GSAP and detecting item in a timeline, while looping Marquee.

[Ken Flores]

Hey Gurus and amazing people of the GSAP community! 

Im trying to have a continues flow of having the middle word being red, anyone knows if there is a better gsap way? a way to detect the item that is in the middle to be able to turn it red? Perhaps with scrolltrigger? because i am not in the scrolling that may not be the way.. 

Also, when I clone the track and then I scan items again, it just keeps going up in blanks instead of looping.. 
thanks for your help in advance!

Hi @Ken Flores. Seamless loops are actually a lot more tricky than you might expect logic-wise (unrelated to GSAP). That's why we made a helper function for that:

Here's what I think you were trying to do, but this is much more efficient:

Does that help?
