Hello 
sorry for my anglish ...

I tried to do an animation and i used it :

.
.
.

var loaded = "FALSE";
var madate = new Date("June 18, 2008 00:00:00");
.
.
.

radar = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "animation radar",
"http://monServeur:8080/wms", {layers:
"radar:"+madate.dateFormat('YmdHis')+":M:FRANCE_5MN", transparent: "TRUE",
format: "image/png"} , { singleTile: true, transitionEffect: 'resize'});

syn_radar_wms.events.register('loadend', radar ,function(e){
           	if (loaded=="TRUE"){
               		play_minute();
           	}
		
                });

.
.
.

function play_minute(){
       			madate.setMinutes(madate.getMinutes()+5);
       			madate_formate = madate.dateFormat('YmdHis');			
       			string = "radar:"+madate_formate+":M:FRANCE_5MN"; 
                      	radar.mergeNewParams({'layers':string});          
                }

.
.
.

<div onclick="loaded='TRUE'; play_minute()">Play (animation Minute + 5)</div>


And that's good 

What do you think about it ?
