hi guys
is there an extension for scriptaculous (or another library) that
allows you to create more organic/natural looking movement?
for example when an image slides across the screen, it does at a
variable speed, increasing at first then decreasing at the end.
I feel it would need to be able to do this before it can become a
viable substitute for flash, which i would love to see!
thanks

That is completely the wrong way to go. You get smooth animation out of a
web browser running javascript by writing lean, efficient code. You will
not get it by starting with inefficient and bloated code and adding to
it.

Don't listen to Richard. He leaves in 2001, when everything was coded from
scratch.
I don't know what you mean by "organic" but I think jQuery is the best
framework available, and it's "Interface Elements" add-on has a lot of good
effects: http://interface.eyecon.ro/
The code is already "lean" and "efficient" and if you run the examples
you'll see that they run perfectly fine in your test browsers.
Richard's attitude is one of "if it's built on a framework, it must not be
as efficient as writing it from scratch" and he holds to this view despite
evidence to the contrary.

I leaved a lot of times in 2001, and still my code doesn't make any sense.
Does that make sense?

like this:
new Effect.MoveBy( 'prefooter', 400, 0 , {duration: 4, transition:
Effect.Transiti ons.slowstop});
there are other effect transitions available. Check the wiki. You may
need the latest scriptaculous version.
it's tricky to get scriptaculous (or any javascript image effects in
my very limited -- read: weeks -- experience to run quite as smoothly
as flash. It seems impossible to scale image smoothly.

The object I use for motion can be found here: http://www.galasoft-lb.ch/myjavascri...oned-node.html
The default function used to calculate the motion is a deceleration only
(I use a function of the square of the distance to target), but it can
be easily replaced by your own function. Adding an effect like you
described should be easy enough.
HTH,
Laurent

I've been working on a side project off and on (more off than on) for a year
or so.
Overtime, it's become a bit of a frankenstein. It uses the Scriptaculous
javascript library for a lot of drag-n-drop functionality. However, I'm not
using any AJAX postbacks.
This is been fine, as most of the drag-n-drop has been fairly simple and
it's just been a matter of grabbing an array in javascript and passing it
back with a standard postback.

Hi folks :)
We use scriptaculous draggables inside a scrollable div.
Everything works fine if we turn on the option "Ghosting" (this
enables items to be dragged outside the div with a sroller
(scroll:auto) properly. Otherwise items could not be dragged outside).
When it comes to IE a div with a scroller does not work properly it
just have the scroller but the items are not in it.
