Calling Walter re: carousel

Hi Walter,

a question please… with your wonderful carousel action is it possible to make the panes scroll in from the left hand side ? ie opposite to the way they do normally.

still trying to resolve the flash content not being hidden by certain browsers, if it could scroll the other way the flash content might be pushed off screen and then technically invisible - I hope

any help welcome

thanks

Gary

Sorry, no. The whole direction thing is set in the Glider.js script,
which I didn’t write. As far as I know, there is no direction
parameter you could toggle to make it work in the opposite direction.
Have you tried setting wmode:transparent on the individual Flash
elements? That might help them be hidden by HTML.

Hi Walter,

thanks for that, at least I can tell the client that’s a NO.

I created the SWF file using textosterone and I haven’t seen a way to set it to transparent in the program settings…

Or… am I having a ‘blonde moment’ and you mean do it via the extended dialogue window for the flash item itself in Freeway ?

Yes, this is where you have to set it. It’s done on the object or
embed tab of that dialog (don’t have any Flash movies handy to try
this out to see what the name is). Definitely don’t set it on the DIV
or DIV Style tab.

Cheers Walter, that seems to have done it, even in Opera 10 where it was a real dogs dinner !

slight problem with the webyep bit in Safari but I can cure that.

went to item> extended> embed tag > name=wmode > value=transparent

perhaps somebody with IE could check it out for me please
