how to get the highest resolution timeout from prototype (like scriptaculous)

Question

What is the timing method and interval that scriptaculous uses in prototype for its smooth tweening? PeriodicalExecuter?

Answer 1

Method: setTimeout(), setInterval()

Interval: Milliseconds

You can also adjust the frame rate that Scriptaculous uses to make animations smoother (results vary by browser and the user's machine speed unfortunately):

fps: Target this many frames per second. Default to 25. Can’t be higher than 100.

Example: new Effect.Fade('myDiv',{fps:60})
