Hide / Show sections issues

I am trying to transition between 2 <section> elements which is not working correctly.

All my other code works great, it's just this gsap part giving me grief.

 

I am passing the fromSection and toSection into a function see below, I am wanting the fromSection to fade away and hide the element, then show the toSection with elastic ease. The issue seems to be with the hide() not being applied on each onComplete and the new section with display:none still active.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm a little unsure what you're trying to accomplish. You really shouldn't use onComplete like that. Just use a timeline with .set(). There's no need for jQuery.

 

And what are you expecting to happen with an elastic ease? Look at what it does.

Opacity can only go to a value of 1. An elastic ease is just going to make your element blink. Eases that go beyond 1 will most likely not look good for properties like opacity or color.

 

You can use a timeline to animate x, y with an elastic ease, and opacity with a different ease.

 

But I don't know why you are trying to animate x and y to 0 when x and y are already at 0. Are you trying to do FLIP animation?

So this is what the opacity value is going to look like over time. It shoots up to 1, and then fades in and out a couple of times.

@OSUblake Could you give me an example of using the the timeline set based on my code?

Also my code has the opacity between 0 and 1, not sure i understand where your getting that from.

 

I am trying to have one section fade out and hide and the other appear. 

 

Sorry this is all new to me and I am still learning. 

Thanks

Yes, but they are both visible.

Yeah, but you're using an ease that takes that value beyond 1.

You're code has a bunch conflicting stuff going on in it, but going on the code you currently have, it would be like this.

 

gsap.timeline()
.to('#' + fromSection,
  {
    x: 0,
    y: 0,
    duration: 0.5,
    opacity: 0,
    ease: "power3"
  }
)
.set('#' + fromSection, { display: "none" })
.set('#' + toSection, { display: "block", opacity: 0 })

@OSUblake Ok thanks for the tips.

 

I have updated the codepen example, i have the old section fading out and sliding and the new section needs to come in the elastic bounce this is what i am trying to achieve. Would I need to put the ease out side the {} on the fromTo() action?

It's just like if you were to animate x on an element to say like 100. It's going to animate the x value to something beyond 100, and then to a value below 100, and then to a value beyond 100, and then to value below 100, etc until it settles on 100.

Please create a new fork for every revision, and post the fork.

You still have conflicting animations going on. Your timeline and the toSection tween are starting at the same time . Just put everything on 1 timeline.

 

And I'm still not sure of how this supposed to look. Where does the new section come from? I'm sorry, but what you're trying to does not make any sense to me.

gsap.fromTo(
  "section#" + toSection,
  {
    x: 0,
    y: 0,
    opacity: 0
  },
  {
    x: 0,
    y: 0,
    opacity: 1,
    duration: 1.5,
    ease: "power3"
  }
);

The element is already at a value of x = 0 and y = 0. That does nothing.
