A small, customizable YouTube-like player for GSAP (GreenSock) Timelines

Project Demo Page: http://s.codepen.io/sdras/debug/Mpjxxq/

The simplest possible use is loading gsap-player.js before the closing body tag (you do not need the CSS file) and implementing:

gsapPlayer({ playerTL: yourtimelinehere });

This will append the player to document.body. The default timeline name is tl, if you're using tl, you only need to call gsapPlayer();

GSAP Player will default to a dark theme, but you can also configure a light theme:

gsapPlayer({ light: true });

By default, the GSAP player will be 80% wide and 40px from the bottom of the viewport. You can configure it to be full-width or flush to the bottom, or slightly higher or lower. Bottom must be in a string.

gsapPlayer({
  fullWidth: true,
  bottom: '0'
});

If you use full-width and keep the container defaulted to document.body, you should be sure that you've either used a reset or placed margin: 0 on the body due to strange browser defaults.

By default, the player is instantiated on the body, but if you'd like to change the parent, you can do:

gsapPlayer({ container: '#foo' });

You'll need to put position: relative on that containing element to enclose the player spacially in that div. Just a heads up: this won't put the animation in the container as well (the configuration is kept separate for flexibility.
