Hi,

 

I have the following code:

 

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/TweenMax.min.js"></script>

<title>1</title>

 

</head>

 

<body>

 

<div id="photo">

<img src="tel.jpg" width="200" height="150"/>

 

</div>

 

<script>

var photo1 = document.getElementById("photo");

//or use jQuery's $("#photo")

console.log(photo1);

TweenMax.to(photo1, 8.5, {width : 80});

</script>

</body>

</html>

 

And all resources are found via google chrome dev tools, however nothing happens. This example is right off the getting started page. What could be the problem?

 

Thanks,

Jim

OK I figured out the problem. I was trying to tween the div tag and not the image tag. So rewriting just the contents inside the body tags:

 

<div>

<img id="photo" src="tel.jpg" width="200" height="150"/>

</div>

<script>

var photo1 = document.getElementById("photo");

//or use jQuery's $("#photo")

console.log(photo1);

TweenMax.to(photo1, 18.5, {width:80});

</script>

 

Notice the id attribute is now part of the image itself and no longer the div tag. I hope this helps someone else.

Hi Carl,

 

Thanks for the welcome!

 

I actually have a new problem, I can't figure out. The url is:

http://jpf.jp22.net/1.htm

 

I have 3 buttons that respond to click events and the last button should bring the image back to its original size. However the image keeps getting larger. I used some proprietary tags inside the <img> so as to always get back the original size. I want variables here not fixed numbers.

 

I also send the values of iw and ih to the console.log and they never change, which is good thing.

 

But something is still wrong?

Ok so this is pretty simple, your reset_me() function is using a relative tween.

 

Your HTML element attributes are actually String values, so h1="150" & w1="200".

To define a relative value instead of absolute, preface the value with “+=” or “-=” and make it a String. Previously, you only needed to cast as a String, but since Javascript often uses values that contain characters, like “150px”, casting as a String won’t suffice. So, for example:

//OLD
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {x:"100"});
//NEW:
Tweenlite.to(mc, 1, {x:"+=100"});

//OLD:
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {x:"-100"});
//NEW:
TweenLite.to(mc, 1, {x:"-=100"});

In ActionScript the old way still works, but it is deprecated.

 

Since 'width' and 'height' of img tags are basic numeric values this works the old way, however it is still recommended to use the "+=" "-=" syntax since the old way is deprecated.

 

To use an absolute tween you'll need to convert from String to Number. Change reset_me() to use

var h1 = parseInt(photo2.getAttribute("ih"), 10);
var w1 = parseInt(photo2.getAttribute("iw"), 10);

and you should be back in business.
