How do I execute a function after an animation has completed?

 

I've got a simple animation:

I grab an element, and then I animate it.

 

Lets say my animation function is called changeState().  I want to do this sequence:

 

1. changeState()

2. selectNextElement()

3. changeState()

 

selectNextElement() should only run once changeState() has completed it's animation sequence.

Here's my stub for changeState:


// get current block and animate it
function changeState() {
    var currentBlock = $(".current") ;
   
    // colortween the current block
    var tl = new TimelineMax() ;
    tl.to(
        currentBlock, 1, { backgroundColor:"rgb(205,151,20)" }
    )
        .to(
            currentBlock, 1, { backgroundColor:"rgb(152, 129, 74)" }
        ) ;
}

You can add an onComplete callback to the timeline OR the last tween. 

In your case I would just put it in the constructor of the timeline like so:

var tl = new TimelineMax({onComplete:someFunction}) ;
tl.to(elem, 0.2, {left:200});

function someFunction() {
  console.log("animation complete");
}

You can also pass in parameters and scope (if necessary)

See the TimelineLite / TimelineMax special properties section of the docs for all the details: http://api.greensock.com/js/

You can use the onComplete property to do this:

// get current block and animate it
function changeState() {
    var currentBlock = $(".current") ;
   
    // colortween the current block
    var tl = new TimelineMax({ onComplete: selectNextElement }}) ;
    tl.to(
        currentBlock, 1, { backgroundColor:"rgb(205,151,20)" }
    )
    .to(
        currentBlock, 1, { backgroundColor:"rgb(152, 129, 74)" }
    ) ;
}

function selectNextElement() {
    // code here
}

I tried detecting completion without TimelineMax by putting the onComplete property into the first animation, but it doesn't work for me:

 

window.onload = function(){
    var logo = document.getElementById("logo");
    TweenLite.to(logo,1, {left:"440px", ease:Power1.easeOut, onCompleteParams:a1});
    }

function a1(){
    TweenLite.to(logo, 1, {left:"0px"});
    } // a1

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

Without a live sample and by looking to the code you posted, all I can see is that you are using the onCompleteParams to pass the method you want to be called when the animation is completed. You need to use onComplete and pass the function's name or variable holding an anonymous function:

 

window.onload = function(){
  var logo = document.getElementById("logo");
  TweenLite.to(logo,1, {
    left:"440px", ease:Power1.easeOut,
    onComplete:a1
  });
}

function a1(){
  TweenLite.to(logo, 1, {left:"0px"});
}

 

Try that code and let us know if it works. Also I'd recommend you to check the official documentation to learn the difference between onComplete and onCompleteParams. Follow the next link and scroll down to the part that says: Special properties, eases and callbacks (no plugins required)

Happy Tweening!!
