Rails spinoffs - May 2007 - Can I instanciate anEffect and execute it N times later?

Hi there,

  I saw several Scriptaculous''s Effect examples and all of them makes
the Effect instance at the time they want to apply to some page
element.

  I need to make that in two phases, A) create instance of the effects
associated to the affected elements and B) at any time execute the
effect over the respective element. The executions of the effects will
be dictated by events that will happen over other elements than the
ones affected by the (preconfigured) effects.

  If I''m interpreting this well each effect (like Effect.Scale) is a
constructor of anEffect instance and reading some in the code I did
found a #start method in the effect object instance but I cant''t
really say if every time I construct an effect for an element I will
be forced to see it executed over the affected element or on the
contrary it will wait until I send it #start as *should* be.

  I''ll appreciate some clarification on this regard, thanks,

Sebastian
