this isn’t the easiest example giving you a detailed and honest or even helpful answer. Let me say it that way:
If you know:
how to build a rock-solid inflow-framework
how to deal with external CSS
how to deal with extra JavaScript
chances are better than without. It furthermore is of advantage to know “how to inspect items and elements” within a browser, just to figure out what happens.
Freeway can manage nearby all (I really do not know what not) - but it requires a user adopting this challenge in order to suck the best out of it.
The basic “effect” is a vertical carousel, something like this:
which could be a good starting point. The entire page is furthermore fulfilled by other JS events which takes time to figure out.
It is, kind of. The animated object are a different story, too complex at this point. I’d use something like Tim’s AnimationFX action (objects only) which you can get by buying the ‘Monarch’ template.
But the Apple-iPhone5-like page-scrolling-effect can be done. it’s no walk in the park, but yes. I’d use the tech stuff offered by The Pete R. look at his demo and here’s the download of the resources. It’s a matter of scripts and css which can be mimicked in Freeway. A trial-and-error kind of practice, but definitely worth the trouble.
I’ll take a look in my archives, perhaps I’ve held on to my attempt.
I’ve been following this discussion and am keen to get to grips with such a set up as this. Is there any guidance on how to implement such a layout? Is it a case of using ESS or the external Javascript actions?
I’m a novice wae javascript but hoper his might be the moment tae get on a learning curve.

I have made a demo but its a FW7 version. link below to Álvaro’s documentation
Thanks for this. Its very helpful I am picking my way through this and getting a deal of insight into how such pages are constructed. A lot of questions many of which I am trying to resolve myself. I have set the files up on a domain just now and am able to get into the code etc which is very interesting.
Is such a page possible in FW5.6.5? I am looking to upgrade soon to version 7 but in the meantime I am curious if there is any reason if it can’t be achieved in the version I am currently using.
certainly no expert and think you would need to know box model layout. Maybe good time to upgrade to get the most from plugin and possibly easier in long run.
If you aren’t organised then I’m not sure what that makes me!
Really grateful for your direction here. I am working my way through this. On the learning curve and at the moment it seems a bit exponential! The setting up of the elements is not so bad but how the script works is requiring more study.
I am taking this as an opportunity to revisit what I do and how I try to do it and part of that will I think need me to upgrade to version 7. Are there any obstacles which make the jump from 5.6.5 to 7 particularly difficult to with points to consider?
Its inspired me to speed up what I am doing a bit regards upgrading. The construction using version 7 does look a lot more manageable and with more variables regards page setup.
There are many challenges ahead in terms of rebuilding the sites I already have set up as well as having to do multiple layouts for each of them with some of them being significant in terms of number of pages.
I can also see that the responsive setup appears to foster a similarity regards site layouts so the challenge for me is to try to translate existing designs as they are into responsive designs without losing the individuality of the sites look. Its starting all over to an extent. I’m not complaining as it is an opportunity to develop my understanding.
I shall start with something more simple and see how I go.
Returning to this I guess I am as interested in the contraction of the main menu as much as the page scroll.
Does anyone have an idea if the main menu can be created using existing actions or CSS?
