Hi GSAP Community, I am working on an animation where an element (targetEl) moves between different zones (zoneEl) as the user scrolls. However, I'm facing an issue with tracking the initial position of targetEl correctly. The targetEl is inside zoneEl.first(), which is in another div with a height of 1500dvh and is animated to move from right to left by -100dvh. This movement is causing the targetEl to start in the wrong position, and the animation does not play correctly. Here is the code I am using (fille in attaches): window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", (event) => { // SETUP PLUGINS gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger, Flip); ScrollTrigger.normalizeScroll(true); // SETUP ELEMENTS let zoneEl = $("[js-scrollflip-element='zone']"), targetEl = $("[js-scrollflip-element='target']").first(); // SETUP TIMELINE let tl; function createTimeline() { if (tl) { tl.kill(); gsap.set(targetEl, { clearProps: "all" }); } tl = gsap.timeline({ scrollTrigger: { trigger: zoneEl.first(), start: "center center", endTrigger: zoneEl.last(), end: "center center", scrub: true } }); zoneEl.each(function (index) { let nextZoneEl = zoneEl.eq(index + 1); if (nextZoneEl.length) { let nextZoneDistance = nextZoneEl.offset().top + nextZoneEl.innerHeight() / 2; let thisZoneDistance = $(this).offset().top + $(this).innerHeight() / 2; let zoneDifference = nextZoneDistance - thisZoneDistance; tl.add( Flip.fit(targetEl[0], nextZoneEl[0], { duration: zoneDifference, ease: "power2.inOut" }) ); } }); } createTimeline(); // SETUP RESIZE let resizeTimer; window.addEventListener("resize", function () { clearTimeout(resizeTimer); resizeTimer = setTimeout(function () { createTimeline(); }, 250); }); }); The problem is that targetEl is positioned incorrectly because zoneEl.first() is animated with a -100dvh shift from right to left. I need to track the initial position of targetEl correctly so that the animation starts at the correct position with the right coordinates and dimensions. I have included a video explanation and a link to my site for more context: Video: https://www.loom.com/share/9bfb3434afcc432b8fb6ab969bed136c?sid=188e85ea-b5a8-42f3-bd02-f52f103f7b57 Website: https://s-liudvichenko.webflow.io Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
