How to create a scrolling slideshow

[rikkoshea]

Hi, am using WD11P and I would like to use a 'scrolling slideshow' on my website. The type of effect that I would like to create is, for example, one that appears towards the top of this website's home page: https://httlvn.org/ which scrolls completely across the page. Can this effect be achieved (in a simple way) using Xara Web Designer, or perhaps I need to use other software? I thought I may have asked about this topic before (apologies if that's the case) but I can't find it now. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, Rikko

Can't open that website.
Maybe you can find something in this thread.
I'm sure there is another thread about this, but can't find it right now.

Hi Siran, thanks for the reply however I'm afraid that looks too advanced for my skills. Also it's maybe not quite what I was seeking. It's a pity you can't open that website (opens simply with a click for me? Perhaps it might work better with a question mark at the end, ie: https://httlvn.org/? There are some 'bad' websites with similar names that are probably hacked by the Vietnamese government who often block any sites if they don't agree with the content, such as Christian based sites). But anyway, that slideshow there is a long sequence of photos/graphic items, which scroll after a short delay, displaying 5 equally sized images at a time, with captions, etc appearing like a bar extending fully across the webpage. Thanks again.

I can see the site, it's humungously large. I can also see the image scroller you're refering to, but there's no scroller in Xara to match this.

Hi, I do not know where that slider comes from but in the attachment you will find something that resemble but it is not the same. What I did is brought in the nivo slider from the design gallery, resized the width to 200 px, changed the effect to number 11 and the delay to 2 seconds and then copied and pasted 4 times. I also put in the 3 nivo slider controls provided by either Egg or Acorn I think to remove the controls. I did not change the pictures, double click a slider and follow the instructions.

Let us know if this works for you

Hi, go to the following website and look at demo 1 & 5, perhaps this is what you are looking for. http://www.menucool.com/jquery-slider As to whether it works with Xara, I do not know, maybe someone else can comment.
