#Animator:

**Animator** is a helper class to ease your mind when working with animations on Titanium.

##Usage:

In your app.js (or elsewhere), call:

```javascript

// Load the animator helper

var Animator = require("Animator");

```

Now that you have the module initialised you can call one of these animation functions:

* **scale**: increases or decreases the size of the view

* **rotate**: rotates the view

* **fade**: changes the opacity of the view

* **flip**: flips the view (horizontally if nothing is passed)

* **moveTo**: moves the view in the X and Y coordinates

* **sizeTo**: resizing and positioning the view through width, height, bottom, top, left and right

* **backgroundColor**: changes the backgroundColor of the view with fading effect

* **shake**: shake a view like the code dots on the iOS passcode screen

Let's for example scale a window to 80% of its size

```javascript

// Load the animator helper

new Animator().scale({ view: window, value: 0.8, duration: 500 }); 

```

##Helpers inside the helper

Queuing animations can be a pain. That is why you can also find two specials methods called:

* **sequence**: uses an array of animations and queues them one after the other

* **parallel**: uses an array of animations and runs them all at once

Let's do a quick example

```javascript

// do a bunch of animations one after the other	

new Animator().sequence([

{ 

	type: "scale", 

	view: pink, 

	value: 1.5, 

	duration: 500 }, 

{ 

	type: "rotate", 

	view: pink, 

	value: 57, 

	duration: 500 } ,

{ 

	type: "fade", 

	view: blue, 

	value: 0.8, 

	duration: 500 } ,

{ 

	type: "moveTo", 

	view: pink, 

	value: {x: 0, y: 200 }, 

	duration: 500 }, 

]);

```

Without the **sequence** method, achieving the same result without the previous code will be a nesting nightmare.
