Relative values referring variables

[Gilbert 5 Likes (Newbie)]

Let's say I have this animation:

 

tl.to('.video-react-video', {left: '-=325px', duration: 1, ease: "back.out(2.5)"}, 9);

 

How can I replace left: '-=325px' with left: '-=someVar'  

 

I tried creating a variable as 

 

const someVar = '325px'; and then use it as 

tl.to('.video-react-video', {left: '-=someVar', duration: 1, ease: "back.out(2.5)"}, 9); 

 

but it doesn't work. What would be the right syntax?

Hi @Gilbert,

 

For a dynamic value you’ll want to do something like 

 

Quote

left: “-=“+someVar,
