Hi,

I recently bought the book, and have had a lot of success with the information. My question is,

Can I make the auto fading slideshow not stop with a mouse over? I just want it to continually change images and never stop when moused over.
The reason I want this is to do a basic animation by speeding up the slideshow and reducing the fade effect but I don't want people to be able to mouse over the animation and it stops.

Thanks.

Hi,

what you could do is place a TextBox or a Shape (reducing opacity to zero) in front of the slideshow for people to not be able to interact with it hence putting the mouse over it the slideshow would continue to play.

Kind regards,

I just applied it and it worked great. Thanks so much, I was worried there would be no way to do it and I would have to use a different type of slide show and redo everything. This is a also a nice alternative to deleting the link urls and description in the code.

OK, so this solution works great for browsing on a regular computer, but on mobile devices it still stops the slide show if it's clicked on. Any suggestions on how to disable this on mobiles?

Thanks

Open the fadeslideshow.js you find in the fadeslideshow folder with TextWrangler and look for this line:

Code:

      setting.$wrapperdiv.bind('mouseenter', function(){setting.ismouseover=true}) //pause slideshow mouseover

change true to false

Code:

      setting.$wrapperdiv.bind('mouseenter', function(){setting.ismouseover=false}) //pause slideshow mouseover

And it won't stop on mouseover anymore.
