Repeating fromTo without using Timeline

[friendlygiraffe]

I'm trying to create a simple looping fade, without using a timeline or onComplete function calls.

 

is this possible?

 

This doesn't work, but I'd like something similar to this. Fade from 0 and then back to 0 with a 2 second delay?:

TweenMax.fromTo("#circle", 0.5, {autoAlpha:0}, {autoAlpha:0, repeat:-1, repeatDelay:2});

Thanks

I think you just need to set yoyo true and make sure that both autoAlpha values are not 0. like:

TweenMax.fromTo("#circle", 0.5, {autoAlpha:0}, {autoAlpha:1, repeat:-1, yoyo:true, repeatDelay:2});

Actually, I marked that as solved, but what I really wanted was the repeatDelay to be the duration the object is not visible.

 

Not the duration of the object staying visible.

 

Would I have to use a timeline for that ?

A timeline might be the most intuitive way but technically you could use a SlowMo with yoyoMode set to true (to make it end where it begins) like

 

TweenMax.fromTo("#circle", 1, {autoAlpha:0}, {autoAlpha:1, repeat:-1, yoyo:true, repeatDelay:2, 
ease:SlowMo.ease.config(0.01, 0.7, true)});

A CustomEase would give you more configuration options like: https://greensock.com/ease-visualizer?CustomEase=M0,0%20C0,0%200.504,0.988%200.504,0.988%200.504,0.988%201,0%201,0

That's great to know. Thanks a lot Carl
