I have a UIView whose backing layer has a CAKeyframeAnimation with a simple straight line path set as its `path`.
Can I have the animation "frozen", so to speak, and manually change its progress?
For example:
If the path is 100 points in length, setting the progress (offset?) to 0.45 should have the view move 45 points down the path.
I remember seeing an article that did something similar (moving a view along a path based on the value from a slider) via CAMediaTiming interfaces, but I haven't been able to find it, even after a few hours of searching. If I'm approaching this in a completely wrong way, please do let me know. Thanks.
Here's some sample code, if the above isn't clear enough.
- (void)setupAnimation
{
CAKeyFrameAnimation *animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"position"];
UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
[path moveToPoint:_label.layer.position];
[path addLineToPoint:(CGPoint){200, 200}];
animation.path = path.CGPath;
animation.duration = 1;
animation.autoreverses = NO;
animation.removedOnCompletion = NO;
animation.speed = 0;
// _label is just a UILabel in a storyboard
[_label.layer addAnimation:animation forKey:@"LabelPathAnimation"];
}
- (void)sliderDidSlide:(UISlider *)slider
{
// move _label along _animation.path for a distance that corresponds to slider.value
}
