Hi I'm a big GSAP newbie here. Im using the angularjs framework and I fetch data from a REST service, also flexbox as a layout grid manager, I have a container div with a loading image inside of it. When the data is loaded I ng-hide the loading image and show the data. But is it possible to animate the containers div height as soon as the data is available? So first the div has the height of the loading image, and afterwards the height of the text data returned from the rest service. I dont know the height untill the data is returned so im kind of puzzled here. Any tips on how to handle this? Grts, Ryan

Hi, I´m still very happy to tween a little. This extreme panorama motif is animated perfectly using background-image and GASP. Please have a look at the exsisting project: http://www.privatstrasse-hamburg.de Pending on the relative width the animation should have a proper fitting "speed". I benefit from several postings of this forum - thanks to all - and came to this way: http://codepen.io/mikeK/pen/jEERNg Is that a proper solution? Best regards Manfred

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to dynamically resize elements that are placed in a responsive bootstrap grid system without the resized element 'pushing' other elements while being resized. Such a grid is simply a set of DIVs which dynamically relocate and resize depending on the size of the viewport, e.g.: example. The main point here is that for the responsive bootstrap grid to work properly the elements' positioning should be set to 'absolute'; however, if I do not set the element's position as 'absolute', when I resize one element, all of it's following DOM siblings are automatically moved. This can be seen as the right thing to happen and as the natural behavior of non-absolute elements, but it leads to a situation where dynamic resizing of elements in a responsive bootstrap grid system affects elements that should remain unaffected. I was wondering if there is a possibility that when one element resizes all other elements, which are positioned as 'relative', will automatically relocate their position so that they remain in the same location as before the resize? In the linked codepen, perhaps it is possible for the red box to resize without moving the blue box downwards when both of them are positioned as 'relative'? This possibility seems necessary for dynamic resizing to work properly when elements need to be positioned in a responsive layout. I will be happy to hear of other possibilities for creating a responsive layout with dynamically resized elements. Thanks very much ! Elior

I've been working with Timeline and divs of a 50% width to adjust for window resize. The problem I've encounters is that if you plan on reversing a timeline, it does not recognize that you have resized your divs. I didn't have a good way of showing this in code pen, but this is the site I'm working on: http://heroicdreams.com/test/#servicesportfolio The two divs that break are the colored backdrops. After it animates in, resize the window then click any link and you can see how it glitches from the beginning of the animation. It only remembers the previous div position, not the new resized one.

Hi there, i'm working on a responsive website right now and the issue i'm having implementing greensock to it is when the user resizes the window and a few values like height/width of elements don't get updated unless user refreshes the browser. I was wondering if there's a way to update a few variables everytime the user resizes the window? Cheers, Thales

I am attempting to resize a draggable DOM. As in the user can select an edge of the DOM and drag it to a new size. Is this something that GSAP is designed to handle or am I on the wrong track? jQueryUI 'resizable' doesn't really work with a draggable (or I haven't yet been able to get it to work).

Hey Guys, I'm using the Draggable component in a horizontal list view that is responsive. Here's an early prototype http://lab.harrynorthover.com/timeline/. As you can see in the prototype, the content above the draggable component is responsive and will resize down to 640 pixels. The issue I am having is how to scale down the scrubber at the same time. Is there a way to adjust the translate3d values through Draggable so the scrubber scales down at the same pace? I've tried scaling down the width of the scrubber or applying a negative margin left but then the drag amount becomes offset/incorrect. Is there a way to refresh the Draggable component, or scale the values down to it keeps in proportion with the rest of the content? What's the best practice for tackling resizing issues like this with Draggable? Also, is there a way to invert the direction of the dragging? So the timeline moves in the opposite direction? This is an excellent component by the way! Thanks, Harry.

I have a grid of thumbnails (6 columns / 5 rows) that I'm animating on load and resize. On load the columns stagger from left to right into the page. On resize the rows stagger down off the page, and then the columns re-enter from left to right. The number of columns, rows, tn size and position are based on window width and aspect ratio. I'm using autoAlpha to hide/reveal column 6 and row 5. The code/conditions for the rows are working as expected. The problem I'm having is with column 6 on "resize only". 6 cols if window width >1200px 5 cols if window width <= 1200px If 6 cols enter on "load" everything works always as expected. When resizing ww <=1200px, grid exits down, then 5 cols re-enter from left (col 6 hidden). Then if you resize ww >1200px, grid exits down, then 6 cols re-enter from left. Everything works fine no matter how many times the ww is resized. If 5 cols enter on "load" there is a problem with col 6 on "resize". When resizing ww >1200px, grid exits down, then col 6 becomes immediately visible in it's end "x" position (farthest right) and the remaining 5 cols re-enter from left. Column 6 should become visible "but" positioned off the page to left, then stagger in with the other 5 cols. My thinking is the autoAlpha event is firing before being positioned, even though it is called within the positioning function. I have tried putting autoAlpha at the end of a TimelineLite timeline, used a positive position offset, etc, mostly with worse results. I have also tried staggerTo using an x start position -(ww+500). They position and size correctly but for some reason they don't enter into the page using a variable ie: "+=ww+500" but it does work with just a number within the string "+=1400". If I use the staggerTo method I can't use a fixed number if I use a variable for the starting negative offset. If I do use a fixed number that will insure that the grid clears all different window widths ie: -3000px, the entrance speed won't be consistent across different window widths. I've uploaded copies of the files (the tn images have been replaced with solid colored jpgs) http://www.peterdavidian.com/gsap/staggerFrom.html I've searched the JS forums but couldn't find a post with a solution. It's been days now (really almost a week) and I need someones help! Thank you, Peter My functions: dLoad: sizes and positions the grid container tSz: sizes the tn's tPos: sizes and positions the number of cols and rows tEnterR: staggers the cols in from left tExitD: staggers the rows down, then calls tReEnterR tReEnterR: calls tSz and tPos then staggers cols in from left

When I try to resize it, it doesn't show. It works fine like this ------ var loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("livingroomout.swf", {container:this); //Load Swf loader.load(); { ----- but when I try to resize the swf, by adding the height and width properties, it doesn't appear at all ----- var loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("livingroomout.swf", {container:this, width:300, height:300}); //Load Swf loader.load(); { ----- any help? pleasee???? im a noob at this
