Though reluctant to stick my nose in here (as I'm not contributing to the
development of this project in any fashion), I'm going to put my helmet on
as some cover against incoming rocks and state I agree with Richard... it
seems to me that having to download any additional code that comes with the
pathanim object is a small price to pay for better memory management...

I am really surprised that you of all people were not aware of the use of
pathanim, for slideTo's, and that you should want to set a step back.
It seems a bit like saying,"we'll include the DynAPI1 code for those who
want to use it as well."
You yourself agreed that it was recursive setTimeouts that caused most
memory use/waste (if I'm not mistaken) which is exactly why Dan introduced
the thread and pathanim object in the first place. The idea being that
thread was the only place in the code that setTimeouts (or intervals) are
used, and that all widgets should be ported to use it, so they spread cpu
use as evenly as possible. If we eventually have a timeline object, or a
thread object which compensates for slower pc by increasing the stepsize, we
don't want to have to re-write all the animation widgets, but simply add the
necessary to link it into thread.
And... although pathanim is large, the part used for the slideTo's is quite
modest, and very logical.
I'm not here for an argument, but I think you're making a mistake, and will
add confusion for the users, how are we supposed to propagate the use of
thread in all animation widgets, if the core code doesn't use it?
The problems with the scrollbar are probably caused by the dragboundaries
being incorrectly interpreted somewhere.
Keep up the good work on the Dynapix.
Cheers,
Richard Bennett
