Thanks for all your feedback. Much appreciated. 

[Greensock performance]

So i am new to front end development, self taught last 6 months, and got a job at a design agency where I was animating perhaps simple things like hamburger menu / overlay menus with gsap and was told that i should be using more css animations for these things for better performance. Does anyone work at a commercial level where they have been using gsap for all animations perhaps except simple hover / button transitions? How do you decide when to use gsap vs css?

Thank you

[window.onload + gsap animation won't play]

Hi

 

I have a landing page animation that i want to start after all the images and files have been downloaded.

 

So... my js file looks like this

 

  window.onload = function() {
  var main = new TimelineMax({paused:true});
  main.set($('.main__content'), {visibility: "visible"})
      .from($('.main__content img'), 0.3, {autoAlpha: 0, scale: 0, ease: Power4.easeOut})
      .staggerFrom($('.main__content h1 span'), 0.3, {autoAlpha: 0, ease: Power4.easeIn}, 0.15, 0)
      .from($('.main__content p'), 0.3, {autoAlpha: 0, ease: Power4.easeOut})
      .from($('.main__content .call-to-action'), 0.3, {autoAlpha: 0, y: 50, ease: Power1.easeOut})
      .from($('.main__social'), 0.3, {autoAlpha: 0, ease: Power4.easeOut})
      .add('headerIn');
  main.play();
  };

and the '.main__content' has visibility : hidden in the css file

 

when the page loads, the main__content remains hidden... and the animation is not seen...

 

Any ideas what could be wrong.

 

If i  remove the gsap code from the window.onload function, it works fine, but i prefer to have the images load first.

 

Many thanks!
