    There are plenty of examples on using the new animations server side with the UpdatePanelAnimateExtender, but I can't seem to find any help on creating a new animation client side through javascript. The animation reference page is helpful but could someone provide a working example? At the moment I keep getting 'AtlasControlToolkit' is not defined errors when trying to create a ColorAnimation.

    Hi mattdurrant,

    Here's a simple example:
     
    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="AtlasControlToolkit" Namespace="AtlasControlToolkit" TagPrefix="atlasToolkit" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server"><title>Test Page</title></head>
<body><form runat="server"><div>
    <atlas:ScriptManager runat="server" />
    <atlasToolkit:AnimationExtender runat="server" />
    <button onclick="playAnimation();">Animate</button><br />
    <div id="myDiv">Content</div>
    
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function playAnimation()
        {
            AtlasControlToolkit.Animation.ScaleAnimation.play(
                new Sys.UI.Control($('myDiv')), .5, 20, 5, 'px', false, true, 'pt');
        }
    </script>
</div></form></body>
</html>
    If you're getting errors about AtlasControlToolkit not being defined, it's because you're trying to use it before the scripts have loaded.

    Thanks,
    Ted

    Does the same thing work for Beta as well?

     I included <ajaxToolkit:AnimationExtender runat="server"></ajaxToolkit:AnimationExtender>

    and it is giving me an error: "System.InvalidOperationException: The TargetControlID of '' is not valid. The value cannot be null or empty."

     

    Thanks.

    Posted too soon :)

     This works: <ajaxToolkit:AnimationExtender runat="server" ID="AnimationReference"></ajaxToolkit:AnimationExtender>

     

    forgot to set the ID :)

    althougth the page loads up fine now, have to add TargetControlID and reference an empty ASPPanel to get it to work, but the following doesnt work

     HTML:

    <div id="faveThing" />

    Javascript on a Click Event:

    var _faveThingCTRL = new Sys.UI.Control($get('faveThing'));
    AjaxControlToolkit.Animation.FadeOutAnimation.play(_faveThingCTRL, 30, 5, 10, 80, true);


    Object of type "Object" cannot be converted to type AjaxControlTolkit.Animation.FadeOutAnimation;. Parameter name: instance

     

    Anyone know why?

     

    Thanks.

    Don't create a new control.  Just pass an element:

    AjaxControlToolkit.Animation.FadeOutAnimation.play($get('faveThing'), 30, 5, 10, 80, true);

    Hi daka,

    You're trying this code:
         AjaxControlToolkit.Animation.FadeOutAnimation.play($get('faveThing'), 30, 5, 10, 80, true); 
    and it's not working?

    Thanks,
    Ted

    i think <atlasToolkit:AnimationExtender should be

    <ajaxToolkit:AnimationExtender.... Also "TargetControlID" should need to be specified.

    Here is a tutorial I wrote sometime ago that you may want to look at regarding animations. There are links to many other articles I have written on:

    SQL Server 2005, SQL Anywhere 10, ASP.NET 2.0<AjaxToolKit, Cold Fusion, Oracle XE, MS Access, MS FoxPro, Ajax, Dojo, Json and many others.
