Simultaneous Animations...

[Malte Pfaff-Brill]

Hi John,

could not resist, so I quickly whipped up a revlet using AE. :-)

http://derbrill.on-rev.com/ae3/randommoving.html

the stack is here: http://derbrill.on-rev.com/ae3/randomMoving.rev  
(carries AE as a substack)

This is the complete script for it. (in the card, mind line wraps) + 2  
buttons that call createGrc or resetAnimation respectively.

on openstack
    if "animationEngine" is not among the lines of the stacksInUse  
then start using "animationEngine"
    createGrc
end openStack

on createGrc
    lock screen
      create grc
    set the style of it to "oval"
    set the height of it to 25
    set the width of it to 25
    set the opaque of it to true
    set the backcolor of it to any line of the colornames
    set the loc of it to random(the width of this cd),random(the  
height of this cd)
    unlock screen
    aeMoveTo the long ID of it,random(the width of this cd),random(the  
height of this cd),1000+random(1000),any item of  
"in,inOut,out,bounce,overshoot"
end createGrc

on resetAnimation
    aeStopMoving "all"
    repeat with i=the number of grcs down to 1
       delete grc i
    end repeat
end resetAnimation

on aeMoveDone
       aeMoveTo the long ID of the target,random(the width of this  
cd),random(the height of this cd),1000+random(1000),any item of  
"in,inOut,out,bounce,overshoot"
end aeMoveDone


Also a shameless plug. If you think about getting AE, keep in mind  
that tis the season again and you can get AE quasi for free along with  
all the other good stuff, if you decide to get yourself the mega  
bundle: http://www.runrev.com/products/mega-bundle-09

All the best,

Malte
