Hi there,

 

I am a new animator with a few basic questions. I want to animate a series of images one after another. I want an image to animate in, hod for a second and then animate out. Then I want the second image to animate in hold and animate out. Ditto for the third.

 

This is the code I have so far. The images animate in but I am not sure of the best way to have them hold and then animate out befor the next image comes in. Suggestions?



(function($) {

var img1 = $('buff_chicken'),
img2 = $('mac_cheese'),
img3 = $('sandwich'),

tl = new TimelineLite();

tl
.from(buff_chicken, 0.3, {y: -250, ease: Back.easeInOut.config(1.7), autoAlpha: 0,})
.from(mac_cheese, 0.3, {x: -300, ease: Back.easeInOut.config(1.7), autoAlpha: 0,}, '+=1')
.from(sandwich, 0.3, {x: 300, ease: Back.easeInOut.config(1.7), autoAlpha: 0,}, '-=0.15')

})(jQuery);

Hi jeansandjacktrequired :)

 

Welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

This sounds like a good job for the staggerTo() method:

http://greensock.com/docs/#/HTML5/Sequencing/TimelineMax/staggerTo/

 

You can give all of your images or divs the same class and then easily stagger them on and off screen. By using the same class for all of them you avoid all the additional variables and you can add/remove images without having to make any changes to the animation. I made a really simple pen so you can see how this could work for you:

Hopefully that helps.

 

If you have any additional question, please make a simple CodePen for us so we can more quickly find the problem and/or offer suggestions. Here's how to make a CodePen demo:

Happy tweening and welcome aboard.

That is exactly what I was working towards.

Now, what if I wanted red box to animate from the left, stay on stage for a second and fade to the right, green animate from the right, stay on stage for a second and fade to the left, and then blue animate from the top. 

Sorry for so many questions. I am also going through all of the tutorials

In that case, you'd want to take advantage of the cycle property.

tl.staggerFrom(".box", 1, { cycle:{ x:[ -400,400,0,0 ],y:[0,0,-400,400] } },3)
tl.staggerTo(".box", 1, { cycle:{ x:[ 400,-400,0,0 ],y:[0,0,400,-400] },autoAlpha:0 },3,2)
tl.from(".lastBox", 1, {x:400})

Here's a revised pen:

I should be able to figure this out but -- I wish to animate your colored boxes from the bottom of my banner on the y axis. 
 

Fade in from the bottom sit for a second or two and fade up with the last box fading in and remaining in place. 

 

I tried changing the x: to y: but I am not having success in animating on the y axis like your pen

o.k. - since you want them all to animate on the y axis in the same way, we won't need to use the cycle property. You can go back to a regular stagger.

 

Here's the code:

tl.staggerFrom(".box", 1, { y:400, autoAlpha:0 },3)
tl.staggerTo(".box", 1, { y:-400, autoAlpha:0 },3,2)
tl.from(".lastBox", 1, {y:400})

My revised pen:

Does that help?

 

Happy tweening.

I have a new question you regarding your code pen:

 

See the Pen GqWxgj by PointC (@PointC) on CodePen

 

 

how can I get these animations to run a bit quicker and slightly overlap each other as one animates in and the other animates out.  I have been playing with your code a bit. I tried adding this: '-=0.15'  to the code but it didn't work.
 

var tl = new TimelineMax();
 
tl.staggerFrom(".box", 1, { cycle:{ x:[ -400,400,0,0 ],y:[0,0,-400,400] } },3)
tl.staggerTo(".box", 1, { cycle:{ x:[ 400,-400,0,0 ],y:[0,0,400,-400] },autoAlpha:0 },3,2,'-=0.15' )
tl.from(".lastBox", 1, {x:400})
