class YAHOO.ext.Animator
extends YAHOO.ext.Element


Provides support for syncing animations for multiple YAHOO.ext.Actors.



This example can be seen in action here by clicking on "Click here and I will point it out".


var animator = new YAHOO.ext.Animator();
var cursor = new YAHOO.ext.Actor('cursor-img', animator);
var click = new YAHOO.ext.Actor('click-img', animator);
var resize = new YAHOO.ext.Actor('resize-img', animator);

// start capturing
animator.startCapture();

// these animations will be run in sequence
cursor.show();
cursor.moveTo(500,400);
cursor.moveTo(20, getEl('navbar').getY()+10, true, .75);
click.show();
click.alignTo(cursor, 'tl', [-4, -4]);

// Add an async function call, pass callback to argument 1
animator.addAsyncCall(Blog.navbar.undockDelegate, 1);

// pause .5 seconds
animator.pause(.5);

// again, these animations will be run in sequence
click.hide(true, .7);
cursor.alignTo('splitter', 'tr', [0, +100], true, 1);
resize.alignTo('splitter', 'tr', [-12, +100]);

// start sync block: these animations will run at the same time
animator.beginSync();
cursor.hide();
resize.show();
animator.endSync();

// play the captured animation sequences, call myCallback when done
animator.play(myCallback);
