Hi @Vinod

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

You'll need to use 'x' instead of 'left' with your SVG and 'fill' instead of 'color'. Your distance of 524 will also be outside the viewBox. Please try this:

TweenLite.to(logo, 2, {x:100, fill:"black"});

 

Hopefully that helps, Happy tweening.

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums,

 

Thanks for the demo. Very helpful.

An important thing to keep in mind is that you can only animate properties that the browsers and various CSS and SVG specifications allow you to.

 

The target of your tween is an svg <path> and paths don't have left or color properties.

 

In your demo, try adding this css:

 

#lettere {
  color:black;
  left:100px;
}

 

You will notice that it won't have any affect on the svg path.

 

However you can change the position of a path by applying a css transform like transform:translateX(100px); to do that in GSAP you would just animate the x value.  To change the color of a path you would animate it's fill

 

var logo = document.getElementById("lettere");
TweenLite.to(logo, 2, {x:100, fill:"black"});
