Hi,

Would it be possible to add a tooltip feature on the images?
When the mouseover, it’s able to show the name of the logo and text information.

This flash image scroller is great.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks for the great flash image scroller!

I ran into an issue where the flash component enters an infinite loop when the user quickly moves the mouse back and forth over an image, then over one of the left/right navigation buttons which results in 2 items being included in the _root.priorityJobs array. You might consider modifying the code at the beginning of the for loop on the Priority Jobs – Frame 1 to include the following which seems to fix this issue:

Priority Jobs – Frame 1

ActionScript Code:

…
// loop through all jobs in the priorityJobs array and do each job simultaneously
for (i=0; i<_root.jobListCopy.length; i++)
{
// make sure index parameter is specified for the following jobs
if (_root.jobListCopy[i] == "fade_in_item" ||
_root.jobListCopy[i] == "start_thumb_glow" ||
_root.jobListCopy[i] == "stop_thumb_glow" ||
_root.jobListCopy[i] == "start_zoom" ||
_root.jobListCopy[i] == "stop_zoom" ||
_root.jobListCopy[i] == "start_shadow" ||
_root.jobListCopy[i] == "stop_shadow") {

cancelPriorityJob(_root.jobListCopy[i]);
break;
}

var jobInfo = "";

I’d like to make yet another request for the ability to disable nav buttons and for the auto scroll to continue when the mouse leaves a picture. So that it could look something like this: http://geroldbrothers.com/

Is there any way to make this work with images of different widths? I need to make a scroller for logos, and I can make them all the same height, but they are all different widths.

Thanks.

Hi Benjamin,

I think it would be a good idea to add a dynamicUpdateContent(xml) function to the swf object.
We could call it from javascript to dynamically update the content of the scroller with something that looks like :

document.getElementById(“id_scroller”).dynamicUpdateContent(content);

Tell me what you think.

Regards,

Guillaume
