Can someone please enlighten me as to how to link my carousel buttons to my tabs graphics.
So when tabs are rolled over they are highlighted (rollover action), and when clicked it selects the correct pane within my carousel! Done!!
When I want to link the buttons to the tabs I get lost… Like on the panic site. So once the next/prev buttons are clicked the correct tab is thus highlighted and the carousel scrolls too.
This may have been covered? But there are so many variations of this thread, which version to use, what version you have a so on… I am using the latest version from the forge BTW!
I think this forum needs a definitive section that only the administrator has the ability to upload the latest ‘workings’ of that particular action, where it specifies the author, the FW version used, the action version used, and date so users can see when it was last updated etc etc.
I know this forum is kinda like it, but it would make life so much easier if there was a section like this on here.
When you create a button, you choose which Carousel (multiple carousel
effects on each page are possible) you want it to drive, and in which
direction. If you have created an .active style to highlight your
“chosen” tab, then using the buttons will change that as well.
The tabs aren’t pressed physically when this happens, so if you are
using Rollover and a click event to set your “active” status on the
tabs, you’ll have to stop that, look over the instructions for
creating the .active style in Freeway’s style palette, and use that
technique instead. The results can be visually identical, and the
decoupled controls are a real delight to work with.

Thanks Walt, I have read past posts and got a basic idea. however, do you have a link to a more detailed description (knowledge base) perhaps an external site where I can read more about this please Walt.
