[Pro] Using a Slideshow with Carousel

Hi everyone,

I am using the Carousel action on a website I am creating and want to use a slideshow for one of the panes of the carousel.

I have tried it using the MooTools slideshow but they won’t work together, does anyone know how I can use both a slideshow effect and carousel together?

Thanks

Simon

An interesting idea - wonder if it would work with an externally built slideshow link?

I have used a Showcase gallery in a Carousel - I will dig out a link.

This lightbox pop up slideshow is something but unless I’m wrong - I think they were asking if a slideshow could be (auto)playing inside one of the panes? (no click, just arrow over and it starts up in the newly loaded pane)

Thanks Karen and Dave,

Karen you are right, I am looking to for one of the panes itself to be a slideshow and I think I have achieved it by using the Target Show/Hide Layer Action.

I’m not in the studio today, but once I have something up and running I’ll drop a link in to show you what I have done.

Dear Delta Dave,

How do you make this gallery in a carousel? The one with the thumbnails you can click on. I have zero understanding of code so I need a step by step description :-). I am also wondering whether there is a way to have html based subtitles to your carousel pictures or do you have to integrate text into your jpgs?
Thank you,

Nina

Uhm, just realized you used a showcase gallery so I might be able to figure it out by myself- sorry for not paying attention in the first place. Still wondering about the subtitles though.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in doing this but you can see the effect I was after here on my beta site …

So is that Target Show/Hide in conjunction with Sequence Timer?

Be v careful about your file sizes though - your background.png image is 1.32Mb - make it much smaller and tile it to reduce this. Jpeg too?

Also you could leave simplicity, style etc as one image and just crop the others - hertford, fresh, easel etc - that would save you another 0.5Mb easy.

Hi Delta,

That’s right, Target Show/Hide with the sequence timer.

Thanks for the other tips as well, I have made the changes and re-uploaded … and also added a flurry as I’ll probably launch it on the 1st December.

Sure that is better but you still have your images

Why not break these up into separate images - this will reduce your file sizes quite a bit.

I did, not sure why it’s still showing like that …

I’ll look in to it.

There you go, sorted it.

All uploaded again.

You probably don’t notice so much because all the images are cached but it loads soooooo much faster now.
