On first click animation plays smooth, subsequent clicks causes delay on start

[jknott]

I have a button that when clicked, triggers my timeline to play.

 

There is no delay on start and on the first click it works fine.  On subsequent clicks, it takes time for the animation to start.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

I've tried triggering the animation with just TL.restart() and also having an onComplete function that sets the timeline's progress to 0 and pauses it.  Any idea how I remove that delay on subsequent clicks?

Code here:

var tl = new TimelineMax({paused: true, onComplete: resetTl});  
TweenMax.set('.fab', {perspective: 200})

tl.to('#sendplane', 1, {rotation: -20, opacity: 0, x: '+=100', ease: Elastic.easeIn.config(1, .9), onComplete: resetPlane})
.to('.fab', .25, {scale: 1.2, boxShadow: '0px 7px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)'}, '-=.8')
.to('.fab', 2, {rotationY: -360, ease: Elastic.easeIn.config(1, .9)}, '-=1.8')  
.fromTo('.checkmark', .5, {drawSVG: '0%'}, {drawSVG: '100%'})
.to('.fab', 2, {rotationY: 360, ease: Elastic.easeIn.config(1, .9)}) 
.to('.checkmark', .2, {opacity: 0}, '-=1.1')
.to('#sendplane', 1, {x: '+=100',opacity: 1}, '-=.4')
.to('.fab', .25, {scale: 1,boxShadow: '0px 0px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.3)'})

function resetPlane(){
  TweenMax.set('#sendplane', {x:'-=200', rotation: 0, opacity: 1})
}
function resetTl(){
  tl.progress(0)
  tl.pause()
}

document.getElementById('fab').addEventListener('click', function(){
  tl.play()
  //I've also tried tl.restart() and it still has a delay.
})

Hi jknott 

 

Looks to me like the problem is coming from the third tween in your timeline. You're setting the position parameter to a relative value of "-=1.8", but that puts it before the start of the timeline. If you adjust that offset, I think you should be just fine.

 

Happy tweening.

Ah geez! I knew it had to be something simple like that! Thanks for your help
