 * 	duration 	- the duration of the animation
 *	startOffset - the amount of scroll offset after it the animations kicks in
 *	offsetY		- the offset from the top when the object is animated
 *	lockBottom	- 'true' by default, set to false if you don't want your floating box to stop at parent's bottom
