Background: I'm using snap.svg to animate paths in an inline svg, and I'm trying to animate several paths in one function.
Problem: using the code below, I'm only able to select a single path in one grab function. In the code below, I've used multiple selectors, but the animation only affects rect#rect-one. How can I select multiple paths in Snap.svg?
Thanks for the help!
HTML/Inline SVG:
<a id="one">link</a>
<svg>
<rect id="rect-one" fill="#231F20" width="39" height="14"/>
<rect id="rect-two" x="54" fill="#231F20" width="39" height="14"/>
<rect id="rect-three" x="104" fill="#231F20" width="39" height="14"/>
</svg>
Snap:
window.onload = function () {
var grabLink = Snap.select('body a#one'),
grabPathRectangles = Snap.select('#rect-one, #rect-two, #rect-three');
function colorPathRectangles(){
grabPathRectangles.animate({fill: 'red'}, 100, mina.ease);
}
function resumePathRectangles(){
grabPathRectangles.animate({fill: 'green'}, 100, mina.ease);
}
grabLink.hover(colorPathRectangles, resumePathRectangles);
};
I think the problem is that you can't apply animations to a set (edit: possible now), so you would have to apply it to each element. For this you could use the forEach command, so...
grabPathRectangles.forEach( function(elem,i) {
elem.animate({fill: 'red'}, 1000, mina.ease);
});

Or I suspect you could put them into a group and animate the group as one if that makes more sense. Here is an example http://jsfiddle.net/DZ4wZ/5/ however, I had to remove the original fill.
Edit: Looks like you can apply animations to a set now, I think this feature didn't used to work, or was buggy, so not historically used. So you may want to make sure you have the latest version of Snap if using it.
