Wrong fixed position onmodal based on the mouse position

[dghez 2 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi everyone,

I recreated a codepen that replicate more or less my problem (for using that click somewhere in the white area)
I'm trying to achieve something like the one you can see. I need to open a "fixed popup" that everytime change it's initial position.

If you try the pen everything works fine for the only first click but if  you try to click again you can see that the "modal" still opening from the position you clicked the first time. Can anyone explain whats is going on?

 

ps: I added a delay so you can see clearly what's is going on.

Thanks eveyone!

Thanks for the demo.

I think the problem is that you are creating a timeline once and replaying that same timeline over and over. Keep in mind that starting and ending values in every tween in a timeline are recorded and re-used on each play. In this case I think you want a fresh timeline each time.

So essentially I should declare every click the timeline, otherwise it takes the original values of when I declared it. Am i right?
