<animator>

Changes the value of another object's attribute over time.

JavaScript: LzAnimator

Extends Animatorgroup

Animators change the value of an object's attribute over a specified duration in milliseconds. For example, the following program defines an animator for a window that moves it to a position of x=100 over 1 second (1000 milliseconds).

<canvas>
  <window>
    <animator attribute="x" to="100" duration="1000"/>
  </window>
</canvas>

See the Guide for a complete discussion of animators and animation in Laszlo applications.
