Tweening a className while overriding a property in that class

[Mike D 1 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi guys,

 

So I have a "default" class for an element that places it offscreen and ready to be animated in. I remove the "default" class in the tween which works just fine.

<style>
.myelement { left: 0px; }
.myelement.default { left: -200px }
</style>

TweenLite.to(".myelement",speed, { className: "-=default" });

Now, I have some scaling logic in place that is fired on resize. When resized, the "left" property is updated which now needs to overwrite the ".myelement" left value contained in the element's .myelement class.

TweenLite.to(".myelement",speed, { className: "-=default", left: "-300px" });

My guess is that the ".myelement" left value is overwriting the passed "left" parameter. Any suggestions on optimizing this is greatly appreciated.

Hello Mike..

 

Have you tried setting the left property to -300px after the class is removed, using the onComplete special property:

TweenLite.to(".myelement", speed, { className: "-=default",
        onComplete:function(){
                  TweenLite.set(".myelement", { left: "-300px" });
       }
});

See if that helps..

 

If not, can you please setup a limited

See the Pen by pen (@pen) on CodePen

or jsfiddle with an example of your issue..

 

thx

I'm not certain what the effect needs to look like, but splitting it into two tweens might work too:

TweenLite.to(".myelement", speed, { className: "-=default" });

// overwrites the left tween of the className tween
TweenLite.to(".myelement", speed, { left: "-300px" });
