Hello there!

I had a quick question about loading scripts for GSAP.

 

I find myself loading lots of scripts and I feel like I will be losing out on a lot of speed for my website.

 

        <script src="js/jquery-3.1.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="js/ScrollMagic.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="js/TweenMax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="js/plugins/animation.gsap.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="js/plugins/debug.addIndicators.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="js/DrawSVGPlugin.js"></script>
        <script src="js/TimelineMax.js"></script>
        <script src="svg_js.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
 
is there something I am missing? ie, a way of not using so many?
 
Cheers

Hi erayner_45092  :)

 

I'd recommend a CDN whenever possible so you'll get the benefit of caching. You can load jQuery, GSAP and ScrollMagic via a CDN. Here are some links:

//GSAP
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.19.1/TweenMax.min.js"></script> 

//ScrollMagic
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ScrollMagic/2.0.5/ScrollMagic.min.js"></script> 
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ScrollMagic/2.0.5/plugins/debug.addIndicators.min.js"></script> 
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ScrollMagic/2.0.5/plugins/animation.gsap.js"></script> 

//jQuery
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 

Loading TimelineMax is redundant as it's included with TweenMax. The following are included with TweenMax:

  • TweenLite
  • TweenMax
  • TimelineLite
  • TimelineMax
  • CSSPlugin
  • AttrPlugin
  • RoundPropsPlugin
  • DirectionalRotationPlugin
  • BezierPlugin
  • EasePack

DrawSVG is a Club plugin so there is no CDN. You'll have to load that one yourself, but I'd recommend the minified version.

 

Hopefully that helps.

 

Happy tweening.

That is necessary if you're using ScrollMagic and you want it to have control over your tweens. It's not immediately apparent why you need it, but without it all the tweens will just start playing before you scroll.

 

You'll also want to make certain you load it after TweenMax. We had a recent post about problems and that was the issue. The animation.gsap.js file won't work correctly if you load it before TweenMax.

 

Here's a link to the docs.

Happy tweening.
