Sprite Image begin on click

[fibby]

I have this and it works fine but I want the animation only start when a user touches the screen. I try changing the begin="enable" to begin="click" or "mousedown" but it does not seemed to work. Is there something else I need to change to make it start only when user touches the screen ?

<symbol id="bgframes" href="#sprite-image">
<animate id="anim" attributeName="value" begin="enable"
from="1" to="15" dur="4"
repeatDur="30" repeatCount="indefinite" />
<image href="bg_01.png" />
</symbol>

Having the same issue and can't find the solution. Was hoping someone would have given the answer...

If nothing else works, you could call .animate() from your .js. You'll also need to set up the plumbing to detect the touch/click/mouse event.

How would I set it up to detect touch/click/mouse event? Graphics I'm awesome at coding, not at all. I'm learning this on the fly. 

my index.j

import * as document from "document";

const dobbyAnimation = document.getElementById("dobbyAnimation");

dobbyAnimation.animate("click");

widgets.gui
<symbol id="frames" href="#sprite-image">
<animate id="anim" attributeName="value" begin="click"
from="01" to="40" dur="2.5" />
<image href="dobby_01.png" width="300" height="300" />
</symbol>

It does nothing. If I switch click to enable and add repeat duration/count it works and plays perfectly. I would rather it play on click. 

Idealistically I would like 3 different animations that it cycles through on click but one step at a time... I'm trying to make my own version of the toystory apple watch face but with harry potter...

THANK YOU! Took me forever where to put the pointer-events="visible" because I don't have a .view file but I got it!! In my index.gui, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!! I've been working hours on this one tiny thing!!!

Fabulous; well done! pointer-events is a common gotcha, and the old documentation doesn't help.

The satisfaction of overcoming hurdles like this makes the pain worthwhile — sometimes.

I was half-expecting criticism for being vague. 🙂
