Is there a callback that fires immediately before writing properties to CSS?

No, there is no such callback but I'm very curious why you'd want that sort of thing. Can you explain? Maybe there's another solution. Offering a callback like that inside GSAP for every tween individually would have a pretty bad impact on performance. 

 

If you want to call a function before the GSAP engine runs all its updates (on everything for that tick), you could do something like:

TweenLite.ticker.addEventListener("tick", yourFunction, this, false, 1); //notice the last number, 1. That's the priority. The core GSAP ticker uses a priority of 0, thus this would get called before that.

See the docs at http://greensock.com/docs/#/HTML5/GSAP/TweenLite/ticker/

I don't mean to hijack the thread -- but maybe this is the right thread for an issue I am having?

 

Here is my situation:

My engine tweens multiple values on different javascript objects (and also receives network data which can influence tweened values).

On the ticker event (priority 1), my engine looks for differences in the current and previous state of the javascript object (using a JSON diff library).

If there is a difference, I use the values from the current javascript object to update multiple css properties on different elements.

 

However, it seems I am suffering from a one frame lag in my animations.  This is because the tweened values get updated on priority zero, and my ticker event does not get a chance to pick up those changes until the next RAF on priority 1.

 

Can I make my ticker have a negative priority?  Or can I change the priority value on my Tweens?
