Hi,

 

I just made my first GSAP animation and by coincidence, its what you ask.

I would create a pen for you, but I also use PHP to read in the images and also all greensock js files.

Here is my code, if you have any questions, feel free to ask:

<?php
session_start();
$startFolder = "NAME OF YOUR IMAGE FOLDER HERE";
$array_items = array();

function directoryToArray($directory, $recursive) {
	global $array_items, $startFolder;
	if ($handle = opendir($directory)) {
		while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
			if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
				if (is_dir($directory. "/" . $file)) {
					$current = preg_replace("/\/\//si", "/", $file); 
					$array_items[$current] = array();
					if($recursive) {
						directoryToArray($directory. "/" . $file, $recursive);
					}					
				} else {
					$file = $directory . "/" . $file;
					$current = preg_replace("/\/\//si", "/", $directory);
					$current = str_ireplace($startFolder."/", "", $current);		
					$array_items[$current][] = preg_replace("/\/\//si", "/", $file);
				}
			}
		}
		closedir($handle);
	}
	//echo '<pre>',print_r($array_items), '</pre>';
	return $array_items;
}

$output = '';
//$_SESSION[$startFolder] = directoryToArray($startFolder, true);
/** All images of every subfolder 
foreach($_SESSION[$startFolder] as $subdir){
	foreach($subdir as $foto){
		$output .= '<img class="foto" src="'.$foto.'" />';
	}
}
*/

$_SESSION[$startFolder] = directoryToArray($startFolder,false);
foreach($_SESSION[$startFolder] as $foto){
	$output .= '<img class="foto" src="'.$foto.'" />';
}

?>

Hi,

 

In addition to codo's advice, just like to add that GSAP currently doesn't support animating multiple backgrounds' positions. I couldn't tell you why, Carl or Jack would have to clear that up for us.

 

In the mean time take a look a solution proposed in the following post and the set of codepen examples:

 

http://forums.greensock.com/topic/9644-animating-multiple-css-backgrounds/

 

Finally another solution is the one that Codo proposes, set a bunch of images on top of each other (absolute position) and then animate them.

 

Rodrigo.
