Newbie - fromTo using css

[Guest struthyBhoy]

Hi,
 
I am a newbie here, so I hope i am not annoying anyone to much with this question.
 
I want to animate some css selectors. I am using TweenMax.
 
This is the code I have - I would also like to tween the opacity from 0 to 1 and add a ease:Bounce.easeOut. 

 

Any help appreciated. 

var head = $(".banner-home-text h1"),
var tl = new TimelineLite();
tl.fromTo(head, 0.5, css:{marginTop:400}, css:{marginTop:0});

tl.fromTo(head, 0.5,{ css:{marginTop:400}, opacity:0, ease:Bounce.easeOut}, { css:{marginTop:0}, opacity:0,ease:Bounce.easeOut});
 
Try this-----------

That didn't work, thanks though. I got it kind of working with this, but I cant seem to get other elements in the timeline with this.

 var h1 = new TimelineLite()

 h1.from('.banner-home-text h1', 2, {
 	css:{marginTop:400, opacity: 0},
 	ease:Bounce.easeOut,
 	// /delay: 6
  });

I have got what I want, I think I can work from this code. Thanks for the help

	var h = $("h1"),
 	  para = $("p");

	var t1 = new TimelineLite()


	 t1.from(h, 2, {
	 	css:{marginTop:400, opacity: 0},
	 	ease:Bounce.easeOut,
	 	// /delay: 6
	  });

	  t1.from(para, 2, {
	 	css:{marginTop:400, opacity: 0},
	 	ease:Bounce.easeOut,
	  }, "-=1.3"
	);

Glad you got it working! FYI, it also works without the css:{...} declaration, in most cases.

be careful with those trailing commas. When I work in "use strict" mode the commas would error out.

Also, like flysi300 said you don't need to wrap the CSS anymore.

t1.from(h, 2, {
 marginTop: 400,
 opacity: 0,
 ease: Bounce.easeOut
});
t1.from(para, 2, {
 marginTop: 400,
 opacity: 0,
 ease: Bounce.easeOut
}, "-=1.3");

Hello struthyBhoy, and Welcome to the GreenSock Forum!

 

Instead of tweening opacity you can tween autoAlpha, which will also give you better performance.

 

See the CSSPlugin Docs:

• autoAlpha
  Identical to opacity except that when the value hits 0 the visibility property will be set to "hidden" in order to improve browser rendering performance and prevent clicks/interactivity on the target. When the value is anything other than 0, visibility will be set to "inherit". It is not set to "visible" in order to honor inheritance (imagine the parent element is hidden - setting the child to visible explicitly would cause it to appear when that's probably not what was intended). And for convenience, if the element's visibility is initially set to "hidden" and opacity is 1, it will assume opacity should also start at 0. This makes it simple to start things out on your page as invisible (set your css visibility:hidden) and then fade them in whenever you want.

Example of usage:

//fade out and set visibility:hidden
TweenLite.to(element, 2, {autoAlpha:0});

//in 2 seconds, fade back in with visibility:visible
TweenLite.to(element, 2, {autoAlpha:1, delay:2});

Hope this helps!
