Forgive me if this is not the best forum to ask this question in. I'm not sure where to start, so maybe someone here can direct me.
Using html and jquery/javascript, I want an animation of one item flipping over another item. Almost as if someone is taking a page out from a file and replacing it on top of another page in the file.
Please see attached picture for referance.
If (and only if) you need some custom animations, check out this sweet jQuery plugin: http://weepy.github.com/jquery.path/
It should get you going in the right direction. Your general approach:
Create a path that swings Box2 into position in step 4.
Change z-index of Box2 to be on top of Box1.
Animate Box2 back along the same path in the opposite direction.
Addition: here's a good ReadMe for creating your path: https://github.com/weepy/jquery.path/blob/master/README.markdown
Addtion #2: It was asked how to do rotation, so I dug up a couple plugins to do that:
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/AnimateRotation
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/jQueryRotate
If anyone has experience with either of these (I don't) leave a comment below for the OP!
Rotation
http://code.google.com/p/jqueryrotate/
http://code.google.com/p/jqueryrotate/wiki/Examples
This plugin is for images specifically while in CSS3 compatible browser other elements will work in older browsers and IE: don't expect other elements to work.
Example:
$myContainer = $('selector');
$myContainer.rotate({animateTo:45}).animate({'left':100,'top':-100}, function(){
$myContainer.css('z-index', 2).rotate({animateTo:0}).animate({'left':0,'top':0});
});
Maybe try to combine it with http://weepy.github.com/jquery.path/ (credit to Adam Terlson for posting it) for smooth path animation. Looks like a great plugin.
In my experience rotating in IE is always glitchy.
I adopted couple scripts a while back into something that worked best for me: http://pastebin.com/kDK9mu9W however I did this for a project of mine and never test it outside and it does not have animation - you would need to use a interval.
IE7, IE8 & CSS3 compatible browser support for all elements. Images are wrapped in divs to prevent filter conflicts.
Is this a question? You certainly could use jquery to do this and there are already some plugins that offer something similar. See the shuffle type animation of jCycle
http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/
I'm sure you could take a look at the code there to get some pointers on how to proceed.
There's an excellent tutorial here that explains the basics of sprite animation with jQuery. It's not a solution for your specific question, but it offers a quick introduction to the concepts you'll need.
Have two divs with appropriate Z-scores. Animate div to slide top right, as soon as div is completely free, switch z-score and reverse animation.

Hi I have to animate using Javascript or somme kind of library (or CSS, whatever works best).
I am more of a PHP coder and I am not a Javascript expert. I am not exactly sure how to explain what I need so I am going to try explain it visually by adding a (badly drawn) picture:
I need help in how I can proceed with this, whether you can tell me what terms I can search for on Google, links to articles, anything will be appreciated.
Here a global list of what you can use to animate something (all of these combined with a scroll listener in your case)
Anime.js if you don't care about IE<11
Canvas also can be good option and has wide browser support
Keyframes used with classlist api to fire animation when it needed
Sometimes you can just change src of image to gif (without endless animation in your case)
I recommend you to just using GIF here if you can.
I´m currently developing my first jQuery Plugin. It´s called Fraction Slider and is a Slideshow-Framwork which allows you to animate unlimited elements (with different animations, delay, etc) per slide.
Here you can find a small demo, and also the documentation:
Demo
It´s also hosted in the jQuery Plugin repository
So, introduction is over ;)
Now i have a few question:
The general code. What could i improve, what should be replaced, etc.
As you can see, when us different animations, delays, speeds etc. the html tag for each element will have an awfully lot of data-... attributes. I would like to make that a bit more easy and maybe with less markup (damn, i dont know how to say this in english).
How could i do that - any ideas or suggestions?
What should i add to the plugin? I was think about pager/controls, fading and simple show/hide effect and maybe making it responsive.
Last but not least: i would be happy to get some general feedback about the plugin and its realization.
Looks like it doesn't support chaining. e.g.
$('.step-slider').fractionSlider().remove();
I need to build a multi-directional JQuery parallax page for a client - they basically want it to work in a similar way to this - https://victoriabeckham.landrover.com/INT
I have the artwork ready and have found many jquery libraries that will allow me to scroll horiz/vertical - but i'm not sure how to combine both together at a specific co-ordinate.
Could anyone please point me in a the right direction?
Edit: I did originally sign this post off having looked into Superscrolarama and thinking all was solved - but having struggled with implementing it - I dont think its quite the saviour I thought it was, I need both horizontal and vertical parallax as well as scrolling to achieve above, which it doesn't seem to support - so any other tips I'd be very grateful for!
I threw something together is jsfiddle for you.
http://jsfiddle.net/9R4hZ/40/
The script initializes the start positions of all of the objects first. Then handlers are set up for arrow key and mouse wheel. After that is the meat of the algorithm in the parallaxScroll function.
It uses the ARROWS or MOUSEWHEEL for scrolling.
There are from [left, right, top, bottom] transitions.
The HTML and CSS are really simple.
The JS/jQuery that runs it is self explanatory.
It's an interesting effect, that seems to be geared for artsy type sites.
Did you look into librairies like Scrollrama http://johnpolacek.github.com/scrollorama/ or Curtain http://curtain.victorcoulon.fr/?
I know in your question you mention that you already looked into different librairies but depending how they work it's difficult to really suggest how to use proper coordinates.
*edit1
If you didn't see it yet, the auther of scrollorama also did superscrollorama which give a bit more controler over the animation for example animation when an element is pinned.
http://johnpolacek.github.com/superscrollorama/
This article in smashinghub.com shows a collection of JQuery plugin for scrolling and parallax effect I'm totally sure one of them will help you.
it looks like jQuery Scroll Path is the most advanced of them or suit your requirements.
I realize I'm jumping in late here, and this might seem ultra obvious, but have you tried reverse engineering what they have done on https://victoriabeckham.landrover.com/INT? It looks like the ScrollAnimator script does a bulk of the work. I would download their site & mess with it locally, subtracting parts until I figured out which components provide which pieces of functionality. Then I would read through those to understand how they made it happen.
you have use scrollpath plugin
make path
so this is more a curiosity question than an actual question so please bear with me. I just checked out :
http://www.apple.com/iphone/
And the cover slideshow just looks really impressive to me. I do not want to reproduce it, but I am just genuinely interested in how this works.
From my inspection, they just use a bunch of timed webkit transitions/transformations, but I don't know exactly whats going on.
Also, is there an easy way to create this behavior without hardcoding it, because that's what I would do right now.
Here's an explanation: http://johnbhall.com/iphone-4s/
I'm just answering my own question, since no one could really offer me an answer besides hard coding. I assume Apple just puts a lot of effort in it. i'm still impressed by the sophisticated use of css transitions, especially where objects would transition into the next frame
Here's a working demo with source code.
Basically the idea is,
preload all the images
there's a timer, which fires every N seconds
when the timer fires, start a transformation animation, which slides the new image in.
Elaborations on the idea allow you to stop/reverse/pause/resume, to automatically stop after one cycle, and so on.
The tradename for this effect is "slider". so you can google for slider and find lots of discussion. There are sliders for jquery (nivoslider), there's one for mootools (slideitmoo), there's framework-free options (like the scriptiny demo I linked), and so on.
Does anyone know how to achieve the cover-flow effect using JavaScript to scroll through a bunch of images. I'm not talking about the 3D rotating itunes cover-art, but the effect that happens when you hit the space bar in a folder of documents, allowing you to preview them in a lightbox fashion.
http://www.jacksasylum.eu/ContentFlow/
is the best I ever found.
a true 'CoverFlow', highly configurable, cross-browser, very smooth action, has relections and supports scroll wheel + keyboard control. - has to be what your looking for!
Not sure if you're talking about Coverflow (scroll through images) or Quicklook (preview files in lightbox), try editing your question.
Here's some JS Coverflow implementations:
MooFlow - Coverflow for MooTools
Coverflow in JS proof of concept
Coverflow using JS and CSS Transforms (Webkit only)
I think this is what you want http://addyosmani.com/blog/jqueryuicoverflow/
I tried using the the Jack's Asylum cover flow but it wouldn't let me easily remove and re-add an entire coverflow. I eventually found http://finnrudolph.de/ImageFlow and not only is it more reliable, it's easier to hook into, uses less markup, and doesn't jitter when flipping through images. It's by far the best I've found, and I've tried several on this page.
There is an Apple style Gallery Slider over at
http://www.jqueryfordesigners.com/slider-gallery/ which uses jQuery and the UI.
jCoverflip was just released and is very customizable.
colorbox has such amazing features..loving it.
Also like this one http://www.webappers.com/2008/03/05/galleria-simple-but-nice-jquery-image-gallery/
Is this what you are looking for?
"Create an Apple Itunes-like banner rotator/slideshow with jQuery" is an article explaining how you can make such effect using jQuery.
You can also view the
live demo.
Try Jquery Interface Elements here - http://interface.eyecon.ro/docs/carousel
Here's a sample. http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/carousel.html
I looked around for a Jquery image carousel a few months ago and didn't find a good one so I gave up. This one was the best I could find.
Check out momoflow: http://flow.momolog.info
True coverflow effect, and performant on Webkit (Safari and Chrome) and Opera, ok on Firefox.
Just to let you all know, xFlow! has had some major work done on it and is vastly improved.
Go to http://xflow.pwhitrow.com for more info and the latest version.
i am currently working on this and planning on releasing it as a jQuery-ui plugin.
-> http://coulisse.luvdasun.com/
please let me know if you are interested and what you are hoping to see in such a plugin.
gr
the effect that happens when you hit the space bar in a folder of
documents, allowing you to preview them in a lightbox fashion
Looks like a classic lightbox plugin is needed. This is my favorite jQuery lightbox plugin: http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/. It's easy to customize, etc.
This one looks really promising, and closer to the actual Apple coverflow effect than the other examples:
