Had a chance to look at this and more important, play with it!

Not too shabby, huh?

Nice work! I noticed a couple improvements you could make. 

 

Don't a create a new animation for your hover events. Create the animation once, and toggle the playback direction in the handlers.

 

You're timeline is calling updateCube on every frame, recalculating the screen size and creating a new tween around 60 times a second. That would be fine if the screen size was actually changing on every frame, but it isn't, so you're making the browser do a lot of unnecessary calculations and object creation. You should only call your update function when the screen resizes. Even better, throttle the resize calls to an animation frame request.

This is great!! Thank you vEry much.

This answers a lot of the questions I had been forming whilst working on these two little diddies.

Is a bit more flash-like than I had thought.

Got a few domestic errands to run today, but will be checking this out when I get back. 

Thanks again. 

See'ya next post

There...Got another little practice piece of work done.

Doesn't fit just right, prolly cause I drew the shapes in on the fly, here.

 

Have a look.

Thanks Dipscom. I feel pretty good about it, as that was me first pen.

I think I'd rather have the real job...lol...

Been spending my time trying to get back up to speed, thus these new exercises.

Took some personal time over the past couple years and now re-learning a few things and learning a few new things.

It's fun and I'm finding out how much I missed doing this kind of work.

There, let's see if I did this codepen thing right as well.

...tried to embed the thing into this post, but I guess that's not something the forum will allow.

Oh well...still got the pen link

Thanks. 

I miss flash... But it's great to know that didn't stop these green socked folks around these parts. ^_~

Added a little mouseover fx just to see how to do it.

Started with the 3D Transform example and made a few adjustments.

I just wanted to see if I could hork up something like the old flash stuff I used to play with.

Hmmm... http://flawlessdog.com/gsapWork/3DCube01/
