I'm yet to see a layer = that can be dragged along a diagonal line, or along a curve defined by a = series of XY coordinates. Such a feature would be extremely useful and = versatile, particularly if each point along the path could trigger an = event. For instance, when the layer is dragged to the 5th coordinate in = the array, another layer is displayed, a javascript executed, etc. 3) No, I haven't seen your spec docs. Where can I review them? 4) Sorry, I'm not a programmer. I tried my hand at Delphi 3, but was = never very successful. I've beta tested for Adobe and Corel corporation, = though, and will happily test and provide feedback for you. See the attached GIF graphic for a diagrammatic representation of the = feature I'm suggesting.

Subject: Your feature request for DynAPI IDE First I want to thnk you for submitting your feature request to us!=20 Second I would like to ask you some follow up questions so i may = better understand what it is that your after: 1. Is it an animation feature for layers you're after? In that case it = would go with a timeline don't you think? me and Dn are really = interested in implementing a timeline, so probably either of us or = someone else will do some kind of timeline animation extension when = version 1.0 is released, cause its a most wanted and usable feature. = (wheter this should be accompanied with a new DynAPI widget or not I = can't tell in this phase) 2. How do you mean sliders? Is it sliders that goes vertical and = horizontal on the document WYSIWYG editing frame or what? Or are you = refering to something like a timeliner (like the above mentioned = feature)? Please evaluate further in a more detailed manner... 3. Have you checked out our spec docs? Any comments on them? Do they = make sense? I'd really like to get some feedback since its mostly me = (with the help of Jitu Davda) that have put together them. 4. Do you have any experience in Java and/or software/system = development? Would you in that case like to join up? We need more = enthusiasts that want to work on a piece each, so if you're interested, = have some ability and time to spend collaborating with us, let me know = what you would be interested in contributing/working on, what you'd = expect of the projet, waht you expect to bring to the project and some = curiousa about who you are, where you come from, what experience you = have and other relevant stuff. In any case thanks for your post and we hope you be satisfied to see = the results foreover. (Activity is still slow, but here and there its = brewing I can tell you, even though not much is yet to be seen) Henrik V=E5glin [ hv...@ya... ] project manager of DynAPI IDE |
