Hello mak, and Welcome to the GreenSock Forum!

 

This is due to the symbol tag being a structural element that is not rendered directly. Only the instances of the symbol element referenced through the <use> tag are.

 

SVG Symbol: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/symbol

 

You can also use the GSAP AttrPlugin to animate the values of elements inside the <symbol> element or <def> element.

 

Examples of AttrPlugin used with SVG:

 

GSAP SVG FIlter Gaussian Blur:

See the Pen GJPjjQ by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen

GSAP SVG Filter Hue-Rotate:

See the Pen MwPzox by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen

GSAP SVG Filter Displacement Turbulence:
