your nested animator. (That'd be 
quite lame...)
-overwrite "LzAnimatorGroup#update(..)" in a script-block at the very 
beginning of your application. (IMHO this is a better approach)

[code]
  <script>
    //LzAnimatorGroup.addProperty("update", function update( time ) 
{..});//OpenLaszlo4.x-style
    LzAnimatorGroup.prototype.update = function( time ) {
        #pragma "warnUndefinedReferences=false"
        var animend = this.process == "simultaneous" ? 
this.actAnim.length -1 : 0;
        if ( this.paused ) {
            return;
        }
       
        for (var i = animend; i >= 0 ; i-- ) {
            var a = this.actAnim[i];
            if (a.notstarted) {
                a.isactive = true;
                a.prepareStart();
                a.notstarted = false;
            } else if (a.needsrestart) {
                a.resetAnimator();
                a.needsrestart = false;
            }
       
            if ( a.update( time ) ) {
                this.actAnim.splice( i, 1 );
            }
       
        }
       
        if ( ! this.actAnim.length ) {
            return this.checkRepeat();
        }
        return false;
    };
    //});//end: OL4.x-style
  </script>
[/code]

Best regards,
André
