Is this possible in Javascript?

**fogalista** · 05-30-2010 10:47 AM

Hello All,

I have searched for this in google and can not find any solutions so far, what I am looking for is something that works exactly the same as this http://www.oxylusflash.com/flashfile...ler-as3-01-xml

but in javascript either using jquery or any other library.

As stated I have not yet found anything like this in javascript and am wondering if it is at all possible to implement before I have a go at it my self, and what difficulties are likely to arise trying to implement it.

Any help much appreciated.

It can be done with jQuery and a bunch of plugins.

Its possible, but it will take time to reproduce that AS3 effect.

Rather in native JavaScript, as I think it is almost impossible to modify the JQuery's code (or any other framework's) without messing things up.

Plug-ins do not modify jQuery's core. They extend from it. jQuery's plug-ins offer additional methods and effects that can bu used.

I would part from the jQuery UI, which has lots of good features to reproduce the effect.

However, taking into account Kor's thought I would develop something myself entirely using only jQuery as a framework to simplify some things.

Agree. Except that the number of the different plug-ins is finite, while the coder or client supplementary needs are not

Usually, the client wants an extension which is not available as plug-in, thus you have to code it somehow alone. One of the Murphy's Law, I presume

A corollary is that the client usually wants a small (he thinks) extension at the end, after you have used a plug-in or another, and things can not be changed in the manner he wants, unless you start everything from the beginning
