Hey everyone,

 

lets say I have a div with text inside.

tweening the scaleX squishes the text inside

but tweening the width, correctly only animates the div..

TweenMax.to(header, 2,  {delay: 2.2, width:"0px"});
//vs
TweenMax.to(header2, 1, {scaleX: .5, delay:.2,transformOrigin:"0% 0%"});  

Ques: Is there a way to scale using transform/scale without scaling the text inside the division or is that just how CSS works...

 

on initial search, i didnt see this discussed elsewhere

 

Thanks in advance,

The trick here is to increase the scale of the contents to compensate the decrease in scale of the parent.

 

Something like:

Although, it's not perfect (the easing is a bit off), but it should give you somewhere to go from.

 

Also note that text wrapping won't work correctly because you're stretching it, as opposed to adjusting the width.
