Hi GreenSock team 👋 I'm working with Next.js 15 and trying to orchestrate animations across multiple components using a shared masterTimelinethrough context. Each component defines its own gsap.timeline() and then adds it to the global timeline via masterTimeline.add(). For example: I have two components: Boxand Nav. - Box has its tl with 4 tweens and inserts a label after the second tween (addLabel('afterSecondTween')). - Nav defines its own timeline and tries to insert it at that label inside the master timeline using masterTimeline.add(navTL, 'afterSecondTween'). 🎯 My goal is to synchronize timelines between different components, so that they run in sequence or in specific positions. 💣 The result: Nav always animates at the start of the timeline. ✅ I’ve confirmed that: - The Nav timeline is added with the same label name. - But it still plays immediately (as if the label had time = 0). 💬 My question is: Is it correct to insert timelines at labels from other components in GSAP + React? Is this synchronization possible? What is the correct or recommended way to synchronize animations between different components in GSAP and React? Is this pattern okay: 1. Each component creates its own timeline 2. One of them defines a label at a specific point 3. Another component inserts its timeline at that label Or... is there a better / more robust way to orchestrate animations across components in React using GSAP? Thanks in advance for your insights 🙏 Here’s a minimal CodePen that replicates the problem: 📎 CodePen

I have this animation, where I am having a hard time making a particular animation complete in almost 20% or start of a particular label. const zoomData = [ {scale: 1, origin: [0.5, 0.5] }, {scale: 18, origin: [0.685, 0.38], steps: [ { type : 'in', el : '.location_1', }, { type : 'out', el : '#text', }, { type : 'out', el : '.location_wrapper .section-title', }, { type : 'out', el : '.location_wrapper .andaman-key', }, { type : 'in', el : '#htxt', }, ], label : 'empty' }, {scale: 1, origin: [0.5, 0.5], steps: [ { type : 'out', el : '.location_1', }, { type : 'out', el : '#htxt', }, ], label : 'havelock' }, {scale: 18, origin: [0.500, 0.78], steps: [ { type : 'in', el : '.location_2', }, { type : 'in', el : 'svg #ctxt', }, ], label : 'chidiyatapu' }, ]; I have this object which is responsible for setting up the animation. It is used by the following Js to add it to the timeline. zoomData.slice(1).forEach(data => { if(data.steps) { tl.zoom(".location_island", { scale: data.scale, origin: data.origin, ease: "power1.inOut" }); tl.addLabel( data.label , "<"); data.steps.forEach( step => { if(step.type == 'out') { tl.fromTo(step.el, { autoAlpha: 1, display: 'block', }, { autoAlpha: 0, display: 'none', ease: "power1.inOut" }, data.label ) } if(step.type == 'in') { tl.fromTo(step.el, { autoAlpha: 0, display: 'none', }, { autoAlpha: 1, display: 'block', ease: "power1.inOut" }, data.label + "+=20%" ) } }) } else { tl.zoom(".location_island", { scale: data.scale, origin: data.origin, ease: "power1.inOut" }) } }); }); How can I make the text, Our Centers, Andaman Island and `#text` fade away when I am first time zooming inside.

When working with TimelineMax, is it possible to use a relative position and have a label? I have tried to chain `addLabel` before and after the desired position, but it does not seem to be able to be referenced. Am I falling into some sort of anti-pattern? Here is a barebones demo: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/VLrpQX var tl = new TimelineMax(); var boxNode = $('.box'); tl .fromTo( boxNode, 8, { autoAlpha: 0 }, { autoAlpha: 1 }, 'fadeIn' ) // Start the movement alongside the fade .addLabel('moveFromTop') .to( boxNode, 1, { top: '200px' }, 'fadeIn+=0' ) //.addLabel('moveFromTop') // One second after moving from top, move from the left .to( boxNode, 1, { left: '200px' }, 'moveFromTop+=1' );

Could someone lend me some knowledge?!! Is it possible to take this addLabel string: overviewtl.addLabel("Sequence 01", overviewtl.duration); and have it update a dynamic text box on the stage. It's for client editing purposes, so they can have a reference to the sequence name within a long timelineMax build. My knowledge of AS3 really lets me down sometimes, but I usually manage from Carl's tutorials and the forums here to get what I need to work. This case, I'm stumped! I've already built in the progress bar and slider + play pause functions which all work a treat - this final bit would be the icing on the cake! Thanks in advance, Merrick

Hi Is there a way to to add a listener when the timelinemax instance reaches a label or would I have to use TimelineMax.currentLabel on the onUpdate to see the label change? Thanks!
