How to form dynamic animation functions with TimeLine

[codeavenger 1 Likes (Newbie)]

I have several elements which will be using the same animation functions.  So I want to have a timeline for animating 20 px to the left for instance.  How do I pass in the element to the timeline without knowing before hand which element will need to be moved?  I imagine the most efficient way is to not create a new timeline variable each time which what I think is throwing me for a loop.

This is my first day trying Greensock so be gentle.

ok, I got it!  http://jsfiddle.net/ccarterc1984/6LQhJ/1/

I had not capitalized TimelineMax correctly and not used quotes on the property for relative positioning.

Yep, exactly right. Good job figuring it out. And welcome to GSAP - I think once you get past the initial learning curve, you'll love it.
