|
frame duration of showing letter before animating
out (if doout=true) |

Explanation:
"dur 1" is the duration when
blocks move towards their postion
"dur 2" is the duration
when blocks are in position and finalize revealing
to final end state
! Both have minimum and maximum parameters below
! If you match matchdur12
(true), then the letter blocks after being readable
will simply use the same durations to animate
out to nothing, basically as if you rewind a movie.
Notice that order will be dur1
- dur2 - stay - dur2 - dur1 (
Be careful not to confuse the dur1 and dur2 order
for the blocks animating out after readable has
finished.... dur2 comes before dur1 on the way
out. ) |
