Would you want the scroll to be native (browser-drawn) or a custom scroll with images? (The former is MUCH easier, before you answer.)
To get started with this, make a new blank Freeway page, and draw an HTML box on it somewhere. Inside that box, type out (or paste) your content, then use the List segment of the Text Inspector to set up the nesting structure.
You should end up with something that looks like this:
- A collapsed entry with children.
- An expanded entry with children.
- Child with no children and a lot of text saying something rather important that we need to know, and that takes three lines in this case.
- Child with children and a lot of text saying something rather important that we need to know, and that takes three lines in this case.
- A child
- Yet another child
- A collapsed entry with children.
- An entry with no children.
Basically, it should be all of the content, at all levels, entirely nested out the way you intend it to look fully-expanded. Once you have this done (and please, resist the urge to style it in any way – leave it entirely plain as it can be) then post it on line somewhere and we can take the next step. The CSS will make the bullets appear the way you have indicated them in your sketch, and the JavaScript will initially collapse the structure to just the headers, and add “listeners” (functions that respond to clicks or mouseovers) to make the structure responsive.
To get a list like this to fit within a defined space on screen, with scroll bars, all you need to do in Freeway is set the height of the container HTML box which holds the list, and then set the box’s Overflow property to Scroll or Auto. Freeway will write the necessary CSS for you to ensure that the browser doesn’t allow the element to grow in height, and the browser will draw the scrollbars if the content is taller than the container.
