Image Scroller - based on iTunes [link to Intermediate]

[rphMedia]

You don't have to make a custom one. I just didn't know if I could pass in a parameter that told it to not scroll.

I have two versions that I use.

Both are without description.

One is 900x250 and the other is 900x400.

900x400, no scroll, no description attached.

I don't really understand what you're saying nor the request.

Well let me try to rephrase. In the scroller based on .... you see the pictures and underneath they are mirrored into a slightly fading darkness, which is very nice. This is the same with this image scroller based on iTunes except the pictures underneath are much more faded out, you can only see half of them.
Is it possible to see the image scroller based on iTunes with underneath the mirrored images in the same way as with the scroller based on......?
And if so I am using the last swf file you created for Hama. I have included this one.

Hope this makes it clearer.
Thanx

Hi Ron

One user gave me the feedback that he can't see this add-on. He works with:

Kubuntu 8.10 (2.6.27-9-generic x86_64) with Firefox of Kubuntu and Flash 10.0rc12 via nspluginwrapper.

When he goes to http://orst.ch/index33.php he sees a white square instead of the add-on.

Do you have an idea?

Thanks!

hama

[rphMedia]

No, sorry, I don't have any idea. I don't even know what Kubunto is so it would be really hard for me to help.

[hama]

No problem at all. Thanks for having a look at it.

It's a GNU/Linux distribution. I see the same problem also. I get this message in the console, not sure if it is related.

Code:

Warning: Use of getBoxObjectFor() is deprecated. Try to use element.getBoundingClientRect() if possible.

[hama]

I see the same problem also.

Hi Nibbler

Thanks for your feedback. Can you please check the index.php of my coppermine installation.
On the top there is the same image scroller but without link to intermediate. Can you see this version?

http://orst.ch/copper/index.php

Maybe there are some differences between these two versions and this will help to find a solution.

[Nibbler]

Yes, I can see that version.

[hama]

Once again @Nibbler:

First try:

What about this version? Can you see the flash plugin? I changed from "flashobject.js" to "AC_RunActiveContent.js".

--> http://orst.ch/index44.php

Second try:

What about this version? Can you see the flash plugin? I changed from "flashobject.js" to the newest "swfobject.js".

--> http://orst.ch/index55.php

Sorry, I couldn't try it for myself. I wasn't able to install this Linux version in my VMware and I know, that you are working with Linux. Under Windows I can see both versions in IE and FF.

Thanks

hama

[Nibbler]

I can't see either of those.

[hama]

Thanks for testing. 

For the moment that's the end of my know-how. It's too complex.

I've got a new question around "Image Scroller - based on iTunes [link to Intermediate]":

Is it possible to have a reload after for example 10 minutes to get new pictures? We tried it with a bit javascript but it doesn't work.

Code:

$.timer(600000, Orst.Index.reload_slideshow);

The problem is that I can reload the page "by hand" or with "ctrl r" and I don't get new pictures. I have to close the browser open it again and then I get new pictures.

The scroller is on the homepage and it would be a nice mod when it would be reload for itself.

Does maybe someone know a solution?   

Thanks

The only way that I know of is to reload the page:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60000">

Is this what you want?

[hama]

Hi Ron

This method will refresh the whole page. My idea is only to "refresh" the "flash snippet".

I do it with some other pieces of the page (for example the news on the right side) but with the scroller it doesn't work.

Maybe it is not possible.

Have a good day!

Sounds like a job for AJAX. I'm not real familiar with it.

[MLP]

Safari does not seem to work with Image scroller script.
Please see attached screen shot with errors. I just discovered this from a friend. I have tested the image scroller on IE7.x and IE6.x and Firefox. All are on windows. All browsers work well.
The error is #2004 on Flash Player 10.
Has anyone experienced this problem? and if so is there a fix?

Incidentially the scroller is terrific!!!

Thanks

Sounds like a Safari problem to me.

I can't keep up with all the browser differences. It's bad enough that I do take IE & FF into consideration (doubles the workload).

If it's bothersome enough (only 4% use Safari at my site), I would remove the mod. Or there are ways to substitute the flash with an image, for example.

[MLP]

Good idea.
I will substitute an image, with a browser detection. 
No need to keep up with all the browsers. Appreciate the quick response.
