PointC, Thanks for your help. I had a feeling it was something simple. Now I see, the plugin is just for trying on CodePen but is only offered to club members. Thanks.

Hi there, I've been enjoying making some animations with GreenSock today and I've run into a problem. I have a feeling that the solution is simple and that I am just missing it through sheer obliviousness. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. I'm working with a compound path that I made in Illustrator and saved as SVG. My two paths are described using the d attribute, with one shown and the other {visibility: hidden}. I'm attempting to use the morphSVG plugin with TweenLite. I've tried: using the id name as a string "#hamburger" saving the element in a JavaScript variable and passing that in passing in the path string from the d attribute. None of these options is working for me! From the docs vs my code: TweenLite.to("#circle", 1, {morphSVG:"#hippo"}); // GSAP Docs TweenLite.to(hamburger, 1, {morphSVG: "#hamburger"}); // My Code When I try using a JavaScript variable, the console error is: invalid morphSVG tween value: [object SVGPathElement] When I use the id string, the console error is: invalid morphSVG tween value: #close When I use the path string, there's no console output. However, watching the containing div's classname, I can see that the code is being run. I thought the case might be because I was using compound paths instead of simple paths. I made a circle and star path in Illustrator and tried to use those instead. Same problem as far as I can tell. Well, if you could give it a try on the CodePen and offer a suggestion as to how I can address this I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Jonathan and ohem, Thank you for your quick responses. This is not the first bug I've encountered with webkit and it won't be the last. Since I have a long timeline with many tweens in many iterations of this ad, I opted for "CSSPlugin.defaultForce3D = true; " which, as far as I am aware, sets the global value of Force3D in all tweens. I'm not sure if this would also work if it were set to false, I plan to test that soon. However, tentatively, I haven't seen any jitters since I added this line of code after my master timeline declaration. I'm going to continue testing to make sure, but as of right now this is what is working in my code. Thanks again for your quick response, you set me on the right track after a couple of hours unsuccessfully Googling about this bug. Thank you!

Hello all. I have been using your fine library to animate a set of banner ads for a client going live soon. Fairly late in this process, a team member discovered a 1 pixel jitter or wiggle only in Safari. We are using Google DoubleClick, and we also have a private viewer to show clients ads. In both cases, after uploading these animated ads, in Safari the ad will shift back and forth by about one pixel while elements in it are animating. To phrase it in a different way, when the ad is on a page within an iFrame, the iframe or possibly the container it's in shifts side to side in a wiggle by about one pixel. The animations display slightly differently in Safari as opposed to Chrome. This is not as significant as the jitter. This has been found in Safari Version 9.0 in OSX El Capitan and Yosemite. I stripped the ad of any client-specific images, text, or information and uploaded it to CodePen to try and isolate what's going on. I also had to strip out all the DoubleClick specific code because CodePen would not allow it to run with that code. I really have to apologize because this is very ugly at the moment as I try to debug this. So far I have not been able to get the iframe to jitter in CodePen. However in the "Details" view, the animation is affecting the font weight of the page header text! I feel like this is related. I am at wits end. I'm hoping that if you look at it here and can understand why the font is changing during animation, it will help me understand why the ad is affecting its container during animation in Safari. EDIT: To be clear, right now the behavior I'm asking for help debugging is in CodePen, that the font weight of the header in the top left is flickering during the animation of my banner ad. I think this must be caused by the same thing that is making it jitter in Google DoubleClick preview and in our internal adviewer page, which also uses iframes. Any help would be much appreciated.
