Stagger from div x y position

[curtiswiens]

I am getting the value of a div x y position thusly:
let c1x = document.querySelector('#c1').getBoundingClientRect().left      
let c1y = document.querySelector('#c1').getBoundingClientRect().top

gsap.from(allcs,{duration:2.8,scale:0,  stagger:{each: 0.1,x: c1x,y: c1y},ease:"quint.out"})

Is there a way to tween from a stage position rather than the object position? I thought that use to be "" vs no quotes. Basically I am trying to have them all tween from a common x y position. Thanks!

Hi curtis,

 

Can you provide a minimal demo? It's really hard to advise without seeing your layout.

Yeah, a minimal demo will help a but here are a few quick notes:

1. Your x and y values should NOT be inside the stagger object. 
2. If you just want to position a bunch of stuff on top of a single element, you might want to look into Flip.fit(). But it's totally fine to use getBoundingClientRect() to do the calculations manually (more hassle, fewer kb).

Thanks guys! this is a rush project but I am going to be up late so will get min demo going.
