Updating a Tween position(x) after its initial completion

[SammyC123]

I've read through the docs, and I understand invalidate() and updateTo(), but I'm unclear on proper implementation (or if they're even a good idea here).

 

My goal is relatively simple: I want an element to continually move from left to right across the viewport (e.g. .fromTo(element, 3, {x:'0%'}, {x:'100%', repeat:-1})).

 

The thing is, for the very first tween, I want the element to start at left: 50%. So on the first pass, it starts in the middle and goes right. Subsequent passes go fully from left to right.

 

Is this a job for updateTo()?  Is there a better implementation?

Hi you can use a timeline to control that effect. Note, that progress is from 0 to 1. So if you having easing effect, you need to find the exact time where the thing is center. Alternatively, you can do also do a double TweenMax.to on a timeline and add labels in between.

 

Note, you can also use x instead of left but I'm just showing the concept. If you need to use x, you can make changes to how your css is styled

Wow, how have I never used .progress() before?!? Amazing. Thanks, man!
