I'm struggling with a simple animation in jQuery, I figured I could ask for help!
Here's a working Fiddle of where am at right now : http://jsfiddle.net/hAWAw/1/
The JS
setInterval(function() {
var number = Math.floor(Math.random() * 9);
$('#digit1').animate({
top: "-45px"
}, 300, function() {
$(this).css('top', '0px');
$('#digit1').text(number);
});
}, 1000);
I'm looking for the same effect as on a digital clock, when you see the number flipping.
Please note that im not using images, only text.
So I want the number to appear first at the bottom out of the square, so we cant see it. animate to the middle of the square, stay there a bit, and then animate to the top, so we cant see it anymore. Just like a 3d rotation .
Any help?
Oh and then the next step is that I dont want it to animate every x seconds. I want a more "natural" feeling so it can animate after 2 seconds or after 30 sec lets say. To do this, I thought using setTimeout instead of setInterval, but that didnt work!
