Hi All, I have a site where I have a horizontally styles un-ordered list (<ul>), my site dynamically adds items to the list based on user interactions. For each new item in the list, I have applied a Draggable.create call to make them draggable in the Y axis (vertical), I also apply an animation Tween on the item so it bounces into place. This all works fine! Im using this code for that: //add to the UL $(".cardList").prepend(newDiv); //animate the card into place TweenLite.from(newDiv, 0.5, { y: -250, ease: Elastic.easeOut }); Draggable.create(newDiv, { type: "y", onDrag: function () { //my code... }, onDragEnd: function () { //my code... } }); However, when there are a lot of items in the list, I would like to scroll the list horizontally, so I wrapped up my list into a DIV container and called: var scroller = new Draggable("#cardsContainer", { type: "scrollLeft", edgeResistance: 1.0 }); ...which 'kind of' works. I currently have 2 issues: 1) I can add a new item into the list and I can see that the scrollbar on the scroller increases, but from time to time, the scroller "snaps back" prematurely, so effectively you can never scroll to the end of the list. It simply stops scrolling, it looks like the animation I am using to add the new items to the list could have some effect on the calculation of the width of the scroller? 2) When I click and drag the scroller (when it does work), the items in the list which can scroll vertically move slightly up/down, can I have some kind of check to see if the user is scrolling left/right and NOT enable the vertical scroller based on some threshold? I hope that makes sense

Hey, when I zoom in it zooms to the top left. I can scroll back to where I was centered, but is there a way to change the registration point? When I zoom in to a specific spot by moving top:-x, left:-x it crops off the top left. Would a better way, than changing the registration point, be appending the bounding box? I tried a couple suggestions with adding draggable, but in all the demos it required something for only paid members. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello All, I am developing an app on android using phone gap. I am using timelinemax for animation. My animation is like this : one object is animating along with scroll animation. Animation works fine after scroll is completed. when both run simultaneously then object animation is poor. Is there any workaround for this ? Android Tested : 4.0 to 4.2 My second concern is that how we can achieve more smooth animation by force3D = TRUE or by Tweenmax.set(obj,{z:0.1}); ? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys, firstly, let me thank you for this fantastic animation platform. Discovering it was simply jaw-dropping experience that changed my life as a developer. I am now playing around with page that will have multiple animations triggered on particular scroll position. I decided to not use any parallax plugins that work on mobile, because they appeared to be slow. Basically, I want to animate some DOM elements when they come in to the view. I tested it in all browsers and it works fine, even on iOS, but sometimes it is acting a bit weird. I have problems only on iOS. I haven't tested any android, i don't have any. When you scroll slowly to the desired element, it animates just fine. But sometimes when you scroll faster, it appears in final position, but without an animation. Sometimes just part of an animation happens. I would like to understand whats going on there. Can you help me please, or at least point me to the right direction? I am using latest version of GSAP, tested on iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 and iPad 3. I was able to recreate the issue on iOS simulator as well. I am attaching example code. Many thanks! scrolltest.zip

I'm trying to use Superscrollorama to animate some stuff on a webpage. The content only animates inside a specific div on the page, so I want the user to be able to scroll the page normally until that section is reached, then pause the page scrolling while keeping the scrollable animation. Once the animation has completed, they would continue scrolling down the page. I've tried using the pin functionality, but my div that contains the animations stays put while the rest of the page still scrolls. So I set it to pin the whole content of the page, and adjusted the offset so it wouldn't start until the user got to the animated section. This seems to be the right direction, but when I get to that scroll point, it jumps me back to the top of the page for some reason. If I jerk the scroll bar down past that point it seems to sort of work. Here's my code I have thus far: var controller = $.superscrollorama(), animatedContent = $('#content'); controller.pin(animatedContent, 1000, { anim: (new TimelineLite()) .append( TweenMax.to($('#water_color'), .5, {css:{height:0}}) ), offset: 400 }); And the HTML looks like this <body id="whats_new" includeLocalCSS="true" includeLocalJS="true" class="innovation reflex wide"> <section class="hero_area"> <div class="image_background"> <img src="fake.jpg"> </div> <div class="hero_overlay"> <div class="container_12"> <section class="demo top_blue_border grid_12"> <div id="animated_content"> <div id="text_intro" class="animation_copy"> <h2 class="type-light">Engineered to<br>Move with You</h2> <div class="top_blue_border"></div> <p>blah blah</p> </div> <div id="water_color"> <img id="blue_bar" src="sample.png" alt=""> </div> <div id="base_image"> <img src="sample.jpg"> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </section> </body> The animated content div is where the animations actually happen and are about 600 pixels down the page.

I have created a sample for it: http://codepen.io/vincentccw/pen/vLIGh If you look into my javascript panel I have 2set of codes, one using jquery and GSAP another is just jquery(comment out). The code will be active once use scroll down using mouse wheel. My question is how do I use scrollTop but completely in GSAP? As I think GSAP is more readable and animate faster and most importantly I can set up more complex animation at the same time.

Hello, i am new to superscrollorama. I want to disable an animation when you scroll up. I found the code on the website but it doesn't work for me: The 5th parameter is reverse, which you can use to disable reverse animation. controller.addTween('#fade', TweenMax.from($('#fade'),.5,{ css:{opacity:0}}), 200, false); // prevent backwards animation of the element What am i doing wrong?

Hello again, I'm now moving on to the menu. How do I setup the menu (styled it etc..), so what I want is that once you click on a menubutton it auto scrolls down to that page/section. And my question is. How do I do that? Because when I look at the demo of this I don't see any demo with an actual functioning menu. There is a lot about effects and animations, but nothing in it about how to make all of that work with a navigation also. Does anyone got some kind of tutorial on 'How to make a menu that scroll to page/section'? Maybe there is a tutorial somewhere that I have missed?

Hi all! Today I was trying to execute some instructions on manual scroll event, avoiding the scroll animation performed by TweenMax. I attempted to initialize a boolean variable, which is false during the TweenMax animation and is restored to true "onComplete". On $(window).on("scroll") I checked the status of the variable. I found out that a scroll even was triggered even when my status variable was already returned to true: after some tests, it turns out that it's TweenMax itself. I tried on an empty page, reporting the following code in Firebug console, and looks like after the "hi" reported by TweenMax onComplete, another scroll event is triggered. $(window).on("scroll", function(){console.log ("scroll");}); TweenMax.to(window, 1, { scrollTo: { y: 500 }, ease: Linear.easeNone, onComplete: function () { console.log("hi!"); } }); I wouldn't expect this behavior: why does this happen? Thanks in advance! Massi

Hello! First of all: Thank you for your great work! I`m trying to move a dynamic TextField from the bottom of the screen to the top and it works. It runs nice and smoothly on my PC. The problem starts when I run the .swf on a target, which is not as powerful as my developement PC. The text animation becomes quite choppy. I tried several things (cache text as bitmap via BitmapData, using TweenLite and now using BlitMask) to improove the performance and I could manage to get 11-12 FPS on the target hardware. That`s "ok".. but it would be nice to squeeze out some more FPS. Globally I define a Blitmask: var txtMask:BlitMask = null; I initialize it: txtMask = new BlitMask(txtMessage, 0, 680, movieWidth, textAreaHeight,true); ...and start the animation: txtMessage.text = msg; txtMessage.y = movieHeight; txtMessage.height = txtMessage.textHeight + 4; txtMask.update(null, true); TweenLite.to(txtMessage, Number((txtMessage.height + textAreaHeight) / textScrollSpeed), {y:(movieHeight - textAreaHeight - txtMessage.height),onComplete:onTextScrollFinish, ease:Linear.easeNone,onUpdate:txtMask.update,useFrames:false,immediateRender:true}); I also tried to tween the scrollY attribute of the BlitMask, but this didn't change anything (as expected). So I guess I just wanted to ask if someone has an idea how I could further inprove the performance of the TextField animation. Would it help to try the ThrowProps plugin? Thank you for your time

Hello, I'm just starting with TweenLite and I have a very basic question: I tween a movieclip in a mouseup event (it is a simple scroll), using this: TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {throwProps:{x:200, y:0}, ease:Strong.easeOut}); The effect looks good, but I need to limit the movieclip "mc" X. The mc may have a maximum X value of 0, and a minimum of -1500, so I can tween the mc without showing the background under the mc. Is there any way to limit the tween or to stop the tween when the mc reach the limits? Thank you very much.

Hello, I love your products and everything Greensock stands for. Your products are top-notch, and the customer service is as good as the Kinko's customer service is bad. GreenSock customer service is like "Bizzaro Kinko's Customer Service." In other works: GreenSock - "Totes Awesome Sauce" Kinko's - "The Hangover 2 & Indiana Jones 4, kind of awful" I am trying to come up with the most efficient and "zazzy-licious" way to put in the background of one of my website page, the scrolling code that you see on computer screens in the background of movies and tv shows. I'm not sure if I want just pure binary (1's and 0's) or letters and numbers. I figured that I would find about 500 ka-trillion Google results showing different ways of doing this in various languages, but alas, I didn't really find much of anything. I'm using the Greensock Javascript libraries (v.12) and the latest version of Raphael.Js. I don't really need anyone to show me how to do this, by providing a working example (at least, not yet). I'm really looking for a broad outline of the steps I would need to take to accomplish this task in the most code efficient and least taxing burden on the browser way possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sweet J

Hello, I have an element whose opacity is being changed based on scroll position. No problem there. When the element is in the scroll range, I want it to loop an animation only while within the scroll position range. The looping the animation part is what I'm having trouble with. I tried calling a function, using onComplete, etc. Here is the timeline: var tlwhoweareGreen = new TimelineMax({paused:true}); tlwhoweareGreen.append( TweenLite.to($("div#whoweare-green"), 1, {css:{opacity:1, autoAlpha:1}}) ); /*I've been trying to append the timeline or call a function here. Once the opacity has been set to 1, I want it to loop back to zero and back to one, infinitely until the the user has scrolled outside the range*/ Here is the scroll function: $(window).scroll(function() { var getVert = $(this).scrollTop(); console.log(getVert); var getHor = $(this).scrollLeft(); function scrollTween(startPoint, endPoint, tweenName, type) { var progressNumber; if(type == 'vertical') { progressNumber = (1 / (endPoint - startPoint)) * (getVert - startPoint); } else if (type == 'horizontal') { progressNumber = (1 / (endPoint - startPoint)) * (getHor - startPoint); } if (progressNumber >= 0 && progressNumber <= 1) { tweenName.progress(progressNumber); } else if(progressNumber < 0) { tweenName.progress(0); } else if(progressNumber > 1) { tweenName.progress(1); } } scrollTween(400, 800, tlwhoweareGreen, 'vertical'); $("div#whoweare-green").css("display", "block"); }); }); </script>

Hi Jack I was surprised to discover the amazing site, GreenSock and feel secured because I'm a novice in AS3. I gladly signed up. I hope this membership will help me learning AS3. I got stuck on my first project, making the clickable scroll for my NewiPad. I inserted my clickable movie-clip (vertical) inside the code from the Flick-scrolling example and tested the scroll on my New iPad. It worked well but the problem is that clicking my movie-clip and dragging the scroll conflict. When I scroll, I only want it to trigger the scroll event. Right now mouse click event and scroll event are firing at the same time. So I switched all the mouse click events into the touch events but still the same problem occurs. I only want that click event or touch event fired when I tap the button not drag the scroll. Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks. question_about_coflict01.zip

I am trying to figure out how to use greensock to tween to another anchor point on the page. Does anyone know how to do this. Thanks.

I am trying to setup a menu which uses the scrollTo plugin to move to different sections of a one page site, with a menu bar at each section. The html looks like this: <div id="bg"> <div id="section1"> <div id="menubar"> <div id="logo"> </div> <div id="vertline"> </div> <button id="whoweare">WHO WE ARE</button> <button id="whatwedo">WHAT WE DO</button> ... <div id="section2"> <div id="menubar2"> <div id="logo"> </div> <div id="vertline"> </div> <button id="whoweare">WHO WE ARE</button> <button id="whatwedo">WHAT WE DO</button> ....... The style like this: #bg{ height:8000px; background:url(images/background.png); margin: auto; } #section1 { height: 800px; } #section2 { height: 800px; } #menubar { position: relative; height: 50px; border-bottom: 1px solid; border-color: #022e2f; } #menubar2 { position: relative; height: 50px; border-bottom: 1px solid; border-color: #022e2f; } #logo { width: 76px; height: 34px; margin-left: 25px; margin-right: 25px; background-image:url(images/logo.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #vertline { width: 1px; height: 200px; position:absolute; top: 0px; left: 120px; background-color: #022e2f; } #whoweare { position:absolute; top: 10px; left: 145px; color: #fff; font-family: "HelveticaNeueBold", "HelveticaNeue-Bold", "Helvetica Neue Bold", "HelveticaNeue", "Helvetica Neue", 'TeXGyreHerosBold', "Helvetica", "Tahoma", "Geneva", "Arial", sans-serif; font-weight:600; font-stretch:normal; font-size: 14px; background-color: transparent; } #whatwedo { position:absolute; top: 10px; left: 280px; color: #fff; font-family: "HelveticaNeueBold", "HelveticaNeue-Bold", "Helvetica Neue Bold", "HelveticaNeue", "Helvetica Neue", 'TeXGyreHerosBold', "Helvetica", "Tahoma", "Geneva", "Arial", sans-serif; font-weight:600; font-stretch:normal; font-size: 14px; background-color: transparent; }#bg{ height:8000px; background:url(images/background.png); margin: auto; } The script looks like this: <script> $(document).ready(function(){ TweenMax.set(window, {scrollTo:0}); $("button#whoweare").click(function() { var section1 = $("div#section1").offset().top; TweenLite.to(window, 1.5, {scrollTo:section1, ease:Back.easeOut}); }); $("button#whatwedo").click(function() { var section2 = $("div#section2").offset().top; TweenLite.to(window, 1.5, {scrollTo:section2, ease:Back.easeOut}); }); }); </script> .... On the first menu the "whatwedo" button works, and will scroll to the second menu. But the second menu doesn't work. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks! Zach

So I have been searching for a way to have a background orbit a center. I came across the greensock blitmask that does an amazing job of wrapping the bitmap data to do infinte scrolling effects. However, I can't figure out a way to use this blitmask to rotate and still have the wrapping effect. I attached a SWF file to demostrate what i'm trying to accomplish.
