Implementing Greensock into Hippani Animator

[bell4631]

Hi there, I am trying to figure out how to use Greensock in my Hippani Animator Movie.


I have downloaded the source files for the javascript files and try to use them in my project,
but I keep getting errors when I try to implement them in my movie.


If I use a Greensock command when for example I try to edit a button's OnOver state it throws an error.


Does anyone have an idea how to use an external library like Greensock?

It will not work in the preview. Hippani doesn't like the way the code is written I'm afraid. But as soon as you export it works fine. Here's an example file: greensockExample.hani (88.13 KB)

Hmmmm, I think I understand the gist of it now. Can you tell me how you identified the logo's element ID? I cannot seem to figure out how you found "C0L0S1" in the document.

I found the element id by publishing and using the Chrome developer tools.
It doesn't get generated until you export and it can change if you add objects or layers (which is annoying). There's a logic to it as far as I can tell.
C = Scene
L = Layer
S = Object order

So an object in scene 1 with two layers and an object in the lowest of these and 2 objects below it in the same layer would be "C0L1S2"...

@hippani: For the suggestion list could you add custom element id's?

Hi runes and bell ,I remember that I suggested @hippani maybe some month ago , to add the "GetElement()" function , and I specially wrote a technical post show how a developer to find things they want :

hippani.proboards.com/thread/846/useful-functions-developers



And then , @hippani team added a new "GetElement()" function.

And now this is much easier to do that:



1. uncheck your logo's "Use Timeline" checkbox , IMPORTANT

2. change



var logo = document.getElementById("C0L0S1");



to



var logo = GetElement("logo");//document.getElementById("C0L0S1");



and.. It will works. If not , please upgrade hippani to the latest version

Thanks FlashKnight! I do remember some talk about GetElement but never understood the usage for it. Well here it is
