Hi John,

Try the layer's presentationLayer property. The presentationLayer is the thing that is actually moving around and you should be able to get 'current' values from it (give or take a bit).

HTH,

Hello:

I'm trying to pause, and then resume an animation that uses a CATransform3D to set animate the zoom level of a layer. I want to be able to pause the animation, but I can't figure out how to determine the current scale factor of the layer at the time when the animation is paused (using removeAllAnimations on the layer).

Here's how I'm creating the animation in question:

CATransform3D myTransform = CATransform3DMakeScale(aScaleFactor, aScaleFactor, 1.0f);
        CABasicAnimation *myTransformAnimation;
        
myTransformAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"transform"]; myTransformAnimation.toValue = [NSValue valueWithCATransform3D:myTransform];
        
        CABasicAnimation *myAnchorPointAnimation;
        
myAnchorPointAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"anchorPoint"]; myAnchorPointAnimation.toValue = [NSValue valueWithPoint:NSMakePoint(.5, .5)];

        CAAnimationGroup *group = [CAAnimationGroup animation];
        
group.animations = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:myAnchorPointAnimation, myTransformAnimation, nil];

        group.duration = aDuration;
        group.repeatCount = 0;
group.timingFunction = [CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut];
        group.fillMode = kCAFillModeForwards;
        group.removedOnCompletion = NO;

What I've tried so far is to look at at the layer's transform property, then getting the appropriate value from the CATransform3D struct. However, from what I can see by logging one of the struct's value (specifically m11), what you get are the values that make up the toValue in my animation, not the current value at the point in time in the animation when the pause happens.

The only other discussion on pausing an animation came from this thread:

...and it didn't quite apply. If someone has any guidance, I'd really appreciate it.

Best,

John
