Carousel... new version?

I just DLd the newest version, and I can’t seem to get it to work? I don’t get the Carousel action at all when I group panes, but something called Observer??? Hmmm… what did I do? I’m still using beta 3, so maybe I should use my old version of protaculous…

Check to be sure that your panes are all layers, and that the group
itself is also a layer. I just spent a long while trying to debug
this, only to find that the Big Blue Button was off and the items
were not layered.

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I think I didn’t have the actions within a “general” folder when I copied from one machine to the other? When I created a folder within actions called “general” it started working again… Hmmm. That’s the only thing I can think of! P.S. What’s the Observer function???

If you have fooled around with the Protaculous action at all, you
will note that it allows you to attach an event observer to the page
load. This is a JavaScript function that runs as soon as the page
loads, and does something – anything – in that instant. It’s the
“correct” way to do something that you might have made happen using
‘body onload=“myGreatFunction()” …’

Well, the Observer function is like that, but for individual page
elements. Draw something on the page, attach the Observer Action to
it, and you will find that you can apply a different Prototype-scoped
function to each of the four basic events in that object’s life:
click, double-click, mouseover, and mouseout. (Note that click and
double-click are mutually exclusive.)

It’s very much a geek-level version of the various effects that Joe
has built into the Scriptaculous Action. If you know how to write
your own Prototype (or Scriptaculous) functions, you can use Observer
to sneak them into your Freeway page very easily.
