I have about a dozen logos that need to scroll on the front page and include links to their sites. It’s a way to say thanks to last year’s sponsors. Any ideas how to accomplish this easily with various size/ratio logos?
I am trying to use the slideshow and its not working - it keeps stuttering and one logo flicks on first over the others. I dont like its behavior.

Hi Beatrice – do you mean similar to this effect?
On the left hand side, there is a rolling montage. It would be possible to have a clickable link from each image as it appears. If this is what you are after, it’s done using a combination of the ‘Sequence Timer’ page action and then the ‘Target Show/Hide Layer’ action applied to each layer containing an image. The layers are simply stacked up one on another. I can give full details of method and settings should you require them.

Hi Ian,
In your site:

I’d be very interested how you created/coded the dropdown menus?
I have a site that I need to redesign and the menu system would fit in
really well.
Best wishes Peter

Hi Peter - they were done using the ‘Menu Bar’ action.
It’s detailed on page 355 of the Freeway 5 Reference Manual available here:
http://www.softpress.com/support/freeway5referenc.php
There are several ways of precisely implementing this. In this case, it involved first creating a text list (not an html list) of links in a single cell table. This was done four times, one per drop-down button. Each list will be used by one of the drop-down buttons, and is placed off the edge of the page.
Each of the drop down buttons is contained within a single cell table having the Menu Bar action applied, and containing the normal and mouseover graphic states for each of the buttons, via use of the ‘Rollover’ action.
It would have been possible to create a four cell table containing the drop-down buttons, and then have these link via the Menu Bar action to an off page four cell table, each cell containing an appropriate list, relevant to each button in turn.
By splitting the Menu Bar table, I can position the buttons where I like.
Now I’m more familiar with the CSS menu action and how to extend it, I’d probably go that route if I were doing this again, as the reference manual actually recommends.
