You’re subscribed to a mailing list, all messages arrive “to” you, but are sent by me to the general list address.

Walter, You may have my address confused with one of your many other fans, I’m not sure. On the other hand, anything you send this way is a learning experience for me on some level… So thanks, send whatever you feel like, whenever you feel like it.

It looks as though your panes aren’t all the same dimensions. You need to make all of the panes exactly the same size and with exactly the same border, and stacked directly above one another. Then group them, then apply the Carousel action to the group. Then if you have any controls that you need associated with it, you need to group the controls with the (already grouped) Carousel.

2) I’d like to build one carousel gallery for each number on the left (i.e 1a, 1b, 1c… for thumbnail ‘1’ so as 2a, 2b, 2c… for thumbnail 2). If you kindly guide me how to do that.

Hmmm. That’s going to get very very heavy, very fast. Remember, every single option in every carousel will be loaded by the page before any of this will start working. You might be better off making each carousel a separate page, and making them all identical. So the site would look like this:

carousel1.html #1a #1b #1c #1d #1e

carousel2.html #2a #2b …etc.

This will be a lot more manageable in Freeway, too.

But if you really really want to do this, then you would make a new layer for each carousel to live on, and apply the Show Hide Target Layer action to that layer. When you draw each Carousel, you would take care to select that layer first, then draw your panes directly on that layer (so they are children of the layer that you will show and hide). Then use Rollover on the numbered boxes at the left of your layout to trigger the “show” for each of the initially hidden layers.

It’s going to get mighty confusing in Freeway, not to mention heavy for the users, but yes, it could all be done in one page in this way.

You are a STAR.

I take your advice, that’s more logical way to build a gallery.

Many thanks for such prompt help. Much appreciate.

Hi Walter,

Please forgive me to write you again asking some more help.

Have tried the Carousel action and it is in deed very close to what I’m looking for. Have a look at the link below…

http://www.thebookdesign.com/try/carousel.html

I have 2 more questions -

1) There’s a black border that appears on the right and bottom of the main image area… how to get rid of that?

2) I’d like to build one carousel gallery for each number on the left (i.e 1a, 1b, 1c… for thumbnail ‘1’ so as 2a, 2b, 2c… for thumbnail 2). If you kindly guide me how to do that.

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, that’s a great idea. I’ll have to post a demo of that!

The Carousel could get you somewhere near this, but it would not be an exact match. Try this, and see if it does most of what you want.

Follow the instructions carefully to design your page, and set the auto-scroll time to 2 or 3. Make your forward-back buttons below the carousel area, and don’t bother with the tabs.

Auto-scroll will automatically start flipping between photos when the page loads. Any click on a control will cancel the auto-scroll feature, so they will have to “drive manually” from that point on.

If you really need to be able to start the auto-scroll again, let me know. There’s a way to do it, but it will be very tricky until I add the ability to the Action. If there’s enough interest, I’ll put it on the wish list.

Is there anyway to achieve similar result with FW without using Flash?

This gallery was created in Flash. There are 3rd party apps that output Flash files, but i’m not sure you can get this same result.

Hi Chuckmuck…

I’m not a programmer at all! so you can imagine… :-)

I think I’ll have no other choice than building a simple gallery.

Will try doing some experiment with Freeway actions.

Thanks for your help.

Possible sure, but how good of a Javascript programer are you? As far as a simple, easy, native Freeway way to do this….i’m afraid not. You can certainly set the thumbnails, and get photos to auto display and fade between them with the built in actions, but the interface buttons would have to be programed.
