Hey guys,

 

just experienced this the second time. I make an animation on a menu-item, which has a hover effect (pure css, item:hover).

 

But after the animation is done, the hover effect no longer works.

 

Is there a solution to this? 

 

 

Thanks in advance

yeah, like Jonathan said, we would need to see an example. I'm sure what you are describing will only take a few lines of css / js to illustrate.

 

Keep in mind that when you animate a DOM object with TweenLite it has to put inline styles on the element that is being animated. These styles are more specific than your css rules. 

 

You can remove styles that TweenLite adds by using

TweenLite.set(yourElement, {clearProps:"all"}); // or clearProps:"left,top,whatever"

If we can see a demo I'm sure we can help you find a solution.

A codepen demo would be great - this sounds like maybe a case where the inline style (which is what GSAP affects) is overriding some other css that you're wanting to apply via a class or something. If that's true, you can either use GSAP's clearProps special property to remove the inline styles (add clearProps:"all" or clearProps"left,top,whatever" - a list of properties) or you can just use GSAP to do your hover animation too (which is probably what I'd recommend because GSAP is far more flexible and it manages overwriting for you, is more compatible, etc.)

 

EDIT: ha, Carl and I were typing at the same time ;)

clearProps was exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

 

Greensock makes just perfect pieces of software, I am more and more amazed every day, and very glad that I decided to get a business licence.

 

I have been using your software since 2010 (AS3 days), and just want to say thanks for this wonderful state-of-the-art piece of software and the awesome support.

 

Big, big thumbs up, guys!

 

Best wishes,

LilaQ
