Hello,
I am using platform Freeway Pro 5.5. And I am a basic user.
I am looking at designing an horizontal website and I am at the very
early stage of the design working out the navigation.
I would like to add in some navigation as follows:
Fixed button advance to the right by a set pixel distance with
smooth scroll.
Is there an action that could that ?
Carousel will do that, but instead of scrolling the window, it scrolls
an area within the page a fixed distance per click. If you want to
make a really truly wide page with a browser scrollbar sideways, I
don’t know of an Action that will do that for you. (In my experience,
these latter sorts of pages have serious problems, since they only
truly work as designed when the visitor’s window is exactly one width,
and users can set theirs to whatever they want – or their hardware
will support.)
Also, I would like to insert a code so that the right arrow produces
the same effect, i.e smooth scroll to the right by the same pixel
distance.
That wouldn’t be too hard to do, it’s a matter of hooking into the
same observer that manages clicks on the “next” button. It would take
a few minutes’ head-scratching to do.
Finally, is there a way to change the control of the wheel on the
mouse so that instead of scroll up and down, it makes the user
scroll left to right?
This is possible, but kind of iffy usability-wise. The scroll wheel
has a predictable behavior for the user, and it’s not a really great
idea to break that mental model.
