Bezier autoRotate is driving me up the wall

[Cutty Bang]

Hello,

 

I am tweening an image using a bezier curve and autoRotate. 

The tween in fine, the bezier path looks fine, and it’s autoRotating how it’s supposed to, except:

 

Upon init, the image is ‘pre rotated’ by 45deg, and does all auto rotation relative to this initial rotation. 

 

Ive tried everything I can think of. Forcing a compensating counter rotation via CSS transform, using TweenMax.set() with the initial values, setting it on the TweenMax.to() call that contains the bezier, setting it in the first x,y coords of the path array, and a combination of all of those. Nothing is working. If I take off the auto rotate, it just does the tween without auto rotating but still turned 45 deg, if I use the offset array set to 0, it just stays at a zero rotation and does the tween, if I try to set it in CSS, it flips it around 45deg in the opposite direction and does the tween from there. 

 

what is going on? What am I missing?

Have you tried setting autoRotate:-45 instead of autoRotate:true?

 

If you could provide a demo, that would get you the best answers. More info:

Happy tweening.
