HELP! I’ve got a sequence timer running through a series of layers when the page loads, but if I use the HTML5 video action on the same page, the sequence will not run. Any suggestions?
Yes. That’s because the HTML 5 video Action seems to use JQuery, and the sequence timer Action uses Scriptaculous. These two JavaScript libraries don‘t get on.
I have a quick and dirty HTMNL5 Action that I wrote as a demo which you can try. It outputs just HTML5 - no extra Flash players though.
Thanks Paul. I used Flash video for now, so we’ll see how that works out for the client. I’m trying to get that video as “universally compatible” as possible, but I need to have some sort of slideshow or scroll feature for the site’s “Fatal Phrases” feature, too. Very frustrating.
Resolving GoDaddy’s missing MIME type for m4v was a headache, too.
The content is just text. The client wanted these quotes to scroll, but it didn’t make sense to do that since it would have to either stop at the end or snap back to the first quote. I figured a layer sequence would be easiest since that can run as a loop with controlled timing.
Yes, something like those… as long as they’re compatible with the HTML5 video action. I’m not sure if the JavaScript incompatibility is page-specific or if having those actions anywhere on the site causes a problem.
As an aside, if the Relative Page Layout is applied to this site, the home and (especially) contact pages fail to load properly.
