Using JS GreenSock library with Webstorm

I am creating a website with HTML5 in JetBrains Webstorm 6.0.2 I want to use the GreenSock JS library for this, but it doesn't work for me. I have included the GreenSock.js files in external libraries, but I still cannot use them, for example I got this error: "Uncaught ReferenceError: TimeLineLite is not defined".

This is how I wanted to use the constructor for TimelineLite:

var tl = new TimelineLite();

Here is an image from my IDE

enter image description here Why can't I use this? Or does it not work with Webstorm?

This is how you add autocomplete, code hint, etc. for JS libraries that don't provide enough information for WebStorm (this is not a library bug, this is just the way JS works):

Downloading libraries in WebStorm



A "TypeScript stub" is a way to define the API of the library and really helps WebStorm understand the library better: https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/greensock/greensock.d.ts

Also, WebStorm doesn't include this stub file in your project, it stores it in the WebStorm cache so you don't need to worry about it.
