I am using Animate as a Quick HTML editor that displays data from remote feeds. I am having issues with the Scope. My Code below:

Also I am using a external JS library for all of my gets and posts. This example I am using. https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js

var tl = this

//Slide1 and Slide2 are Key Frames on the same timeline. Slide1 = Frame 1 and Slide2 = Frame 2

    $.get( "https://give.benevolentenabler.com/api/custom/totals/1", function( data ) {

        if(data.raised.length > 0){

        tl.theTime.text = "$" + data.raised;

            tl.stop();  <-----Does Nothing. Keeps Playing.     

        }

      else{

     //"Do Something Else Like"

          tl.gotoandstop('Slide2'); <-----Does Nothing. Keeps Playing.

          }

    })

   

I know i have to me missing something super simple.

Also, please notice that should be gotoAndStop and not gotoandstop.

    I fixed the naming issues and it still ignores my if and else statements and continues to Slide to.

    var tl = this

        $.get( "https://give.benevolentenabler.com/api/custom/totals/1", function( data ) {

            //alert(data.raised);

            tl.theTime.text = "$" + data.raised;

            alert(data.raised.length);

           

            if(data.raised.length > 0){ <------This if statement is true and it does not stop the timeline. It continues to Frame 2.

            tl.theTime.text = "$" + data.raised;

                tl.stop();

            }

            else{ <------Do not think this is doing anything.

         //"Do Something Else Like"

              tl.gotoAndPlay('Slide2')

              }

        })

    The usual stuff... have you alert'd or console.log'd inside your code to ensure that tl is actually set? Have you opened the developer console and checked for errors?

    Yes. I have used Alerts. It is getting data it needs.  Below works.

    var tl = this

        $.get( "https://give.benevolentenabler.com/api/custom/totals/1", function( data ) {

            //alert(data.raised);

            tl.theTime.text = "$" + data.raised; 

        })

    tl.stop();
