No problem karl.... I like being "quoted" ;-) But, the jkwick doesn't actually use the technique he needs. Instead it uses a boolean called "running" to determine if an animation is running or not and if it is running, then it doesn't trigger another animation until that has finished. Actually it is just a hack to get around the issue of not being able to stop animations in the middle.
That said, "Eridius", if all you need is to stop the animation midway, you have to take a look at the interface Fx plugin. Just the way mootools has moo.fx as a module, you get interesting FX features with interface plugin's FX. One such thing is <<surprise, surprise>> a way to easily stop animations. Take a look here... http://interface.eyecon.ro/docs/animate Eridius, come on, it is not a "lot of code"... the whole jkwick plugin(which is packaged for reuse) is just approximately 1K leaving the comments out. -GTG On 8/13/07, Karl Swedberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Aug 13, 2007, at 8:40 PM, Joel Birch wrote: > > On 8/14/07, Joel Birch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On 8/14/07, Eridius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > That help quite a bit but still not the effect i am looking for.
