  1. Oops, yeah I just discovered that the target DID NOT exist so it's on me. =P my bad but thanks!

    However, about the "alpha" vs "opacity" situation... yes, you are right about me coming from the Flash world 150 thousand years ago but... "opacity" is a long word... like "duration"... while I respect (and will eventually comply) with your language choices, I like short words. I am sure there are tons of arguments for why opacity (the css term) or duration ("time" probably has a conflict in gsap world but I like putting "duration" as a number in the 2nd arg.) etc.

    Here's an example (showing my Flash beginnings). I wrote this because console.log was just too many letters for me and only takes one argument. This is specifically designed for chrome and doesn't work in Safari:

     

    function trace(){
        // TO BE COMMENTED OUT ON UPLOAD
        var traceStr = '';
        for(var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++){
            if(arguments[i] === undefined || arguments[i] === null) traceStr += arguments[i];
            else traceStr += arguments[i].toString();
            if(i < arguments.length - 1) traceStr += ', ';
        }
        if(new Error().stack !== undefined){
            var lineNum = ((new Error()).stack.split('\n')[2]).split('/').pop().split(')')[0];
            traceStr += '   <' + lineNum +'>';
        }
        console.log("%c"+traceStr, "background:black; color: white");
    }

  2. Anyone know why I'd get an error for using code as seemingly innocuous as this?

        gsap.set(navbar, {alpha:0});

    I'm getting: "Invalid property alpha set to 0 Missing plugin? gsap.registerPlugin()"

    I did not think that was part of a special plugin set, what plugin would that be?

     

    Thanks!

  3. Hey there rets85,

     

    I've been building ad banners for over a decade and it still butters my bread. You can see all my work on my now outdated website when you like: mediagarbage.com - just go to the portfolio and click on any of the ad tiles there you can see my work. I am fast, easy to communicate with, I use native methods and not plugins, and I am familiar with all the different media serving platforms like Doubleclick Studio and Sizmek etc. I currently handle all of the digital display work for Sotheby's International Realty globally as well as all of PBS programming domestically and in England. I really like the work you showed as an example and would be interested to take that project on. I already know pretty much how I would tackle it. I will email you directly about my quote. Thank you!

  4. Thanks for getting back to me, Jack. Actually the mask is rendering fine but I can't move the mask as I would like from JS. I want to put up a Codepen but right now I am under the gun for EOD so I'll have to approach this later tonight or sometime next week. Thanks for getting back to me though - I will post asap.

  5. Hey all,

     

    I've been messing with masking to get a shine effect on buttons when mouseover takes place but I can't seem to get GSAP to affect "-webkit-mask-position".

    I want to give up a code pen but that wold require a bunch of time which I don't have tonight. Just wondering if anyone has successfully used this before.

     

    Thanks!

  6. OK, yeah that's sensible. I will echo the sentiment that a .get() type of method for that kind of stuff would be nice. Maybe width is not in the transform but I set it and change it all the time through GSAP so a getter prop would be quite helpful! Thank you for all that you guys do!

  7. Hey Carl,

     

    Thank you very much for the help! I figured it was a targeting issue but I was getting some response, just not the proper one. And it's my pleasure keeping your awesome work secure - you guys make a great product, are always right there for me when I have issues, and I have always and continue to recommend GSAP to my friends and colleagues. Keep up the good work and you will keep getting my money ;)

  8. Hey all,

     

    I think I must be overlooking something pretty basic here - would appreciate any help.

     

    I simply want to animate this heart which is broken into 2 strokes, "heartL" and "heartR." I want each stroke to animate 0-100% but I can't seem to get them to work.

    2 Quick notes:

    1. I am adding the SVG from JS because that's what I need to do in my particular case outside this example. 

    2. I don't know how to add drawSVGplugin in codepen bc I only have a local copy and didn't want to put it up somewhere where people could just steal it... 

     

    Thanks for any help you can offer!

  9. I'm just trying to implement my own morph and I keep getting the same error:


    "invalid morphSVG tween value"


     

    Can someone tell me what I am missing or overlooking? This is someone else's code mostly but I'm trying morph for the first time.. just can't get it to work.

     

    Thanks!
