How To - Rotating Banners

**marotti** · 10 March 2011, 11:50 AM

Hello Everyone

I am trying to add a banner that has pictures dissolve one to the other, not a slide show with controls or that needs user interaction, just want the pictures in the banner to change every xx amount of time, and maybe stop after xx cycles.

How do I do that in XWD6?

Thanks in advance!!

Make a Flash/GIF animation?
Or visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ or similar to find a script.
Or http://xara-users.info/demos/ ?

Hi

Thanks for the two links. They are new to me, and very useful!

Also, I think I am using the wrong term "Rotating Banner" which is more of an advertising tool. I really just want my header on my web pages to have a picture that dissolves every few seconds so that I can show a series of photos without any user controls or interaction.

Thanks Again!!

Hey Guys,

I just made a flash animation in WD6 by just changing the pictures in each frame. It works OK, but is there any way to add a little more control to the output in WD6?

I would like a dissolve transition between frames so the pictures don't appear and disappear so abruptly.

I would like not to have to go to flash to do this if possible.

Any way to do that??

Thanks for all of your help!!!
