Using TextPlugin with Repeat

Hi all

 

I'm trying to animate the "writing" of random text on repeat.

 

Here's what I came up with so far:

 

gsap.to('#text', {duration:10, repeat:-1, repeatRefresh:true, text:{value:rndstr(27)}})

 

rndstr(x) is a custom function that returns a random string of lenght x.

 

This works fine the first time it's running (it fills the div with a random 27-char string as expected, however it doesn't seem to repeat (or at least it won't fetch a new string on repeat).

 

Is my use of "repeatRefresh" not sufficient to have gsap fetch a new string? What am I missing?

A function to call on every refresh.

gsap.to('#textbox1', {
  duration: 1, // duration should be a number, not a string
  repeat:-1, 
  repeatRefresh:true, 
  ease:"none", 
  text:{value: () => rndstr(20)}
})
