[Pro] Why is Random Sequence so irregular?

Got a testwebsite almost ready: www.shelter.nl/test You’ll see at the bottom of the big-picture-slideshow quotations from people who have visited this hostel. This is made with the Random Sequence applied to the page. But as you can see, sometimes there is a long break between the quotes. The setting is 4500, so it should be regular. Customer complained… Can I solve that one way oer the other?

Thanks,

Paul

I notice that image and comment appear to be separate targets and this
will affect the timing. Try grouping the two and selecting the group
as each target.

I think I am missing the point Colin? Could you clarify that? The action is applied to the page and then…?

OK - You have applied the Sequence Timer to the page and for each
image and comment caption to appear you seem to have added the Target
Show/Hide Layer to each image and comment separately.

Instead, if you select both an image and comment together and go to
the Item Menu and click on Group you will see these are now in a
container. In the Site Panel, select the container and apply the
Target Show/Hide Action to that and set the Target# for each pair.

Each image and caption should now appear simultaneously, in sequence,
more smoothly and more consistently.

No guarantee it will be what you want , but worth a try. :wink:

Indeed, I did group the background grey transparent image with the quotes and it seems to work!

Thanks Colin!
