I am trying to implement the “sec dot” from a smartwatch’s digital watch face in the Demo on my LCD.
When I use the Play button in the Manage Animation section of the Animation panel in the top-right corner of the Screen area view, the red dot rotates correctly.
However, when I press the Play button in the top-right corner, the red dot does not rotate.
What do I need to modify to make the red dot rotate automatically?
I second, you need to actually start the animation from an event with ‘PLAY ANIMATION’ action, the play-button in the inspector panel is only there for temporary observation purposes. ‘SCREEN_LOADED’ trigger can be a good candidate, but in SmartWatch demo these dot-moving events (called ‘sec’/‘dot’) are put in ‘initial actions’ so no matter if you change screens back and forth, the animations won’t be recreated, restarted and accumulated. Which one is the better method depends on what your design dictates.
