MorphSVGPlugin problems

[Wim Lammers]

Hi,

 

I have become a GreenSock Club member (Shockingly Green) yesterday, and am now trying to use (and modify the MorphSVGPlugin). When I copied the files from CodePen onto my own laptop (and using Dreamweaver), I get a message that I am using a trial version of MorphSVGPlugin, only suitable for CodePen. I therefore downloaded the MorphSVGPlugin and modified the script to:

<script src="js/MorphSVGPlugin.js"></script>

Unfortunately, the morph (to the hippo etc) does not work. What am I doing wrong? In other words, how do I refer, in my own website, to a GreenSock plugin?

Thanks for any help!

Hi @Wim Lammers 

 

Welcome to the forum and thanks for joining Club GreenSock.

 

Sorry to hear you are experiencing problems. Just so we don't overlook the obvious here. Is the plugin definitely in the js/ folder? Are you loading TweenMax too?

 

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/2.0.1/TweenMax.min.js"></script>

 

Can you upload your test animation to a page on your website? If that's not possible, a screenshot of your code would be helpful.

 

Happy tweening.

Hi Craig,

 

Thanks for your reply! Much appreciated.

No, the 'obvious' is not a problem (I think!). The plugin is definitely located in the 'js' folder. I am also loading TweenMax.

I linked my morph attempt onto my website which you can find at: "BasicPhysiology.com" -> link: "GreenSock animation" located in the left column of the first (index) page.

Or you can find the code directly at:

Looking forward to your comments!

Many thanks

Hi GreenSock.docx

[PointC]

Thanks for the link. I see the problem. It looks like you grabbed the MorphSVG plugin from the npm folder. 

 

When you unzip your GreenSock download you'll see the src folder. In there you'd want to grab the MorphSVG plugin from the uncompressed or minified folder. I recommend the minified version. Once you make that change, you'll be all set.

 

Happy tweening.

Hi Craig,

 

It works!! Many thanks for the tip. I will be more careful next time

I have updated my GreenSock link on BasicPhysiology.com

 

Many thanks again!

All the best

Wim
