RE: [Dynapi-Help] Chaining animations

Thanks Richard,   Your modification to pathanim.js will allow me to do what I need.  I thought it was strange that I couldn't start the next animation from it's own event listener.  My code will be much more tidy now.   -- John Sturgeon <>< [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.senareider.com/   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Richard :o Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 8:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Dynapi-Help] Chaining animations hi, Regarding  Chained Path Animation and Timelines   Obviously there is no standard for this yet , so I'll tell you how I do it.   Firstly I had to adapt pathanim.js, cause you couldn't start a new animation from it's own eventlistener, because "this.playing = false;" came after the "invokeEvent("pathstop")", so the animation was still playing when we call the new one. after swapping these lines I added the function "stopAnimationNow()", which stops the animation without invoking onpathstop, so the next sequence doesn't start playing automatically. The adapted pathanim.js file is attached. Regarding animation, basically,   [mini-tutorial snipped]   I started out replying to a question and ended up with a book,now i'm probably off the mark here and there,so maybe if you guys add your ideas/experiences/improvements we can edit this into a mini tutorial??   Anyway, hope it helps somebody,   Cheers Richard :o
