The invention discloses a playback control method of animation elements in a dynamic cartoon, and an electronic device. The method comprises the following steps: exactly dividing a total elapsed timept by an animation playing time d to obtain a current cycle index ct; calculating the elapsed time pttt of the current round according to the following formula: pttt=pt-ct*d; calculating the animationprogress pg of the current round according to the following formula: pg=pttt/d, and playing back the animation elements according to the animation progress pg of the current round. By adoption of themethod provided by the invention, the problem that the playback of the animation elements cannot be controlled in the prior art is solved, and the method provided by the invention has the characteristics of being simple, easy to implement and high in efficiency.
