What could be causing the lottie animation to play on page load instead of when scrolled into view on the Webflow published version?
If the Lottie animation is playing on page load instead of when scrolled into view on the Webflow published version, there are a few possible causes and solutions to consider:
Incorrect scroll trigger settings: Check if you have properly set up the scroll trigger for the Lottie animation. In Webflow, you can use the Scroll into view interaction to trigger animations when an element enters the viewport. Make sure you have assigned this interaction to the correct element.
Mismatched animation trigger: Ensure that you have selected the appropriate trigger option for your Lottie animation. By default, Webflow allows you to set triggers based on page load, scroll, click, hover, or form submission. If you've unintentionally selected the wrong trigger, the animation may play at the wrong time. Double-check the trigger settings for the animation.
Check the interaction settings and delays: Review the interaction panel settings for the Lottie animation. Verify that the desired animation is triggered by the correct scroll trigger and that it has the appropriate delay settings. If the animation has a delay that's not aligned with the scroll trigger, it may play at the wrong time.
Conflicting interactions: If you have multiple interactions or animations on the same element, conflicting interactions may cause unexpected behavior. Check if there are any conflicting interactions that might be triggering the animation on page load. Ensure that only the desired scroll trigger interaction is present.
Element positioning and visibility: Check if the element containing the Lottie animation is positioned correctly. The animation should be contained within a wrapper or parent element that is set to
position:relative
orposition:absolute
. Also, ensure that the wrapper element is within the viewport when scrolled into view.Cache issue: If you have recently made changes to the Lottie animation or its interactions, it's possible that your browser is loading a cached version of the page. Clear your browser cache and refresh the page to see if the problem persists.
By systematically troubleshooting these potential issues, you should be able to identify and resolve the problem of the Lottie animation playing on page load instead of when scrolled into view on the Webflow published version.
