Exposing play method to AnimationAction (hiding controller) #190

Closed JuanCab closed 6 years ago

JuanCab commented 6 years ago

So, as I was exploring options for 'reseting' the view, I discovered the JS side has a play method for AnimationAction which would have served my purposes quite nicely. I was going to access it via controller.exec_three_obj_method('play') but could not figure out a way to hide the four button Play controller. There doesn't appear to be a clear way control AnimationAction programmatically.

Thanks, this has been on the todo list for a while, but it fell between the cracks. I submitted a PR to expose access to the custom methods in #191.

You shouldn't need to display the AnimationAction to use it. All the logic is in the model. Simply do not put the variable as the last statement of a cell, or in a call to display().
