how to control timeline in function?

[Sandschieber]

I have different animations and need therefore timelines in function, that's how I understood it, anyway.

 

Now I like to control about the timelines in these functions and dont know how to do that.

 

Here are two Codepen examples:

first without Function is running, but I need to get the second one running.

 

without function:

 

and with function:

Hello buddy

 

Welcome to GreenSock Forum!

 

I don't know what exactly what to do with your problem! You said you want to control the functions but you've already did!
Please elaborate your question and what exactly you want for the animation.

Thanks for the demos. Very helpful.

As i understand the issue, this is just the way scope works in JS. You can't access variables defined in functions. What I would recommend is that your function that creates the timeline also returns it like so:

function resetTl(){
  isActiveTL.restart();
}


function isactiveAnimation(){
TweenLite.set(isactiveCt)
  TweenLite.set(logo, {left:0});
var tl = new TimelineMax();
  tl.to(logo, 0.8, {left:"+=300",opacity:0.2});
  return tl;
}


//isActiveTL is now the timeline that isactiveAnimatio() creates and returns
var isActiveTL = isactiveAnimation();

Carl is right!

This is my other solution!

CODEPEN: 

See the Pen XjrbWQ by Waren_Gonzaga (@Waren_Gonzaga) on CodePen

 

var
  logo	= $("#logo"),
	isactiveCt = $(".isactive");

isactiveAnimation();

function resetTl(){
   init();
}

function init() {
  TweenLite.set(isactiveCt)
  TweenLite.set(logo, {left:0, onComplete: isactiveAnimation});
}

function isactiveAnimation(){
	var isactiveTL = new TimelineMax();
  isactiveTL.to(logo, 0.8, {left:"+=300",opacity:0.2});
}

$(".bt").click(function() {
  resetTl();
})

Hope it helps!
