The whole point about an object is that it is self contained and you don't need to understand it to be able to use it. Of course, it's very good and I'm sure I can find a use for it.

In my mind the article did not meet its goals. Timeline_Add(ms, fn)  and Timeline_RUN() were not well explained.  To me this defeats the purpose of the article.  Sure I can use this clever code, but I'd like to understand what the code does.  Considering I've been doing DHTML for a while and am not a beginner, I expected a better explanation, with respect to these advanced uses of the javascript language.

I find that the object is too complex and most of its tasks could be solved by something like: function timeline_object() {  this.events = new Array();  this.eventsRun = new Array();  } function timeline_run() {  count = this.events.length;  for (x=0; x<count; x++) {   window.setTimeout(this.eventsRun[x],this.events[x]);   }  } Timeline = timeline_object; new Timeline(); Timeline.prototype.run = timeline_run; A sample code would then look like: t = new Timeline(); t.events[0] = 1000; t.eventsRun[0] = "animation.run()"; t.events[1] = 2000; t.eventsRun[1] = "animationTwo.run()"; In combination with a Animation object this could be a powerfull script, even though its simpler.

is it just me or is this similar to the Macromedia Dreamweaver timeline script... Probably just me...
