Hello,

I was wondering if the kinetic plugin wrapper worked for value arrays passed to the 'bezier' function.

 

So far, I have tried variations on this:

TweenMax.to(circle3, 5, {bezier:{type:"soft", kinetic : {values:[{x:100, y:250}, {x:300, y:0}, {x:500, y:400}]}, autoRotate:true}, ease:Power1.easeInOut});
		

but am getting syntax errors.

 

Perhaps a bit more cluelessly I tried

var myObject = new Array();
myObject.push(kinetic:{x:100, y:250});
myObject.push(kinetic:{x:300, y:0});
myObject.push(kinetic:{x:500, y:400});
	  

Until I realized that kinetic is just a property recognized by a particular set of functions.

 

What would be the best way to :

a) Wrap the array of kinetic properties

B) Dynamically add kinetic properties to an array of such

?

 

I should mention that :

 TweenMax.to(circle3, 5, {bezier:{type:"soft", values:[{setX:100, setY:250}, {setX:300, setY:0}, {setX:500, setY:400}], autoRotate:true}, onUpdate:drawLayer, ease:Power1.easeInOut});
	  

works, but I wasn't sure if the drawLayer call would add some inefficiency to the animation pipeline compared to the Kinetic JS Wrapper.

Thanks so much for your help. I bought a perpetual developer license to show my support. Keep up the great work.

 

 

Best,
T.

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

Special thanks for supporting us with your license purchase.

 

Take a look at this codepen example here:

 

http://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/45f59a0f6959d99c2c6ebcff67f53050

 

It uses the KineticPlugin and a bezier tween. 

 

The trick is that all the Bezier information must be wrapped in a kinetic object

 

var bezTween = new TweenMax(creature, 6, {
  kinetic: {
    bezier: {
      type: "soft",
      values:  [{x:150,  y:300}, {x:300, y:-10}, {x:500, y:320}, {x:650, y:320}, {x:900, y:100}, {x:1100, y:500}],
      autoRotate: ["setX", "setY", "setRotationDeg"]
    }
  },
  ease: Linear.easeNone
});

Let us know if you need more help.
