Scale not appearing to work on image/div

[kathryn.crawford 11 Likes (Newbie)]

I'm trying to create an infographic using scrollmagic/greensock, where I have everything in layers, and each layer tweens down to nothing as you scroll down, so whatever is beneath it is revealed on scroll. I already tried using svgs and clippaths, which was a nightmare since I'm new to them and scrollmagic both. So I decided to use css border-radius. My problem right now is that I'm trying to scale these down and nothing seems to be happening. If I look in my console I will see the styles scaleX: 0 and scaleY: 0 have been applied but the image will still be the same width and height. It doesn't move at all.

Hello kathryn.crawford,

 

You really love Bill Murray

 

It looks like you were using the AttrPlugin since you had your CSS properties wrapped in the attr:{} object

 

See the Pen mVdwpz by jonathan (@jonathan) on CodePen

 

So convert this:

tl.to("#scroll-img1", 1, {attr:{scaleX: 0, scaleY: 0, transformOrigin: "50% 50%"}});

to this without the attr:{} object:

tl.to("#scroll-img1", 1, {scaleX: 0, scaleY: 0, transformOrigin: "50% 50%"});

Also if you want the image to keep it's border-radius then you will need to add the border-radius to your <img> tag as well

.scroll-container > img{
    border-radius: 50%;
}

Does that help?
