I have tried to implement the Scripty Fader action (version 0.3.1) into a webpage, but it fails to display anything. No JavaScript error message, nothing. It just won’t work.
The “Scripty Fader” object is put into a table which resides in a DIV box (it’s a CSS layout).
But when I move the object to the page itself (so it is no longer part of the DIV box), it works just fine as intended.
I checked any settings I could think of, but had no luck to solve this problem. Is this a known issue or (more likely) a mistake of mine ?
The Fader requires that it be applied to a stand-alone positioned DIV
in order to work. It’s a limitation of the Action at present. If I
find some time next weekend I will take another look at it and see if
I can make it go. If you’d like to try a hand at it, you know how to
crack open a bundle Action, right?

@waltd: It would be great to get it working even within DIV boxes. I hope you can manage it, because the action is really great
Yes, I know how to crack a bundle and also worked with JavaScript before, but I consider myself more an intermediate JavaScript worker than an expert. So I fear that this kind of JavaScript programming is above my limited skills.
Anyway, I promise at least to have a look at it (better than nothing
Could you please send me a one-page Freeway document that shows the
problem? I’m looking back over this right now, and I can’t spot where
it’s going off the rails. Are you trying to mark a table cell as the
point where the effect should run?

I can’t make the effect work with inline elements, because it relies
on slipping one element behind another (using z-index) and then fading
out the top element. This restricts it to a positioned-div layout,
where each element used in the effect is a stand-alone layer.

Hi waltd, I wonder if you had the time to take a closer look at the
project file I recently sent ?
If I can be of any assistance, please drop me a line
I have worked with scripty fader before and all works fine but
I just made a new one
images in graphic boxes on a page 1st image- action-scripty Fader and the next 3 images - action - scripty fader option.
but if I make a slight change an the graphic boxes the change will not read. I did try to take action off and reapply but that does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
Can you publish an example somewhere? I’ve never heard of this one. When you say the change does not read, do you mean that you see the old version? You may be hitting a cache error. There was a bug in Freeway where it was caching the HTML and graphics for internal previews, I remember seeing that it was fixed in an update not too long ago. But to tease this out, try previewing in a separate browser, maybe Firefox, and see if the change is there.

All three images are 600px square, positioned at 360px left 133px top. I watched it in Web Inspector while it animated, and there’s no change in the positioning code for any of the frames. I’m not sure what you mean by “higher up” here.

Hi Walter
thx for taking a look
here is page link
the first 2 illos work fine but the 3rd with the orang flowers will not recognize my positioning which is higher up
to clarify
on both firefox and safari , the orange illustration is covering the contact button but in freeway I have positioned image above the button so as not to interfere with it
thx
I’m saying that I don’t know what you’re expecting. All of the images will be swapped into the same container box on the page, when one fades out, the other appears, but they can’t be positioned differently from one another. If you want to have that image appear in a different spot, you have to do that by altering the image, not the layout. They all appear to be the same size, and they are popping into the same box, I don’t know how one could be shifted on the page, I don’t see that here.
