SCRIPTY2: The FX factory. When the magic comes true




A while ago I announced the PHOENIX REBORN!!, .. the new version of script.aculo.us which is called Scripty2. This weekend I tried out the FX , the effects frameworks, part of the Core...uffff, no words to explain my feelings. Its features:
  • CSS morphing engine: morph from one set of style properties to another, including support for all CSS length types (px, em, %, cm, pt, etc.).
  • Extensive transition system for animation easing and special effects (e.g. bouncing).
  • Auto-adjusts to differences in computing and rendering speed (drops frames as necessary).
  • Limits the number of attempted frame renders to conserve CPU in fast computers.
  • Flexible OOP-based implementation allows for easy extension and hacks.
  • Effect queuing to run an effect after other effects have finished.
  • Chaining and default options: easy-to-use syntax for most use cases.
  • Reusable effect instances can be used with more than one DOM element.
  • User-definable callback functions at any point in the effect lifecycle.
  • Effects are abortable (either as-is or abort-to-end).
But as I always say.., a demo is more worth than 1000032042304304 words, ..so just take a look at the demo page of the transitions.

Soooo, what are you waiting for to change your code from Script.aculo.us to scripty2??, ..and I should ask, ..when is the wedding between Prototype and Scripty2??, hmmmmm, many common things I see lately, ..have you realized how the documentation from Scripty and Prototype seems very similar thanks to pdoc from prototype..

..I leave this post but with the pleasure of leaving the radio on with this version of Personal Jesus by Johny Cash diggdelicioustechnorati
