Hi,

I am using v3d.SimplePreloader to load cube (gltf format). It has a simple key frame animation (translation along X axis). I am using the following code to animate the cube. But the animation is not playing. Also attached the blender file for reference.
```
function runCode(app) {
    
  let cubeObject = app.scene.getObjectByName("Cube");
  const mixer = new v3d.AnimationMixer(cubeObject);
  
  const action = v3d.SceneUtils.getAnimationActionByName(app, 'CubeAction');
  
  if (action) {
    
    // Set the action to play only once
    action.setLoop(v3d.LoopOnce);

    // Play the animation
    action.play();

    
  }
	
  function update() {
    requestAnimationFrame(update);

    const delta = app.clock.getDelta();
    mixer.update(delta);
    
    // Render the scene
    app.renderer.render(app.scene, app.camera);
  }

  // Start the animation update loop
  update();
  
}
```

You don’t have animations with the name “CubeAction”.

You use a lot of unneeded code. What for? Why do you call the renderer and create the action mixer once again? They are already created and working.
```
function runCode(app)  {
  const action = v3d.SceneUtils.getAnimationActionByName(app, 'Cube');
  
  if (action)  {
    action.reset();
    // Set the action to play only once
    action.setLoop(v3d.LoopOnce);
    // Play the animation
    action.play();
  }
}
```
Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

Thanks for your reply.

I added the update() function after referring to the webgl animation keyframe example, just because the animation is not playing.

I tried the above code, but the animation is still not playing.
I have attached the Blender (3.6) file.

What do you want? Do you want just to run the animation in your app or do you want to run that animation via JS?

You can run it using the Auto Start option in Blender

You can run it via puzzles

Or you can run it via JS this way

Thanks for your solution. It’s working.

I disabled Auto Start in export settings just because, I want to play the animation through a button click in HTML document.

Use puzzles. It’s the simplest way.
