Stopping Fx.Morph animation

[3demax]

I was trying to stop morphing animation and preserve state of element
with interrupted animation

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

works as intended, sorry for disturbing :/
well, i'll try to dig further my code.

Hey Max,

Nope, you were doing awright. The problem though that native CSS transformations (which RightJS uses in modern browsers by default) cannot be stopped in the middle. Technically there is no API to stop them at all, so we use a hack which stops the animation but the state of the element jumps straight to the end of the animation.

If you're really need to stop it in the middle use the `engine: 'javascript'` option with your effect, kinda like that

$('box').morph({

  duration: 500,

  transition: 'Sin',

  engine: 'javascript'

});

In this case RightJS will use it's internal purely JavaScript engine to make the style transition and when you call it to stop it will freeze in the middle

A minute before your reply I remembered of this problem of css
transitions, and tried to use engine: "js" and it also works:)
BTW, don't you plan on making dirty hack for stopping css transitions?
(I can imagine only computing current state based on initial and
ending states and time last from animation initiation start to the
moment of stopping)
Anyway thanks for quick reply.

I could make a hack around it, but the case is so rare and workaround is so simple that the overhead just doesn't worth of it
