No, this is way beyond Xtreme's capabilities.

Yes, one can do that, but not with Web Designer. With Xara Xtreme or Xara Graphic Designer 5.

Here are some pists, these may be partial.

Look first at the brushes in Xara Brushes forum
http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=26485

And find out the film strip brushes.

-Create a rectangle background for your object. Place a div inside with an id:

Code:

<div id="scrolling_videos"></div>

-Go back to the graphical page, and create another rectangle inside, that you fill with the film strip brush.
-Then, create rectangles as placeholders for embedding your youtube videos.
-In each one, you replace it by html code for the you tube video.
-You can insert your code between

Code:

<div class="video"><!--you tube code--></div>

Then create a placeholder named <head> next to the page
Replace by html/CSS code:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
#scrolling_videos {position: absolute; height:the height; width: the width; overflow-y: scroll;}

.video {position:absolute; clip:rect(top px,right px,bottom px,left px);}
</style>

ab29, please post a working example .xar of this so we can follow your technique.

One can also do that with ******* products, the flash or javascript's one, that one can place into a placeholder.

ab29, we're well aware it can be done in Javascript or Flash. You're implying it can be done in Xtreme, that's why I asked for a working xar example, to see how you propose doing it.

Eltigre001,

I ran across your question recently and thought this CSS example
might be of benefit to you:

http://valums.com/vertical-scrolling-menu/

I have successfully made a page in XWD that uses this menu
of scrolling images and it works well if you only have about 15 images or so.
