Hi all! I have some strange error with ie 11 (may be earlier versions too). Here is a simple example of my code: var gfx_obj = {}; gfx_obj.r1 = 1; gfx_obj.r2 = 1; gfx_obj.r3 = 1; gfx_obj.r4 = 1; function appearGFX(num) { TweenLite.to(gfx_obj, 1.2, {["r"+ num]:5, ease: Power3.easeOut}); } appearGFX(1); So this gives me error in IE only (all other modern browsers is OK). Screenshot of error is attached. Any thoughts how to fix it?

Hello to all! Total noob at GSAP. I'm trying to make a loader (as you can see in the codepen is a carrot), and while it's loading the leaves in top of the carrots will have a wink effect. But I cant figure out how I can make the rotation smoothly! The timeline is: -15deg and then 15deg I tried to add one more tween for 0deg but without success, also I tried the yoyo but the same bad result. With CSS I would just add "alternate" on animation shorthand and "infinite". Thanks

Dear All, I am using the Avada theme + ScrollMagic, but I get this following error in the console in Firefox: ReferenceError: TweenMax is not defined In the theme's functions.php I am trying to enqueue the scripts and add/delete dependencies, but I still can't get it to work: wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery', false, array(), $theme_info->get( 'Version' ), true ); //LAURAN BEGIN//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //wp_deregister_script( 'TweenMaxMin' ); wp_register_script( 'TweenMaxMin', $template_directory .

Hello, I'm pretty new to JS, but worked for many years with Flash AS. One issue I'm running into are Linter problems in my code editor "Brackets". My animation runs fine and Chrome also has no errors. But I really would like to get rid of all these Linter probelms showing up. I've loaded jquery and TweenMax libraries in my main html file: <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.17.0/TweenMax.min.js"></script> <script src="main.js"></script> In my "main.js" I have: var videoPanelTl = new TimelineLite(); Now this Linter problem that shows up: "'TimelineLite' is not defined. - W117 -". More problems show up when using "$" , or easing "Back" for example. They all show up as "is not defined". Seems like my JS file doesn't even know that TweenMax has been loaded in the html file? I'm also not getting any code hinting for TweenMax - probably for the same reason. I've searched for many hours on the internet since it seems a pretty basic question but couldn't figure it out. Is there a way to fix this? I would really appreciate any help.

Hi there. I'm interested in doing step animation but using the smallest engine you have to offer for GSAP, which is TimelineLite (correct?) I was wondering if there was an equivelent to something like this http://codepen.io/anon/pen/yNpQEq But with GSAP? Really need a light weight solution as most sites are not allowing more than 40k zipped HTML5 packaged files still and CSS3 older browser doesn't compare to Greensocks.. I did see this http://codepen.io/MAW/pen/MYdwRP But TweenMax is HUGE. Halp? Thanks.

I'm an admitted newbie Greensock user/member. I use Edge Animate and have incorporated Draggable into a very simple interactive component. I typically learn with simply trying different things and looking at what others have done. It's steep learning curve thing to do, but I just keep plugging away at it. I'm trying to solve a parent/child issue. I have a larger circle that has a smaller "wedge" layered on top. I can rotate both symbols independently but ultimately I want the lower layer (the larger circle) to rotate the child wedge. The wedge should be able to be moved independently of the larger circle. I'm looking at all kinds of ways to solve this, but thought I'd try asking for help too. The very simple js code is pasted below...it works just fine rotating my "dial" (the large circle) with my "index" (the wedge). Any suggestions would be appreciated as I tinker with the code. I'll upload something to Codepen as soon as I get that figured out too! Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Hey guys, Quick question that's been bothering me. Is there any way to have multiple values for repeatDelay? Example: Animation plays for 5 seconds 2 seconds delay Animation plays for 5 seconds 5 seconds delay ... Thanks, Marko

I've been working on a project for several months now, and had been using an older version of GSAP for animations, largely to scroll the site up and down to specific sections when the user clicks the navigation. I recently updated from beta 1.5 to the latest ( 1.8.2 ) and noticed that the site no longer scrolled properly: the scroll animation will start and get about 20-50px and just stop. This only happens in Safari/ML 10.8.2. I used BrowserStack to version test, and Safari 6.0.2 in Lion works just fine. To debug, I set an onUpdate function to log the $( window ).scrollTop(), and it seems as if the tween fails at setting the window's scroll, but continues to run fine: I was able to solve my problem by just reverting back to 1.5, but I wanted to send a bug report.

I am trying to achieve something like this http://www.puma.com/mobium/ Where it only animate when you scroll. I figured it uses mousewheel jquery and tweenlite. I managed to make the animation play on scroll, but I am having problems trying to make the animation play backwards. I am using this line of code to make the animation: TweenLite.to('#animation', 2, {backgroundPosition: '-'+(frameWidth*numCols)+'px 0px', ease:steppedEase}); Also, how do I make the animation actually play a number of frames on one scroll, rather than playing the whole animation on one scroll. EDIT: I managed to make it play backward by using timelineLite instead of tweenlite. But I am still having problems with trying to have a better control of the animation. $("#animationwrap").mousewheel(function(objEvent, intDelta){ if (intDelta < 0){ tl.to('#animation', 2, {backgroundPosition: '-'+(frameWidth*numCols)+'px 0px', ease:steppedEase}); } else if (intDelta > 0){ tl.reverse(); } });

Hey guys, I'm using TweenLite's ticker to provide my game with a loop I can use for updating the physics. To make my game framerate independent I need the delta time (DT). The docs suggest the callback receives event which I thought might include the DT, however the event is undefined. I can calculate the delta time myself however I was hoping it would be available. For now I can do this... var previous_time = 0, current_time, dt = 0; TweenLite.ticker.addEventListener("tick", function() { previous_time = current_time current_time = TweenLite.ticker.time dt = (current_time - previous_time) * 1000 game.tick(dt) });

New to gsap and js, trying to implement delayedCall in my slider like in the Bassta tutorial (http://bassta.bg/2013/05/simple-fade-infade-out-slideshow-with-tweenlite/). I am running into difficulty trying to killTweento when clicking on 'prev' or 'next'. clearTimout seems to work from the original code (http://tympanus.net/codrops/2013/04/17/background-slideshow/); however, I would like to utilize gsap for this, so I can use sizzle or some other selector engine, instead of full-blown jquery. (My attempt at killTweenTo is commented out in the code) http://jsfiddle.net/gregorygarden/q68723x4/

I know that it might be hard (if not outright impossible) to achieve what I want, but gsap always surprises me (I used it back in as3) that I think it's worth it to ask. Is it possible to animate a div parent exclusive of the child? What I mean by this is let's say I have a div like so: <div style="colored-rectangle"> <p>My Content</p> </div> See the div is a 'colored-rectangle'. I want to animate my text and the colored rectangle separately from each other. I'm using TweenLite.from();, and I want my text to appear from the top while the div comes in from the bottom. Thanks!

Hi to all! my name is Patrizio, i have a question and hope find here a solution at my problem:) some year past have work to animation along bezier path in flash ... the anim figure a ship navigation. the page is here. now i want make a conversion of site frontend from flash to javascript. from cms data I get a path serie like this : path0= [{x: 530.1 , y: 115.7 }, {x: 538.65 , y: 119.35 }, {x: 536.8 , y: 126.6}, {x: 534.95, y: 133.9}, {x: 521, y: 135.45}]; path1= [{x: 519.9 , y: 135.55 }, {x: 523.1 , y: 144.4 }, {x: 523.6 , y: 154.5}, {x: 524.15, y: 164.65}, {x: 523.1, y: 174.05}]; path2= [{x: 523.25 , y: 174.7 }, {x: 494.9 , y: 179.9 }, {x: 470.8 , y: 240.25}, {x: 446.75, y: 300.6}, {x: 300.15, y: 211.1}]; path3= [{x: 300.15 , y: 210.65 }, {x: 275.55 , y: 215.85 }, {x: 244.25 , y: 225.2}, {x: 212.95, y: 234.55}, {x: 184.05, y: 247.05}]; path4= [{x: 183.05 , y: 247.1 }, {x: 135.45 , y: 246.6 }, {x: 118.1 , y: 252.05}, {x: 100.7, y: 257.55}, {x: 90.5, y: 278.35}]; path5= [{x: 90.7 , y: 278.95 }, {x: 104.6 , y: 268.55 }, {x: 107.55 , y: 265.4}, {x: 110.5, y: 262.3}, {x: 112.1, y: 260.2}]; path6= [{x: 111.4 , y: 261.55 }, {x: 105 , y: 254.25 }, {x: 184.7 , y: 235.8}, {x: 264.45, y: 217.35}, {x: 299.2, y: 211.6}]; path7= [{x: 299.5 , y: 211.65 }, {x: 434.3 , y: 300.05 }, {x: 463.2 , y: 247.75}, {x: 492.1, y: 195.5}, {x: 522.6, y: 174.7}]; path8= [{x: 522.3 , y: 174.75 }, {x: 534.6 , y: 165.4 }, {x: 539.15 , y: 144.3}, {x: 543.7, y: 123.25}, {x: 529.25, y: 115.95}]; In this forum i have find some example but not respond exactly how flash in the original work. maybe i'm wrong what's the optimal method for draw the bezier path like progressive animation drawing ??? someone can suggest me the right way ? sorry my poor english tnxxxx

Hi all! I need help with this, I have tested in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE9+ and works magically. But when I tested in IE8 specifically, the animation breaks. I have tried everything I could came up with but I'm stocked. Demo Link: http://theoremcreations.com/undertone/16002/ss/demo/ CodePen Link: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/lnIHg Animation_Demo.zip

So i'm currently working on a page that has animation when you scroll down the page using scrollmagic and tweenmax. I've pinned the appropriate sections and created the animation, and everything works perfectly. I then added some javascript to have a show/hide function for the different features in a sticky nav (instead of having a long vertical scrolling page, it swaps out content within the same area). I noticed a very weird bug when I switch between the different sections. Here's a screenshot of what the bug looks like when I go back to the original section with the animation. It seems as though the tweenmax plugin is ignoring all of my css and completely breaks. What's even weirder is that when you start to scroll down the css is restored. Any ideas on what this is? I can't seem to figure out what's causing it.

Hello, I'm just getting into animating without the traditional timeline. I mainly worked on banner ads and was very efficient at creating dynamic ads within the tight constraints of 40-60k files. I'm quite nervous about what direction to take. I desperately want to start learning JS HTML5 animation but have a concern that I will run into many clients that need flash only. I felt the warm embrace (ease) of flash for too long. Now I feel I'm in the wild wild west again. A couple questions. 1. Can you develop JS and convert to flash if needed automatically? 2. I know JS and AS3 are close in syntax but if I start to learn JS will a conversion to AS3 if needed be a nightmare manually?

I'd like to tween a CSS value, say a div background color, through multiple colors based on scroll position -- as if I could set up a gradient of colors (for instance a spectrum/rainbow). My thought was to set up tweens on a TimelineMax and then check on each scroll update as to percentage scrolled and seek to that percentage position on the TLM. I can do the grunt work, but I'm curious to know whether using TLM in this way would even be possible -- any help appreciated --

Hi, The plugin example page is a great way to test parameters, http://www.greensock.com/tweenlite/#plugins. Specifically, I am working with Physics2d. Is there a page that shows the example as a JS file as opposed to Actionscript? Am I missing something?

I am using TweenMax with Adobe Edge Animate, and I am trying to rotate a div to zero degrees from various starting points. If I set rotation equal to any positive or negative number, the div will rotate to that value. However, if I set rotation equal to 0, the div will not rotate at all. Is there a secret to this that I am missing? Here is a sample where photo1 is the div. It is a photo that is on the screen and initially at a -24deg rotation. I want it to move to the coordinates listed while rotating to 0deg. TweenMax.to(photo1, 1, {top:215, left:240, rotation:0, ease:Power1.easeInOut}); Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Fred

Hi all! I come from using TweenMax for AS and have now been tasked with creating a slide presentation with audio without using Flash so it can be viewed on ipads etc. Here are my tasks. I have a narrator discussing different slides much like a powerpoint presentation. Each slide could potentially have its own bulleted animations synced with the audio. Each slide progress automatically. The user can scrub forward or backwards and there is a time-code. I have built one already using timesheets.js but it only allows for slide to slide animations not animations within a particular slide or at least thats what I'm getting. i guess its a two-fold question. Can GSAP be integrated with timesheets Or can I build something like I mentioned above with GSAP alone? Many thanks! Lance

I'm trying to randomize some settings in a tween. The first time it gets random values, but each iteration thereafter is identical. function RandomTween(e,o,w,h){ TweenMax.to(e, 0, {x:(int(o.left*w)), y:(int(o.top*h)),rotation:getRandomArbitary(1.05,6.25)+"rad"}); TweenMax.to(e, getRandomArbitary(0.5,5), {y: o.animation.to.y*h,repeat:-1,x: o.animation.to.x*w,force3D:true, rotation:getRandomArbitary(1.05,6.25)+"rad",ease:Linear.easeNone,onComplete:function(e,o,w,h){ RandomTween(e,o,w,h); },onCompleteParams:[e,o,w,h]}); } /** * Returns a random number between min and max */ function getRandomArbitary (min, max) { return random() * (max - min) + min; } var seed = 1; function random() { var x = Math.sin(seed++) * 10000; return x - Math.floor(x); } Am I missing something here?

If I have a set number of coordinates, say a user draws an s-curve with their mouse/finger, what would be the best way to tween an object along the same path? I can loop a bunch to TweenTo calls but I'm wondering if there is a better way? A plugin maybe that helps with this? Thanks for any suggestions.

I recently started using GSAP for animating three.js as an alternative to https://github.com/sole/tween.js, commonly used for this. It made it really easy to do something like: make a cube spin and when it stops, wait until one of the faces are square (through a 90 degree rotation with repeat -1 switched on/off). However, I'm struggling with severe performance issues in tweening many objects at a time. I think this has to do with having to create a duplicate copy of the objects to store the tween data rather than just being able to directly tween object variables without having to write in onUpdate. This makes writing the tween a tad more tedious than tween.js, and it has been no easy task to convert from tween.js to GSAP. Once I finally did figure out how to do this, I found the performance was severely worse than using tween.js. I created an example modification of a three.js example which closely relates to the project I'm working on: Original, using tween.js: http://jsfiddle.net/justin_hackin/J3k9N/ (Tweening @ 292) Single variable for closure in loop, not working: http://jsfiddle.net/justin_hackin/dHLcg/ TweenMax demo: http://jsfiddle.net/justin_hackin/6bFJc/ (Tweening @ 298) I'm wondering, are these performance issues happening because each TweenMax closure is trying to store the whole object copy array ? I don't quite understand the deeper aspects of JS, excuse my ignorance. Am I doing something wrong here ? I really love these GSAP libraries so I hope I can make it work for the project I'm working on. If not, I really hope the developers will consider making the code more friendly to this kind of use. The project I'm working on might eventually be willing to invest in such a feature if it would take some efforts to implement, please let me know what could be possible. Thanks, ~Justin

Hi everybody, First of all, gratz for the amazing work you've done Jack, Carl and all the community's member who help the development of GreenSock. (and sorry for my bad English). i use TweenMax for 4 years in my projects AS3 in Flash and now i try to convert me to HTML5 with GSAP. I want to be able to convert all the work ive done for these 4 years in HTML5 and so ive decided to work with the more complex animation. The matter with this animation is the number of element animated (i join it to the message). I don't intend to declare all the element one by one, in CSS, this will be a wasted time I think. So, ive searched on the web but I found nothing that I can use. I work with Adode Design Premium CS5, so i can't use CreateJS as plugin for Flash and I haven't Edge Animate. I tried Swiffy but It doesn't seems to work. I tried to do something like this in Flash: function createCSS () { for (var i:int=0; i<numChildren-1; i++) { var mc:MovieClip = getChildAt(i) as MovieClip; tabMC[i] = mc; trace ('#'+mc.name+'{'); trace ('position:absolute;'); trace ('x:'+mc.x+';'); trace ('y:'+mc.y+';'); trace ('}'); trace (''); } } wich display a "potential" CSS style-sheets of all the elements but if I want it works, i will have to export each element in SVG with Illustrator with the same name used by Flash, and that also seems to be a wasted time. Is there another solution you see to do this ? I hope Ive been clear, my english is so bad. Thank you in advance for whatever help you can give me. Notice that the animation size is very low (52ko) i want to keep this size as lower as possible, even in HTML5. ps: attached file contains the .fla ATRT_anim01.zip

My colleague had scaled a DIV container with text/vector graphics. It looks super sharp on a retina screen in firefox, but on a regular monitor he has connected it looks blurry. For me it looks like on the retina it has scaled the fonts, but on the regular screen it seems like it has bitmaped and scaled (everything is blurry) Any workarounds? We used Elements inspector to check the width/height after scale and it´s whole pixel values.
