Hi guys, hi Leif,

I apologize if this is the 2nd time you receive the same email. I used=20
my company's email address to sent the first one, and wasn't sure if=20
that was able to get through, since I am not registered with that email=20
address.=20

I am using DynAPI version 3.0, which I downloaded from this link:

http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/dynapi/dynapi-3.0.0-beta1.zip

I checked out the snapshots, but I'm not sure which one this file=20
corresponds to. I found this link on the DynAPI website, here:

http://dynapi.sourceforge.net/dynapi/article.php?
sid=3D55&mode=3Dthreaded&order=3D0

Anyway, the scripts I was writing was nothing special, but I will just=20
give you a simple example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

<html>
<head>
<title>DynAPI Examples - Glide Animation (Path Animation)</title>
<script language=3D"JavaScript" src=3D"dynapi3x/src/dynapi.js"></script>
<script language=3D"Javascript">
	dynapi.library.setPath('dynapi3x/src/');
	dynapi.library.include('dynapi.api');

	dynapi.library.include('PathAnimation');
	dynapi.library.include('GlideAnimation');
</script>

<script language=3D"Javascript">

DynAPI.onLoad(init);

function init() {

	a =3D new DynLayer();
	a.setSize(20,20);
	a.setLocation(500,100);
	a.setBgColor("green");

	b =3D new DynLayer();
	b.setSize(20,20);
	b.setLocation(200,100);
	b.setBgColor("red");	=09

	b_anim =3D new PathAnimation(b);
	b_anim.sleep(20);
	var p =3D GlideAnimation(200,100,400,100,7,'slow','slow');=09
	b_anim.add(p,false);
=09
	a_anim =3D new PathAnimation(a);
	a_anim.sleep(20);
	var t =3D GlideAnimation(500,100,400,100,7,'slow','slow');
	t =3D t.concat( GlideAnimation(400,100,400,200,7,'slow','slow') );
	t =3D t.concat( GlideAnimation(400,200,200,200,7,'slow','slow') );
	t =3D t.concat( GlideAnimation(200,200,200,100,7,'slow','slow') );
	a_anim.add(t,false);
=09
	a_anim.playAnimation();
	b_anim.playAnimation();
=09
	dynapi.document.addChild(a);
	dynapi.document.addChild(b);
}

So, the =93a_anim=94 and =93b_anim=94 execute simultaneously, which is wh=
at I=20
DON=92T want. I want to be able to wait until =93a_anim=94 is finished, a=
nd=20
then execute =93b_anim=94.=20

Now, as I mentioned before, I found a =93.playing=94 property in the sour=
ce=20
files, so I thought I might want to give that a go. But that property=20
is always true. Maybe I can=92t access it or something... I don=92t know.=
=20
Are there =93private=94 and =93public=94 properties in JS? Again, I=92m n=
ew at=20
this, so these questions may sound pretty stupid.=20

Anyway, if anyone would be kind enough to point out how I can execute=20
the animations sequentially rather than simultaneously, he has my=20
gratitude and thanks =3D)
