I need to use TweenLite due to space limitations in the project (yay!) I suspect the TweenLite isn't working because of the Timeline... not sute really Any suggestions on how to yoyo and repeat with TweenLite? //working TweenMax version function flapWingsMax() { flapTl = new TimelineLite(); var wl = TweenMax.to("#wing_left", 0.1, { scaleY: 0.5, repeat: -1, skewX: 20, transformOrigin:"86px 104px", yoyo: true, onComplete:reverseTween, onReverseComplete:restartTween, ease: Sine.easeInOut }) var wr = TweenMax.to("#wing_right", 0.1, { scaleY: 0.5, skewX: -20, repeat: -1, transformOrigin:"9px 87px", yoyo: true, ease: Sine.easeInOut }) flapTl.add(wl, 0); flapTl.add(wr, 0); } // TweenLite - NOT working function flapWingsLite() { flapTl = new TimelineLite(); var wl = TweenLite.to("#wing_left", 0.1, { scaleY: 0.5, skewX: 20, transformOrigin:"86px 104px", onComplete:reverseTween, onReverseComplete:restartTween, ease: Sine.easeInOut }) var wr = TweenLite.to("#wing_right", 0.1, { scaleY: 0.5, skewX: -20, transformOrigin:"9px 87px", onComplete:reverseTween, onReverseComplete:restartTween, ease: Sine.easeInOut }) flapTl.add(wl, 0); flapTl.add(wr, 0); function reverseTween() { this.reverse(); } function restartTween() { this.restart(); } }

Hi, I am using the scrollToPlugin to scroll text automatically when banner loads. I need the scroll to pause when mouse enters the area and resume when it leaves. I am a newbie that needs help. Like I said the text scrolls automatically when banner loads but when I mouseenter it doesn't pause. Here is a sample of the code that I am using to accomplish my goal. I used a console.log to make sure everything is firing but still the scrolling text doesn't pause on mouse enter. I hope someone can help me understand what I am doing wrong. <script> function init() { box.play(); } var scroll = document.getElementById("box"); var _scrollDuration = 160; var tl = new TimelineMax(); tl.add(TweenLite.delayedCall(.5, startAutoScroll, [box, _scrollDuration])); scroll.addEventListener('mouseenter', function() { console.log('listening'); tl.paused(!tl.paused()); }); scroll.addEventListener('mouseleave', function() { console.log('listening'); tl.paused(!tl.paused()); }); </script>

Hi i'm creating a banner and using gsap to do some particle animation, I need to keep the filesize down so i'm using TweenLite instead of TweenMax One thing that doesent seem to work with TweenLite is pauseAll? Is that correct, or do i need to add a plugin or something? Or, is there alternative way to mimick the TweenMax.pauseAll() with TweenLite Thanks

Hi Ive been struggling to figure this out for about 3 days now. I am creating columns dynamically that are added to a container (when user clicks the add button). Using the draggable plugin I have made them draggable (only horizontally). Everything works fine but what I am stuck with is when a column is dragged and dropped on another then (the dragged column) should be placed either to the left or right of the target column. This is my code thus far. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Draggable.create($element, { // use $element instead of ".column". This is declared at the top ^^^ and refers to this specific instance of 'column' type: "x", edgeResistance: 0.65, throwProps: true, bounds: {left: 0}, lockAxis: true, autoscroll: 1, trigger: $element.find(".drag-handle"),// Use jQueryLite (built in to Angular) to find this column's drag handle onPress: function () { columnList = $(".column:not(#" + $element.attr("id") + ")").toArray(); initialCoords = ($element.css("left")); console.log(initialCoords); }, onDragEnd: function (e) { for(var i = 0; i < columnList.length; i++){ if(this.hitTest(columnList[i], overlapThreshold)) { var jqueryColumn = $(columnList[i]); var objectTwoCoord = jqueryColumn.position(); console.log(jqueryColumn); TweenLite.to(this.target, 0.5, {x: initialCoords }); } } } });

Hello, I have a websocket project I'm working on. When a user joins the site they get a div created for them with an icon as background image. I have a function that runs on DOMContentLoaded that creates fake user divs and wanted to build a timeline of animation moving them around via the X and Y properties in TweenLite. I am really stuck scratching my head - my TimelineMax produces console logs on Update() but nothinggggg moves. I could really appreciate a second pair of eyes! I've distilled the function in question down to a codepen. Thank you in advance! Stephen

Hello, I'm having two issues right now, which I cannot figure out. Issue #1 I have an animation in my CodePen using the first button, and when it finishes it's animation cycle it reverts the cssText back to it's original position. This is for a "preview" animation set up in my software. This will essentially revert back to the original position, so the user can modify their design layers, animation settings, etc, before playing their animation again. However, on the second run of this animation it seems the translated position is not working properly or some sort of caching mechanism is not recognizing the reverted cssText. It gets stuck to the left of the box where it was on exit. To give more details on this, my design software works based off finished designs, and once a design is finished the user can choose to have things enter the screen at different timings (as well as optionally exit after) I provide entrance, exit animations and in this case it rotates in from left, and rotates back out to the left. If you need more clarification, let me know. Issue #2 I'm having an issue with setting up a timeline without automatically playing. I've added the flag "paused: true" in the TimelineMax options, but what this does is begin positions for the element where the TimelineMax.from() defines, rather than keeping the element in it's ending position until we trigger play to run. I use a chained method in my code prepareAnimationTimeline() which should add all the timings, animation tweens together but returns the timeline object back ready to play, while not moving my elements. I use it like this: prepareAnimationTimeline().play() However if I do not call play, with paused: true, it will simply move my elements off screen in their starting positions for my entrance animations. (TimelineMax.from()) Is there any way to achieve what I'm looking for, where I keep elements on the screen and "prepare" my animation timeline in the fashion I mentioned above? Thanks, Justin

Hi there, I'm running into a challenge with Tweenlite from. What I'm doing is having some elements appear on the page when the footer comes into view. The problem is that the Tweenlite to works exactly as I am anticipating. Tweenlite from does not. I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious. The codepen has the FROM version active with the TO commented out. Thank you in advance for your help. Best, Eric

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can help me. I'm putting together an animation of a play button. Everything works fine on mouseenter and mouseleave, but my problem is, the SVG is not rendered on page load. The circle, that is. What I tried: When I removed `.fromTo($circle, .3, {opacity: .5, drawSVG: '100% 100%'}, {opacity: 1, drawSVG: 'true', ease: Expo.EaseOut})` from my timeline, the bug disappeared. For some reason, the drawSVG of 100% 100% seems to be applied to the svg even though the timeline is paused? Timeline.progress has not worked, but clearProps: drawSVG did fix it (although obviously I can't clear the drawSVG on init). Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks! PS. Sorry a codepen isn't included. I don't have a PRO account so I couldnt upload GSAP to it. LMK if you'd still like me to create it if it makes it easier for you to debug. $playButton.each(function (index, elem) { $this = $(this); var $circle = $this.find('#play-icon__circle'); var $caret = $this.find('#play-icon__caret'); TweenMax.set($caret, {transformOrigin:"50% 50%", scale: 1}); TweenMax.set($circle, {opacity: 1, rotation: "-90", transformOrigin:"50% 50%"}); var playButtonTimeline = new TimelineMax({paused: true}); playButtonTimeline .fromTo($circle, .3, {drawSVG: 'true', opacity: 1}, {opacity: .5, drawSVG: '100% 100%', ease: Expo.EaseOut}) .set($circle, {rotationX: -180}) .fromTo($circle, .3, {opacity: .5, drawSVG: '100% 100%'}, {opacity: 1, drawSVG: 'true', ease: Expo.EaseOut}) .to($caret, .2, {scale: .7, ease: Expo.EaseOut}, '-=.4'); $this .mouseenter(function () { if(playButtonTimeline.isActive()){ e.preventDefault(); e.stopImmediatePropagation(); return false; } playButtonTimeline.play(0); }) .mouseleave(function () { if(playButtonTimeline.isActive()){ e.preventDefault(); e.stopImmediatePropagation(); return false; } playButtonTimeline.reverse(0); }); });

I've created a series of animated icons. See in the codepen. on the end of the timeline i have added a tween to ramp the speed up as the timeline progresses. var NUM6Timeline = new TimelineMax(); NUM6Timeline.staggerFrom(".SET6>g", 0.7, { opacity:0,}, 0.15) .from(".top6", 2.4, {x: '-22%', y: '22%', opacity:1, },0.0) .from(".shd6", 6, { opacity:0}, 0) .from(".sticker", 1, {transformOrigin:"50% 50%", scale:0, opacity:0, ease:Back.easeOut },2.2);TweenLite.to(NUM6Timeline, 2.5, {progress:1, ease:Power2.easeIn}); Because the end tweenlite is not part of the timeline when I come to repeat the timeline, i lose the tween light. Could someone help me nest NUM6Timeline in a new timeline so I can include the progress tween. This master timeline I should then be able to loop on my page and included the ramped up animation. Kind regards, Ryan

I'm trying to create a wave smoothing effect, where I morphSVG 2 paths together if you have scrolled passed a certain point. How can I make it animate from the bottom only? http://codepen.io/gizmojo/pen/QGMVLE See the issue here during animating between the 2 paths.

Dear GreenSocks: I created the attached compass and made it spinnable with TweenLite and Draggable. Now I'm stuck: The images on top of the compass need to be clickable (and lead to the same URL) no matter in which position the compass stops after the user rotates it. I have lost hair and sleep over this. Does anybody know if this even possible? (The compass the way it right now is ONE .png image and the little pictures on top are each mapped with coordinates.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even if the help is: Not possible with GreenSock. Thank you so much! ~Dagi

Hi, I have a question about looping and delaying some elements. In the codepen link I provided will be an example of what I want to achieve. The problem is that I don't know how to loop the code... If I paste the code 16 times it will work for all of the rectangles. Is it possible to make a loop with TweenLite? This is a part of my code: var rect = document.querySelectorAll('.rectangle'); i = 15; var tl = new TimelineLite(); tl .from(rect[i--], 0.3, { y: '-1000', scaleY:5, ease:Power1.easeIn }, "fall") .to(rect[i+1], 0.15, { transformOrigin: "bottom 50%", scaleY: 0.75, scaleX:1.5, ease:Power1.easeOut }, "squash") .to(rect[i+1], 0.2, { y: '-200', scaleY:1.3, scaleX:0.8, ease:Power1.easeOut }, "bounce") .to(rect[i+1], 0.15, { y: '0', scaleY:1, scaleX:1, ease:Power1.easeIn }) .to(rect[i+1], 0.2, { y: '0', scaleY:.8, scaleX:1.35, ease:Power1.easeOut }, "bounce-fall") .to(rect[i+1], 0.2, { y: '-100', scaleY:1.2, scaleX:0.8, ease:Power1.easeOut }, "second-bounce") .to(rect[i+1], 0.15, { y: '0', scaleY:1, scaleX:1, ease:Power1.easeOut }, "final-position") I want to loop this animation for every rectangle (there are 16) with a delay of 0.5 seconds between each rectangle falling. How can i achieve this? Thanks in advance

Hi guys. Finally got the powers that be to agree to switch over to GreenSock for everything and my first demo project is a few banner ads. All work perfectly except for in Firefox. I've searched and couldn't find anything that fits my scenario so posting new. Here's my script from an expanding ad. <script> var $text = $('#text'); var $lock = $('#PadLock'); var $expand = $('#expandButton'); var $close = $('#closeButton'); var $UnlockText = $('#UnlockText'); var $key = $('#ring'); var $CTA = $('#clickthroughButton'); tl = new TimelineLite({paused:true}); tl2 = new TimelineLite({}); tl2.to($lock, .5, {rotation: 25, left:'95px', ease:Sine.easeInOut, top:'60px', transformOrigin:"left 50%",}) .to($lock, .5, {rotation: 5, left:'110px', ease:Sine.easeInOut, top:'78px', transformOrigin:"left 50%",}) .to($lock, .5, {rotation: 15, left:'103px', ease:Sine.easeInOut, top:'69px', transformOrigin:"left 50%",}) .to($lock, .5, {rotation: 10, left:'106px', ease:Sine.easeInOut, top:'74px', transformOrigin:"left 50%",}); TweenLite.from($text, 2, {left: '-200px', ease:Circ.easeInOut, delay: 1}); TweenLite.from($expand, 1, {bottom: '-50px', ease:Expo.easeIn, delay: 1.75}); tl .from($key, 1.5, {rotation: -180, top: '-300px', left: '500px', ease:SteppedEase.easeIn}, '-=.5') .to ($UnlockText, 1, {opacity: 1}, '-=.5') .from($CTA, .75, {bottom:'-136px', ease:SteppedEase.easeInOut, transformOrigin:"left 50%"}, '-=.5') .from($close, 1, {top: '-40px', ease:Circ.easeInOut}); $("#expandButton").click(function() { tl.play(); }); </script> I'm sure it's just some tiny thing that Firefox hates and is choking on, but have rewritten almost the entire thing piece by piece to no avail. Any advice MUCH appreciated.

TL;DR I upgraded our project to use 1.19.0 after using 1.18.2 and requirejs couldn't find TweenLite unless I defined it explicitly in the require config paths object. Is it the expected behavior? We do amd with requirejs. My GSAP section in the paths object looks like this (there is also a base url defined of our external libs server): paths: { // ... TweenMax: {min: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/minified/TweenMax.min'), source: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/uncompressed/TweenMax')}, TimelineMax: {min: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/minified/TweenMax.min'), source: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/uncompressed/TweenMax')}, ScrollToPlugin: {min: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/minified/plugins/ScrollToPlugin.min'), source: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/uncompressed/plugins/ScrollToPlugin')}, DrawSVGPlugin: {min: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/minified/plugins/DrawSVGPlugin.min'), source: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/uncompressed/plugins/DrawSVGPlugin')}, // ... } This setup worked for a long time now without changing anything but version numbers up until 1.18.2. After changing the paths to 1.19.0 I got a console error by reuirejs saying it got 404 on TweenLite because it tried to load it from localhost - require.min.js:34 GET http://localhost/TweenLite.js The way to overcome it was to add a line in paths for TweenLite too TweenLite: {min: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/minified/TweenMax.min'), source: serviceURL('tweenmax/1.19.0/uncompressed/TweenMax')}, Is it an expected behavior? Is it a bug? Am I missing something in the require config? Thanks. Tom.

Hello GreenSock Masters! I want to collect and recognized all the plugins out there! If you have unofficial plugin for GSAP please comment it or reply it to this forum thread. My Unofficial Plugin for GSAP https://github.com/WarenGonzaga/AnimateCSSPlugin This is not actually plugin built because I rely on GSAP ease animations and some GSAP related variables. Anyway if you have something to share with go ahead and comment it/reply it! Thanks GreenSock Forum

Hi guys, I have a weird issue that has popped up. I'm obviously missing something glaringly obvious but its stumped me. I have created a simple accordion menu and created 2 tweens on a timeline: tl = new TimelineLite(); tl.to(currOpenSub, 1, {maxHeight:0}); tl.to(subMenu, 1, {maxHeight:600}, 0); ..but despite me marking the second tween to start at 0 it waits until the first tween is complete before firing. I've never come across this before with Tweenlite/Tweenmax so what am I missing here? Thanks for any advice and help guys .

I am wondering if Greensock is able to tween an API from a different library? I am using Framer.js with my mobile work but using the GSAP animation library. In Framer you can tween the x value (relative), or the screenFrame x value (absolute value). I have attached an image for the API. https://framerjs.com/docs/#layer.layer (under screenFrame) The screenFrame API: element.screenFrame = { x: 400 }; Instead of tweening the x value which is relative, I am trying to tween the screen frame absolute value. TweenMax.to(element, 1, {x: 0}); TweenMax.to(element, 1, {screenFrame:{x: 0}}); <-- It is not working? It is because my JS/GSAP syntax isn't correct?

When utilizing TweenLite.to and scale in a project with <svg> graphics, I've noticed that FireFox and IE11 (not Edge and untested on <IE11) treat my container as though it were "layered". Each time the mouse hits the <svg> graphic inside the <div> it treats it as if I've left the container and minimizes the resulting scale. This causes a "jerky" effect and looks broken to a normal user. I've verified this by watching the console for when I enter and when I leave. Chrome/Edge do not exhibit this behavior and I cannot see how to "fix" this for Firefox/IE11. **The CodePen is only a partial example of the full project (3 wedges vs. 8) but the effect is the same** Things I've Tried: Adding the correct class on my <path>, <symbol>, <g>, etc => same result Changing the variable class/id to hit higher in the document => same result Verbally abuse my computer => same result Any ideas?

Any ideas on why I am getting the error that TweenLite is not defined here? I have tested with over code that it definnetly is but for some reason when using the below it wont work? define(['jquery', 'TweenLite', 'TimelineLite', 'gsapCss', 'gsapJquery'], function ($) {'use strict';}); var slide = TweenLite.to(1.25, {x:-150, ease:Power4.easeInOut, onUpdateParams:[".box_2"], paused:true}); $(".box_2").hover(over, out); function over() { slide.play(); }; function out() { slide.reverse(); };

I am working on a progress bar demonstration that simulates the downloading of multiple files. To simulate the time it takes to download each file, I created a random time between 1 and 5 seconds as the lag between each tween. Either the function that creates the lag or one of my methods that creates the tween seems to be the problem. At this point, I have looked at it for such a long time that I just can not figure it out. Any assistance or advice would be appreciated. See the codepen link for a demonstration of the issue(s). Thanks, James

First of all, you can find a simplified demo of my code in this JSFiddle. I found that my problem happens the way I describe it in Google Chrome, so if you plan to try and fix the bug, please use that browser. I apologize if the code is not very well simplified; please consider that this is a snippet from a bigger project. I'm working on a webapp that uses JQuery and GreenSock's TweenLite for animations. This app consists on some menus that control everything, that are transitioned between using the bodyChange() function. This function has two parameters: nextOrPrev, that runs one animation or another based on the value provided ("next" or "prev"). Only the "next" animation is done yet, but that is not important for now. The "prev"animation, not yet used, just emits an alert("prev"). bodyFunction. The function provided will fill the body with the elements necessary for that menu, and the wrap them in a #bodyWrap. In the demo I provide you with there are only two menus: The first one, mainMenu, with only a #playButton. When you click it, the bodyChange() function is called with the following parameters: ("next", playSettingsBody), playSettings being the second menu. This is the problem: when you click the playButton, the button goes up a on the screen and then executes the TweenLite animation. I can't see, however, why does the button "jump up", instead of staying in the same place and execute the animation. This is probably due to a small mistake. What is it? Thanks for any help.

From my codepen you can see that hovering any of the parent divs results in my animation slewing across them all. In order to isolate the animation per hovered parent element I could copy paste the code using a unique ID per parent, but that seems very inefficient. Is there a way to write a main script and pass in parameters from each parent div? I'm really new to javascript logic but I could follow along if another post like this has been mentioned before. Thanks. edit: just to clarify, I'm basically wondering how I could refactor my code

I'm new to SVG's and trying to get this to animate. I thought something like this would work TweenLite.fromTo('.path', 1, {drawSVG: "0%"}, {drawSVG: "100%"}); but unfortunately no. http://codepen.io/Meds/pen/grWOXW I would like to line animate this logo, any troubleshooting guidance would be appreciated.

Hi there - I have an animation using tweenlite to tween some divs that contain png w transparent backgrounds. This looks great in all browsers expect IE8 there are blackout lines around the pngs. I know there are fixes for jquery fades and whatnot in IE8 for transparent PNGs, however none of the ones i've tried work on my file. Here is the timelinelite doing the tweening: var tl = new TimelineLite(); tl.to("lens_flare1", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.2, scaleY:1.2}) .to("lens_flare1", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare3", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.2, scaleY:1.2}) .to("lens_flare3", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare2", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.3, scaleY:1.3}) .to("lens_flare2", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare4", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.4, scaleY:1.4}) .to("lens_flare4", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare2", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.3, scaleY:1.3}) .to("lens_flare2", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare1", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.2, scaleY:1.2}) .to("lens_flare1", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare4", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.4, scaleY:1.4}) .to("lens_flare4", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare3", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.2, scaleY:1.2}) .to("lens_flare3", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare2", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.3, scaleY:1.3}) .to("lens_flare2", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare1", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.6, scaleY:1.2}) .to("lens_flare1", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare4", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.4, scaleY:1.4}) .to("lens_flare4", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) .to("lens_flare3", .25, {alpha:1, scaleX:1.2, scaleY:1.2}) .to("lens_flare3", .25, {alpha:0, scaleX:1, scaleY:1}) ; and here is the css #lens_flare1 { opacity:0; position:absolute; left:22px; top:5px; background:transparent url('images/lens_flare.gif') no-repeat; width:59px; height:53px; } #lens_flare2 { opacity:0; position:absolute; left:73px; top:10px; background:transparent url('images/lens_flare.png') no-repeat; width:59px; height:53px; } #lens_flare3 { opacity:0; position:absolute; left:118px; top:21px; background:transparent url('images/lens_flare.png') no-repeat; width:59px; height:53px; } #lens_flare3 { opacity:0; position:absolute; left:118px; top:21px; width:59px; height:53px; background:transparent url('images/lens_flare.png') no-repeat; } #lens_flare4 { opacity:0; position:absolute; left:233px; top:50px; width:59px; height:53px; background:transparent url('images/lens_flare.png') no-repeat; } Any tricks for this? Apologies for not posting to Codepen but have super limited time at the moment to get setup on that - Any help is greatly appreciated. ~julia

Hey everyone, I recently put together a nifty little site for a local event in town and (of course) I utilized Greensock in my project. I took a demo that I had found and tweaked it so I could create the snowfall effect seen in the hero/background. However, I've noticed that it seems like its slow (performance wise) on certain devices and its gotten me thinking that maybe I can optimized the performance to insure a steady 60fps framerate (as consistently as possible). The codepen URL I provided shows the original fork example I created. http://codepen.io/iansvo/pen/NNVPPj Here is the live website where this code was implemented (sans the transform: scale() on the <div id="snow"></div> element): http://jacksonvillechristmas.com Any and all feedback would be most appreciated. Thanks!
