Examples

-- cancel all running transitions
 
local transition1 = transition.to( currentTarget, { time=400, y=y+100, iterations=5, tag="transTag" } )
local transition2 = transition.to( otherTarget, { time=200, y=y-200, tag="transTag" } )
 
-- later, cancel all running transitions
transition.cancel()
-- cancel a specific transition
 
local transition1 = transition.to( currentTarget, { time=400, y=y+100, iterations=5, tag="transTag" } )
local transition2 = transition.to( otherTarget, { time=200, y=y-200, tag="transTag" } )
 
-- later, cancel a specific transition
transition.cancel( transition1 )
-- cancel all transitions on a display object
 
local transition1 = transition.to( currentTarget, { time=400, y=y+100, iterations=5, tag="transTag" } )
local transition2 = transition.to( otherTarget, { time=200, y=y-200, tag="transTag" } )
 
-- later, cancel all transitions on the object 'otherTarget'
transition.cancel( otherTarget )
-- cancel all transitions with a specific tag
 
local transition1 = transition.to( currentTarget, { time=400, y=y+100, iterations=5, tag="transTag" } )
local transition2 = transition.to( otherTarget, { time=200, y=y-200, tag="transTag" } )
 
-- later, cancel all transitions with the tag "transTag"
transition.cancel( "transTag" )
