The skipTransition function

Syntax:skipTransition() Returns:nil

This method is used to instantly finish any transitions currently affecting this object, including fades and movement animations started with the move method.

Remarks

As blocking transitions pause the execution of the script, it is only possible to skip non-blocking transitions using this method.

Examples

-- Create a Sprite object and show it
ball = Sprite.new("ball.png", 1)
ball:show()

-- Start a non blocking movement animation with a duration of 10 seconds
ball:move(1000, 0, 10, false)

-- Wait 5 seconds
sleep(5)

-- Instantly finish the animation
ball:skipTransition()
