[Pro] random page background

Freeway
1

I want to have several different background images on my home page and I want to randomise them so for example if I refresh my browser it will load a different image everytime or if a cusomer returns to visit the site they see a different image everytime.

Is there a simple action to do this or a tutorial out there?

Thanks

Jim

Until someone comes up with a more efficient answer, try making a
Master Page with stack of images to the page size of your web site and
using the Random Image Action. Keep the stack below all other layers
and this will provide a background to the page size you have set.
Please note, this will not affect the browser window background,
which you can set separately to a neutral colour.

Make sure you have the latest version of Random Image from:

http://www.actionsforge.com/actions/view/116-random-image

After you download it, you may need to add the extension .fwaction, so
that you can just double click on it to load into Freeway.

Be aware that too many large graphic images will slow loading of the
site.

There wasn’t, so I wrote one.

This Action comes in two flavors – one for the page and one for
individual elements on the page.
