elements layer messed up, index issue?

[psfortuna]

I'm a beginner with GSAP and following a tutorial in a video, so i already got what I wanted, the issue is when I click my hamburger menu the layer or the object that was used together with GSAP is always on top with other elements, even a simple box can go over to the top without any z-index manipulation, idk please help me.. 
as you can see to opened hamburger menu, its still showing up even i dont intend to.

Unopened hamburger menu:



Opened hamburger menu:

code:

 

import LogoImage from "../../common/Logo";

import DisplayPicture from "../../../assets/profile_in_pofolio-1.jpg";

import { useRef } from "react";

import "../main.scss";

const About = () => {

  const overlay = document.querySelector(".overlay");

 

  window.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {

    const { clientX, clientY } = e;

    const x = Math.round((clientX / window.innerWidth) * 100);

    const y = Math.round((clientY / window.innerHeight) * 100);

 

    gsap.to(overlay, {

      "--x": `${x}%`,

      "--y": `${y}%`,

      duration: 0.3,

      ease: "sine.out",

    });

  });

 

  // span.addEventListener("click", () => {

  //   overlay.classList.toggle("is-open");

  // });

 

  return (

It's pretty tough to troubleshoot without a minimal demo - the issue could be caused by CSS, markup, a third party library, your browser, an external script that's totally unrelated to GSAP, etc. Would you please provide a very simple CodePen or CodeSandbox that demonstrates the issue? 

 

Please don't include your whole project. Just some colored <div> elements and the GSAP code is best (avoid frameworks if possible). See if you can recreate the issue with as few dependancies as possible. If not, incrementally add code bit by bit until it breaks. Usually people solve their own issues during this process! If not, then at least we have a reduced test case which greatly increases your chances of getting a relevant answer.

 

Here's a starter CodePen that loads all the plugins. Just click "fork" at the bottom right and make your minimal demo:

If you're using something like React/Next/Vue/Nuxt or some other framework, you may find StackBlitz easier to use. We have a series of collections with different templates for you to get started on these different frameworks: React/Next/Vue/Nuxt.

 

Once we see an isolated demo, we'll do our best to jump in and help with your GSAP-specific questions.

Hi,

 

A few things.

 

It seems that you're using React in this example. Always use GSAP Context when adding GSAP animations in your react environments:

https://greensock.com/docs/v3/GSAP/gsap.context()

 

Also take a look at the resources in this page:

 

For your mouse follower I'd suggest using GSAP QuickTo:

https://greensock.com/docs/v3/GSAP/gsap.quickTo()

 

Finally this could be resolved by setting the visibility to hidden when the menu animation is completed (hence when the menu is visible) and setting the visibility to visible when you close the menu. You can use GSAP autoAlpha for that:

// Hide the element
gsap.set(element, { autoAlpha: 0 });

// Show the element
gsap.set(element, { autoAlpha: 1 });

Hopefully this helps.

Happy Tweening!
