How to give SVG Element Overflow: Hidden ?

[foxhound3311]

I'm trying to have .scene1 slide off the page to the left side of my animation. My goal was to add a property of overflow:hidden to a group named .screen-wrapper. The idea is that once .scene1 slides off the screen it would not be seen beyond the white screen. Sadly this is not working.

When checking out the code it seem to be taking the attribute.

 

Is there a way to-do overflow:hidden, or am i doing it wrong? Any help would be great.

Hi @foxhound3311

 

You just need a mask for the group of screen elements. Here's a fork of your pen.

Masks are quite helpful when animating elements in an SVG. Here is a pen with the basic mechanics:

Hopefully that helps. 

 

Happy tweening.

Ahh, PointC beat me to it. For reference, here is a clipPath example:
