Unresolved functions or method: staggerTo()

[Tee 3 Likes (Newbie)]

I'm trying to use TimelineMax, but somehow I get the following error: "Unresolved function or method staggerTo()".

 

That's how I import gsap:

import {TweenMax, TimelineMax, Expo, Quad, Quint} from 'gsap'

 

That's how I use it:

new TimelineMax({onComplete: () => enterHoverAnimationRunning = false})
            .staggerTo(letters, 0.2, {
                ease: Quad.easeIn,
                y: '-100%',
                opacity: 0
            }, 0.04, 0)
            .staggerTo(letters, 0.6, {
                ease: Quint.easeOut,
                startAt: {y: '35%'},
                y: '0%',
                opacity: 1
            }, 0.04, 0.2);

 

EDIT:

Changing it kind of helped, thanks! But I still haven't achieved the effect I want - currently random letters are solely disappearing, but I want them to fly out to the top, and the ease in again from the bottom.

It's hard to say what's wrong by looking at code snippets. The first thing I'd recommend is upgrading to the latest gsap (3.2.6) and the new stagger property.

It's 3.2.6 - what's the latest stagger property? Just `stagger` instead? Is it a plugin I have to register first?

It wasn't readily apparent that you were using GSAP3 since none of your syntax was new. I assumed you were still on GSAP2. With version 3, your code would look something like this:

gsap.timeline({ onComplete: () => (enterHoverAnimationRunning = false) })
  .to(letters, {
      duration: 0.2,
      ease: "power1.in",
      yPercent: -100,
      opacity: 0,
      stagger: 0.04
    }, 0)
  .to(
    letters, {
      duration: 0.6,
      ease: "power4",
      yPercent: 0,
      opacity: 1,
      stagger: 0.04
    }, 0.2);

If that isn't working for you, perhaps you could post a demo? Thanks.

You can find the codepen inside of the initial question!

You can learn more about staggers at greensock.com/stagger. You'd likely benefit from reading about all of the API changes in GSAP 3 like there being no need for anything with Max/Lite in it.

Here's how I'd do it:

I recommend reading my article on writing animations efficiently.
