Animation Handler

[remenissions]

Hey guys, I'm trying to make an animation handler that I can use in any sittuation. It works, but the only problem I am having is that because the progress is determined by time it will not start at the starting point I give it, I tried to make a work around it but then it messes up the duration. For instance, if I want it to go from 200px to 400px in 1 second the time will keep going but the animation won't begin until it gets from 0 to 200px, which sets the timing off. I've messed with it for manyyyyyyyyyyyy hours trying to figure out how to get this to work. Just no luck yet.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

/* Function : animate(element, control, startPos, endPos, duration, delta); */

function animation(curObj) {
	var start = new Date;		

	/* -Animation Interval- */
		var animation_Interval = setInterval(function() {

			/* -Determine current duration- */					
				var progress = (new Date - curObj.start)/curObj.duration;	

				document.getElementById("testObj").innerHTML = progress + "<br><br>:"+progress+":<br><br>" + document.getElementById("testObj").style.height;
			/* -/Determine current duration- */

			/* -Prevents over-animating- */
				if(progress > 1)
					progress = 1;
			/* -/Prevents over-animating- */

			/* -Animate element- */
				var delta = curObj.delta(progress);
				curObj.control(delta);
			/* -/Animate element- */				

			/* -End animation- */
				if(progress == 1) {
					clearInterval(animation_Interval);
					document.getElementById("testObj").innerHTML = progress + "<br><br>:"+progress+":<br><br>" + document.getElementById("testObj").style.height;
				}
			/* -/End animation- */

		}, curObj.delay || 10);
	/* -/Animation Interval- */

}

function animate(element, control, startPos, endPos, duration, delta) {
	animation({
		id: element,
		delay: 10, 
		start: new Date,
		end: endPos,
		duration: duration || 1000,
		delta: delta || linear,
		control_Id: control,
		control: function(delta) { 
			animation_Control(element, control, startPos, endPos, delta);
		}
	});

}

function animation_Control(element, control, startPos, endPos, delta) {

	/* -Determine increase or decrease && set temporary position- */
		var tempPos = startPos < endPos ?
				endPos*delta > startPos ?
					endPos*delta : 
						startPos : 
				(startPos - (startPos*delta)) > endPos ?
					startPos - (startPos*delta) : 
				endPos;  
	/* -/Determine increase or decrease && set temporary position- */

	/* -Set position- */ 
		var obj = document.getElementById(element);	 
		switch(control) {
			case "width":
				obj.style.width = tempPos + "px";
				break;
			case "height":
				obj.style.height = tempPos + "px";
				break;
			case "left":
				obj.style.left = tempPos + "px";
				break;
			case "right":
				obj.style.right = tempPos + "px";
				break;
			case "top":
				obj.style.top = tempPos + "px";
				break;
			case "bottom":
				obj.style.bottom = tempPos + "px";
				break;
			case "opacity":
				obj.style.opacity = tempPos/10;
				obj.style.filter = 'alpha(opacity=' + tempPos*10 + ')';
				break;
		}
	/* -/Set position- */ 

}

function linear(progress) {
  		return progress;
}

function quad(progress) {
	return Math.pow(progress, 2);
}

function circ(progress) {
   return 1 - Math.sin(Math.acos(progress));
}

function back(progress, x) {
   return Math.pow(progress, 2) * ((x + 1) * progress - x);
}

function bounce(progress) {
	for(var a = 0, b = 1, result; 1; a += b, b /= 2) {
    		if (progress >= (7 - 4 * a) / 11) {
      		return -Math.pow((11 - 6 * a - 11 * progress) / 4, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2);
    		}
  		}
}

var bounceEaseOut = makeEaseOut(bounce);
function makeEaseOut(delta) {  
	return function(progress) {
    		return 1 - delta(1 - progress);
  		}	
}

<button onclick="animate('testObj', 'height', 100, 0, 1000);">Open</button>

<button onclick="animate('testObj', 'height', 350, 100, 1000, linear);">Close</button>

 

<div id="testObj" style="color: white; background-color: blue; width: 80px; height: 50px; position: absolute; left: 10px;"></div>

Knock it off. Read the rules.

What do you mean? I am just trying to get some help correcting the timing on my script. I have made it very readable and just trying to find some one who might know how to help me fix the timing issue.

I don't have an answer for you, but why not just use jQuery (or another library) and use their animation handler? It will make your life much easier.

[remenissions]

Blah, I've never liked Jquery.

[remenissions]

Not that its bad at all I know its easy and simple, I just like to learn things myself. Rather learn how to do it then learn how to use their functions

I used to say the same thing - and did everything in pure javascript... until I learned jQuery. It's still good to know the basics, and occasionally I use them when I need them, but jQuery is extremely lightweight, and very handy. I've never looked back.

I'll take your word on it and give it a try. Ty
