Alright Guys, I have a little challenge / question for you. I really want to be able to get SVG path d attribute data into a format that BezierPlugin can use. So given this string M0,0c0,0,14,184,157,184V86h173c0,0,105-3,105,93, I'd want either an array of all the x/y values of all the anchor and control points like [0,0,0,0,14,184,157,184,157,184,157,86,157,86,157,86,330,86,330,86,330,86,435,83,435,179] or an array of point objects (which ultimately would get passed to BezierPlugin) [{x:0, y:0},{x:0, y:0},{x:14, y:184},{x:157, y:184},{x:157, y:184},{x:157, y:86},{x:157, y:86},{x:157, y:86},{x:330, y:86},{x:330, y:86},{x:330, y:86},{x:435, y:83},{x:435, y:179}] The end goal is draw a continuous path in Illustrator, smack svg output into an html page, use the svg path for a Bezier tween. This video explains all this in glorious detail: Does raphael, or snapSVG or any other library offer a convenient conversion method? It seems that since the same curves can be represented each way it should be easy to convert 1 format to the other, right? I'm not looking to have a robust tool built that analyzes svgs and builds animations automatically, just a function that I can do convertPath(dPath) { ... //turn dPath string into an Array of anchor and control points return BezierPointData } //usage var bezierAnchorAndControlPoints = convertPath("M0,0c0,0,14,184,157,184V86h173c0,0,105-3,105,93"); Any help is greatly appreciated. Carl p.s: This mission was greatly inspired by Chris Gannon's DrawScript converter: http://gannon.tv/drawscript-to-gsap/ and I'd like to publicly thank Rodrigo for helping me get a good leap into Raphael.

I'm new to green sock, but very well versed in Flash and ActionScript. I cannot for the life of my get an onComplete to work. Here is my code, maybe I have it in the wrong place?: function RedWineBounce04(event:TweenEvent):void { TweenMax.to(mcRedWines, tweenSpeedBounce, {bezier:{type:"quadratic", values:[{x:X_02_RedWines, y:Y_02_RedWines}, {x:(X_02_RedWines+BounceDistance), y:(Y_02_RedWines-BounceDisplacement)}, {x:(X_02_RedWines+125), y:Y_02_RedWines}], ease:Linear.easeNone, onComplete:MadeIt}}); X_02_RedWines = X_02_RedWines + 125; function MadeIt(event:TweenEvent):void { trace("Made It"); } }

I've created a few animations that run simultaneously along a bezier curve and stop at different points along the path by utilizing another Tween to control progress. Everything animates perfectly, but I keep getting the following error in my console: TypeError: a is undefined a._lazy = false; TweenMax.js (line 6097, col 6) Looking into the source it seems that this has something to do with the new "lazy" rendering feature released in 1.12.0 http://greensock.com/gsap-1-12-0 Any ideas as to what's going on here? Here is my code as it pertains to this issue (Only loading the TweenMax.js library): var trajectory_path = [ {x:0,y:0}, {x:0,y:-73.6},{x:-58.2,y:-133.2}, {x:-130,y:-133.2}, {x:-201.8,y:-133.2},{x:-260,y:-73.6}, {x:-260,y:0}, {x:-260,y:76},{x:-189.7,y:133.2}, {x:-117.9,y:133.2}, {x:-27,y:133.2},{x:58,y:51.6}, {x:58,y:-50}, {x:58,y:-151.6},{x:-13.7,y:-218.4}, {x:-100.6,y:-245.9}]; var rockets = $('.rocket'); var full_duration = 20; var full_progress = .9; var contest_progress = 1; // as float percentage rockets.each(function(i,rocket) { // Create tween on bezier curve var progress = parseFloat($(rocket).attr('data-progress')) * full_progress; // Get this from data attribute var duration = full_duration * contest_progress; // This should reflect the contest week and not the trajectory distance var t = TweenMax.to( rocket, full_duration, { bezier:{ type: 'cubic', values: trajectory_path, autoRotate: 90 }, paused:true, ease: Linear.easeNone, } ); // Animate TweenMax.to( t, duration, { progress: progress, ease: Linear.easeNone } ); });

Hi to all! my name is Patrizio, i have a question and hope find here a solution at my problem:) some year past have work to animation along bezier path in flash ... the anim figure a ship navigation. the page is here. now i want make a conversion of site frontend from flash to javascript. from cms data I get a path serie like this : path0= [{x: 530.1 , y: 115.7 }, {x: 538.65 , y: 119.35 }, {x: 536.8 , y: 126.6}, {x: 534.95, y: 133.9}, {x: 521, y: 135.45}]; path1= [{x: 519.9 , y: 135.55 }, {x: 523.1 , y: 144.4 }, {x: 523.6 , y: 154.5}, {x: 524.15, y: 164.65}, {x: 523.1, y: 174.05}]; path2= [{x: 523.25 , y: 174.7 }, {x: 494.9 , y: 179.9 }, {x: 470.8 , y: 240.25}, {x: 446.75, y: 300.6}, {x: 300.15, y: 211.1}]; path3= [{x: 300.15 , y: 210.65 }, {x: 275.55 , y: 215.85 }, {x: 244.25 , y: 225.2}, {x: 212.95, y: 234.55}, {x: 184.05, y: 247.05}]; path4= [{x: 183.05 , y: 247.1 }, {x: 135.45 , y: 246.6 }, {x: 118.1 , y: 252.05}, {x: 100.7, y: 257.55}, {x: 90.5, y: 278.35}]; path5= [{x: 90.7 , y: 278.95 }, {x: 104.6 , y: 268.55 }, {x: 107.55 , y: 265.4}, {x: 110.5, y: 262.3}, {x: 112.1, y: 260.2}]; path6= [{x: 111.4 , y: 261.55 }, {x: 105 , y: 254.25 }, {x: 184.7 , y: 235.8}, {x: 264.45, y: 217.35}, {x: 299.2, y: 211.6}]; path7= [{x: 299.5 , y: 211.65 }, {x: 434.3 , y: 300.05 }, {x: 463.2 , y: 247.75}, {x: 492.1, y: 195.5}, {x: 522.6, y: 174.7}]; path8= [{x: 522.3 , y: 174.75 }, {x: 534.6 , y: 165.4 }, {x: 539.15 , y: 144.3}, {x: 543.7, y: 123.25}, {x: 529.25, y: 115.95}]; In this forum i have find some example but not respond exactly how flash in the original work. maybe i'm wrong what's the optimal method for draw the bezier path like progressive animation drawing ??? someone can suggest me the right way ? sorry my poor english tnxxxx

How can I generate complex bezier curve points that follow a graphical path? I have tested the BezierPlugin demo SWF and it will work great for my project but I'm stuck calculating the points that match the image provided by the designer. I need to animate a div with an image background that tracks the graphical path. Will Photoshop, Illustrator, or Flash calculate the points from a graphic that can be used? Is there are third party tool? Attached is a graphical example for reference. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, Is it possible to use Bezier and transformAroundCenter plugins simultaneously?

Hi, As shown in the codepen, the issue I'm having is that whenever I finish dragging the object, the Bezier tween of that object stops, as both the Draggable and beziertween use Translate3D. While experimenting, I found that only x,y properties on both provide smooth animation and are not breaking the position of elements. Using margins or top/left positions renders bezier animation to be choppy, while using those types for Draggable causes the elements to be thrown off their initial positions. You can see the full-scale animation I'm working on at http://patmir.com. Using onDragEnd to re-initialize the bezier tweens returns the objects to their initial positions, which I want to avoid. The question is: What would be an appropriate solution here? I'd rather avoid having to re-initialize tweens and modyfing the tweens to use current position of elements, as it might decrease the site's performance significantly. Using different types for Daggable won't work, as the elements are positioned on top/left based on % and calc(). I would appreciate any insight into what I'm doing wrong here, With Best Regards, Patryk

Hi, im working in this Bezier animation: TweenMax.to(myFish, 5, {bezier:{curviness:2.1, values:[{x:0, y:-100},{x:150, y:-200},{x:0, y:-400},{x:-100, y:-500},{x:0, y:-700},{x:0, y:-900}],autoRotate:["x","y","rotation",90,false]}, ease:Power1.easeInOut}); What i want to do is the next: I'm trying to simulate a fish swimming, everything is ok, but when the user do "touchstart" on the fish, this action will kill the tween but also I want to make this draggable, so I'm not sure if this could be, because I suppose I need the current position (top,left) to start the drag stuff. so.. any ideas? thanks a lot. I'm thinking.. $myContainer.append(target); Draggable.create(target,{ type:"top,left", bounds: $myContainer }); var tween = TweenMax.to(target, 10, {bezier:{curviness:2.1, values:[{x:0, y:-100},{x:150, y:-200},{x:0, y:-400},{x:-100, y:-500},{x:0, y:-700},{x:0, y:-900}],autoRotate:["x","y","rotation",90,false]}, ease:Power1.easeInOut}); target.on("touchstart", function() { tween.kill(); //then start dragging });

Note: This plugin was replaced with MotionPathPlugin in GSAP 3. Please see the GSAP 3 release notes for details. Animate virtually any property (or properties) along a curved Bezier path which you define as an array of points/values that can be interpreted 4 different ways (described as the Bezier's "type", like type:"soft"? "thru" (the default) - the plugin figures out how to draw the Bezier naturally through the supplied values using a proprietary algorithm. The values you provide in the array are essentially treated as anchors on the Bezier and the plugin calculates the control points. The target's current/starting values are used as the initial anchor. You can define a curviness special property that allows you to adjust the tension on the Bezier where 0 has no curviness (straight lines), 1 is normal curviness, 2 is twice the normal curviness, etc. Since "thru" is the default Bezier type, you don't need to define a type at all if this is the one you want. "soft" - the values that you provide in the array act almost like magnets that attract the curve towards them, but the Bezier doesn't typically travel through them. They are treated as control points on a Quadratic Bezier and the plugin creates the necessary intermediate anchors. The target's current/starting values are used as the initial anchor. "quadratic" - allows you to define standard Quadratic Bezier data (Quadratic Beziers have 1 control point between each anchor). The array should start with the first anchor, then control point, then anchor, control point, etc. for as many iterations as you want, but obviously make sure that it starts and ends with anchors. "cubic" - allows you to define standard Cubic Bezier data (Cubic Beziers have 2 control points between each anchor). The array should start with the first anchor, then 2 control points, then anchor, 2 control points, anchor, etc. for as many iterations as you want, but obviously make sure that it starts and ends with anchors. For full details please consult the BezierPlugin documentation. -
Hi All, A rather strange situation: several tweens of the same object are added to a timeline to be played in a cubic bezier format. This objects is then dragged via Draggable. Then, in the 'onDragEnd' event the timeline to which the object had been added to is played starting from 0. I set a breakpoint after calling the play() function, and then make a call to TweenMax.getAllTweens(). The first time the object is dragged I see all the tweens that should have been on the timeline. However, after the 'onDragEnd' function ends, the browser steps into the code inside Draggable.min.js which continues on, and then if I make another call to TweenMax.getAllTweens() (while still in Draggable.min.js) then the tweens that were dragged no longer exist. What is no less odd is that if I drag the object again, play() is called again and works as if the tweens had not been removed, yet still TweenMax.getAllTweens() returns a list without the instances that had been dragged... Despite the fact that the removal of the tween happend inside Draggable.min.js, if I remove the call to the play() function from the 'onDragEnd' event handler, no tweens are removed... any clues?... Thanks ! Elior

Hi, First I want to say how impressed I am from GASP! My question is: How can I make a cubic bezier type rotate? In this codepen an object is animated on a bezier cubic path, where each leg of the path has it's own time length, color and size, but I cannot find a way to set the rotation. How can I do that?... I need a cubic type because I want a different timing for each leg, so I must first create the entire path via bezierThrough() and then animate each leg separately. Thanks, Elior.

I have a problem tweening and using progress on a bezier curve http://codepen.io/DuncanBudapest/pen/pxdgF I hope the codepen makes the situation clear. In the code the object 'steps' around the curve. As I understand progress represents the complete tween so any position can be represented by 0 to 1. In my example my total progress is 0.5 but the object tweens to 75% of the track. In the complete code there are multiple objects and there is some degree of control using the timeline. I've stripped the code down to make it easier to understand.

Hi, I urgently need a way to draw say dots along an entire path of a TimelineMax. The path does not need to animate. It just needs to be drawn initially. Can anyone point me in the right direction? ANy help appreciated. Sample timeline: //create timeline self.llnTimeline = new TimelineMax({ delay: 1, smoothChildTiming: true, timeResolution: 0, onUpdate: function() { } }); self.llnTimeline.seek(0); self.llnTimeline.add(TweenMax.to(self.llnPlane, 12, { left: 359, top: 998, ease: Linear.easeNone }), 0); // 1 self.llnTimeline.add(TweenMax.to(self.llnPlane, 12, { ease: Linear.easeNone, css: { bezier: { autoRotate: true, type: "thru", values: [{ left: 338, top: 1099 }, { left: 257, top: 1114 }, { left: 47, top: 945 }, ] } } }), 12); // 2 self.llnTimeline.add(TweenMax.to(self.llnPlane, 22, { ease: Linear.easeIn, css: { bezier: { autoRotate: true, type: "thru", values: [{ left: 27, top: 836 }, { left: 304, top: -573 }, { left: 379, top: -1045 }, ] } } }), 20); -
I have an animation that uses the bezier plugin and the autoRotate function within it. After updating to the latest version of GSAP the rotation is no longer occurring, causing the animated element to look unnatural. I haven't run any significant tests as I am pressed for time with other projects but I was just wondering if there is a quick fix on my end. I know there were some updates to how rotation is handled in the latest update and if there is anything I need to do to update my code any assistance would be appreciated. Here is he snippet that makes the path and rotation: {bezier:{type:"soft", curviness:1.25, values:[{x:0, y:-200}, {x:300, y:-400}, {x:800, y:-200}, {x:1010, y:-300}], autoRotate:["x","y","rotation",1.5,true]} I can't provide the link to the source since it's a closed production environment but if it helps I can create a test page somewhere when I get some time. Thanks.

I just started to get into using the TweenMax JS animation library, and I have to say that it is pretty sweet. I've gone through and started doing test, and such, and tested the bezier plugin ,which is pretty awesome in itself. My question with the bezier plugin is whether or not it would handle responsive design, such as when the user rescales down their browser window? Currently I have this tween, that is set to animate when the item comes into view. var atween = TweenMax.to('.arrow-test', 2, { bezier:[ {left:100, top:250, alpha: 0}, {left:300, top:0, alpha: 0.5}, {left:500, top:400, alpha:1} ], ease:Power1.easeInOut, paused: true }); My CSS is as follows: .arrow-test-wrapper { position: relative; } .arrow-test { position: relative; top: 0; left: 0; } Does animating on bezier curves support responsive design? Or is there something that I am missing in my code? Thanks!

Hi folks, I'm having trouble with BezierPlugin, i've done a motion where i caught a bunch of blocks and tween all of then through different paths. When i'm tweening from left to right, everything works fine, but when i try to tween those blocks from right to left the autoRotate doesn't work. I'm not posting yet any example code just to see if anyone already had this problem and knows how to solve it. Anyway i will do a sample in codepen asap. That was fast, i've remembered a example that i saw at codepen and i've used it to reproduce the problem. Check it out, http://cdpn.io/zyxlb Thank you.

i am wondering if it is possible to use the BezierPlugin to create a curve that not only goes through a series of points, but will hit each of them at a defined amount of the way through the tween? using an array something like this: var tracker1Positions= [ {x:13.3, y:19.5, progress:0}, {x:14.8, y:19.0, progress:0.1}, {x:16.8, y:18.3, progress:0.7}, {x:19.0, y:17.9, progress:0.75}, {x:21.0, y:13.3, progress:1}, ]; my end goal here, is that i have a video that will have a some dom elements following certain items in the video, and i think a bezier curve would make a much smoother way to simulate tracking than just straight tweens. thank you.

Hello, I've got an animation of some objects looping through a bezier using the BezierPlugin. I want to fire a function to make the objects stop with an ease, wherever they are but along the bezier curve. Imagine a racetrack and there's suddenly a red flag, all the cars need to come to a halt all of a sudden. How would I go about that? I tried overwriting the tween but it just stops. Another question as well on how the bezier the plugin draws, how can I make it not start drawing the bezier from x:0 y:0. Say I want it to start on the middle of the stage instead. Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering if there is any help out there to create a metaball effect with two 2D circles. I am using Raphael to create the 2D shapes. Is this something that needs to be done within Raphael? The effect I am going for is that there are a bunch of indicators moving vertically down a line at varying speeds. When they get close enough, I would like to animate them with a metaball effect so that the circles merge together and a number is displayed to show how many are in the cluster. Is there any help out there to construct something like this? The bezier plugin only does tweening "along a bezier path," if I am not mistaken - it won't do a shape tween using beziers?

Hi, is there any way to animate along SVG paths already? If not, can you recommend any tool that helps me get the bezier data from SVG, illustrator (or other) paths, so I can use them with GSAP? Thanks in advance
-
First of all I would like to thank you for creating GSAP for JS its simply Amazing! I was checking out : http://www.greensock.com/customease/ and thought it would be amazing to be able to do something like that in JS/HTML5, so I thought I'll ask. Mate it may sound a little off-topic but is there a way to maybe draw such a bezier curve in HTML5/Javascript? I want to ask a a animate an object along the bezier path. Is it possible to maybe do something like this, where user can edit the bezier curve? I hope I make sense, please pardon me if I don't as I am pretty new to JS/jQuery. Looking forward to hearing about it. Thanks in advance. Praney

Hello, I've an animation of 52 elements over a curve (a circle) using bezier. Elements come from a certain point and join the circle, 26 in one half of the circle, 26 in the other. autoRotate is set to true. Elements are rectangular. All 52 are clickable. After clicking any of the 52 they are moved to a different location. Problem is they preserve the angle of rotation they got following the curve. Question is how get the current angle of rotation in order to do the math and rotate to recover the initial angle (before going into the circle). Found here in the forums a solution but is not working: TweenMax.to(document.getElementById(identifier),0.5,{css:{top:"10px", left:"10px"}, ease:Power2.easeOut}); var transform = $("#card32")._gsTransform; var x = transform.x; var rotation = transform.rotationX; console.log(rotation); All I get is : Cannot read property 'x' of undefined Your help will be appreciated.
-
Hi I'm wondering why the autoRotate is not kicking in, when I use left and top values instead of x and y. The thing is, that with left and top I can absolutely define the position while with x and y I always have to calculate the offset to the next point. I've read somewhere in the Forum that there "was a regression in a recent version of BezierPlugin that caused autoRotate not to work properly". But I'm using the latest Version. Can you please have a look in my test.zip and tell me what I did wrong? Indyaner test.zip

Could someone help me to create a bezier animation like this I tried with this: TweenMax.to(moon, 10, {bezier:{type:"soft", values:[{x:100, y:100}, {x:200, y:100}, {x:100, y:311}], autoRotate:true}}); But: - I cannot adjust the path identically - I tried with plugin-explorer - there is no js code, just as. I tried that code - without success - The moon needs to be scaling 200% from start to the end point - z-index should be higher at the and. - How to adjust the pause between two sessions ? Any help, pls.

Hi. I'm a Flash guy that's been dabbling in HTML5/Javascript stuff off and on for about a year now. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: Eight circles of different colors animating in to form a ring (using a bezier curve) with the bottom circles overlapping the top ones (seen in circles.png) Once animated in to position, clicking on one of the circles will animate them until the clicked circle is at the bottom. The layers/zIndex will distribute correctly to match the original layout. I'm using TweenMax right now to animate the intro and it works pretty well. However, I'm using setTimeout to stop the animations so they stop when they get to the "correct" position to form the ring. This is a little finicky, as they will stop in slightly different positions each time. This leads to my first question: is there a better way stop the animations so the circles stop evenly along the ring? The other part of this is how I'm going about it. Eventually I'll want the animations to go back and forth simultaneously when you click a circle and i'm wondering: will this be done easily using functions of TweenMax like reverse or will TimelineMax be better for this situation? One last question... Here is some of my code: TweenMax.to( circleArr[0], .5, { css:{ zIndex:0, bezier:{ curviness:1.5, values:[ {left:100, top:100}, {left:75, top:75}, {left:100, top:50} ] } }, ease:Linear.easeInOut } ); I use the bezier line a few times and I'm wondering if I can simplify it by doing something like: var bez1 = BezierPlugin.bezierThrough([{left:100, top:100}, {left:75, top:75}, {left:100, top:50}], 1.5); TweenMax.to( circleArr[0], .5, { css:{ zIndex:0, bezier:bez1 }, ease:Linear.easeInOut } ); I'm submitting a zip file with my work so far. Let me know if you have any suggestions or questions about what I'm trying to do. Thanks! Test.zip
