How to animate an object created as a path?

[Ling Li]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to animate an object that I have created using svg path. The path is wrapped around a "g" group with a class attached to it.

In the example code pen, I can animate the circle, but the custom object does not animate.

What am I doing wrong? I'm a registered greenshock member, so do let me know if I need to use a specific plugin for this work?

Thanks,

Ling

Hi @Ling Li welcome to the forum!

 

You don't need to target the attr, they are exposed directly within GSAP.  There is also no need to call tl.play(), the timeline plays automatically if you do not define otherwise.

 

A few other things

• Your closing </g> tag was outside the </svg> 
• There was an x="0"  attr on your circle, with didn't do anything
