Execute some method once an effect has been played

Question

Hi everybody, I want to execute a method after the effect i have played is finished. is there any property in AnimationProperty tag to acheive it.
In the component i have pasted below, getting data from xml file and using repeater populate those data in Hbox then it moves the horizontal scroll position of HBox using animation property. once animation property has been played, it has to execute some method. how can we do it ?
the next question is
i want to play animation propery infinite times and i have done it with the help of repeatCount but it takes some delay in between. how can it play infinite imes without any delay in between.

Answer 1

you have posted a VBox component code so it will be the part of your parent Application are you injecting data into this component from the main application ? and your
httpService requires catalog.xml so you need to attach that file so i can run on my side successfully . instead of doing this you can tell the problem you are having so i can guide you on that
