Hey laythemers,

I just tried to work with GSAP framework and the Scrolltrigger plugin and it works fine so far.
But I fail to run a lottie animation with the Scrolltrigger plugin.

GSAP Docs provide a little helper function for this, which I used:

function LottieScrollTrigger(vars) {
    let playhead = { frame: 0 },
        target = gsap.utils.toArray(vars.target)[0],
        speeds = { slow: "+=2000", medium: "+=1000", fast: "+=500" },
        st = { trigger: target, pin: true, start: "top top", end: speeds[vars.speed] || "+=1000", scrub: 1 },
        ctx = gsap.context && gsap.context(),
        animation = lottie.loadAnimation({
            container: target,
            renderer: vars.renderer || "svg",
            loop: false,
            autoplay: false,
            path: vars.path,
            rendererSettings: vars.rendererSettings || { preserveAspectRatio: 'xMidYMid slice' }
        });
    for (let p in vars) { // let users override the ScrollTrigger defaults
        st[p] = vars[p];
    }
    animation.addEventListener("DOMLoaded", function () {
        let createTween = function () {
            animation.frameTween = gsap.to(playhead, {
                frame: animation.totalFrames - 1,
                ease: "none",
                onUpdate: () => animation.goToAndStop(playhead.frame, true),
                scrollTrigger: st
            });
            return () => animation.destroy && animation.destroy();
        };
        ctx && ctx.add ? ctx.add(createTween) : createTween();
        // in case there are any other ScrollTriggers on the page and the loading of this Lottie asset caused layout changes
        ScrollTrigger.sort();
        ScrollTrigger.refresh();
    });
    return animation;
}

I deactivated lazyloading, all kind of transition, and activated compatibility mode. I think it has something to do with the addEventListener "DOMloaded"? But I can't get my head around this. Anybody a hint to solve this?

Cheers
Felix
