Hi Ali, This is a common mistake with scriptaculous, when launching an effect (mouseout or mouseover), you did not verify if there is the opposite effect in execution. So both effect will launch concurrently and it's fliker !!
To see that this is the problem, wait some time to mouseover / mouseout the element, and the problem did not appear. You could use the queue to handle that or withcallbacks. -- david On 21 sep, 19:06, ali <aliboswo...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am having trouble with an animation, and I am hoping that someone > can help me out. > > I have one box that triggers a mouseover event.observe event when you > move your mouse over it. > > When this mouseover occurs, I want to have another box (which is > absolutely positioned) "appear", while also moving up slightly.
