My function that uses .animate
is working nicely but I'm trying to add in a setTimeout (probably 2-3 seconds) and not making much progress.
Below is the code for the animation.
tt = $('#tickertext');
tt.append('<pre>' + 'Paolo Nutini: New Shoes');
console.log('width ' + tt.width());
w = parseInt(tt.width());
tt.animate({
left: w * -1
}, w * 10, 'linear', backToStart);
$('#ticker').css('width', '155px').css('visibility', 'visible');
$('#tickerholder').css('width', '155px');
function backToStart() {
tt.animate({
left: 155
}, 1)
.animate({
left: w * -1
}, (w + 155) * 10, 'linear', backToStart);
}
Now below shouldn't I be able to do something like:
setTimeout("backToStart", 3000);
What exactly am I missing here? The above is having no effect.
looks like the method is in a closure scope, so try
setTimeout(backToStart, 3000);
even the string parameter is wrong because in that case you need to invoke the function like setTimeout("backToStart()", 3000);
, but then the method backToStart
must be in the global scope
