Walter,
I gave the Mac a re-start (when all else fails!) - and it now works without any errors.

Can anyone else with Safari 2 check if this works (do the buttons work correctly?)

My Safari 2 here does not seem to like it, (but in Firefox it seems to be OK)

Hi David,
works fine in FF and Camino, in Safari 2 in just jumps from first to last images, bypasses the middle image
Am going out of the office now but if you need it checking again I’ll be back early this evening

Checked in safari 3 and it all looks ok so it must be a limitation of Safari2

Yup, I see the problem, and the reason for it. I’ve revved the Action to fix it.
If you did not create your own link on the direction buttons, then the Action made one for you, but I forgot to quote the href value. This is why the buttons would not work reliably.
Also there’s an early version of the Carousel Tabs action. It is very incomplete, so don’t use it without expecting it to fail. You must wrap your tabs with a div called ‘controls’ before the buttons will work, I am adding that to the action when I get a chance.

Walter,
Just tried applying the revved action, but the same behaviour with the buttons happened

Here’s a test with the Carousel Tab action (does not work in Safari 2):

There’s something very odd about the HTML that your layers are creating. They seem to be missing their outer shell somehow. Either Freeway or the Action has skipped directly into the content of each layer.
Try the following steps, and see if you get a working carousel. Please also send me your current document so I can see how you have built the current incarnation.
Preview and see if it works.

Followed exactly the steps and it works (somewhere along the line I must have missed selecting something that Freeway did not like).
Its working here in Safari 2:

This is great guys. I only posted this a couple of weeks ago and already there is an action!
If you could just talk me through the way to create manual anchors? I tried to follow what you said but I must not have got it somewhere…
Cheers once again

Just to be sure, (with regards to the carousel action) what do you mean extactly by manual anchors? or do you mean ‘buttons’ to drive the carousel?

Don’t get too excited, I would not use this in prime time, as IE will, and does, spoil the party.

I have the visual problems solved, but now there is an offsettop
error in IE’s bargain-basement JavaScript interpreter. Give it
another day or so and I should have it fixed.

I mean at the moment the action for making buttons to drive the carousel only allows for previous and next whereas I would like to create buttons that take you to a specific layer in the stack…

If you’ve got the latest version of the action from Walter’s site, create a set of graphic item 1,2,3 etc , and apply the carousel tab action to each, from the item menu, then select the name of the layer to go to, from a drop down menu in the actions palette, (its easier if you name the layer to something sensible before you start.)

Any idea where to get this latest version of the action? I followed the link that was posted earlier on in this thread and it only contains the carousel and carousel button actions but not the carousel tab action. Is there a link to the latest version of the action?

It’s in there. You have to have a graphic or pass-through image
selected before you will see it appear in the Item > Actions menu.

Except it is horribly broken in IE Windows, which I am working on,
but haven’t fixed yet.
The thing is, it just works beautifully in the original demo, on all
platforms. But when I try to recreate that exact code with Freeway, I
run into trouble with the relative/absolute positioning of child
elements on the panes. (The original demo just has plain inline
construction within the panes.)
I went a long way down the rabbit hole last night, trying to route
around the problem, but it didn’t work on any platform once I was
done. So I reverted back, and am trying to think out another solution
to the Windows problem. Maybe a nice big EMP over Redmond (timed
neatly to coincide with Tim being back in the UK).
