Yes, I think this is a good idea. It would also make interpolations much easier and much more efficient.

My initial reaction is that the type and order need to be the same. >> Is there a way to select a specific frame so that you can apply >> scripting commands to a specific frame? >define_chime(window,"ethach","240","300","AnimFrameCallback=JSAnimcontrol","ethane.xyz","wireframe > 40;spacefill 120;select hydrogen;spacefill 90;zoom 190;select > *;background [235,255,235];set specular on;anim fps 2;anim mode > loop;anim frame next") The question I was trying to ask is: Can you restrict scripting commands to a specific frame so that you can change visual representation characteristics for a single frame? > Taken from Hens' WetCHe website, ethane.html: > http://www.cmbi.kun.nl/wetche/organic/nalkanesconf/ethane/index.html > That does not answer your question, but shows Chime's anim commands... > > Interesting bits are in a separate javascript file: > http://www.cmbi.kun.nl/wetche/moiscript.js > > function write_chime(what,pin,height,width,otherprop) > { > t = '<embed src="/wetche/1atom.pdb" frank="no" > pluginspage="http://www.mdlchime.com"; ' > t += 'name="' + top.moi[pin]["gentlename"] + '" ' > t += 'height="' + height + '" width="' + width + '" ' > t += 'debugscript=on MessageCallback="' + top.moi["codeloc"] + > '.ChimeMessage" PickCallback="' + top.moi["codeloc"] + '.ChimePick" ' > if (typeof(otherprop) != 'undefined' && otherprop != '') t += otherprop > t += '>' > if (top.moi["works"] > 1) > { > t += '<IFRAME NAME="ifr_' + pin + '" ALIGN=TOP WIDTH=5 HEIGHT=0 > VSPACE=0 > HSPACE=0 SCROLLING="no" FRAMEBORDER="no"></IFRAME>' > } > what.document.write(t) > } > > Hens, the MessageCallBack and PickCallback values give javascript > methods called when something is selected in Chime? > This seems to be a nice overview of what these attributes do: > http://www.weizmann.ac.il/~cffelder/weiz/embedtags.html > Which call backs are you using? I have been looking at the Java->JavaScript callback mechanism through LiveConnect. There seems to be a lot of ambiguity over whether or not this works well with IE.

My biggest concern is the robustness of the callback mechanism. If we have problems with it then the fallback mechanism is for JavaScript to poll the status of the applet to find out where it is.
