TimelineMax: Is any way to update or change the ease when the animation is reversed?

[Jorge28cr]

Hi Guys, 

I need to change the ease on a timeline on reverse, for example: 

 

var _easeElastic = Elastic.easeOut.config(1, 0.4);

var _easePower2 = Power2.easeOut;

 

function showNuts(){

    _tl2

    .to('#nuts',0,{opacity:1})

    .to('#nuts', 0.4, {opacity:1, top:18, scale:1, ease: _easeElastic})

    .to('#copyNuts', 0.4, {top:87, left:45, scale:1.5, ease: _easeElastic}, '-=0.4')

    .to('.copyNutsFill', 0.3, {fill: "rgb(232,230,1)"}, '-=0.3')

    .to('#copyJerky', 0.4, {top:85, left:21, ease: _easeElastic}, '-=0.4')

    .to('#copySeeds', 0.4, {top:85, left:22, ease: _easeElastic, onComplete:function(){

        TweenLite.delayedCall(2, function(){

           _tl2.updateTo({ease:_easePower2});

           _tl2.reverse()

        });

    }}, '-=0.4')

}

 

I know that updateTo is not part of the TimelimeMax, but that is to explain what I need when the timeline is reversed.

HI and welcome to the GreenSock forums,

 

It really helps if you can provide a very simple demo as explained here: http://greensock.com/forums/topic/9002-read-this-first-how-to-create-a-codepen-demo/

 

What you're asking is a bit tricky so it would help to have some more information.

 

How is the timeline reversed? Does it happen automatically after it is done playing through or can it happen at any time when a user can do something like click a button to make it reverse?

Hi! 
Please see the demo code here:

HI Jorge28cr 

 

We've had a few posts about this topic. Here are a couple that should help.

There's a lot of good information in those threads and they describe a few ways to do this. As Carl mentioned, this is a bit tricky though and I'd probably recommend creating two timelines for the most control. 

 

Happy tweening.
