I’m trying to build a site to present some videos. I want to have a scolling aera to choose the videos and a kind of a fix videoplayer on the same site. Here is an example of what I mean. Disney Filme | Offizielle Filme bei Disney Deutschland Does anybody have an idea if it is possible to do something like that in freeway pro? Thx

Try this (in a non-Strict page):

  1. Draw an iframe on the page with the iframe Action. Be sure to give it a name and note what that name is.
  2. Draw a graphic item on the page, load it with a static thumbnail image for the first movie.
  3. If you’re hosting the video on your server, make a new page the size of your iframe, with nothing on it except your movie. Click on your graphic, set a link to that new page, and in the Target field of the Hyperlink dialog, enter the name from step 1. If you’re using Vimeo or YouTube, do the same except use the URL they provide you for iframe embedding.

I haven’t tested this, but I think it might work. Obviously, you would then duplicate this for each of your movies.

As far as putting the thumbnails into a scrollable area, that’s a trivial thing in Freeway.

  1. Draw an HTML box wide enough to hold all of the thumbnails, then drag each thumbnail over that box, pressing the shift bar as you drag. The borders of the HTML box will glow blue when the thumbnail hovers over it, and when you release the mouse click, the thumbnail will be a positioned child of the HTML box.
  2. Repeat until your thumbnails are all lined up in a row within the HTML box.
  3. Now draw one more HTML box the size of your desired scrolling area. In the Inspector, set the Overflow to Auto or Scroll.
  4. Click once on your “filmstrip” of thumbnails (the HTML box part) and cut to the clipboard.
  5. Double-click inside your scrolling area HTML box so you see a flashing text cursor and paste.

The outer HTML box may expand to fit the child element you just pasted into it, simply change the dimensions back to your desired size using the Inspector. The inner HTML box may appear to hang out of its parent in the design view, but it will be invisible when the page is shown in a browser.
