#ScrollMagic

###The jQuery plugin for magical scroll interactions.

ScrollMagic is a jQuery plugin which essentially lets you use the scrollbar like a progress bar.
It's the plugin for you, if you want to ...

... start an animation at a specific scroll position.
... synchronize an animation to the scrollbar movement.
... pin an element at a specific scroll position (sticky elements).
... pin an element for a limited amount of scroll progress (sticky elements).
... easily add a parallax effect to your website.
... create an inifinitely scrolling page (ajax load of additional content).
... call functions when the user hits certain scroll positions or react in any other way to the current scroll position.

Check out the demo page, browse the examples or read the documentation to get started.

##About the Plugin

ScrollMagic is a complete rewrite of its predecessor Superscrollorama by John Polacek.
Like Superscrollorama it relies on the Greensock Animation Platform (GSAP) to build animations, but was developed with specific regard to former shortcomings.

The major perks of using ScrollMagic include:

optimized performance
flexibility
mobile compatibility
ready for responsive webdesign
object oriented programming and object chaining
event management
support for both scroll directions (even different on one page)
support for scrolling inside div containers (even multiple on one page)
extensive debugging and logging capabilities

Installation

Aside from jQuery make sure you have loaded the Greensock Animation Plattform (TweenMax).
To use ScrollMagic in your project simply include the plugin js file in the head section of your HTML file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.scrollmagic.js"></script>

For deployment use the minified version instead:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.scrollmagic.min.js"></script>

And to have access to the debugging extension during development, include this file additionally:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.scrollmagic.debug.js"></script>

You can remove the debugging extension for actual deployment.

Usage

// init controller
var controller = new ScrollMagic();

// assign handler "scene" and add it to Controller
var scene = new ScrollScene({duration: 100})
				.addTo(controller);

// add multiple scenes at once
var scene2;
controller.addScene([
	scene, // add above defined scene
	scene2 = new ScrollScene({duration: 200}), // add scene and assign handler "scene2"
	new ScrollScene({offset: 20}) // add anonymous scene
]);

Check out the examples or the documentation for full reference.
