Hi Guys,

I have 4 fullscreen sections on a page (using fullpage.js). I'm trying to animate the background gradient of the body every time users scroll through each section. Animation duration should be tied to the scrollbar position. I have pre-set colors to use for each section that I have put into an array. 

 

My idea is to get the id of the section currently in view and pass this into the colorize function to get the corresponding colors for the gradient. I'm stuck here. 

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @jp_uk81 :)

 

Welcome to the forum and thanks for being a member of Club GreenSock.

 

Since you want the gradient based on user scroll, I think in this case it will be better to create a second scene that animates only the gradient. Then you can focus on each section animation and whatever happens on those timelines without worrying about adding the gradient tween to them. I think something like this should work.

If you were using the actual tween duration for the gradient change, then I'd say trigger it at each section. Hopefully that helps. Or at least points you in the right direction.

 

Happy tweening and welcome aboard.

:)
