I had a friend comment that the Carousel on the new website was too fast, which is a first.
It’s currently set to Auto Glide Interval of 6 and a duration of .05 seconds. What settings do most of you use for horizontal Carousels? BTW, I don’t recall seeing an Interval Setting before. Has that always been there?

I may need to use another transitioning technique. What other options are available using the Protaculous action?

.05 seconds or .5 seconds? .05 is five hundredths of a second, which is very nearly instantaneous.

Oops, yes, .5 seconds. I sometime bounce projects off of one of my neighbors and he commented that the Carousel made him, and his wife, feel nauseated. The problem is if you go too slow the transition from image to image looks forced. This is a website for a cemetery, which will be used by grieving families so perhaps I should consider another effect. What do you think?

Try ScriptyFader, or NewsCycle and see if a cross-fade is better for this look.

Do they work pretty much the same as Carousel? In other words, can I simply remove the Carousel actions and add one of the afore mentioned options?

ScriptyFader should be a drop-in replacement for Carousel. NewsCycle is completely different construction.

I like easy, so ScriptyFader it is. Thanks Walter.
BTW, have you started a new ActionForge fund yet? If so, what link do I use to contribute?

All I have right now is the “pre-pledge” (which is nothing more than a MailChimp mailing list sign-up form with an extra field for how much you plan to give).

Okay, it’s a deal. BTW, how do you set the order of images in ScriptyFader?

Same as in Carousel. Change the Site pane over to Page, and drag-sort them in the left-hand list.

Oops, I figured it out. I’m good. BTW, how is the spinner thing suppose to work? It doesn’t appear to be working on my site.

The spinner image is supposed to appear while the next image is loading. It kind of depends on the size of your photos how it’s going to look. These images are so large (file-size-wise) that the effect is lost. If you wait until all of the images are loaded, you should be able to see it happen.
There’s something else odd going on in your page. Could you try renaming your fader element from image to something else? Photo, maybe? I can’t pin it down, but there is an exception being raised when the animation goes from the last image to the first, and I am trying to sort out if it is related to the name of the box or not.

Walter, it may have been TypeKit. I was going to use it on this site and decided not to. I just removed the TypeKit code and I’m not seeing any errors.
