HI All,
I am using this code here:
setTimeout("Sound.play(''sounds/movieprojector.mp3'');",
600);
setTimeout("Effect.Appear(''slideshow5'');", 850 +
600);
setTimeout("Effect.Puff(''slideshow5'');", 850 + 600 +
850);
setTimeout("Effect.Appear(''slideshow6'');", 850 + 600
+ 1700);
How can I guarantee a consistent result each time?
It seems that on IE PUFF makes the image move directly up while
firefox makes it move diagonally upward to the left.
In firefox it seems that the result is subtly different each time.
Sometimes it is rough, sometimes it is smooth, and other times it
seems that the effect is almost random.
Thanks,
--

You can''t rely on setTimeout. Scriptaculous provides a queue
functionality [1] for things like that:
function sequence() {
var options = { queue: ''end'' };
$(''slideshow5'').appear(options);
$(''slideshow5'').puff(options);
$(''slideshow6'').appear(options);
}
// call sequence in 0.6 seconds
sequence.delay(0.6);
or using anonymous function:
(function(){
var options = { queue: ''end'' };
$(''slideshow5'').appear(options);
$(''slideshow5'').puff(options);
$(''slideshow6'').appear(options);
}).delay(0.6)

I didn''t think it was playing the effects when indeed it was. I had my mute turned on on the laptop :) Thanks, it seems to be working now. -- Leonard Burton, N9URK http://www.jiffyslides.com service-CbOvBfcOUrWrJCssh9Shfg@public.gmane.org leonardburton-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org "The prolonged evacuation would have dramatically affected the survivability of the occupants." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

I don''t think Sound.play provides callbacks or queuing (I''m guessing due to a browser limitations) - kangax On Apr 27, 2:26 pm, "Leonard Burton" <leonardbur...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> HI, > > > > You can''t rely on setTimeout.
