Hey Leland,
I just checked the timed animation example under
win98 / ns6.0 and it loaded and ran. Possibly you hit
a glitch coming from my server? You could try it
again. What operating system are you running under?
To Dan, I am working with the bi-threaded and
tri-threaded examples. The original article by Mark
Szlazak has some good examples. In talking with Mark,
he has re-named the process to bi-thread and so on as
not to confuse it with the more widely recognized
multithread. So far, the results of anything more
than bi-thread are very disappointing and do not play
back in a uniform manner. With the bi-thread, you can
experiment with the original animation page I posted,
getting the timeslice down to around 27ms (select the
option titled multithread).

To Richard, Yes that does sound interesting, your
ideas on using the base to create a timed path
animation. I started tinkering with the concept,
working on applying it to pathanim. The base
structure of pathanim makes it a little more difficult
than the bi-thread modification I did for the timing01
page. Working on several widgets right now, will get
back on this shortly. Oh, and as to the "little layer
that gets clipped...." You missed the more obvious
mistake, the page title still carries your wipeTo demo
title <g>. As you know, I have been using your
example to create the demos so that we can port them
to your site when they are stable.
I have a add on utility widget for thread that
replaces the call to set "sleep" for an animation.
You give it a setting and it selects the closest
multiple timeslice for the operating system that is
viewing it and sets the sleep value for the animation
dependant on the system and browser (defaulting to
multiples of 55ms, the worst case). It is based on
the selection code in the timing01 example. This does
give uniform playback across browser platforms (one of
my goals achieved). Once I have more platform info
nailed down, I will post it.
We are still lacking a timeslice minimum for linux
operating systems and some further information on Mac
platforms to round out the information we have so far.
Help!!!!
It is a very easy test, please see the post about
testing here:
