Hi,
I'm trying to build an application that uses SVG as it's front end. To that end, I've got a lot of visual effects going on in the application. More or less the application has five different map views, and there is a route animation that spans the five maps. I'd like to generate the entire SVG document at once, with all the animations and paths for each of the maps layed on the map at the beginning. The maps begin as a thumbnail sized map, then expand as the animation sequence elapses, arriving at the points when a particular map is important. To complicate this, it also needs to be interactive to the extent that users can restart the animation from the beginning (without reloading the svg document), and can switch between maps at any time. I'd _really_ prefer to avoid doing all the animations through javascript. I've got a lot of this working already, but only in two pieces. I have the maps rendering the routes correctly, and I've got the interface to the maps with the iconic maps presented and switchable. My questions are: (a) I've tried to use <svg> and <g> tags to group the map route information together, and move/grow them when necessary. However there does need to be some state -- which map is currently in the main view. I need to be able to dynamically change the animation destination and sizing depending on what just was clicked. When I use the svg and g elements to do this the animations do not work. However, if I animate just a normal graphical element like this it works great. How do people usually deal with such a problem? If necessary I can come up with some simple mockup of my issue here. (b) I would like to be able to trigger animations to begin/end from javascript functions. How does one do this? (c) If I want to change transform attributes from within a javascript function, is there any other interface than writing the transform attribute's text? ie, are there any elements such as element.scale.sx?
