Hi guys, I am wondering is there is a way to create a stagger animation with random stagging time, using the stagger methods. Thanks in advance...

Is there a way to reference the item's index from the vars. For example: TweenMax.staggerFrom($items, 1, { y: -100 * itemIndex }, 0.5); I can calculate the index like this: $items.index(this.target) but it seems like it's something that TweenMax should expose directly.

I have created a basic drawsvg animation where the content of the circle fills with a colour. I will have multiple circles on a page so I want the animation to loop through each item which I have achieved with the staggerFromTo. The next step is to feed in dynamic values for the drawsvg animation which I was hoping to pull from data-percent="x" as the values will be output on the page. I have done this but I am not sure on the best way to loop through this data...as at the moment it only pulls in the last data att value rather than the unique value for each circle. I hope my intention is clear. Any help would be appreciated

In my Codepen is an example of 4 bubbles animating. Each one enters from the bottom and pause in the middle of the page, then leaves upwards. However, I want to be able to achieve this with one animation, so that it doesn't matter how many Bubbles are in the page, it's going to fire them all up one by one just as it is in my example. I had experimented a bit with `staggerTo`, `staggerFrom` and `staggerFromTo` which I understand are intended for this purpose, but I couldn't quite nail the exact desired functionality. Is there a solution for this?

I'm trying to change the origin point of my staggering elements. Both are a path which visualy start drawing at the top of the line then goes down. Is there any way to tell GSAP to start at the bottom of the path then up. I tried with transform orignins without success. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I am new to greensock and even to jquery/javascript at all. I am trying to scale the "g" parts of a svg element from 0 to 1. It already works but the elements don't stay in their end position when they are animating, but "move" in along the x and y axis. I am wondering if there is a way, that they stay fixed in their position and just scale from 0 to 1? I already searched the forum and found advises about transformOrigin, but none of them solved my problem.

Hi! First of all, thank you very much for making this excellent library. I wish I would have found Greensock long ago, but better late than never. I have a relatively simple problem, but I can't figure out an elegant way to animate it. I have three circles, and I want the background color to change from green to red with stepped easing and hold for 1 second. Then the next circle in line changes from red to green, and so forth. This is the effect I'm looking for: I think that TimelineMax.staggerTo is what I'm looking for, but I can't quite get it to work as expected. Can anyone give me any pointers? Thanks for reading! Ty

Such as dealing of cards. You are doing a similar animation but each element ends up in a slightly different position. I know I can animate them one by one and delay each one slightly like in the example code below but is there a shorter and more effective/elegant way of doing this? Thanks in advance! .to('.element1', 1, { x: "+=30", ease: Power3.easeInOut }, "frame1+=1") .to('.element2', 1, { x: "+=60", ease: Power3.easeInOut }, "frame1+=1.15") .to('.element3', 1, { x: "+=90", ease: Power3.easeInOut }, "frame1+=1.25")

What is the easiest way to always randomly shuffle all items in an array and then stagger them. var items = [a, b, c, d, e]; <-- Random order everytime TweenMax.staggerTo(items, 1, {opacity: 1}); 1) I can first randomize my array by following this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2450954/how-to-randomize-shuffle-a-javascript-array Then only do my stagger effect. 2) Or can I use the new .cycle method in stagger. Will that be something I can leverage? Or any better/simpler ways?

Hello there! I had a quick question about the stagger effect. I have a timeline of animations ("tlgrass") applied on a same class (".grass"), and I am looking to delay each .grass element by a few seconds in a staggered effect. So each .grass element would go off delayed by x seconds each, but they have the same animation effects applied. I am not sure how to go about doing this. Is it possible to nest a timeline under a TweenMax.staggerTo function? Or maybe by passing a function? var grass = document.getElementsByClassName("grass"); var tlgrass = new TimelineMax({ repeat: -1, }); // This is the animation I would like all the grass objects to do tlgrass.to(grass, .8, { transformOrigin:"0% 100%", skewX:"10deg"}) .to(grass, .5, {skewX:"0deg", ease: "linear"}) .to(grass, .8, {skewX:"-12deg"}) .to(grass, 1.5, {skewX:"0deg",}) Thanks in advance!

The code pen contains two simple staggers. The first contains a superfluous obj1. Neither versions seem to work. What am I missing? Thanks

Hello! Is there any way that I could manipulate the duration of each tween in a staggerTo() function? Thanks!

Hi, First I want to say I'm really happy that I'm using GSAP! it's wonderful .. Please check out my Pen ... Here we have 3 sets of elemnts and I want to stagger the 3 of them with a stagger time of sy 0.1s and simultaneously stagger the elemnts inside them .. right now the elements of the second block wont start their animation until the last elemnt of the previous block animates ... so basically I want to stagger 3 blocks of staggering elements, I don't want one block to wait until the previous one is done. and I have to start the whole function with $(".fade-scroll").each( ... so please don't suggest to change that also I dont want to use setTimeout function somehow by getting ".quick-info-item" and ... would be great I'll appreciate it very much if anyone could help me..

How to ensure that the snake-like animation in https://codepen.io/TobiReif/pen/b7809c58663ddac3572f5594ffc4f5fe/ is even? Each column of dots should move up with ease-in-and-ease-out (eg sine) and should move back in the same way: slow upwards, fast upwards, slow upwards, then slow downwards, fast downwards, slow downwards; loop. The current animation is roughly what I want, but it seems to be faster at the top and slower at the bottom. Each column of dots seems to jump up and down, resting at the bottom only. I had no luck using repeatDelay, and I think a clean solution would not involve repeatDelay. Instead I need something like "sineAnimationUp;reverse;loop" or simply "sineWaveAnimation" == forth and back exactly like a sine wave.

Hi all. Here is what I want to learn today. I have a simple fade in/fade out animation of several boxes. I want to repeat the animation but this is how I want to do it: box 1, box 2, box 3, box4, box 5 - hold box 5 on the stage for a second then repeat box 2, box 3, box4, box 5 - hold box 5 on the stage forever. here is my code pen http://codepen.io/jeansandjacketrequired/pen/rLyRgB I think I may be looking into implementing nested timelines - correct? something like this? tl.add( firstPart() ) .add( secondPart(), "-=0.5") //overlap 0.5 seconds - - - - Edit: OK. This is how I think I should build this simple animation. Timeline1 repeat 2 Box 1 Box 2 Box 3 Timeline 2 (or nested timeline) no repeat Box 1 Box 2 Box 3 Box 1 and hold

Hey guys, I am totally new to GSAP (I just started using it last night), not to mention a junior developer in general. I want to animate some elements on a page to move accross the page and fade out, all with the same class. The part I am confused about though, is that in order for the elements to move they must be given a position property of absolute or fixed. (At least that's what the greensock tutorial said I had to do). When I apply this position property to the elements with the class I want to animate, they all stack on top of each other in the same place. How do I keep the elements from starting and ending at the same place in the window with this css property applied?

Hi all, I am reading through Google Material's motion guideline. There is one particular effect that is interesting yet I am trying hard how to do this in code. The page: Choregraphing surfaces https://www.google.com/design/spec/motion/choreography.html#choreography-creation Video: https://material-design.storage.googleapis.com/publish/material_v_8/material_ext_publish/0B14F_FSUCc01X1hUU2x6dWpQX1U/CreationChoreo_03_StaggerDo_v3.webm - I could put them into an array and display them one after the after from left to right and then drop to a second row and display the next set and so on. But how do I display them from left to right and top to bottom at the same time?

Hey all - As you may or may not have seen my previous post, this one has a few different issues I was unsure of how to fix. I am pretty satisfied at this point. The only other things I was struggling with were... 1) When hovering over the "U" or "D" to highlight the other svg's (U-X-D) blue. I was using the ':not' some in $(".blue-uxd:not(#diamond)").hover(function(){ joinButton.hide(); uxdButton.show(); 2) This line works but there are still some issues where the diamond does not return to a full 100% and stops mid-hover. And when animating back up it still fades quickly from black to blue. Could I use a switch or something that only activates if the diamond reaches the top/floating step? TweenLite.from("#diamond", 1, {fill:"#00bbd3", progress:0}) 3) And when I hover over the "X/A" the " join button fades out and the "What are you waiting for?" fades in right after... $("#xa-flip").hover(function(){ button.hide(); uxdButton.hide(); joinButton.hide(); hiddenButton.hide(); joinButtonActive.show() TweenMax.to("#joinButtonActive", 6, {delay: 2, autoAlpha:0}); TweenMax.staggerFrom("#hiddenButton", 2, {autoAlpha:0}); joinButtonActive.hide(); hiddenButton.show(); }, function(){ joinButtonActive.hide(); hiddenButton.hide(); button.show(); joinButton.show(); }); thank you very much, nick

Hi, I am wondering what's the relationship between stagger's duration and stagger's staggerDuration. Looking at this code: TweenMax.staggerTo([mc1, mc2, mc3], 1, {x:100, y:200}, 0.25}). The time duration is 1 but there are 3 elements to stagger. mc1 = 0.25, mc2 = 0.25 + 0.25 mc3 = 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 (What happen to this extra 0.25?) - Is the duration the total duration for the whole stagger code (mc1, mc2 and mc3 combined?) And the stagger duration will modulate to fit within the whole duration? Thanks, Venn.

Hi again, Another newbie question. Can anyone help. I am trying to get the last element in my timeline to start before the previous animation finishes. Thanks in advance. var h = $("h1"), para = $("p"), over = $(".overlay"), mod = $(".header-cta .module-cta"); var t1 = new TimelineLite() t1.from(over, 1, { css:{opacity: 0}, // /delay: 6 }); t1.from(h, 2, { css:{marginTop:400, opacity: 0}, ease:Bounce.easeOut, // /delay: 6 }); t1.from(para, 2, { css:{marginTop:600, opacity: 0}, ease:Bounce.easeOut, }, "-=1.3" ); t1.staggerFrom(mod, 1, { css:{marginTop:600, opacity: 0}, ease:Bounce.easeOut, }, 0.1, "stagger" );

I have created a "pulse" animation using two staggerTo animations on TimelineLite. Initial play works well. However, restarting the timeline (on hover) plays all animations at once. I suspect it ignores initial delay values created by staggerTo? What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to create this animation?

I am looking for a way to use the staggerTo, etc. methods on TweenLite, but am not sure what plugin file to include. Plz help

Hi guys, Trying to get a conditional 'repeat' happening with a stagger animation. I want to be able to set a boolean variable (cloudsOn) and if this is true, certain tweens will replay. If it is off, the tweens will not replay. I've managed to get this working in other more custom javascript ways (thanks to help on this forum), but wanted to see if there was a simple way using a stagger loop and onComplete to get this happening. I will post a CodePen but this may be enough to check if it is a simple fix. Thanks. // five .cloud elements in my SVG var cloud = document.querySelectorAll('.cloud'); var tlClouds = new TimelineMax(); var cloudsOn = true; var cloudCheck = function(tween){ if (cloudsOn){ console.log(tween); // Successfully logs the individual tweens of the stagger, targeting individual .clouds. tween.seek(0); } }; tlClouds .staggerTo(cloud, 2, { cycle:{ x: [-400, -200, 0, 300] }, onComplete: cloudCheck, onCompleteParams: ['{self}'] }, 0.2) ;

Hello, so I am trying to animate letters individualy. for this purpose I'm taking text out of a jason object, breaks it into individual letters, and set each individual letter in its own <div> . the ideas is to be able to animate each letter individualy using stagger. However, as you can see TweenMax.staggerTo(elements, 5.5, { opacity:1}); changes the opacity of all the elements at the same time. Any idea why stagger is not working as I think it should? <div id = 'test'></div> #test { height: 500px; width: 500px; position:absolute; } .textlineholder { width: 100%; display:inline-block; position: relative; } .letter { display:inline; position: relative; opacity: 0; } $( document ).ready(function() { var test = document.getElementById('test'); var myArray = { "text1": [ { "txt":"Hello, hello, hello..", "x": "0", "y": "50", }, { "txt":"is there anybody in there?", "x": "0", "y": "100", }, { "txt":"just nod if you can hear me", "x": "0", "y": "150", }, ] } ; for ( var i=0 ; i < myArray.text1.length ; i++) { var linecontainer = document.createElement('div'), letters = myArray.text1[i].txt.split(""); linecontainer.id = 'line'+i test.appendChild(linecontainer); linecontainer.className = 'textlineholder'; for ( var k=0 ; k < letters.length ; k++){ textdiv = document.createElement('div'); textdiv.id = 'textdiv'+i+k; linecontainer.appendChild(textdiv); textdiv.innerHTML = letters[k]; textdiv.className = 'letter'; } } TweenMax.staggerTo($('.letter'), 5.5, { opacity:1}); });
