Prevent timeline to play again if trigger is clicked a second time

Question

Hi. how do I prevent the timeline of a symbol from restarting when the trigger button is clicked a second time and the timeline has already run. I have a line that grows when I click the button and I want it to stay like. When I click the button again the line jumps to its original size.
thank you

Answer 1

add a variable on the timeline of the symbol.
var a=0;
then in your click event in compositionReady use:
sym.$('buttonName').bind('click',funciton(){
if(A==0){
     sym.getSymbol('name').play();
A=1;
}else{
     sym.getSymbol('name').stop();
or you could unbind your click event
sym.$('buttonName').bind('click',funciton(){
     sym.$('buttonName').unbind('click');
     sym.getSymbol('name').play();
