Using Transitions & Actions together
January 30, 2007 12:00 AM
Well, I may be able to help. The transactions happen once the state is started. So all three boxes are triggered at time 0 when the page shows. However, box 1 waits one second and then shows. Now it will stay visible forever until some action tells it to hide. When that action runs, then it will delay 5 seconds. Second, On Show actions do not run UNTIL the object is completely shown. So, 7 seconds into the performance, box 2 shows. But transactions take a second or two so somewhere around 8 seconds the action to hide box 1 is run. Ok, now box one will wait 5 seconds (because you told it to delay 5 seconds) and then it will transition out, probably somewhere around 13 seconds into the performance which is about the time you have box 3 transitioning in. So, now around 13 seconds into the show, the action on box 3 hides box 2. Box 2 says, OK in 11 seconds -- your delay. In other words, the delay times are measured from the time starting to show or hide, NOT from when the page is shown.
