[Dynapi-Chat] slide utility

[Laszlo T. <las...@po...>]

This slide utility was part of the DynAPI 2.0
Why was it taken out?
It is very handy, and still works with the new 2.55a version (as far as I
can tell from the limited testing i've done).

Please put it back in the package:


/*
   DynAPI Distribution
   Slide Extensions
   Modified: 2000.10.27

   The DynAPI Distribution is distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL
license.
*/
DynLayer.prototype.slideTo = function (endx,endy,inc,speed) {
	if (endx==null) endx = this.x
	if (endy==null) endy = this.y
	var distx = endx-this.x
	var disty = endy-this.y
	this.slideStart(endx,endy,distx,disty,inc,speed)
}
DynLayer.prototype.slideBy = function (distx,disty,inc,speed) {
	if (distx==null) distx = 0
	if (disty==null) disty = 0
	var endx = this.x+distx
	var endy = this.y+disty
	this.slideStart(endx,endy,distx,disty,inc,speed)
}
DynLayer.prototype.slideStart = function (endx,endy,distx,disty,inc,speed) {
	if (this.slideActive) return
	if (!inc) inc = 10
	if (!speed) speed = 20
	this.slideN = Math.floor(Math.sqrt(Math.pow(distx,2) +
Math.pow(disty,2))/inc)
	if (this.slideN==0) return
	this.slideEndX = endx
	this.slideEndY = endy
	this.slideDX = distx/this.slideN
	this.slideDY = disty/this.slideN
	this.slideActive = true
	this.slideI = 0
	this.slideInterval = setInterval(this+".slide()",speed)
}
DynLayer.prototype.slide = function () {
	if (!this.slideActive) {
		clearInterval(this.slideInterval)
		this.slideActive = false
	}
	else if (this.slideI++ < this.slideN) {
		this.moveBy(this.slideDX,this.slideDY)
		this.invokeEvent("slide")
	}
	else {
		this.moveTo(this.slideEndX,this.slideEndY)
		this.invokeEvent("slide")
		this.slideActive = false
		clearInterval(this.slideInterval)
		this.invokeEvent("slideend")
	}
}

Hi,
Checkout the pathanim examples in release 2.55a, you will see the slideTo
function is available there.
You now include pathanim.js and thread.js, when animation is needed.

This was done because thread.js should work as a load-balancer, which gives
all your animations the same priority.

slideBy was dropped, as it was though so simple to do :
myLayer.slideTo(myLayer.getX()+10,null)

Not everyone agreed with this at the time, but that's the way it turned out.
It might be a nice idea to have a official library of addon functions that
work with DynAPI (there is also a nice glide script available), but most
effort is going into browser compatibility, and performance at the moment.

Cheers,
Richard.

I haven't done the glide methods yet, but here's a collection of the animations
that I have ported across.

Note: the code is out of the AfroAPI and will require a bit of tweaking to put
is back in DynAPI mode.  If someone wants to do it, I am willing to give them
all the help they need.  My current workload doesns't allow me the time at the
moment.

My port of the glide animation from DynAPI1 is here:
http://www.dynapi.net:81/dynapi-beta/window/dynapi/src/lib/dynapi/util/glide.js

It's kinda messy but it works.

Hi,
The new window widget is really cool.
the re-write looks promising too, just a shame so many object names have
been changed. Especially because the changes seem to lean towards Java, more
than towards DOM.
Good to see you catered for backwards-compatible code though.

How about making the directories browseable on the server? Saves guessing
the file-names to download the API, which you know we'll do anyway :o)

Looking forward to the next releases,

cheers,
Richard.
