Vanilla JS TimelineMax Produces Console Logs But Doesn't Play

[tetreault 2 Likes (Newbie)]

Hello, 

 

I have a websocket project I'm working on. When a user joins the site they get a div created for them with an icon as background image. I have a function that runs on DOMContentLoaded that creates fake user divs and wanted to build a timeline of animation moving them around via the X and Y properties in TweenLite.

 

I am really stuck scratching my head - my TimelineMax produces console logs on Update() but nothinggggg moves.

 

I could really appreciate a second pair of eyes! I've distilled the function in question down to a codepen. 

 

Thank you in advance!

HI tetreault 

 

Welcome to the GreenSock forum.

 

You're only loading TweenLite so you'll also need the CSS Plugin:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.19.1/plugins/CSSPlugin.min.js"></script>

If you were loading TweenMax, that plugin would be loaded by default. TweenMax includes:

• TweenLite
• TweenMax
• TimelineLite
• TimelineMax
• CSSPlugin
• AttrPlugin
• RoundPropsPlugin
• DirectionalRotationPlugin
• BezierPlugin
• EasePack

That should get things working for you.

 

Happy tweening.

OMG. Face-freaking-palm. I've used Greensock for a while now and usually use TweenMax. I'm not sure why I decided to use TweenLite this time, but I was unaware you needed the CSSPlugin. Must have really not been paying attention. 

 

That resolves it, thanks!

It happens to all of us.

 

Glad to hear it's all working for you now. Happy tweening.
