Slow motion background

[Rob-Xar]

Parallax is a really cool effect, but as Gary said this is not natively possible in Xara.

That being said, I do love a challenge. I'll see if I can make something (but no guarantees!)

Ok, have a look at this really basic example: http://robert74.magix.net/pe/

NOTE: it may take a while to load, this is because the images are VERY unoptimized, i basically got the images from here as an example: https://unsplash.com/ and they are huge so take a while to download. Should I have spent more time on it, I would of optimized them first.

File here: pe.xar

Taken from here: http://callmenick.com/2014/07/15/sim...olling-effect/

Simply insert the body code in placeholders, the CSS in the Web Properties HEAD section and make sure the photos are linked correctly.

As before this is a really basic example done over a pint and tiredness, I'm sure someone can do a much more polished example Any questions let me know.

Thanks
Rob

Sorry, the images where way to large. I've optimized the example page much better, should load faster now:

Hi Rob

Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but creating a parallax scrolling effect is turning into a bit of a obsession with me.

I have had a look at the file you provided, but I cannot work out how to change the background images - I did try ctr+shift+ alt+ A, but this did not work

Could you advise please?

I think I may now be answering my own question, but from what I see the images are not embedded in the file, but are 'pulled' from a host? Is there a way of embedding them in the xara file or would I need to host them somewhere and point to them within xara?
