Tween paused when switch to other tabs
Hello everyone,
I'm new to GSAP. I found that when I switch to other tabs, my tweens in timeline will stop to work (or say paused) until I switch back to original tab. That will be a critical problem because I made a music game by GSAP and Web Audio API. When I switch to other tabs, the music will continue playing but the animate won't, which cause the animation and the music are not sync.
I have searched some keywords like [pause, switch tab, timeline, tween] but found nothing. Can someone
Some would call that a "feature"
Keep in mind that most browsers throttle the requestAnimationFrame to 2fps or less in an inactive tab, so that could be the issue especially if you're using the latest version of GSAP (1.12.x) which has the lagSmoothing() feature enabled. Read about it at http://www.greensock.com/gsap-1-12-0-performance/
There are two things you could do:
Force the engine to use setTimeout() instead of requestAnimationFrame so that the "ticks" remain relatively consist
