Question

Figma Motion Breaks in Component

Please enable Figma motion to work for “Change To” interaction in components. I use it in specific sections that change on click / mouse enter interactions but can’t use it because of this obstacle.

Example: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd variant has animations. When I proto click → change to variant 2, the animation does not load. However if I have it looped, it starts after the full loop time length finishes for some reason.

It works when using “Navigate To”, so for now I have to fake it by creating multiple frames of the full page instead of it simply working within the specific section.

Hey, ​@platinumlove 👋 This is great feedback. Are you able to share a quick not-zoomed-in screen recording of the workaround in action? I’d love to add that to the feedback I share internally. If not, no worries. Talk soon! — Jaycee

Hey ​@platinumlove 👋 Thanks for the nudge. I don’t have an update or timeline. And I took this and opened a feature request internally to help get it more traction. Of there are any other related details you have to share, I’ll add them to the tracker for this one. Thank you! — Jaycee
