I am trying to animate a background on mousemove with some easing using jquery animate. But cant figure out how to stop the queuing of the animation and have the animation "follow" the mouse around
HTML:
Animate Background<br />
<div id="animateme"></div>
JS:
$("#animateme").bind('mousemove', function(e) {
$(this).animate({
'background-position-x': e.pageX,
'background-position-y': e.pageY
}, 100, 'swing');
});
I have set up a jsfiddle to hopefully show what i mean http://jsfiddle.net/KunZ4/1/
Hover over the top image and you can see the background animation follows the mouse. But i want to add some easing to this, so it follows the mouse a bit smoother.
Using jquery animation seems to queue, but i want the animation to kind of catch up to the mouse on a bit of a delay when mouse movement is stopped.
I am wanting to achieve this without the use of UI or Plugins.
Hopefully that makes some kind of sense
I found something that worked for me, for anyone else looking for this
The easing can be adjusted by changing the duration
$.easing.smoothmove = function (x, t, b, c, d) {
return -c *(t/=d)*(t-2) + b;
};
$("#animateme").bind('mousemove', function(e){
$(this).animate({
'background-position-x': e.pageX,
'background-position-y': e.pageY
}, {queue:false,duration:200,easing:'smoothmove'});
});
Thanks for all the help
