Hi, I'm having a issue with TimelineMax.

 

I've created a timeline that opens and closes the drawer in my navigation. It works, but eventually if the first time I move the mouse above the navigation elements (that triggers the animation), one of the timelines doesn't work anymore.

 

I'm executing the timeline on mouseenter triggered by the main navigation items. Then I'm playing the timeline reversed when it's triggered a mouseleave by the container of the entire navigation.

 

You can see the working example in the following video (password: codepen).

 

 

 

The problem happens when I move quickly the mouse over the navigation items. I managed to film it in this video (password: codepen)

 

 

And here the video that shows the error (password: codepen)

I've slowed up the animation and I found out that moving the mouse on the elements doesn't restart the first tween of the timeline. 

 

In other words, the first tween of the three timelines is executed on the same HTML element. If I start playing timeline A and before the first tween ends I play timeline B, the first tween of B doesn't start from the beginning (even though is a fromTo), but it keeps from where timeline A left.

 

Once the tween on the first element is complete, the timeline is broken and the fromTo doesn't work anymore.

 

Here is the structure for all the three timelines:

 

.fromTo(container, 0.3, { x: "0%" }, { x: "100%" })
.staggerTo(items, 0.1, { opacity: 1 }, 0.1);

 

See the video (password: codepen)

 

 

See the codepen below.
