Hello,

Thank you so much for replying; I appreciate the professional follow-up. =
I'll comment on your responses below:

1) I wasn't really describing an animation feature, although a timeline =
could play a part in my request by providing a method to "record" data =
points for a path.

2) By sliders I mean this: most "sliders" are linear only; they are =
constrained to horizontal or vertical movement. 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.

Thanks,

Kevn Lambson

  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)
