Is it possible to pause and resume a Lottie animation in Webflow by clicking on separate play and pause buttons? If so, what steps do I need to take to achieve this functionality?
Yes, it is possible to pause and resume a Lottie animation in Webflow by clicking on separate play and pause buttons. To achieve this functionality, follow these steps:
Add a Lottie Animation: First, add the Lottie animation to your Webflow project. You can do this by dragging and dropping the "Lottie" element onto your web page. Then, upload your Lottie animation file in JSON format.
Set up the Play Button: Next, you need to set up the play button. You can use a button element or any other element of your choice. Give the button a unique class name to style it later if needed.
Add an Interaction: Select the play button element, go to the Interactions panel, and click on the "+" icon to create a new interaction.
Set Up the Play Animation Step: In the Interaction panel, select the play button trigger and choose the "While Clicked" or "Tap" option. Then, click on the "+" icon to add a new animation step.
Choose the Lottie Animation Property: In the animation step, select the Lottie animation element and choose the "Play" action from the dropdown menu. This will play the animation when the play button is clicked.
Set up the Pause Button: Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the pause button, but this time, choose the "Pause" action in the animation step instead of "Play". This will pause the animation when the pause button is clicked.
Style the Buttons (Optional): If needed, you can style the play and pause buttons to match your desired design. You can change the button's size, color, typography, or add any additional hover effects, using either Webflow's built-in styling options or custom CSS.
That's it! You have now set up separate play and pause buttons to control your Lottie animation in Webflow. When the play button is clicked, the animation will start playing, and when the pause button is clicked, the animation will be paused.
