Can any help

Freeway
1

Hi All

Working on my first site and would like the following to happen.
Once the page is opened I would like two lines of text to drop down or come in from the left over the top of an image.
This is a catch line introducing the page.
Only want it to do it the once.
Can anyone tell me how to do this in Freeway.
Thanks
Mike

Take a look at the Attention FX Action. I don’t know if it can animate in from the left, but it can do other things to draw attention to your message.

Please visit this site which demonstrates the problem:
http://www.panoramas.no/B/Bomlo/slatteroyfyr.html

I attempt to supply the VR-site with a drop-down map, and there are two problems:

a) This has been mentioned a few times here, but swf-files seems to come on top of everything, especially on PC-browsers (on my Mac the drop-down menu works fine using Safari and Firefox, but when using Opera it shuffles behind the VR-picture as it does on PCs). Do any of you have a solution ?

b) The cursor disappears when hovering over the map, but only when it is over the VR-picture. I guess this has to do with the fact that the cursor changes when clicking-and-dragging in the VR, but I need the hand/cursor to be visible when it is over the map. Any suggestions?

I think that the only way you can avoid this is to not have the map and the VR occupying the same space - the VR is going to win out every time.

I was afraid of that, but were hoping somebody would have cracked the
nut. I tried to use the screen realestate more effectively by having
the map cover the VR. If they have to be side by side, the size of the
VR must be reduced accordingly which is a pity.

You could open the map in a pop up window.

I’m afraid the only reliable
cross-browser/cross-platform design approach is
to avoid trying to put something on top of plugin
content. You will never find a reliable way
around that. I suggest you (re)design the page
and the navigation structure with enough room for
the navigation and the panoramas to coexist
without overlapping. Sorry!

General comment: The VR panoramas are well shot
and well produced. However, I find the
auto-rotation speed to be a little on the fast
side.

Thank you all, I have to admit defeat and have made a button to open a
new page with the map.
Is the rotation speed browser-depentant, or will it always be the same
regardless of browser/PC/Mac?

The speed of rotation is a setting that is
embedded in the SWF files by the authoring
application (in this case Pano2VR, one of the
apps I use myself) when they are made. You can’t
control this separately, but if you’re able to
ask the person that produced the VR files perhaps
they’d consider it? It isn’t a major problem, but
it is faster than I’d use for my own VR work.
