To synchronize the menu scrolling up with the Lottie animation when clicking the hamburger menu in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Add the Lottie animation to your Webflow project:
- Create or find a Lottie animation you want to use for your menu.
- Export the Lottie animation file (usually in JSON format).
- In Webflow, go to the "Assets" panel and click the "+" button to upload the Lottie animation file.
- Set up the hamburger menu:
- Add a hamburger menu component to your Webflow project, either by using the pre-built Webflow navbar component or by customizing your own.
- Make sure the hamburger menu element has an "Interactions" trigger on it, typically a click event.
- Create the interactions:
- Select the hamburger menu and navigate to the "Interactions" panel.
- Add a new interaction and name it something relevant, like "Menu Animation."
- Set the trigger to "Click" or "Tap" on the hamburger menu.
- In the "Animation" section of the interaction, select your Lottie animation from the dropdown menu. If you don't see your animation in the dropdown, make sure it was properly uploaded to the "Assets" panel.
- Choose the desired animation settings, such as loop or autoplay, to match your design requirements.
- Add a new action to the interaction:
- Click the "+" button under "ACTIONS" in the "Interactions" panel.
- Choose the action "Start Animation."
- Select the Lottie animation you uploaded in step 1 from the dropdown menu.
- Add a scroll interaction to the menu:
- Click the "+ Add new action" button again.
- Choose the action "Scroll".
- Set the target to the menu or any wrapper element that contains the menu.
- Specify the scroll offset to move the menu up.
- Preview and refine the interaction:
- Preview your project in the Webflow preview mode or publish it to see the interaction in action.
- If necessary, tweak the animation settings, scroll offset, or any other parameters to achieve the desired effect.
By synchronizing the menu scrolling up with the Lottie animation, you can create an engaging and seamless user experience when users click the hamburger menu on your Webflow website.
