Hi, Since I needed a global queueing system for jquery's effects for a project, I decided to develop it myself.
The result: http://jquery.com/plugins/project/fxqueues (http:// www.decodeuri.com/jqueryfxqueues/) As the introduction explains: "The jQuery Fx Queues plugin is a global queueing (duh!) system that allows to enqueue effects of different elements, but also keeps jQuery's default queueing option. A wait argument was also added to be able to specify the time to wait before starting the animation." The plugin introduces two concepts: queues and scopes. Queues: A queue is an array that may contain animations to perform and/or scopes. Scopes: What happens if you needed to enqueue not a single effect, but a group of effects to be played altogether? This is where scopes come to save the day. A scope is an object that can be contained in a queue. It is an array that contains only animations to perform. When a scope is dequeued, it automatically plays all the animations it contains. To understand better these two ideas, I've made a simple example page (http://www.decodeuri.com/fxqueues/fxqueues.html) which should (and please let me know if it doesn't) be self explanatory about the uses of the plugin. I would appreciate feedback of any kind (bugs, comments, enhancements, things to document, etc.). Hope you find it useful!
