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

Looks great - I'll give it a try. Thanks

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. )

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

woohoo, I'm happy it worked and as an extra bonus it means Rachael can view it too

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?

[mike_1337]

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
