Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Snapshot broken - circleanim.js bug

Robert,

I posted this prior.  Not sure if my solution is the cleanest, but it
worked.  Basically if you set a negative variable in setAngleIncrement to
reverse circle animation 'then' use generatePath method IE5 or IE 5.5 freeze
up solid.  Fix below and attached.

POSTED PRIOR____________________________________________________________
If you generated a path with a (-) negative number in setAngleIncrement
method (to allow you to determine direction, clockwise(-) or counter
clockwise(+) it would freeze up during this line "for (var
a=this.angle;a<=this.angle+Math.PI*2;a+=this.angleinc) {" in the
generatePath method of circle.js.  This method is critical because it allows
you to inherit both 'loop' and 'reset' functionality from pathanim.js and
have some real fun.  Now you setAngleIncrement as a positive for speed and
use setDirection (+ or - 1) to set path direction.  Tested in both IE and NS
on WinME.

added/changed the following lines.  Full js file attached.
____________________________________________________________________________
____________
this.direction = 1

CircleAnimation.prototype.setDirection = function (d) {
 this.direction = d;

CircleAnimation.prototype.generatePath = function(centerX,centerY) {
 if (centerX==null) centerX = this.dlyr!=null? this.dlyr.x : 0;
 if (centerY==null) centerY = this.dlyr!=null? this.dlyr.y : 0;
 var path = [];
 var i = 0;
 for (var a=this.angle;a<=this.angle+Math.PI*2;a+=this.angleinc) {
  path[i] = Math.round(centerX + this.hradius*Math.cos(this.direction*a));
  path[i+1] = Math.round(centerY - this.vradius*Math.sin(this.direction*a));
  i+=2;
 }
 return path;
};
