I have built a single page app using jQuery .load() to read the url and fetch the according html snipped which contains the SVG's (which are pretty large).
Once the html has been loaded onto the page I am calling a init() function which starts my MainTimeline for each page.
function init(){
console.log('self service init');MainTL.add(IconIntro(),'intro-icon').add(DataFlow(),'intro-icon+=4')}
Here I have added a couple timelines to MainTimeline. When I am leaving the page I kill() all the active timelines so they are no longer playing with a killTL() function.
function killTL(){MainTL.kill();var timelines =[iconIntroTL, dataFlowTL];for(var i =0; i < timelines.length; i++){
clearProps(timelines[i]);}}
The pages load very quickly on first load, but the problem arises when switching back to a page that has already been loaded once. There is a long delay between the loading of the html/init function and then the playing of the animation.
The demo is scaled back quite a bit, but there are more pages and timelines that are being added and the delay is about 5 seconds each time. I cannot figure out whats going on as I have tried many combinations of .pause(), restart(), kill() ect.. Is greensock just taking along time to parse the html that was loaded from a ajax call?
