School Webpage Images

[mehball]

Hi all

 

I have been asked to look at changeing the main school webpage so that the images change (eg dissolve) into other images. The page is http://www.perins.net and we have for small prospectus images at the bottom which need changeing. Unfortunately I dont have any flash experience what so ever and from the java scripts ive seen they look abit tacky.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Cheers

SYSMAN has incorporated such a thing in the edugeek Joomla package - have you seen that?

Specifically your looking for the smooth gallery module of Joomla.

If you only have a few images, you can use a basic 'tween' in Flash to produce the desired fading effect... basically, image1 -> white -> image2

 

A proper CMS is more configurable and has the advantage of plugin modules (like smoothgallery) for doing things like this without any technical knowledge... you could even let a teacher change the pictures!!!

 

Incidentally... your website appears borken for me (Debian Etch running Iceweasel).
