dojox.widget.rotator.Fade

Authors:Chris Barber
Project owner:Chris Barber
Available:since V1.4

A fade and cross-fade transition for a dojox.widget.Rotator or dojox.widget.AutoRotator.

Usage

The fade rotator transition is not an instantiated object, but rather a series of functions which consist of:

  • fade() - Returns a dojo.Animation that fades out the current pane, then fades in the next pane.
  • crossFade() - Returns a dojo.Animation that cross-fades two rotator panes.

These functions are invoked by the rotator and may be different per pane.

Each function is passed an object containing the “transitionParams” along with the rotator’s current and next pane which are to be panned, then returns a dojo.Animation object describing the animated sequence.

                ]

            },
            dojo.byId("myAutoRotator1")
        );
    });

<div id="myAutoRotator1" class="rotator"></div>

<button onclick="dojo.publish('myAutoRotator1/rotator/control', ['prev']);">Prev</button>
<button onclick="dojo.publish('myAutoRotator1/rotator/control', ['go', 0]);">Go 1</button>
<button onclick="dojo.publish('myAutoRotator1/rotator/control', ['go', 1]);">Go 2</button>
<button onclick="dojo.publish('myAutoRotator1/rotator/control', ['go', 2]);">Go 3</button>
