JS animation tutorial??!!

Does anyone know of any good javascript animation tutorial which teaches almost every way to animate(with brief explanation)??

Here is an ascii animation editor that outputs javascript:

Here is a demo of the (edited) output:

Usually though, animations are much more economically done (code wise and usually even byte wise) using animated .gif images.

If you want a movie, now you are talking QuickTime(tm) or Flash(tm). You can Google for help on those.

Using javascript to show a series of images can look like animation but requires much more images and bytes than an animated .gif image.

Thank you jscheuer1 but I am searching for a javascript animation tutorial not a javscript animation tool. I like that software anyways. I don't have flash that's the problem. I can animate gifs but I cannot place then in making navigation systems(like slide out menus). And they will take up a lot of bandwidth if there are a lot of images.

So anyone knows a link to a javascript animation tutorial??
