Hi,

Not very good with flash but need an image rotator for showing the latest news + clickable to other pages.

Searched high & low for one but havent come across one that will do yet.

Doesn't need navigation, juts simple image rotating (fading into each other not white).

Open-source if possible?:)

Anyone know of any?

you could use JavaScript instead

http://medienfreunde.../lab/innerfade/ (there is an example somewhere in the middle of that page :)


Before you argue about it being JavaScript and people having it turned off, some people don't use flash so they are equally as good/bad as each other :pp

Why does it have to be Flash? Like Dizi said, Javascript would work bettererererer. :)

(And FWIW, Dizi, I do have Javascript support on this browser. :pp)

Worked Great! - I just assumed it would be done in Flash but this did the job perfect.

:rofl: Oh dizi... you crack me up sometimes.

Glad things are sorted for you, Mike. You'll also find your non-use of flash will help with SEO. :)

I have a question on this - do all the images get loaded at the start or are they loaded dynamically?

I found out why it wasn't loading in the first place - it uses an XML file to load the images but its looking for the xml file in the public_html directory instead of where the swf file is located. How can i pass a variable to the swf file?

Im thinking of changing the xml path to /images/slideshows/(variable number)/images.xml - any ideas how?

// load xml
images_xml = new XML();
images_xml.ignoreWhite=true;
images_xml.onLoad = parse;
images_xml.load("images.xml");

Is there a way to get innerfade to load the images dynamically? I have around 20 images but dont want them all loading together
