We often have the problem of sequencing animations and events, e.g. 1. close all windows, 2. move somewhere else, 3. open windows.
To make our lives a little bit easier I was looking for a simple class that we can use to sequence those tasks. I looked around but couldn’t find anything that was small, simple to fit our needs. So I wrote one called SimpleSequencer.
November 7th, 2008 by Daniel / 2 CommentsWe are extremely excited about attending Adobe MAX this year. The Spaceship has quite a presence at the conference this time around, with 3 sessions, 4 speakers and an unconference lined up… and that’s just as far as I know!
Our schedule along with links to the sessions synopsis’ are after the jump.
November 5th, 2008 by Jamie / 0 CommentsThanks to everyone who watched my presentation during the <head> conference last Saturday. Aral put together a great event, and despite not being able to hear the audience laugh uproariously at my hysterical jokes, I very much enjoyed giving the presentation.
I mentioned during the presentation that I would post the Big Spaceship end tag somewhere so those people for who it did not play through smoothly could see it. I am hoping to have that done sometime this week, so check back soon.

What isn’t fun is having the user leave the site to check mail, work, oh, I don’t know, do something else and have the site continually scroll. In steps ‘Event.MOUSE_LEAVE’.
