Myshka Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi, I would like to create a slideshow of photos while text is scrolling on the page simultaneously. Would this cause any issues/bugs? Although I am eager to learn from my mistakes...this is for a client, so I don't want to screw up! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newseed Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Do you mean something like this? http://www.woothemes.com/flexslider/ If you mean a text scroller that is separate from a slideshow then yes you can have both. Just google them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshka Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Not quite like the example on the demo of the link you provided, but I haven't looked through it thoroughly. I'm hoping for a fade in and out transition of photos. I will be importing a slideshow from a media program into my code...if that makes sense? Yes, exactly the text will be scrolling separately from the slideshow. Edited May 27, 2014 by Myshka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 The Flex Slider does support fading pictures in and out -- it all depends on the options that you set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 You should really re-consider scrolling text. The W3C rejected Mozilla's scrolling text back in the 80's for the simple reason it is not user friendly. We all read at different speeds, include those with cognitive disorders who cannot understand faster text, Dyslexics who will have a devil of a time reading it. People who do not have English as a first language, they will all have issues if you have it at to fast a scroll and "Fast" can be different speeds for different people. Then there are the fast readers or those who skip words to read faster will find other text speeds to slow... Remember, you are creating a web site for others to use, so what you consider slow may still be to fast for sum. It really is not worth alienating users due to scrolling they can not read as it is to fast or to slow to read and boring for fast readers.

Myshka Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm really glad I posted this, as I was afraid of scrolling text posing a problem. The text is just the client's first and last name scrolling only on the first page. He is a fashion director and so the first page will be like a magazine cover. His first name in very large transparent font scrolling in from the left and his last name in very large font scrolling in from the right...at a moderate speed...then stopping in the middle. His first and last name only contain four letters. Will this still not be user friendly? His clients will be business owners and fashion agencies mostly. Cheers!
