sound fx problem

One thing you could try is to substitute ScriptyFader for other
effects. As much as you love the Carousel, and as neatly as it maps
onto the product you’re advertising, it suffers from the limitation
that all of the elements it shows on screen are part of the page, and
thus contribute to the overall page weight. The same thing is true of
the Fading Slideshow effect.

ScriptyFader, on the other hand, does an Ajax request for the next
animation element if it hasn’t been loaded into the page yet, and thus
the initial page load is limited to just the currently-visible
elements. Each additional frame is requested and added to the page
just as it’s needed, until all of the elements are loaded into the
browser’s memory. (This technique is sometimes called lazy-loading.)

But this brings with it a different trade-off – because those
elements aren’t in the page at the initial load, they are not
considered for SEO purposes. Since all you’re loading are pictures,
there’s no loss. But if you were loading in news stories or other
content that you wanted to have a chance with the search engines, then
you would want to pick something else.

Walter, I’ll try to lower the size of all images and the backgrounds
also. I expected that this kind of page would be bigger than a
normal one, but the idea is to load it faster too. Besides lower the
size of the images do you have any suggestion to get the page smaller?

I appreciate your help!

Dear Walter,

The carousel action is working perfectly, together with the
Protaculous instead of the sound fx action even in IE, but
curiously I have noticed some hiccups on the page with Firefox and
a minor one in Safari.

This is the link. Please take look. It’s still a working in
progress:
http://www.sunshinedoorsspecialists.com/new/site/index.html

This website is the one I’m using the carousel action as pages. On
the carousel action I notice some delay on the carousel tab. In
safari at first, It takes about 2 seconds to the carousel to move
to the next panel after you click with the mouse. On the other
hand in Firefox after you click on the tabs the URL changes
sometimes to something like: http://www.sunshinedoorsspecialists.com/new/site/index.html#panel-2

Do you have any idea how could I adjust it?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Walter!

Thank you very much, for your help!
So, do you recommend that instead of using the actual target show/hide layer I’m using now I change to the your action ScriptyFader? I was considering using your action before as it gives more control of the slideshow with the SriptyFader Thumbnail etc, but for some reason I don’t remember now I used the target show/hide…
Please let me know

best,
Marcus

I would experiment with it on a copy of the page. I can’t say for sure
whether it would work correctly or at all, I haven’t tried this
combination of effects before.

Walter, for some unknown reason the ScriptyFader isn’t working in Google Chrome. I’m not sure I’m using it properly: I have 10 images and put the Scripty Fader in all of them and set it to 5 seconds, then I Added the ScriptyFader Option in all of them but the first one and put image #1 on it’s place and images 2 to 10 in another place outside of the page. Is that correct?

There’s also a third part slideshow called Slideshow Pro director that keeps the files in another server and it maybe another solution also. What do you think?

best,
Marcus

You only put ScriptyFader on the first one, ScriptyFader Option on all
the others (within a single group). ScriptyFader defines where on the
page the effect will happen, along with the first element in the
group, ScriptyFader Option marks all the other elements as “belonging
to” whichever ScriptyFader element is chosen in their Action
interface. This is what allows you to have multiple fader groups on a
single page without confusion.

I think the page is much quicker now. I reduced the size of all images and Walter’s ScriptyFader helped because it doesn’t have to load all images at the same time. But one thing intrigues me is the error message I get on Safari’s developer menu: “Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://sunshinedoorsspecialists.com/new/site/index.html from frame with URL YouTube. Domains, protocols and ports must match.”

I’m not using the Youtube pro action, but simply added the video with the markup action using the embedded information from the video, so why I I’m still getting this> Any ideas?

The movie embed script (from Google) is trying to burst out of its
security sandbox, and learn more about your page and the rest of its
environment. It’s nothing you are doing or doing wrong, it’s just the
way that Google have coded their embed script. It won’t hurt anything,
it will just fail except in less security-conscious browsers, like
that fading fast one from Redmond Washington.

I was in doubt if I needed to open a new thread or just add it over here as is has to do with the same website I’m working on, so I decided to add:

On one of the panels of this carousel page, to be more exactly, on the third panel (services) I want to include a Showcase or a Scriptyligthbox, whichever gives me a smaller file on load, but I’m not sure which one will be smaller. I have the impression that the Scriptylightbox is the one, but I’m not sure. What do you guys think?
