Re: Interesting read about scriptless animation

Hi David,

I think if I use svg tags that the code will get through the E-mail 
filter, so I will try again with svg tags.

This will not blink,

<svg
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   version="1.0"
   width="744"
   height="200"
   id="svg_anm_atb_ctrl"
   >


    <set attributeName="opacity" id="sa_g2_0_f0" to="0" dur="6s"
       begin="0s; sa_g2_0_f2.end"/>

     <set attributeName="opacity" id="sa_g2_0_f2" to="1"
       begin="6s; sa_g2_0_f0.end" dur="6s"/>
</svg>

I guess because it only uses the "Set" tag.

This will blink,

<svg
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
   version="1.0"
   width="744"
   height="200"
   id="svg_anm_atb_ctrl"

     <set attributeName="opacity" id="sa_g2_0_f0" to="0" dur="6s"
       begin="0s; scl_g2_0_f3.end"/>

     <set attributeName="opacity" id="sa_g2_0_f2" to="1"
       begin="6s; scl_g2_0_f3.end+6s" dur="6s"/>

     <g id="scl_g2_0" parnt_nod="g2_0">

       <use x="0" y="0" id="us_g2_0" width="1000" height="1000" 
xlink:href="#g2_sprt"/>

       <animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML" 
type="scale"
         fill="remove" repeatCount="1"
         begin="0s; scl_g2_0_f3.end" dur="6s" id="scl_g2_0_f0" 
from="0.6" to="0.15"/>

       <animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML" 
type="scale"
         fill="remove" repeatCount="1"
         begin="6s; scl_g2_0_f3.end+6s" dur="3s" id="scl_g2_0_f2" 
bgn_scl_nmbr="0.15"
         from="0.15" to="0.3" />

       <animateTransform attributeName="transform" attributeType="XML" 
type="scale"
         fill="remove" repeatCount="1" begin="9s; scl_g2_0_f2.end" dur="3s"
         id="scl_g2_0_f3" from="0.3" to="0.6" />

     </g>
</svg>

because it references the "set" tags to the "animateTransform" tags.

In most languages, the creators make an attempt to be consistent with 
how the language functions. In SVG, we have the same attributes working 
differently depending on the owner tag. If "begin" and "end" work 
differently in "animateTransform" than in "set", then that will be 
confusing. It would be better to make them work the same or call them 
something else.

Best Regards,
Joe
