Horizontal Scrolling Layer
Hey all, been a little while since I've posted at TWF. Been really busy with the academy and school not to forget my booming business
Anyway, I'm working on writing a DHTML script to for a project I'm working on. I'm building something similar to the effect done in Flash on this site: 300feetout.com. The only difference will be that it will be quite a bit slower and completely done in DHTML. Anyone know of any similar scripts already built or sites with a similar effect? I'm looking for any and all ideas. Thanks!

I assume you are talking about the scrolling image?
No, I haven't seen a script like that. But then again, I haven't checked any dHTML sites recently...
The closest thing to it that I've seen is a somewhat similar one that, believe it or not, I made in Visual Basic
, and those annoying dHTML cursor trails.
I guess that you could adapt the cursor script to this. It should be easier, seeing as the area is smaller, and only X co-ords are needed.

Hi Adam,
You should be able to create it by changing the left/posLeft attributes of the divs with a setTimeout.
something like:
newLeft = parseInt(divStyle.posLeft)
newLeft -= Math.floor( Math.random() * 50)
divStyle.visibility = 'visible';
divStyle.posLeft = newLeft;
where divStyle equates to:
document.all.divID.style
document.getElementById(divID).style
document.layers[divID]
You may need to place your images within an array of divs (real or functionally) so that you can rotate through them
If you need more, let me know (I wrote a 'car race' script that might help you along).

Vinny,
Defiantly, if you have any other similar code please post it or email. I'm going to start putting something together for this site Monday or Tuesday and could use all the assistance I can get. I'm not a DHTML guru but I get by with a little help

Hello everyone!
Over the weekend I got talked into doing a CD for a photographer friend of mine. At about 2:00 am I suddenly thought that doing a horizontal scrolling image maybe the ticket, unfortunatly i've got no idea how to do this. So this morning I started looking for some info. Low and behold here it is.
I'm more a ASP/Server side kind of guy but what ever what ever info I can get would be a great help.
Thanks
Paul

Ok gents, here it is (for what it's worth,
carRace
(not sure if everything is there [photos,eg], but you should get the idea nonetheless)
Again, it is not exactly what you are looking for, but it adaptable. Also, if you post code here and I'm around, I'll see what I can do to help.
Re emailing me -- I try to keep that for amusement & paying clients only, so....
