[Pro] "flurry" action

I have two graphics (snowflakes) that I’d like to make flurry on the page, but only one appears. Action settings are identical. Is there a limit to how much you can have flurrying on a page?

I think that you can only have 1 instance/graphic per page.

If you want a snow effect there are loads of scripts out there for multiple flakes of differing sizes.

Quick example with a simple bit of javascript and a folder of snow images.

I like the example you sent over. I have downloaded it (the file folder), now how do I get it to work? Thanks.

The folder should contain some files - you dont need them all only snowstorm.js

1 Copy and paste the following line into Page>HTML Markup in the before End HEAD section

<script type="text/javascript" src="snowstorm.js"></script>

2 Upload the file “snowstorm.js” to your server at the same level as your Page that will have snow on it.

3 - no step 3 - your are finished. Upload and preview.

You can edit the snowstorm.js file to change some of the parameters if you dont like the default setup. The file is quite clear about what section does what but if you are editing use a plain text editor.

Hmmm! This is the message I get when I visit your site.

Internal Server Error. Please contact a server administrator.

OK - tried again and now working!

Hi there, I would love to offer the snowstorm effect to my clients in december.

But the snow disappears in the back, if the html or grafic items I use are layers, which is true for 100% at my clients websites.

Any chance to achieve it anyway?
Thanks a lot for any advices!

All the best!

In Freeway if you look to the left hand side of your document window you should see the site panel. At the foot of this panel is a little ‘gear’ icon. Click on this and select ‘Show Items’. The items on your page should now appear in the list. Locate the layered item you are using as the snowflake and drag it in the site panel all the way down until it is the last item listed for the page. This increases the item’s z-index and will display the item above all others when animated.
Regards,
Tim.

Thank`s Tim, I meant the “snowstorm.js” effect found at JavaScript Snow: DHTML Snowstorm. Making it snow on the internets since 2003..

Meanwhile I found out how to make it. Just set the snowStorm.zIndex to a higher value, which will make the snow sit on top of other absolutely-positioned elements.

snowStorm.zIndex = 10;

… works for me. Just change the value at the loaded “snowstorm.js” and that`s it. Nice effects! Cheers!

snowStorm.zIndex = 10;

I would make that 99 - just to make sure that further tweaks don’t let it slip behind.
