@llsc12 I'm just looking at the internal impl. Apple has an internal _UILabelMarqueeAnimationDelegate object which listens to animation start and end. So you would set [self setValue:@1 forKey:@"marqueeRepeatCount"]; in all your labels, listen to animationDidStop:finished: in the delegate object of the longest running label, and notify other labels to start animation again.
The animation object contains the animation length, but not sure yet how UILabel calculates it. It's a relatively simple calc, but params such as rate are not exposed. Once I have all this implemented, I will post a small framework with an easy public API for what you need.
Very interesting, also thank you for your insights!
You can play around with what I came up with here:
@Chronos2500 how would i know when to stop one marquee label to wait for the other? presumably i'd need to know when the last label has finished before i can then tell all labels to run again right? thanks.
