    Spry static gallery combined with Spry Effect Observers

    Mr. Andersson Community Member
      I have set up a Spry static gallery using the demo here.

      I would like to add a cross fade for the main image using the Spry Effect Observers shown at the bottom of this demo page.

      I like the thumbnail grow effect used in the first demo and like to add a cross fade for the main image when the thumbnail is clicked. Have someone built such an example or can someone show me how it is done? Typically I have 4 thumbnails/images per product page.

          Could someone at Adobe maybe comment on this?

          I like the gallery demo but not the fade transition as it is built right now. It's just effects for the effects sake and an added wait time for the viewer. It's a click and something will happen later, not now

          A crossfade is not a time consumer in the same way. It's a click and something happens directly and it will still have the benefit of the nice fade transition technique.

          I am "coding challenged" as someone said so I cant fix it myself.

            I thnik I know what's going on now...

            I tried Fireworks and it has a built in Slideshow creator. The setting that dont use Flash uses Spry and looks like the Spry gallery demo. The settings using Flash have cross fading images.

            From this I got the idea that Adobe maybe dont want us to cross fade with Spry. They want to push Flash instead. It could explain the total silence from Adobe in various threads where this question is asked.

              This is a user to user forum, Adobe will never reply to you.

              Also, Spry is still a pre-release framework, its nowhere near finished.
              Its the kind of framework where you take whats available and make
              something out of it, its very flexible if you know javascript.

              I am learning javascript just to understand the little bits that I am
              experimenting with, I think its the only way forward if you intend to do
              something outside the box.
