Chapter 42: Timeline.call()

Core Idea

call() is a shorthand for inserting a plain function call into the timeline, equivalent to add(gsap.delayedCall(...)) with less code.

Reference Tables

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
callback	Function	—	function to call
params	Array	null	arguments to pass
position	*	"+=0"	where in the timeline

Returns: self.

Code Examples

tl.call(() => console.log("halfway"), null, 2);

Key Takeaways

1. Prefer this over manually adding a gsap.delayedCall() when the call is already conceptually part of a timeline sequence.
