 * @class YAHOO.ext.Actor
 * Provides support for syncing and chaining of Element Yahoo! UI based animation and some common effects. Actors support "self-play" without an Animator.<br><br>
 * <b>Note: Along with the animation methods defined below, this class inherits and captures all of the "set" or animation methods of {@link YAHOO.ext.Element}. "get" methods are not captured and execute immediately.</b>
 * <br><br>Usage:<br>
 * <pre><code>
 * var actor = new YAHOO.ext.Actor('myElementId');
 * actor.startCapture(true);
 * actor.moveTo(100, 100, true);
 * actor.squish();
 * actor.play();
 * <br>
 * // or to start capturing immediately, with no Animator (the null second param)
 * <br>
 * var actor = new YAHOO.ext.Actor('myElementId', null, true);
 * actor.moveTo(100, 100, true);
 * actor.squish();
 * actor.play();
 * </code></pre>
