turning a demo script into a function

[RyanP]

I attached the codepen I would like to make into a function. I am trying to turn targets, overlapThreshold and boxes into function arguments. When try to put a symbol into a variable it comes up empty. I have been working on a much simpler example for figuring it out.

test("extinguisherYellow", "DZ_Yellow");

function test(a, {

	//alert(a);
	//alert(;
	
	var targets = sym.getSymbol(a);
	var boxes = sym.getSymbol(;
	
	//alert(targets);
	//alert(boxes);
	
	targets.deleteSymbol();
	boxes.deleteSymbol();
}

I know this is a stupid issue, it's been a while since I have touched JS (been in MS Access last few months   . Would one of you help me remember how to set this up so I can stop feeling dumb.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

I'm a little confused by the question, but my guess is that maybe you want something like this: http://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/eJNxyj?editors=001

If you have any questions about the GSAP API please let us know.

that is what I was trying to do, but make it into a function that I could call many times. Didn't realize it was a premium script and it was failing on the call home but not telling me.
