I'm using Greensock animations for a web app I'm developing. On iOS, desktops the scroll animation plays really smooth, there's no problem. On Android browser things get complicated. On some devices it plays good(Nexus 5, Galaxy S4) on others it's choking(Nexus 7) I've tried setting the z property(TweenLite.set(element, {z:0.1}) , using x, y instead of top, left but nothing changed. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to speed up GSAP on android browser. Any help is appreciated. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4605534/examples/ztyga_gsap_test/index.html

Working on some small animated banners. Just wondering what the optimal GSAP setup might be in terms of balancing a decent animation feature set and the overall size of the files output. I've looked around a bit, but there doesn't seem to be much practical advice. Ideas?

Hey all. Not sure if this sort of post is welcome here, but I made a video summarizing some of my accumulated wisdom during my time using Greensock. It's mainly focused on HTML5 game developers that want to use the DOM. I believe I have achieved very good results using Greensock and it seems there are not many pushing the envelope in this area. For example, as of late my game now runs very smoothly even on mobile devices like the iPad2 and the Kindle Fire HDX. In fact at this time I am continuing to optimize the animations further so it is exciting to see what Greensock's full potential will be.

Hi, i have flash banners for adwords , with greensock scripts. (Its posible topublish it only with as3.) Adwords know how to convert AS2 to HTML5 for mobile ads, but not AS3. Is there any solution to convert/publish/ ... it as AS2 , or adwords-html5 compatible way ? Hope for comunity Thanks , bye

I'm trying to come up with some aprox. file size numbers for a client on an estimation for a banner ad. So if I use GreenSock it would be: TweenLite.min.js = 26 KB EasePack.min.js = 5 KB CSSPlugin.min.js = 35 KB That's the bare minimum I would need right?

Hello to all, As some devs fail to make FabricJS work properly with CreateJS suite, and as there is no clean alternative righ now, do you plan to port TransforManager into HTML5/JS world ?

Hi again. I've started a beginner tutorial series for people looking to get started with HTML5 game development using jQuery and GSAP. Thought I'd link here for those who might be interested. I hope this is relevant, if not, feel free to moderate. The series will cover prototyping with JSBIN (substitute codepen, jsfiddle), animation (GSAP of course), basic collision detection and added particle effects with canvas. Part 1 covering prototyping and animation is fresh of the press and working on the collision detection next. Thanks, Andrew

Hi all! I need help with this, I have tested in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE9+ and works magically. But when I tested in IE8 specifically, the animation breaks. I have tried everything I could came up with but I'm stocked. Demo Link: http://theoremcreations.com/undertone/16002/ss/demo/ CodePen Link: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/lnIHg Animation_Demo.zip

Hello guys, I am not sure if I am asking in the right place. I wanted to know if GreenSock is the right plugin to do what apple is doing like the attached reference. http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/ I am able to play forward with pauses but not in reverse with pauses. However, if I am right at the end of the video I can play in reverse all the way. We tried this using a .mov with h264 compression. Is it because it is a streaming format? How is apple doing this? Thanks all.

Hello, One of my blog readers recently asked me about this animation and how we could achieve this without flash. http://www.theguardian.com/uk/interactive/2011/sep/05/england-riots-timeline-interactive?CMP=twt_gu I have a gut feeling that this can be done with GSAP, but haven't really put anything into action yet. How do you think it could be done? Would you use Canvas or simple HTML5? Would some CSS3 be needed or we can do everything with GSAP? Let me know what you think.

My apologies for being a bit off topic... On my computer it is very common to see a replacement icon rather than font symbols in FFox. Attached are examples from Codepen and SitePoint. The symbols on both these pages display properly in Chrome and IE. I can't be the only person who has this experience - it probably happens to many of our clients. Any ideas what causes it and how to avoid? Thanks.

Hi everybody, First of all, gratz for the amazing work you've done Jack, Carl and all the community's member who help the development of GreenSock. (and sorry for my bad English). i use TweenMax for 4 years in my projects AS3 in Flash and now i try to convert me to HTML5 with GSAP. I want to be able to convert all the work ive done for these 4 years in HTML5 and so ive decided to work with the more complex animation. The matter with this animation is the number of element animated (i join it to the message). I don't intend to declare all the element one by one, in CSS, this will be a wasted time I think. So, ive searched on the web but I found nothing that I can use. I work with Adode Design Premium CS5, so i can't use CreateJS as plugin for Flash and I haven't Edge Animate. I tried Swiffy but It doesn't seems to work. I tried to do something like this in Flash: function createCSS () { for (var i:int=0; i<numChildren-1; i++) { var mc:MovieClip = getChildAt(i) as MovieClip; tabMC[i] = mc; trace ('#'+mc.name+'{'); trace ('position:absolute;'); trace ('x:'+mc.x+';'); trace ('y:'+mc.y+';'); trace ('}'); trace (''); } } wich display a "potential" CSS style-sheets of all the elements but if I want it works, i will have to export each element in SVG with Illustrator with the same name used by Flash, and that also seems to be a wasted time. Is there another solution you see to do this ? I hope Ive been clear, my english is so bad. Thank you in advance for whatever help you can give me. Notice that the animation size is very low (52ko) i want to keep this size as lower as possible, even in HTML5. ps: attached file contains the .fla ATRT_anim01.zip

Hey guys, I wanted to find out whether there are any other animation apps for html5 that uses a timeline other than Adobe Edge, that I could check out? Animating using GSAP is great, but sometimes I like to have things on a stage to manipulate and test to see how things should be moving, before jumping in to the code. Or say your business director wants something by the end of the day to show his client, and you quickly want to prototype something. What are your workflows like?

I'm getting an actionscript error on the console but i'm doing an HTML5 simple javascript tween.to. screenshot of error attached. see all files in action here-> http://polklein.com/gs

Hello everyone, I have just launched a new website: http://html5maker.com It exports frame-based animations using TweenMax library. Currently only Move and Fade effects are supported but I plan to add more effects in future. Here are some templates that were done using html5maker. Waiting for your feedback and feature requests! Thanks!

Hello, I'm starting to go nuts about this little animation I got going on with your very cool platform. This is what I want to happen (storyboard): #color_circle_1 (fadein) -> #color_circle_2 (fadein) -> #color_circle_3 (fadein) -> #color_circle_4 (fadein) -> Menu (slide down) -> #color_container (moves down and gets a smaller height). And then comes my problem. The #color_container does as wanted to, but the #color_circle_(1-4) moves down with it, but I want them to stay in the same position and not move with the Container. Does anyone have any ideas of how I could fix this tiny problem? I tried out several things, but I keep up getting the same animation. That the #color_circle_(1-4) keeps moving down with the Container moving down. So in basics I want colored circles to stay at their position while the Container animates smaller. HTML: <body> <header> <nav> <ul id="menu"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About Me</a></li> <li><a href="#">Process</a></li> <li><a href="#">Cases</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav> </header> <div id="white_circle_1" class="white"></div> <div id="white_circle_2" class="white"></div> <div id="white_circle_3" class="white"></div> <div id="white_circle_4" class="white"></div> <div id="color_container"> <div id="color_circle_1"></div> <div id="color_circle_2"></div> <div id="color_circle_3"></div> <div id="color_circle_4"></div> </div> CSS: * { margin:0; padding:0; border:0; } body { background: #edf4fa url(images/head_bg.png) no-repeat top center fixed; background-size: 100%; width: 100%; height: 100%; } li { list-style: none; } #color_container { width: 550px; position: absolute; left: 50%; ; overflow: hidden; } #color_circle_1, #color_circle_2, #color_circle_3, #color_circle_4 { position: absolute; left: 50%; border-radius: 400px; } #color_circle_1 { width: 250px; height: 250px; ; background: rgba(228,37,140,.7); top: 150px; z-index: 1; } #color_circle_2 { width: 350px; height: 350px; ; background: rgba(105,59,255,.5); top: 100px; z-index: 2; } #color_circle_3 { width: 450px; height: 450px; ; background: rgba(167,20,72,.5); top: 50px; z-index: 1; } #color_circle_4 { width: 550px; height: 550px; ; background: rgba(22,144,195,.5); top: 0px; z-index: 3; } #white_circle_1 { width: 250px; height: 250px; position: absolute; top: 300px; left: 50%; ; border-radius: 200px; } #white_circle_2 { width: 350px; height: 350px; position: absolute; top: 250px; left: 50%; ; border-radius: 200px; } #white_circle_3 { width: 450px; height: 450px; position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 50%; ; border-radius: 300px; } #white_circle_4 { width: 550px; height: 550px; position: absolute; top: 150px; left: 50%; ; border-radius: 400px; } .white { background: rgba(255,255,255,.5); } header { width: 100%; height: 120px; background: rgba(255,255,255,.8); display: block; position: absolute; top: 20px; } nav { left: 30%; } nav ul#menu { display: block; } nav ul#menu li { display: inline-block; } nav ul#menu li a { font-family: 'NexaBold'; } Script: <script type="text/javascript" src="js/TweenMax.min.js"></script> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"><\/script>')</script> <script src="js/jquery.lettering-0.6.1.min.js"></script> <script src="js/jquery.superscrollorama.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $('body').css('visibility','visible'); // TimelineLite for title animation, then start up superscrollorama when complete (new TimelineLite({onComplete:initScrollAnimations})) .from( $('#white_circle_1'), 0, {css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('#white_circle_2'), 0, {css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('#white_circle_3'), 0, {css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('#white_circle_4'), 0, {css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('#color_circle_1'), 1, {delay: .8, css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('#color_circle_2'), 1, {css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('#color_circle_3'), 1, {css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('#color_circle_4'), 1, {css:{opacity:'0'}}) .from( $('header'), 1, {css:{top: '-300px'}, ease:Sine.easeIn}) .fromTo( $('#color_container'), 1, {css:{top:'150px', height: '550px'}, collapsible: true, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '250px', height: '240px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_1'), 0, {css:{top: '150px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '50px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_2'), 0, {css:{top: '100px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '0px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_3'), 0, {css:{top: '50px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '-50px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_4'), 0, {css:{top: '0px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '-100px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) function initScrollAnimations() { $('#content-wrapper').css('display','block'); var controller = $.superscrollorama(); } }); </script> As you can see I also tried out where I wanted to run the animation at the same time, but I simply don't know how to do that (I'm still a bit new to it all). Otherwise if I could run these 5 lines to animate at the same time then I think it could fix the problem, but only a noobish idea of mine: .fromTo( $('#color_container'), 1, {css:{top:'150px', height: '550px'}, collapsible: true, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '250px', height: '240px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_1'), 0, {css:{top: '150px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '50px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_2'), 0, {css:{top: '100px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '0px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_3'), 0, {css:{top: '50px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '-50px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) //.fromTo( $('#color_circle_4'), 0, {css:{top: '0px'}, immediateRender:true, ease:Sine.easeInOut}, {css:{top: '-100px'}, ease:Sine.easeInOut}) Any suggestions because I could really use some, thanks. //Morten

Hello again, I'm now moving on to the menu. How do I setup the menu (styled it etc..), so what I want is that once you click on a menubutton it auto scrolls down to that page/section. And my question is. How do I do that? Because when I look at the demo of this I don't see any demo with an actual functioning menu. There is a lot about effects and animations, but nothing in it about how to make all of that work with a navigation also. Does anyone got some kind of tutorial on 'How to make a menu that scroll to page/section'? Maybe there is a tutorial somewhere that I have missed?

A simple yet fun game made with TweenMax as an animation engine. Developed under 8 hours due to GSAP fast coding techniques. Feel free to post high-scores and bugs here or in my blog! Happy egg-hunting!

I've been looking for a better way to code and animate Accordian's to unleash some creativity. I've been playing around with GSAP a lot lately trying to do some of the cool animation effects I have liked in flash using GS), and making them browser compatible. I thought of a cool way to do accordians that you have total visual control over. All of the other JavaScript one's or the SPRY assets that I have used in the past, have been very confusing and not very graphically customizable -as well as not very browser friendly. This is my start of one that I feel can go just about anywhere, in any direction (including diagonal) thanks to Mr. Green. I used super simple CSS. I added in an alpha change because the objects inside of the div would stay visible and cover stuff, but there is probably a much better way to do it. Here is the start of the simple code I came up with so far, let me know what you think: <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> .containers { /* [disabled]margin: 10px; */ /* [disabled]float: left; */ height: 507px; width: 421px; position: absolute; background-color: #0F0; display: inline-table; white-space: normal; } .boxes { background-color: #FFF; float: left; height: 50px; width: 400px; position: relative; margin-right: auto; margin-left: 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="containers"> <div class="boxes" id="a"> <div align="center">a</div> </div> <div class="boxes" id="a1"> <div align="center">a-1</div> </div> <div class="boxes" id="b"> <div align="center">b</div> </div> <div class="boxes" id="b1"> <div align="center">b-1</div> </div> <div class="boxes" id="c"> <div align="center">c</div> </div> <div class="boxes" id="c1"> <div align="center">c-1</div> </div> </div> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/greensock/minified/plugins/CSSPlugin.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/greensock/minified/easing/EasePack.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/greensock/minified/TweenLite.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/greensock/minified/plugins/CSSPlugin.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/greensock/minified/plugins/CSSRulePlugin.min.js"></script> <!--start events--> <script> $(document).ready(function () { TweenLite.to(a1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(b1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(c1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); }); $("#a").click(function() { TweenLite.to(a1, 1, {css:{height:50, alpha:1}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(b1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(c1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); }); $("#b").click(function() { TweenLite.to(a1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(b1, 1, {css:{height:50, alpha:1}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(c1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); }); $("#c").click(function() { TweenLite.to(a1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(b1, 1, {css:{height:0, alpha:0}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); TweenLite.to(c1, 1, {css:{height:50, alpha:1}, ease:Cubic.easeOut}); }); </script> </body> </html>

Hello, I love your products and everything Greensock stands for. Your products are top-notch, and the customer service is as good as the Kinko's customer service is bad. GreenSock customer service is like "Bizzaro Kinko's Customer Service." In other works: GreenSock - "Totes Awesome Sauce" Kinko's - "The Hangover 2 & Indiana Jones 4, kind of awful" I am trying to come up with the most efficient and "zazzy-licious" way to put in the background of one of my website page, the scrolling code that you see on computer screens in the background of movies and tv shows. I'm not sure if I want just pure binary (1's and 0's) or letters and numbers. I figured that I would find about 500 ka-trillion Google results showing different ways of doing this in various languages, but alas, I didn't really find much of anything. I'm using the Greensock Javascript libraries (v.12) and the latest version of Raphael.Js. I don't really need anyone to show me how to do this, by providing a working example (at least, not yet). I'm really looking for a broad outline of the steps I would need to take to accomplish this task in the most code efficient and least taxing burden on the browser way possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sweet J

Hi Jack, For years I looked at this in .as and never dove in, but now in just signed up corporate just so I can use .js version (not interested in flash no more). I need help w/ cubic css3 transform, possibly some consulting for the ticket. When I say cubic, here is an example: <click cubic> http://moobilejs.com/demos/latest/moobile-simulator/index.html He does this w/ very complex css3 and I can't follow, and he does it for the entire page and I just need the form to 'cubic'. Here is his css3: https://github.com/jpdery/moobile-core/tree/master/Styles Can I get some help to get a simple version that just does a 'cubic' of a form? So I can go next, next, next for 15 steps on mobile. thx, Vic
