TextPlugin animating span tags

I know the TextPlugin is not supposed to support nested HTML tags, but I'm trying to tween the colours of a paragraph, which doesn't animate the styled word's letters individually.

 

Wondered if there was a way around this? 

 

Unfortunately, I am not allowed to use SplitText for this project, otherwise I would have.

 

Thanks

The concept is the same. You should still split the container (#Headline_Copy) by words and letters, loop through each word, and append the letter animations to a timeline like mikel shows.

 

Here's a new method which depends on the whole string being grouped into spans, i'm nearly there:

The questions I have are: How can I make the timeline loop through the spans array and animate all the words at adjusted speeds? There is also a delay at the beginning. Thanks!

If you want to loop you need to use a loop :) 

 

 

 

 

Sure I will go down that route, I was just checking there wasn't a built-in method. GSAP usually tweens arrays automatically, but I realise this is more complex

 

Do you know how I can time the tweens of each word to match as if the sentence was being Tweened? Eg: the word IS would animate quicker than SOMETHING

 

By the way: I am not using SplitText for this

My demo already does that as it's based on the number of characters in each word.

If you want to spend your time recreating and maintaining tools that GSAP already has, that's on you :) Using SplitText makes this sort of thing easier so I used it. We believe that you'd find all of the Club GreenSock plugins to be huge time savers. Most of the time people find that a membership pays for itself in a matter of days.

I'd love to use SplitText, but the ad server I'm developing for only like Google hosted JS, hence TextPlugin
