Has anyone noticed that the effect no longer slides up or down? It just fades the item now with FWP6 and the updated FX Action.

Well I’ve tried different items. If its a pure TEXT in an HTML box, the slide down FX works as expected.
Apply it on a Graphic BOX, HTML with a graphic in it, the FX ends up as a Blind Down FX. So Slide Down/UP works exactly the same as Blind Down/UP FX on FWP 6. I used Preview in Browser within FWP6 to test it.
Anyone confirm this?

Check the dimensions section of the Inspector. Is the height of this box defined as fixed in px or flexible? Oh, and post a link to an example, we can look at it in the Safari Web Inspector to see what the CSS is being written as. That’s the issue here. You may need to wrap your graphic in another HTML box, using inline construction – draw an HTML box, double-click inside it, choose Insert / Graphic Item and place your image there. That’s the only way to get a parent HTML element that you can adjust without using Extended attributes.

Yes I have the menu fixed. The FX is applied there as well as the graphic in the middle page. Clicking the logo button should cause the image to slide up, instead it blinds up.

Draw an HTML box where you want your image to appear. Set its height to fixed, and its overflow to hidden. Double-click inside it and choose Insert / Graphic Item. Click once on that element and import your image into it. Resize it to suit. Now click again on the outer HTML box that you created first. Note the Name/ID of that box, and use Shift-Command-D to resize the box to fit its contents. Click on your graphic button, and in the Actions Palette, change the Item picker to match the ID of the HTML box. Preview and see if that does what you want.
The issue is that you were applying the FX Action to the image directly, and you have to apply it to a parent HTML element to get the Slide Up effect to work as expected.

No, it looks like the Action was doing it wrong. In 5.5, if you apply the Action to an image, it wraps that image in an extra empty div, which is the same thing that the long-hand way I proposed to you does. In 6.1, when you apply the Action to an image, it INSERTS the empty DIV before the image, so you end up with this:
<div>
<img />
<div></div>
</div>
This doesn’t do anything helpful.

I still have 5.5 and it works without the need to apply the method you showed me. Perhaps I need to send a ticket to Softpress regarding the FX Action in FWP6 behaving differently from FWP 5.5.

I’ve filed a bug, please pile on. The more visibility this gets, the faster it will get fixed. Do you have 6.1 or 6.1.1 there? I haven’t updated to the latest yet.
